There is a Serious Problem in Black Panther and Nobody's Talking About It

There was a SERIOUS flaw in Black Panther, and nobody seems to be talking about it.It bugged me from the second I realized what was happening on screen. I CAN'T STAY SILENT ANYMORE, I MUST BRING IT UP.

You know the car chase scene where Okoye is riding on top of the car wielding a spear like the warrior goddess she is in a magnificent red dress?

WHY WAS THERE NEVER A WIDE SHOT OF HER ON TOP OF THE CAR WITH HER DRESS ETHEREALLY BILLOWING AROUND HER????

I had no idea what to expect when I started reading Dietland. It was in a stack of feminist literature my friend was lending me for some (light) summer reading, including Shrill, Bad Feminist, and All the Single Ladies. This was the only fiction in the pile, and I'd never heard of it, but I thought, what the heck? I'll try it out!

As someone who has mainly been reading sci fi/fantasy fiction lately, Dietland has reminded me how awesome straightforward narrative can be.

Dietland tells the story of a girl (Plum) who is overweight. She hates the word "fat", so I won't use it either. She leads a very quiet life, trying to keep herself as unobtrusive as possible. She has tried various diets her entire life and is finally planning on getting a gastro-bypass surgery. After this, she will be thin and can start to lead a normal life.

Before Plum can get her surgery, however, she meets a group of women who live their lives differently than the rest of us and, as one might …
