Black Panther and Kingdom Come: Deliverance

So I've been busy for a bit more than a week now as I have been working on a review for Kingdom Come: Deliverance, a game that can take over 100 hours to complete, and because of how I play/enjoy games, I may approach that before writing the review. Good news is, I am enjoying it and having fun. Do have some criticisms, but most are not too major. (Personally I do not have an issue with the save system, unless the game crashes, then I am peeved.)
What I think I can more freely talk about is Black Panther, which I saw just earlier today. I do think it is a good movie, but it too has some weaknesses. Some aspects of the story are cliche, but I'll be fair and say being an origin story can almost require cliches (plus, cliches work, but one should still be cautious). There were some plot holes at the end, like resolving why M'Baku came and what his new status is, so I am hoping there will be deleted scenes explaining this, as even a couple lines like, 'It is time we came down from the mountain,' with a positive and affirmative response would do the job. The main criticism I have is a certain weakness to the beginning as I felt the Wakandan tribes were not well introduced. The movie provides very little information about them or their roles, so the conflicts between them and their members felt more hollow than I wish they were. Still an enjoyable movie though and I am looking forward to seeing what comes next.

Congrats Philly!

Wow! That was an amazing game to watch, even if it did not have my Packers in it, and I am very happy I stayed up and tuned in. I doubt this Super Bowl went anything like what most people were expecting, but that is part of the fun of any game. Good job, Eagles, but next year, it's going to be healthy Aaron Rodgers leading the Packers to victory in LIII.
