Also MCU credit scenes have felt a bit disappointing lately, not really worth staying in the cinema for, but 's scene actually made me gasp audibly

And actually while I'm raving about can I just say how much I love the ? Not only is M'Baku a side character that gets a better story line and a more developed and complex character than your average Hollywood Blockbuster's main character, I love the design decision someone made back in the original to have a mountain tribe living in the snow and showcase the diversity of African landscapes 1/2

Rather than just going with the stereotypical hot arid landscape European and American audiences would probably be expecting. And I love how the leader who could be seen as deliberately playing up to the racist stereotype of being a thuggish brute turns out to be the sort of moral centre of the film, the most honourable character and also revealed to be well read

@afewbugs Looking forward to it.

I put "Addams Family Values" in the same category.
