*I enjoyed the second half more than the first, yay! Part of that was me just giving up, in the sort of 'the movie is already so weird, this might as well happen' way. Once I'd decided to watch all of it, there wasn't any reason to continue weighing my experience. I could just cling to any bits of enjoyment and fully embrace them.
*And part of it was that I felt the second half leaned into the cartoonishly villainous aspects of certain characters, which made the head-shakingly inexplicable responses seem more proportionate.
*In conclusion: If I wanted to watch a nearly-three-hour movie about how grief and trauma can make seeking help feel impossible, Black Panther 2 sure would be a good choice, and there's a completely unnecessary car chase thrown in as a bonus.
