Wakanda Forever is really the culmination of everything about a storytelling project I could love. Emotion, complexity, thought, reflection, self-grow.
We have the clash between two extraordinary cultures that the moment they dare to venture outside their borders are constantly challenged and pressed, and that costant pression puts them against each other when in reality they are more similar than you could ever think. But the world has dictated they shouldn’t be allowed to thrive, to be themselves, and that puts them even more at odds. Until they start seeing how the things that connect them are more than what separate them.
Every character has its own role and arc, with light and dark at the same time, but there are these two... who are so amazing they aren't just product of their people. They are so different, but so viscerally similar and connected by circumstances and experiences, even if they elaborate them in a very different manner, who might as well be mirrors of each other. The good and the bad. And the way they manage to balance being a beacon of their own cultures and their own characters with all that computes... strenghts and struggles... Wow. It's so well done it’s incredible, breathtaking, ENORMOUS. (Ryan Coogler you fucking genius)
But at the center of everything this is a movie which revolves around grief, about who we are in the end, how everything affects our life and how we grow from and with it. It's a story with a heart so big it trascends.
How. How could I not love everything about this story. How could I not spend every hour, minute, moment of the day to think about it. Relish in it. And talk about it non-stop to everyone willing (and not) to listen.

That's Not My Neighbor Characters in my Style
Floor 2 + 1 Doppelgänger for each of them
Floor 02-01 :
Arnold Schmicht !
I tried okay ? I suck at drawing hats, but I tried something with it nonetheless. Even though it's a bit hard for me to draw hats, I wanted his hat to ... be the center of attention, I guess ? Mostly because his hat is green and I love green not gonna lie...
And even though it doesn't change him that much, I wanted to draw him with that self-made beard. That gave him some sort of Italian vibes and I loved that !
Gloria Schmicht !
I love drawing curly hair but my God it is a pain in the a** ! Also I wish my banker could look like that xD !
Even with those five extra creepy eyes looking at me, she still somewhat looks gorgeous... Do I have a problem ?

Floor 02-02 :
Izaack Gauss !
Of course there is another sexy reporter on the run ! Even though he will never be as handsome as my boy Louis Leroux ♥
BODY HORROR WARNING !
My God this one was tough to do !
And also...
WHY DO EVERY REPORTER HAS TO HAVE A MELTING SKIN SO WE CAN SEE THEIR SKELETON AT SOME POINT ?!
- - - - - -
Floor 02-03 :
Another curly hair woman, and another tough time for me ...
Also I almost forgot to do her deviated left eye
Well, at least her skin is not melting to a point where we see her skull ... Yet...

Floor 02-04 :
Here comes my favorite girl of this Arcade Mode ! ♥ Nacha is such a priceless woman ; she has beautiful heterochrom eyes, beautiful curly hair and cute freckles ♥♥♥
BODY HORROR WARNING !
NO !!!
What have they done to her ?!
Literally ALL of her Doppelgängers are creepy and/or terrifying ! Why Doppelgängers WHY ?!
Anastacha Mikaelys ! Or whatever.
Since it is officially confirmed that she is the daughter of Francis Mosses, and that I imagine Francis with hazel eyes, I wanted her to have Heterochromia as well. So there she is with a blue left eye and a hazel right eye ! Or whatever...
Zipper Head...
That's it or whatever.
It's a simple yet very effective idea in my opinion ☻
