Black Panther II - Wakanda Forever. Review and redraft

I thought the new (or interim) Black Panther was underwhelming. I did not get the impression of strength or agility or resilience from the new Black Panther. The new protector of Wakanda was more pussycat than panther. An angry or vengeful pussycat, but still a pussycat.

Namor was also underwhelming. Killmonger was more menacing, and had more swagger. Namor was calm, reasonable, and civilised. There was no sense of dread or menace from him. 

And the movie was too long.

Confused Fairy Tales: Cinderella and the Bean Stalk

[Mar 18 2nd Edition]

Cinderella lost her mother some years ago, and now she lives with her stepmother, and two step-sisters. 

Her step-sisters had the best clothes, the best food, and did not need to do any housework at all because Cinderella's father was wealthy and could afford servants. 

However, when her father's wealth was spent away, they lost their servants one by one and Cinderella took over the cleaning (when the housekeeper was let go), and then laundry (when the washerwoman was let go), and finally the cooking (when the cook was let go). 

All the while her step-sisters continued to live the life of pampered rich girls, leaving Cinderella to do the household chores.
