These Easter eggs should make it fun for Black Panther fans to enjoy this film at a more advanced level. It’s also rewarding to have watched the first film, as several of the main cast of characters are back, and numerous references to said first film constantly crop up. You’ll know what I mean when you catch this film. If there is something to be said of Namor’s world, it’s how it almost seems that they’re trying to pre-empt the coming release of Avatar: The Way of Water. That Namor’s deep undersea world also has possession of vibranium becomes a central plot device, and it helps push the narrative into uncharted territories of motive and actions that make Namor an anti-hero of sorts. One who could have easily been an ally to the Wakandans. Along with Queen Ramonda (Angela Bassett), mother to T’Challa and Shuri, these two women carry the pivotal roles of the new direction this film takes.Īnd kudos to the character of Namor (Tenoch Huerta), as Namor is a complex arch-villain. ![]() But what Marvel has done is basically to say there is no other T’Challa but Boseman, and they’ve weaved his real life demise into that of the fictional character as well.Īs such, much of the weight of the film’s exposition is now firmly placed on Shuri (Letitia Wright), T’Challa’s younger sister. The untimely death of Boseman could have had the producers looking for a replacement actor to the character, and this has been done time and again with other film franchises. ![]() For the Marvel Cinematic Universe, this is a strong departure and it adds gravitas and weight to the genre. ![]() They’re all there to provide low hanging fruit/rewards for the typical superhero film audience.īut what Wakanda Forever provides is a darkness and gloom brought about by grief that stands out from other like-minded films.
