Review of LEGO Marvel Super Heroes: Black Panther - Trouble in Wakanda

"LEGO Marvel Super Heroes: Black Panther - Trouble in Wakanda" is a pretty long title for a relatively short film as this one here like most of the other Lego Animation films (unless the full features) runs for slightly over 20 minutes, so the same like a sitcome episode and the director here is Michael D. Black. Don't be fooled by the many writers as most of these are from the old days of Marvel and inventing the Avengers, including the recetly deceased Stan Lee of course. There are most of the Avengers included here, even Thor has a cameo at the end, and at the center of it all is Black panther as you can also see from the title. I wondered why because honestly early on he did not stand out and I wondered why Iron man mentions him explicitly on one occasions besides the other Avengers that he does not mention in detail in the sense of who is who. But yeah the longer the film went, the more Black Panther and it is not surprising looking how huge of a (box office) success the live action film was that Lego would be trying to cash in. By the way it felt a bit ridiculous how easy Iron Man deals with Thanos looking at the recent full feature film. Also I felt Thanos looked really powerless and not half as impressive as he should have, which may admittedly have less to do with how he looks here, but with how iconic he looks portrayed by Brolin. Overall, the story here did not feel too strong, even if it wasn't a failure. Felt a bit unrealistic that Thanos would need Killmonger and most of all Klaue to help him. Or that they would collaborate with him. Thanos sees himself as someone restoring justice, he may be an antagonist, but he is not necessarily a villain, just a very insane guy. So I don't think it makes too much sense for him to collaborate with villains. But yeah, there are other weaknesses too, some of them subjective. If you like Lego animation style more than I do, then maybe you will also like this film. Chances are better at least. There are also some animated Lego characters that you don't see too often like a rhinoceros and very briefly a polar bearf at the very end. Coompletely away from that, anybody else felt Black Panther looked a whole lot like Batman? I don't know. I give this film a thumbs-down. Watch something else instead. Even if you love the Avengers (or their recent epic battle vs Thanos because I did too), this does not mean you will appreciate this one here.
