The vibrant costumes worn by all the cast such as Queen mother and different tribes and people of Wakanda had a fresh feel to it. You can put a jacked dude in that costume and you've got yourselves a Black panther, looking person. The Black Panther's costume is like Deadpool's costume. Costume design in the movie is another area that must be applauded. I could narrate some of them in fresh fashion but I do not want to spoil the joke! So just watch it yourself. The comedy that erupted between King brother and prodigy-scientist sister and between Dr.watson and Man-ape/M'Baku were the ones that stood out for me. Another uplifting thing about the movie was the comedy. Scenes such as the entrance to Wakanda, the dreamland/limbo sequence, the Black panther cave, the Vibranium structured city stood out amongst many others. His character has got such enriched background and history that so much more could have been done with his character. On a personal note, I think the arc of Killmonger could have easily been taken to some other direction. The rise of a king, the revenge of an outcast (outcasted without his fault), a general's loyalty towards throne or the man sitting on the throne, a son dealing with demons created by his father and many more. Watson was doing in Wakanda? (Watson-Wakanda, maybe there is some connection.) There were multiple story arcs that were pondered upon in the film. I was getting confused as to why or what Dr. Martin Freeman's character could have been more explored, because to me his look was too similar to BBC Sherlock's Dr. (There may be a technical term for the scars, Please comment if you know). Jordan, as Killmonger, brought a mean/maniacal/destroyer look to him, which was enhanced by the upper body scars created by the makeup department, each scar stood for a kill. Killmonger, the antagonist, has also been acted very well. That is the sequence when the audience learns that the King has arrived(BAM!!). The Kingship, channeled through his acting, peaked in the scene where he raises his voice in front of the preceding black panthers (in 2nd limbo/dream/ other world sequence) to make a point, his point, a point to bring change, a point that challenges the orthodox thoughts of the preceding Kings/Black Panthers. Chadwick Boseman, playing the protagonist King T'Challa/Black Panther, has nailed the parts of "a good man", "king" and "warrior". So I will keep it 100 percent positive i.e.
