Take 1: All those shades of brown-skinned people in speaking parts that call for a range of emotion make Black Panther a triumph of imagery. But it’s less than the sum of its praiseworthy parts.
Take 2: Black Panther is not a documentary about large cats. But it is about a wealthy Black African nation hiding from colonizing, White, global superpowers. So, it may be a documentary about self-preservation.
