Additional point: while Shuri decided Namor's fate the same way T'challa did M'baku's, she said that vengeance has already consumed 'us', including herself (contrary to T'challa saying that he will not let it consume him) - she is definitely walking a different path than him, yet she is still able to choose not to have that vengeance consume all of Wakanda. Extremely fascinating nuances

The opening scenes conveyed all our feelings when Chadwick passed. Shuri wasn't just trying to save the Black Panther, she conveyed the emotions as someone who was trying to cure cancer. It was stellar acting, and it certainly was a 3 box of Kleenex moment.

So it makes sense it took her a whole year and war to let it go that he wasn't coming back and now she had lost her mother as well which is what get's me at end when Queen Ramonda appears in vision and tells her show her who we are. This is why the MCU needs to really capitalize and make Shuri one of most persevere character in MCU like what sold us on Nebula on last saga.

My favorite aspect of this film is how its narrative challenges each character's worst fear. From Suri's vulnerability as a civilian and grieving sibling, to Okoye's struggle with her survivor's guilt and her revoked position challenging her duty, and Romonda being forced to grapple with her own mortality, each arc is fleshed out while refusing to evade from the necessary challenges of their current circumstances. Truthfully, it was honestly shocking to see how nuianced each arc was, epscially after Thor: Love and Thunder.

There was not a good mix of serious and comedic unlike Ragnarok. Also Gorr wasn’t given enough screen time to connect with him and see him as a threat. He had potential with the start but didn’t build on that

As soon as T’challa and Nakia’s son introduced himself as Prince T’challa, I started bawling, couldn’t stop it, I was full on sobbing in my seat

I love that M’Baku is the only elder that Ramonda actually likes and respects. She does still pull rank on him and get onto him, but she still appreciates and respects the kindness that he and the Jabari showed her and her family when they had little to no reason to. And he stood by her family during Killmonger’s takeover when Okoye and the others initially didn’t. And when he reminds them of how they let him take over, that’s when Ramonda asks him what they should do. And later he’s the only one (with the Jabari) who don’t get skewered by Ramonda during Okoye’s firing.

Angela Bassett killed it but shout out to Letitia for stepping into the lead role and bringing 100% to every scene. Imagine the pressure she was under, especially given the circumstances surrounding Chadwick's death. Amazing film.

This movie was probably one of the most significant for me when I saw it in theatres. Shuri's anger at the world "not working right" and taking her brother hit hard. Her rage was very relatable for me and I loved seeing her arc over the movie of letting go of that rage and embracing peace.

Shuri's suit not only has her brother's silver and Kilmonger's gold, but it also has the white pearls which come from the funeral/grief she has had to go through to wear the suit which is amazing as well as sad. Plus it tell a whole story through it

I cry for Chadwick every time I see him. I feel so cheated as a fan of art. We were robbed of one of the greatest actors of a generation. I understand his family's and friends loss and empathize with them. It's selfish I know, but I cannot help but miss all the beauty that man would have left upon this earth.

“That’s at least $1312 worth of damage!” Hold on I gotta google something real quick *5 seconds later* BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA oh I love you CW, I really do

The humor around Shuri is ALWAYS on point, both black panther films have been hilarious and tied with all the themes in this film it might be my favorite phase four mcu project, top 3 at least

Man this made me emotional all over again. I'd say even more so than watching the movie. I love how you give so much respect and due grave to these works of art. Love this content man.

I saw this movie right after someone really important to me died. This movie actually helped me process some of my own grief, and I’ll always be grateful for that.

To the music, the scores, the acting, the speech scene, the tribute to Chadwick, and how well the whole story and cast went throughout the movie makes this the best movie I’ve seen in a while.

i loved this movie SO MUCH. not just the obvious stuff like soundtrack, visuals, and action scenes, but also it felt so heartfelt and didn’t try to force humor in places where humor wouldn’t work. and shuri’s character arc????? amazing. i would’ve been more upset about ramonda getting killed off if not for the way the movie addressed shuri’s grief so well. it wasn’t shoved to the back burner, we got to SEE her pain and then her start on the road to healing instead of just seeing one crying scene and then fade to black.

As a Chicago born comic fan, I was very happy to see Riri Williams, and the love of her hometown so plainly seen. I think she was damn funny, I look forward to seeing her in the future!

End credits scene 👏👏👏. Was really hoping that they had a kid before he died so that his legacy lives on in his son

it always moved me, how actor Letitia Wright's and the character Shuri's path mirrored each other. Letitia was cast as a supporting character when she was still young and though I, of course, have no clue what the future of her character had been had Chadick Boseman not passed away, I don't think she'd have been expected to step up into the main role of a character which means so much to so many people. thus just like Shuri had to pick up the mantle of the Black Panther and the crown of her country after her father died, after her brother died and finally after her mother died, so did Letitia have to pick up the lead role of this franchise. and she did an excellent job and I do like her version of the Black Panther.

I like how you can switch of and enjoy a movie and not get dragged down with all the little bits

A tiny win, for me at least, when Shuri asks Nakia if her mother met their son, you can go back and see that she did when she went to the school! It’s a sweet detail that makes me teary eyed

Ignoring I’m Mexican, I loved Namor and Talokan, I really hope they appear on other projects. Ps:During the movie, seeing how killing Tenoch performance was, I was scared they would kill him off as they did Killmonger

We will all miss Chadwick very much, R.I.P. Chadwick Boseman, Wakanda Forever 🥺

I loved the first one so much, and I absolutely loved Chadwick Boseman and was heartbroken when he paseed (made all the worse by the fact that my mother and step-father were battling cancer when he passed). I thought that there would be no chance that I would enjoy the second film. Instead, I found it so powerful, respectful, and well done on so many levels. I cried during the funeral for T'Challa, and when the Queen was kiilled (made worse by the loss of my mother not long ago), I started audibly sobbing and pretty much just had tears going through the rest of the film. I felt so deeply for Shuri, and it was so well written. The emotions in this film were so real and moving and not used in the way that so many films do where they use it as a weapon agains the audience. Rather than using the deaths of both Boseman and the characters as ham fisted tools, like so many films do; they depicted grief as a true thing in the many different ways that it affects us all; while giving powerful topics on ethics, racism, politics, etc.; and the gorgeous action scenes were not distracting or detracting from the heavy issues. I liked this film as much as I did the first. I rarely go to the theater anymore, and I was glad that I did. It was so worth the price and effort, even with the terrible chairs at our theater. I was glad I could then watch it again at home so soon after, thanks to streaming.

the power and feelings, and broken heart of queen ramonda when she confronted Okoye, ufff

I cried literally the entire time but despite all that, I loved the movie

My theater was packed on opening night. I have never been around so many people and utter silence that fell upon the crowd when The Marvel logo and Shuri remembering T’Challa at the end was an experience I’ll never forget.

Man T'Challa's funeral scene was heartbreaking. As sad and cruel as it is, the reason why this movie worked so well was because the emotions were REAL. They gave massive respect to Chadwick and I'm really happy. I think he would be too.

This entire movie is amazing. Everything from the major fight scenes to the small details like the fact that Killmongers scars are reflected on the robe he wears.

Simple. I get notifications. I click

I saw this movie for my mom's company holiday party - I had no intention of staying for the movie (I was there to see her receive an award) & I haven't seen the 1st one. I ended up staying & I'm glad I did. I loved the movie! The action scenes were phenomenal! I left the theater feeling pretty great!

M'Baku has always been my favorite. I love that they gave him a chance to show a lot more depth in this movie.

Haven’t even watched it and it is already amazing

Can I just say there's one line that I always found so interesting, the bit where riri says "to be young gifted and black" and then follows up with "but I guess you don't say that over there" is just another subtle bit of characterization because it's such a different experience to be the minority in the country you live in Vs being the same react but not being a minority elsewhere

They mixed a funeral with a superhero film and it was well done. I've hardly seen anything like it. Heck, initially I wasn't interested in the film when it was announced that Tchalla won't be recast. But then I heard that Namor and Ironheart would be introduced in the film. After watching the film, those 2 were the best characters IMO alongside Shuri and Mbaku. Literally every character felt great and they all had their moments that no one else could do. Best product of phase 4 by a mile.

They paid their respects, and that's wonderful, but... it pales in comparison to the first. And I honestly thought how they handled Namor was an interesting concept with bad execution.

Namor punch in the final battle is one of my FAVORITE scenes in ANY MCU movie, just shot so beautiful.

Rewatched this again after watching this video....man...such a wonderfully powerful movie. I 100% agree with N'Jadaka coming back to life in some way aside from this cameo...he has been one of my favorite characters in any MCU movie thus far....there is a Resurrection Altar in the comics that brings him back. Also, 100% agree that M'Baku should get his own movie. Winston Duke is such a fantastic actor and has absolutely killed that part!

Letitia had a fantastic performance in this film.

Very good sequel and Angela deserves the oscar. Nice tribute to The King RIP Chadwick Boseman.

23:39 Like I said: The best thing about Namor: He will do anything to protect his people. The worst thing about Namor: He will do anything to protect his people. And in both cases he does mean anything.

My sister worked in art department for this movie, behind the scenes were really cool. Sadly she signed non disclosure agreement so can't post anything.

Yooo, loved that little wink to "Sin Nombre" As a Mexican, Tenoch as Namor meaning a lot to me, it makes me glad to see him on screen. Lotta love to you and your family, great video, loved it.

I would disagree about Wakanda being a good film. It is a PHENOMENAL film! As someone who comes from a colonized peeople (filipino) and someone who's had to deal with grief (lost a friend), this move does an outstanding job with both. Movie deserves 40 more points 😤❤️😭😭😭😭

My older brother passed away almost 2 years ago. All the memorial scenes in this movie hit me super hard.

Angels Basset is ALWAYS a win! Also, the line from M’Baku “you bald headed demon” was completely improvised by Winston Duke!

I think you felt the same way as I did. I was surprised at myself, as someone who gets emotional in many films, the only part I teared up at was when okoye was punished. I was so invested in her story. Since music really affects me in films, I think it was the music that was off for me this time

13:35 I am absolutely obsessed with Namor’s theme. The whole Black Panther 2 soundtrack is amazing. My favorites are 1. Imperius Rex 2. Namor’s Throne 3. Yibambe! 4. It could have been different Not saying that the last two are bad, they are all just amazing. It sounds so cool, and I always get goosebumps whenever I hear it.

One thing you missed that I found really powerful for some reason was how after the funeral when the queen is at the UN, I though the other representatives were going to say they were sorry for her loss, but instead immediately attacked her. Shows how harsh politicians can be and how quickly she had to move forward from her loss and into her new position

Rereading the "Dedicated to our friend, Chadwick Boseman" made me so emotional

I love both black panther movies and I really want a 3rd movie.

This is my favourite Marvel movie tbh. Using grief as the main theme throughout and having almost every conversation and character interaction be underlaid with it made the storytelling and investment so much stronger than other Marvel movies for me. It had to be an incredible amount of pressure juggling so many goals with one film and needing it to be a proper goodbye and tribute to your friend and colleague, this had every reason to be a sad incoherent mess we would all want to put behind us, but they threw so much effort and heart into it and made a fantastic film. I did cry during the Marvel logo when they showed silent images of Chadwick. I know some people thought Shuri's build made her seem comical as a fighter but like....they have magical metal and spirit visions and she drank a magic flower elixir that creates superhumans, and Atlantis is real. You can't suspend disbelief about a skinny girl being tough? I went to public school, I've seen skinny girls go absolutely feral, they can fight lol. I can't wait to see what Black Panther 3 brings.

The line "i was afraid of how final it would be" always hit me really hard because about 6 months before the movie came out my friend died and i couldnt bring myself to go to the funeral because that would mean accepting their dead and funerals always feel like they take place too soon after

the fact that Killmonger is the one who Shuri sees in this movie plays perfectly with the fact he wanted to be buried in the ocean

Angela Basset should always be a win and is a win after this movie! Gosh she's amazing and I hope she wins the Oscar tomorrow. Also, I loved the Lift me Up song at the end of the movie.

I don’t think we’ve seen the last of Queen Ramona. I heard that Coogler told Angela that Ramona might be brought back or at least make more MCU appearances, since Angela herself was kinda upset at Ramona's death. Maybe as a variant or something.

$1,312 dollars is an amazing and very accurate estimate of those damages!

This is not only one of my favorite Marvel movies, but one of my favorite FILMS, period. It's a character-driven, relationship movie first and an action film second. It feels like every frame was produced with love, thoughtful and care. I can empathize with Ryan Coogler and the cast and crew. They didn't know about Chadwick's illness, and his death caught them by surprise. WF feels like it gives them (and us) a chance to grieve. Having lost members of my family, including a sibling, I understand how Shuri was feeling.

I feel the same as Queen Rimandoa’s death as aunt Mays, in the fact that they could’ve put them in critical condition, and had close to the same emotional effect instead of killing them

I remember when I first watched the final battle on the boat I was thinking “ok so, I want this to never end, this is amazing, buuuut the bad buys have to fight back as well so it will seem like the heroes are gonna loose” and I was just waiting for the TIDES to turn (SEA what I did there?)

Something I really love about this film is the fact that they didn't throw in a cool thing or an introduction to a character for a different film into the end credit scene, they ended it on a beautiful tribute to T'Challa, and I'm so happy they did.

I was a wreck during this movie. I already knew I was going to be sad because Chadwick to this day is the only celebrity I’ve straight up sobbed over hearing of their passing, I can’t even explain why. But on top of that, I’m an adoptee from Colombia and have only in the last several years started learning about its history and the colonization and white supremacy brought by the Spaniards and other Europeans, so it ended up hitting me very hard to see N’amor’s backstory and made me think of what horrors my ancestors also endured. I ended up choking back sobs in the theater multiple times because my heart absolutely ached. Movies that can make me feel to such a deep level are the kind I seek out because I often bottle everything up, and watching such films can trigger the release of all those feelings in a controlled environment for me.

I agree on your first point. I might have shed a tear for other celebrities who passed away, but I can’t explain why I cried for Chadwick/T’Challa. I had tissues on standby and I definitely needed them. On your other points…I’m not in your same real life situation of being adopted or from a country that was colonised (not in the same boat as you), but as much as I’m a hypocrite and liked my country having the empire it did (I’m British and proud 🇬🇧) and for keeping it for as long as we did, I’m sorry your ancestors lived through hell; it wasn’t necessary for the power and wealth that was eventually created. Cooperation and unity (possibly compassion and education too?) should have been the answer or at least a better viewed option. Am I wrong or should I just show myself out and drop dead?🚶‍♀️💨🚪👋

Answer: Rihanna's "Lift Me Up". Point blank period.

Angela Basset’s my favourite to win the Oscar this year. Huge landmark for Marvel movies. If I ever had a KZread channel devoted to MCU content and made a video of my top 50 MCU moments, Romada’s “Have I not given everything?” speech to Okoye would definitely be on that list.

The intro to this movie was the quietest theatre I have ever been in. I heard quit sobbing, but other than that, I was actually afraid to move an inch. So beautiful 😭

When I watched this movie I cried at BOTH funerals. I love Namor so much. Weekly request for Mean Girls. ^^
