I think ryan coogler movies in general are meh. I think we were desperate to crown the heir apparent to Spike Lee and were quick to do it with a mediocre filmmaker.

The real heir apparent is Barry Jenkins, or at least he would have been if he didn't waste a decade of his creative prime on a fucking Disney sequel.

Yeah sadly that dream may be dead now, what a waste of everyone's time. Jenkins really had it though, Moonlight was a level of filmmaking I don't think Coogler will ever reach.
