Yeah, I guess it's just a matter of opinion. There's a reason I paid tons of money for the non-Lucas-updated Star Wars original trilogy - I always felt there was something magical about everything being a real puppet, costume, special effect etc.

I think a lot of people would probably watch less movies if there were no real actors on screen, just voice actors. Then again, voice actors tend to be much more likable people, so they'd probably have a lot less potential PR disasters...

Next bit thing will be a.i. photorealistic actors, because after the machine uprising humanity will be dead but the lizard people that rule the world will still want star packed extravaganza in exchange for keeping the old gods asleep.

Just kidding, you don't get a vote.

Big change there then

really liked the supporting cast the sister was awesome

With guardians and avengers all seemingly concentrating on Wakanda, I'm picturing a three-sided gadget-off between her, Stark, and Rocket....

A gadget off that she wins of course and is also shown to be smarter than Stark and probably Bruce too.

I dunno... She has more common sense than Tony, that's for sure. But it's easy to come up with new gadgets if you have a Wakandan lab full of supertech. Stark built his first suit out of basically scrap metal.

Vibranium (Wo)Man... Now that would be awesome.

Indeed. Still, having the starting tech base is one thing; coming up with stuff like the black panther suit (which is essentially what the Bleeding Edge Iron Man armour wants to be and might turn out in the MCU to be what it's based on) is another.

Stark has come up with a few tricks of his own, but you could equally point out that at least one of his most fundamental inventions - Repulsortech - were based on his father's early repulsion coils, and it's possible that the core of the A.R.C. reactor technology was based on the science his father reverse-engineered from the Tesseract (at the very least, the materials science required to make it work was an inherited concept).

I'm not knocking Tony's science skills either, just pointing out that he inherited some scientific toys that Shuri didn't have, as well as vice-versa.

Don't overlook Short, Fluffy and Cynical, too.

He may be much more fighter than scientist compared to Tony Stark and Shuri, but he's a weapons engineer himself (remember the Hadron Enforcer was his own design), and he's experienced with Kree, Xandarian and cosmic-tech hardware and the principles behind it.

Put all three of them in a room, and I dread to imagine what the Mark N+1 Iron Man/Panther suit they'd be left with afterwards would look like.
