Spoilers abound here in response to your spoiler filled review





Riri couldn’t have been cut. She’s the main source of dramatic tension between Shuri and Namor in the middle of the film. Showing Namor’s homeland was also key to the climax. If Shuri would not have had that beautiful experience there, it would have undercut her final decision in the climax.

Namor is also NOT Killmonger 2. He has a kingdom to rule and protect. Killmonger was consumed with vengeance because his father was killed when he was a child. Namor saw what happened to his mother’s homeland and does not want it to happen to his. He is also a more nuanced antagonist as one can see when he initially hesitated to strike when he first saw Shuri fly into battle against him.

The film excellently built on the ramifications of decisions from each character.

Also I do not think Namor will have a show, I think he will continue to appear on the film side.

Peace,
