RE: Black Panther Spoiler-Free Review (That is Actually a Spoiler Review but Only if You've Watched It #killmongerhadapoint)
Because fashi that thing, Hollywood so far has the best quality. If you want to be the best, you either join the best or you beat the best. The people that made this movie? They took all their skills, combined it with Disney and Marvel's money and JOINED THE BEST. That's why they made the best.
Lupita Nyong'o is Kenyan. Danaii Gurira is from Zimbabwe. Daniel Kaluuya is from Uganda. Florence Kasumba, also Uganda. African actors doing it BIG on the BIGGEST movie stage there is. If Nigerian actors want to play at that level, they know what to do.
When those stories of Genevieve in Spectre abi Skyfall and Funke Akindele in Black Panther came out, I knew they were nonsense. You know why? Because I cannot imagine Funke Akindele entering gym to train herself to Dora Milaje level the way Lupita Nyong'o or Danai Gurira did. I cannot imagine Genevieve doing sex scene with Daniel Craig or training to be action girl. Our actors and actresses never reach that level.
By contrast, Chadwick Boseman is 41 years old:

Danai Gurira was 39 when she filmed the movie. She is 40 now.

That's training, that's dedication to craft. How many Nigerian actors at their age will put in that kind of work to look that good and move that well? Just for a movie?
If Nollywood wants my money, they know what to do. Until they are international standard or at least showing that they can progress to that level, I will continue to look elsewhere.
