Official MCU Black Panther 2 Thread

Wait...

Spoiler

So, T'Challa impregnated Nakia, they both "agreed" not to raised the child in Wakanda because of the pressures of the throne and he set her up, with the kid, in Haiti thousands of miles away?

That's Killmonger's origin

The more I hear about the movie, the harder it is to dedicate 3 hours to it

Spoiler

T'Challa is a scholar first. He knows his history. All throughout history, children in similar situations have been eliminated. A 5-6 year prince/king to be in charge of a country with a rare resource that had just disclosed their existence to the world means having a target on his back. Also, nation-state destabilization often begins with death and assassination. T'Challa never had to grow up like that, so why would he put his kid in that situation? It makes perfect sense. I love too that Haiti is a site of Black liberation and that his son's Haitian name is the father of the Haitian revolution that pushed out the colonizers. I love too, that he won't grow up around wealth. That he's going to have an intimate understanding of poverty and struggle. Nakia's passion for outreach and compassion is being nurtured in him by living outside of the throne's eye. It's fitting and I really thought it was brilliant to put them there.

You getting tossed up Weinstein style by marvel execs now?

Because a Disney exec couldn’t possibly be a woman

Here's a tribute that Chadwick to Stan Lee, he says regardless of what you going through, they need to keep these characters going. He even mentioned cancer as something a person may battle for in life.



Chadwick has said in many interviews about the importance of the character and how hard it is to be a black actor in Hollywood.

The fan fic in this thread is turrible...

I have a weird question. Growing up, i was one of the few in my area that was reading some Namor based comics and because of that, I never knew how his name was pronounced. But I always thought it was more than likely NA-mor. With emphasis on the first syllable.

Was i wrong or did they change the pronunciation in this movie to give the name a Latin American feel?

From the end of the movie, it looks like he's about to be king of Wakanda.

Yeah some article on Entertainment Weekly mentioned that. That Shuri will be chief scientist and Black Panther and M'Baku will be the king.

 

[Apollo Creed]

Not really. Killmonger's dad kept him away from Wakanda because he feared that with his mom being American they wouldn't accept him. T'Challa's logic was to keep his son away from Wakanda so that he could grow up in an environment where he's seen as a regular kid and not the heir to the throne

Spoiler

pretty idiotic when you think of the state of Haiti though. We gotta ignore logic for the sake of the symbolic history Haiti has

If this is Coogler’s last BP movie, I’m not give him that much flack for the bloated length. I take it as him putting in everything he wanted before he leaves the franchise directing wise.

 

[Burned Verses]

Negroes putting out their whole neck for a live action cartoon made by a billion dollar company, this shyt is really weird man.

 

[LordDeathwatch]

Sounds like Wakanda is taking mad L's

That old "Black people must forgive their enemies" trope. Wakandans are not built like that at all in the comics. Hell even in BP 1, T'Challa was about to murk Klaw on the spot but only stopped when Okoye told him a crowd was watching and filming him.

So they don't get down like that in the comics?

Then why did T'Challa advocate for peace with Atlantis AFTER Namor flooded Wakanda and killed countless people? The only reason it didn't work is because Shuri was on the throne and said "Nah fukk all that."

I believe the rules are for movies we still use spoiler tags for opening week, but after that it's free game. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong

Opening weekend ain’t even finish yet.

Word of mouth is a thing. People who haven’t watched yet are going to come in and peep whether a watch is worth the investment.

I was one of the people that felt that they should have recast or went with Killmonger. And their scene in the ancestral plane kinda makes me at what could’ve been. Their relationship would’ve been great storytelling having her have to be ruler and him becoming the protector to atone for his actions. It could’ve worked. I mean, it doesn’t make sense to have Namor kill her mother and she lets him live but Killmonger is an opp forever that can never be forgiven. Like, come on breh.

But I’m off my soapbox. No more bytching and complaining.

Ok. One more complaint. Riri needs to get a better suit because it was corny looking. Ok, that’s it.

They surprised the hell out of me. This was really good. Its was a worthy successor to the first movie. I ended up buying multiple tickets to support. I teared up a few times, especially during Ramona’s funeral and T’Challa’s earlier on. I kinda hate that these are only movies. I could watch stuff set in Wakanda forever I kinda wish there was a Game of Thrones style television show where we got 10 episodes because one movie is not enough

Nakia is bad as fukk. My god, that’s a beautiful woman

Shuri looked every bit like royalty when she came down with the fresh braids and the Black Panther suit Was when the elders came around her and embraced her as the new protector. My people I love that even though she’s not as strong as T’Chala, she’s strong in other ways. By realizing that Narmor could be dried out and weakened. Clawed that muthafukka up bad She’ll do fine as BP going forward and I’m actually with it now.

Ramona is probably the best Queen/motherly role shown in Marvel so far. She’s finally reunited with T’Challa and T’Chaka. I love the imagery on their casket also. It reminds me of Egypt/Nubia.

Narmor is a dope villain. Like, I almost didn’t think he was a villain, they just had conflicting interests. I like how he flies, it looks like he stepping in the air. I didn’t realize he was that strong though or a mutant. Like bruh really almost caved in M’Baku’s chest Whoever the chick that was second in command to Narmor…she was with the shyts most definitely

Riri is a cool character. I wonder how they’re going to include her going forward. I hope she keeps rocking with Shuri though. Marvel really shytting on DC at this point. They introducing the next generation of characters, about to have another ten year run

Toussaint is a dope ass name. Trust, a lot of people gonna start naming their kids that. I look forward to Shuri being a mentor and raising him to be the next King. Going to be interesting.

Are you gonna be noble like your brother or handle business like me

 

[O.Red]

M’Baku is Wankanda’s muscle now so he will have a larger role in the Dora Milaje movie

Y'all never learn this is the Finn shyt all over again

Initially it was "Marvel is giving Winston Duke a pay raise because M'Baku is going to be prominently featured in Wakanda forever" then you find out that shyt was a lie based on his performance and him being the comic relief big burly useless nikka

Then it's "well you gotta wait for the next movie. These things take time"

Riiiiiiight
