Allison and I went to see Black Panther: Wakanda Forever and it was a really good movie. There was an amazing tribute to Chadwick Boseman who portrayed The Black Panther in many Marvel movies and who passed away from Colon Cancer in 2020. Marvel’s decision to not replace the actor in subsequent movies was the right one. The story of his passing in life and his character’s passing in the movie moved the story along. The movie was very emotional in many parts all the way till the end.
We both commented on the amazing costumes in this movie. It should get an Oscar for that alone. Costuming for everyone involved was incredible. I liked ow the story introduced some new heroes to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. I unfortunately knew about a few things were going to happen in the movie because I had seen a spoiler ridden synopsis about a year ago. All those things did happen in the movie but I still enjoyed it. I loved the introduction of Ironheart. I could care less about the character of Namor. I never liked that character and him being in the movie only served to show more of Mutants in the upcoming Marvel movies, I could give or take this character in the movie. I don’t find this character’s story compelling. I was also very distracted by all the jewelry the character wore including this jade nose thing or the winged feet. Couldn’t take him seriously. Yes, they did a back story as to why he was the way he was and his motivations but I still did not like the character. Never have.
It was a Marvel movie and it was a fun one to see. I enjoyed where many of the characters ended up on the end of the movie and some surprises along the way, too.
