When should something no longer be considered a spoiler? In general use your best judgement. If want something more specific,
- For films, wait until it's been released to streaming for at least a few weeks.
- For TV shows, consider the whole season as a spoiler until the last episode of the season has aired, then wait a few weeks.

For me, the awful fight at the end tanked it for me. Other than that, it was the typical Marvel formula, nothing really remarkable other than being set in Africa.
Spider-Man: No Way Home was a better movie, so was Into The Spider-Verse for that matter.
Oh, shit, Logan doesn't rank?
I think it was notable for being the first instance of Afrofuturism to make it to the American mass market. So much of American media has the average salt of the earth type thinking Africa is made entirely of mud huts that just throwing that out as an option even in fiction can be eye opening.
On the other hand... Yeah Logan and Spiderverse are obviously better.
District 9 and Chappie were both before it.
District 9 was so good too. Chappie less so...
We've been waiting for the "3 Years Later..." sequel now for 16 years now. :(
Know what words mean before you have an opinion on them.

Sure.

It breaks out of the typical Marvel formula, Black Panther doesn't.
Marvel formula:
Main character shares a tragic backstory with the villain who turns into a bigger, badder version of the hero.
Iron Man - Iron Monger
Hulk - Abomination
Iron Man - Whiplash
Thor - Loki
Captain America - Red Skull
Iron Man - Extremis
Thor - Malekith
Captain America - Winter Soldier
Avengers - Ultron
Ant-Man - Yellowjacket
Avengers - Avengers (Civil War)
Doctor Strange - Kaecilius
Star Lord - The Living Planet (his dad!)
Spider-Man - Vulture
Thor - Hela
Black Panther - Killmonger
I mean, you can't exactly fault Marvel for running the formula over and over again when every time they run it, it makes a billion dollars.
But by the time Black Panther came out, you could count on one hand the times they didn't run the formula:
The Avengers
Guardians of the Galaxy
Sons of Wakanda, powered by the Heart Shaped Herb.
All it takes, Killmonger is a dark mirror of T'Challa, same as any of the others listed, from Obidiah Stane onward.
It's not grasping, they have the same power set from the same source.

The choice Peter makes to sacrifice his relationships is unique and works better due to the previous movies. Same with Aunt May dying, it works better when you've gotten to know her.The member berries help though.
