Molweni (Howdy), y'all.
Right, so let's get this little segment off my chest, cuz we all know some idiot or group of idiots are gonna say something similar to this. I think I'm calling this a sorta skepticism in anticipation of someone saying something stupid that makes my eyes roll. Something that Geeks+Gamers will probably say is a 'bait and switch' thing, unironically butchering it's meaning and overusing it. Something like:
"BLACK PANTHER 2 IS NOTHING BUT 'WOKE', CAPITALIZING ON CHADWICK BOSEMAN'S DEATH JUST TO PUT WHAMEN OF COLOR IN HIGHER POSITIONS FOR THEIR AGENDAS, WHICH THE FIRST BLACK PANTHER WAS ALREADY WOKE JUST FOR HAVING A MOSTLY BLACK CAST! WOKE WOKE WOKE WOKE WOKE!"
C'mon, we all know somebody is gonna say something similar to this.
On that note, Chadwick, my king, your legacy lives on, bro. I ain't gonna lie, for any emotional peeps out there, you may shed some tears in the beginning. My dad saw this yesterday, and I know he was sheddin' tears. I almost did, and I never cry during 'Titanic'. It's heartbreaking and heartwarming how they did this throughout. And it shows the actions-having-consequences causality effects throughout this movie.
I really liked how each character's arcs evolve and change, especially Shuri, and how she takes up the mantle. That said, there was this thing some weeks prior to release that speculate Shuri not becoming the new Black Panther. Uuumm... what? Why would you think...? Why did you ever think Shuri wasn't gonna become the new Black Panther. Happened in the comics. Hell, I knew Shuri was gonna take up the mantle at some point.... that was when I thought they were gonna make a 3-movie ditty with Chadwick... but still!
My dad's a big Namor fan, and boy howdy, Namor was a beast in this movie. They changed up his origins, and honestly, I'm glad for it. Much as I like Atlantis, it's been done to death. And Aquaman suits Atlantis more. Wings on the ankles tho... man that's gotta feel weird.
I really liked Riri Williams in this, and I can't wait to see her in Ironheart comin' to Disney+. I really wanna see how they make her gold, black and fuchsia suit. And of course, the same idiots will complain about her being a 'Mary Sue' just for being a rather brilliant inventor, and will jizz themselves if it were a dude. But that's neither here nor there. ^^
I FRIGGIN' LOVE THE MIDNIGHT ANGEL SUITS!!! Man, I can't to get this movie's art book! ^^
So yeah, this movie is definitely emotional, and will most definitely hit you right in the feels. So yeah, your mileage may vary, but go check this movie out. ^^
Thanks for your time. ^^
