Yeah, not by much. I think the story is better, better supporting characters across the board. Less restrained. Wynthorpe, Ophelia, Mortimer and Randolph, Clarence Beeks, and even Coleman is strong.

The main chick in Coming to America is pretty weak. John Amos is awesome. The landlord is great. Arsenio is strong, but also overshadowed. James Earl Jones is capable, but his lines are not so great.
All agreed except I think JEJ is better than noted. The lead chick was extremely meh.

Black Panther is outraged after finding plastic straws from McDowell's on Wakanda's beaches. He orders an invasion of Zamunda to stop King Akeem's evil empire.
Move over Infinity War, there's a new highly anticipated crossover on the horizon.

I feel like Coming to America needed Lisa to be more charismatic and funny, and for Daryl to be a more rounded and better person. They don't give enough reasons for Akeem to be enamored with her and she kinda seems like an asshole to have a long term relationship with a guy like Daryl. Just a moment where he is genuinely making her laugh would make them both feel less 2D.

Yes, by a good level for me. I mean I like Coming to America, but seen it a couple times with a few handfuls for Trading Places.

So yeah I haven't forgotten and I do plan to run a tournament in the spirit of some of our great Tournament of Terror brackets, but let's be sure to give Jason, who I guess is both a rat and wants me to do a bunch of work, a round of applause.

I hold everyone to their word. I expect the same out of everybody if I haven't kept mine. Which I haven't in one regard. Still waiting on that thread to get bumped.

You could just be the only rat here, so better just to tell on yourself.
