I saw the movie too and I enjoyed it for the most part. I was worried it would feel long, but I guess I'm getting used to these Marvel movies so it wasn't that bad for me. And fortunately, no one showed up late in the theater I was in, at least not that I noticed. The only thing I do like about the reserved seating is that I can show up to the theater 15 mins before the movie, rather than way earlier because I need to get a good seat. I do think they probably exploit convenience fees because way more people probably book their tickets online due to the reserved seating. :\
Regarding Letitia Wright, she shared some sort of anti vaxx video on her twitter, but she did end up complying. And she claims as of recent, when called out about it, that she's 'apologized and moved on'.
I agree with your take on Shuri's character and how rich her arc was. I didn't think twice at her not having a romantic interest but unless the guy took Riri's role, they probably didn't have time, considering all the characters/back stories they had to introduce. I bet she may have one in the third movie though. I did like the Aquaman movie but I also liked what they did with Namor and his people too.
You make a good point about the lack of charisma with Shuri. She works best when she is working with someone (and she has strong sibling chemistry with Chadwick). I was a little worried early on in the movie that Lupita had been side lined but I am glad Nakia got to play a role. She is one of my faves and definitely has a strong presence. I guess they figured they can have a 'T'Challa Jr' as opposed to going through with any recast.
