BLACK PANTHER: WAKANDA FOREVER (2022) | FIRST TIME WATCHING | MOVIE REACTION

I met Chadwick at Disneyland a month before the premiere of the first Black Panther. He was shocked I knew who he was. He's was so humble. He was more excited about me greeting him. I'm certain he's in a better place

I love that Shuri scoffed at Ramonda earlier in the movie when she described the breeze feeling like T'Challa's hand was on her shoulder and that "he was there". In the end when Shuri is smiling and reminiscing of her brother, you can see the palm trees blowing in the wind as well as her hair being moved by it. Just a beautiful shot, and a full circle moment to bring it all together.

In the comics, T'Chala found that he couldn't balance being King of Wakanda as well as the Black Panther. He ultimately decided to focus on the throne while passing the mantle of Black Panther to Shuri. Since that arc was no longer possible, it makes sense that M'Baku would take the throne in place of T'Chala

Just an FYI for those who may not know, Kukulkan is the Mayan version of Quetzalcoatl, the feathered serpent in Aztec and Mayan lore.

Shuri decided not to be Queen & instead allow Mbaku to be the public face of Wakanda as King, while she protects Wakanda's interests as Black Panther. Oh & Namor's motivations at the end were totally meant to be ambiguous, your confusion is 100% intentional on the part of the writers.

There was in fact a deleted scene where Queen Ramonda met little T'Challa. However, after Angela Bassett and the crew filmed the scene, they decided against it in the final cut for obvious reasons. It was a heartwarming scene between the Queen meeting her grandson but they saved the reveal for the end of the movie. If you go back actually to when Ramonda went to see Nakia, little T'Challa was one of the boys who briefly greeted her.

I thought "This movie is about all the ways that grief hits people." Then I thought a little more and realized, "So was the first Black Panther movie."

I will never forget Opening Night of "Black Panther: Wakanda Forever" during the Marvel Studios Intro, I could just hear, sniffling and crying. Rest In Peace Chadwick Boseman. 💙🙏🏼

They actually hint at the underwater existence in Endgame when Okoye is giving a hologram report to Black Widow about a disturbance in the ocean.

What I liked about this movie is it didn't feel like a superhero movie, it was about people dealing with grief, and people dealing with power struggles. The superhero aspects could just be metaphors for real world geo-politics.
