    Sir Swagalot

    y’all notice the vultures constantly flying over the juke joint

    “In many Native American cultures, vultures are associated with both death and rebirth, often acting as messengers between the spirit world and the living, or as guardians of the deceased. They are also seen as creatures of magic, tricksters, or even shape-shifters with powers over disease and even the creation of land”

    On top of the obvious culture-vulture theme, it seems like Coogler played with each of those Native symbolic points of vultures throughout the film: dead/rebirth, magic/voodoo, trickery, shape-shifting, messengers between the spirit world and the living and guardians of the deceased

    Very very few movies make their budget back the opening weekend. Given the CinemaScore the movie is bound to have great legs. I think a 3.5x multiplier is a low estimate which would put it over $200m at the box office

    LOL they predicting a nother 40m weekend which is like a 10% drop this movie is gonna go on a crazy run

    Plot convenience is a thing where something suddenly happens to save the good guys.

    The entire time they kept saying “we just gotta wait it out for the sun to come out we gotta wait it out all night” and set it up as if it was like around midnight and they deadass had to wait for hours.

    And then the sun comes out like 10 minutes later making what the Asian lady did seem even more stupid

    Well the issue was the threat of infecting the town the next night

    So then why would they bring them inside where they would be away from the sun, in theory since the sun is what killed all of them

    What I’m saying is why not go outside to fight them? You have the sun that’s coming up, you have a juke joint to retreat if needed. Bringing them into the one place keeping you safe was stupid.

    Also with the little fire bottle she was holding, why not attempt to just throw it outside where they was parading? Literally open the door, and try and hit em with it.
