    After getting a chance to re-watch Captain America: Civil War( which I actually ended up disliking even more for the really dumb narratives)

You've got to give it to Zemo's plotline. Just an ordinary guy, barring recon training, - no superpowers, no supertech, no magic - beating the Avengers for a very personal reason that I could, for once, relate to. The rest of the story may not be so solid, but Zemo is the best villain MCU has produced yet due to his sheer relatability.

I will give you that. His plotline, and Black Panthers are both really well done because they are really isolated from the rest of what is going on in the movie in my eyes. Their motivations, and reason are clear cut, and something we can all relate to.

If you mean that they're solid plotlines on their own, I agree with you. Either of those alone would make for a pretty interesting film. It slipped my mind that Black Panther is a good character because all I can remember is the magnificence of personality that Zemo as a character is.

As a linguist, I liked that T'Challa and his people spoke Xhosa, as opposed to a constructed language. It really made Wakanda and its people click for me.
