Overall I felt that was very good. The story was solid, as was the animation. You could benefit from a little easing in and out.

My main issues with it are my usual with your films, your sound design is quite lacking, and a few moments would've benefited greatly from some music. Otherwise, I found it to be a very enjoyable watch and a great addition to the MBU.

Stay awesome.

Interesting as always!
One issue I found is the high amount of exposition/backstory that isn't balanced by much action or current story.
It seemed that the story got paused a few too many times to explain about ancestors and vibranium and things that were important, and lead to a greater appreciation for the characters and world, but it drew too much focus from the point of the story.

Remember that viewers should never loose track of the main point of the story. In this case, the Gold Vibranium. The flashbacks and backstory helped to support the plot, but they seemed to eat up too much of the screentime, and didn't leave much for what was marketed as the main premise. It also seemed that the story just got going before it ended, a side-effect of the flashbacks backstory taking so much of the script.

As has been pointed out, some of the dialog animation could have been smoother, but the combat animation has come a long way and looks great. The sound design comes off a bit weak, with the whip-like swish being overused pretty badly, a whole jungle's worth of ambient noises being forgotten, and music that comes and goes. I know how hard it is to find good sounds, and how long it takes to work with a film's audio, but viewers can tell the difference between a good sound design, and a great one.

The character designs are great as usual, and you did a fantastic job making the jungle feel thick and dense. The palace set looks clean and rich, and the plants help remind viewers of the jungle surroundings. Like the above post, I have to say the special effects were great. You've gotten pretty good with that greenscreen work, and the other effects were integrated well with the physical elements.

Thanks for the comments guys!

It's kind of funny how most of my favourite Marvel characters (Doctor Strange, Black Panther, Namor and so on) are the ones who normally get the least attention. I'm hoping the MBU will give me the chance to explore them more. Strange and Panther will appear again hopefully this year. Part of me wants to do this origin story animation as a brickfilm, though I'd want to put a new spin on it, so that I don't end up doing a shot-for-shot remake.

There's certainly a strong possibility of that happening not sure exactly how, though I have a story in mind and I've done quite a bit of writing.

I'm not sure what you mean by flashbacks, as there are none, but I understand totally about the exposition. This originally started as a much longer brickfilm which I had a ton of ideas for, and the stuff at the Panther shrine was something I fell in love with more than parts of the story. I didn't realise the negative effect that had until you pointed it out, though, and it's definitely noted for future brickfilms. A lot of the stuff surrounding the gold vibranium is setup for a future brickfilm, and again I hadn't realised until now that in this brickfilm it became a MacGuffin in the worst possible way.

One thing I'm glad I cut from the script was the Gorilla Guardian. That would've wrecked it fo sho.

Definitely the main thing I need to work on, and you're not the only person to say that either. I'm really badly organised when it comes to my process of sound editing.

Treat me like a beginner: what are your tips? I honestly need to come at this from a different perspective as, aside from my level of light flicker, is the main area that still really bugs me.
