For all Namor knew, they could have already made many copies of the detector, so it doesn't make sense why the individual scientist would matter that much.
Now I think we are getting into theories of whether he knows or not. Namor is there to protect his people and maybe he was thinking irrationally. I get why he would want her, who the invaders did mention, dead.
All he thought of, from what he said in his introduction, was about this particular scientist inventing the detector. An invention thought to be impossible to do do. Maybe he also wanted to interrogate her into spilling more information on who else might be involved.

Biggest flaw was that Namor's intro was contrived as it doesn't make sense why he would want that specific scientist. In fact the motivation that he ended up switching to in the second act (that the surface world was getting close to their vibranium so he wanted Wakanda to ally with him in a preemptive strike) made a lot more sense, so I think it would've been much simpler just to...lead with that ultimatum? Ironheart could have been introduced in any number of ways.
Other than that, very good movie. Story (other than the flaw I mentioned) was well-done, the emotions were honored well without being milked, and the performances were great. Letitia Wright was definitely the standout of the movie. Fantastic performance and I'm really excited to see Shuri take the lead in future movies. I overall liked the action as well, especially the attack on the Wakandan capital, though still not exactly top-tier in that department.
My read on that was since Riri had invented the detector, he wanted to go straight to the source of the invention. Cut the head of the snake situation.
And I’m pretty sure from the beginning, Namor suggests to Ramonda and Shuri during his first introduction to become allies to stop invaders from stealing vibranium. He thinks Riri(the American scientist) was one of the invaders by indirectly helping them to find it.

They didn’t need to kill off Angela Bassett’s character, not after what happened. If they had to, she should’ve been the new Black Panther.
There was too much going on at once.
Okoye, Nakia and Ramonda are the stand outs for me. Coel was wasted unfortunately. Namor is the weak link. His lines and delivery made me giggle at several points, unintentionally of course.
The CGI was troublesome and it was far too long, the middle and third acts couldn’t reach the first.
There are some great moments and the costume design is mostly incredible, Okoye’s new costume not withstanding, that kept getting laughs from the audience lol. The mid credit scene was just lazy writing.
I definitely respect your opinion, but after watching the film, I almost disagree with every issue you wrote. Especially the mid credit had lazy writing and Namor.
The only thing I agree with you on is some parts of the film the CGI wasn’t great. It still didn’t detract from my enjoyment of the film.

so it's clearly not as good as the first. Hope it doesn't get a bunch of Oscar nominations out of sympathy
What nominations would you expect them to give the film out of sympathy?
I believe all the nominations and wins the first received were well deserved.

Source? That does not at all match my recollection of how IW reviews trended.
“As of this writing, Avengers: Infinity War has an 86 percent approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes, with 106 reviews counted. Currently, there are 17 negative reviews.“

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever is now at 91% with 108 reviews.-

This is the one MCU movie I (and I assume most people) had been understandably nervous about for a while so the fact that they seem to have managed to mostly live up to expectations is a major sigh of relief. Can't wait!
If the reviews stick and audiences’ reception is good/great, it will show how great of a director Ryan Coogler really is. Against all odds, he was able to make at least a good film.

Yes. Sometimes more if you’re watching in IMAX/3D. $20 a piece for me.

I feel like every bit of marketing I’ve seen from Black Panther has been quite morose. I get why, but man it really does seem like it’s gonna be a bit of a downer.
The tv spots give me the complete opposite feeling. They are all quite action heavy and show a bit of light hearted moments.

isnt letitia extremely problematic?
Maybe for a small segment of moviegoers. Most people don’t know nor care care about the controversy that surrounded Letitia Wright. The fact that it happened more than a year ago makes it even more of a nonissue.

[DON'T EXPLAIN THE JOKE MODE = OFF]
It's a meme on this board, and a long standing one, that whenever a highly anticipated film gets less than universal stellar reactions and/or slightly slightly slightly less than expected reviews, that some here will call the reactions mixed.
Usually posted with this gif:
It's a sarcastic response to folks flipping out over lack of stellar OMG BEST FILM EVAR reviews, as popularized by @aabattery.
Fell out of use slightly thanks to COVID shutting down movies for a while, but I personally blame aa for not posting as much as they should.
But it is in fact a joke. Which we still tend to do around here, even if we aren't quite as anarchistic as we once were in our board's youth.
[DON'T EXPLAIN THE JOKE MODE = ON]
Oh okay. It’s hard to know when someone’s sarcastic or not on here because some on here do believe these things.
