The way Ryan is talking about Chadwick in this podcast!!!! 😭😭😭 also the way he describes Chadwick's relationship with Letitia??!!!! I'm breaking down.

FRIENDS AND FAMILY TENOCH HAS A PODCAST

[laninasinamor]

listened to Ep. 1 & 2 of the Official Wakanda Podcast, such wonderful insight from director Ryan Coogler 🥲 when he talked about Chadwick’s passing and he paused for a long time cuz he was trying to pull himself together (i almost cried while i was at work listening 🙃)

but the part where Ryan explains the original script before the tragedy where the story would center t’challa and toussaint’s father/son bond 🥰 wouldve been so cute.

ok but the real tea was that Ryan planned to have Namor kidnap Shuri and still show her Talokan! 💅💅 imagine it really being like beauty & the beast with that version of the script.

Good interviews with Danai Gurira and Tenoch Huerta (in the middle of the podcast). I was interested in Teonch speaking about how they had to translate "Imperius Rex" into Yucatec May and how the Mayans had a different view of what an empire was.

(I'd actually be interested in knowing what the literal translation is of the words they used in the film.)

ON THIS DAY: WE HONORED A KING

On this day (3 Years ago),

One of the most amazing opportunities I was able to be a part of thanks to two wonderful people.

Getting to do an ACMG tribute to the late great Chadwick Boseman was nothing short of surreal all thanks to my dear friend and ACMG member Tasha and her husband Langdon.

This brought light to one of the darkest moments in our lives.

I can never thank them enough for reminding me that the walk in my road is not wasted.

I am forever grateful.

Love you both for that.

Apparently some people had doubts about whether Letitia Wright could carry her own Black Panther  movie? Well, she didn’t need to with a cast this talented, but in any case she KILLED IT! Somebody get the awards ready for her!

Marvel Studios Assembled & Wakanda Forever Podcast: Namor/Shuri + Tenoch/Letitia Moments

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Marvel Studios Assembled: The Making of Wakanda Forever [available on Disney +] [w/ time stamps to follow along]

▻ The whole cast comforted and gave Letitia a group hug at San Diego Comic Con as she broke down [Tenoch kissed her shoulder] [0:27]

▻ “We know what Black Panther is but what makes it a Black Panther movie? If we were to do another one….how would audiences recognize it?” - Ryan Coogler [Director] [5:44]

▻ We learn that Namor’s character was discussed to be in Black Panther 2 while the first movie was being written. “In the comics, the two worlds have a great rivalry” - Joe Robert Cole [Screenwriter] [13:25]

▻ Ryan was interested in Meso-American culture for the Talokanil and “…upon research it became more clear that the people of the Yucatán made a ton of sense.” - Ryan Coogler [Director] [14:40] They wanted to give Namor a culture/background different from the comic book version [a white man]. “Their [Mayan] artwork and their advanced agriculture…all of these things that they accomplished, it was a perfect palette for us to delve into.” - Joe Robert Cole [Screenwriter] [16:40]

▻ Namor’s costumes and headpieces are curated from post Yucatec Mayan culture roots. “We used a lot of kelp and things to make the headdress and hand wove his cape, but we kept it pure to what he looked like in the comics.” - Ruth Carter [Costume Designer] [17:50]

▻ Ryan and Hannah Beachler [Production Designer] show us the set of Namor’s cave and explain the time/labor that went into creating this elaborate set. Ryan points to the mural painting of Namor and the Black Panthers fight. “This one’s my favorite one” - Ryan Coogler [Director] [22:25] We learn that the style of art is “Bonampak”

▻ Letitia had to learn how to swim for her role, along with the majority of the cast. “I struggled with it. Ryan called me and he was like ‘Tish, can you swim?’ I was like ‘Sir, sir, I’m in the lab. What more do you need from me coming out of that lab?” - Letitia Wright [Shuri] [26:06]

▻ All of the water scenes were half filmed under water, called “wet for wet”, and filmed outside of the water, called “dry for wet” scenes. The exosuits [Shuri is shown wearing one when exploring Talokan] were real suits that were also filmed underwater and were about a million and a half dollars each [explained by Chris Denison, Stunt Coordinator] [29:40]

▻ A clip of Letitia Wright’s “Screen Test (2016)” from the first Black Panther is shown [41:54] and we learn that Dominique Thorne [Riri Williams] also auditioned for Shuri’s role a while back

▻ The cast had differing emotions/opinions than Ryan about the decision to kill Queen Ramonda [played by Angela Basset]. “When I read that Ramonda was going to die by the hands of Namor, I was very upset. I think I almost cried on the phone to Ryan.” - Letitia Wright [Shuri] [43:43] Ryan and the writers felt her death would be a big “motivator”/ transformative moment in Shuri’s development and the eventual break down of her character to become the Black Panther [her arc]

▻ Ryan supported and pushed Letitia during the whole process of becoming the Black Panther to do her best work and continuously reminded her of who she was and what she was capable of when stepping into the role. Letitia wished Chad could have passed the torch to her himself to do it [46:02] + [55:03]

▻ [Referring to the making of Shuri’s Black Panther suit] “We were working with the design language of silver being representative of T’Challa, gold being representative of T’Chaka, and the little bit of where Killmonger’s coming from…We’re essentially taking those two elements and combining them.” - Ryan Meinerding [Head of visual development] [46:58]

▻ “Shuri vs Namor. We put alot into that fight.” - Aaron Toney [Fight Coordinator] [49:59] We see that a lot of the BTS of their big fight on the desert were shot with different individual sets with Tenoch, Letitia and stunt actors, separately and together. “I’m so proud of it. Shuri’s looking amazing, Namor’s looking amazing.” - Letitia Wright [Shuri] [50:27] Their fighting styles are explained to be very different, where Shuri is more calculated and Namor is more in his body. “With Namor, when it came to fighting styles, I pulled from….cultural aspects like Lucha Libre…asian cultures…I pulled from a style called Baji.” - Aaron Toney [Fight Coordinator] [50:49]

▻ “Processing in a way of expressing her pain and fury towards Namor, she thinks that’s going to be satisfying to her soul and it’s not….I think that’s a beautiful way to complete that arc, to realize that my brother wouldn’t do this, my mother wouldn’t want this for me….We see Shuri become a woman in her own right.” - Letitia Wright [Shuri] [53:00]

Wakanda Forever: The Official Black Panther Podcast [Hosted by Ta-Nehisi Coates]: Chapter 5 w/ Letitia Wright, Tenoch Huerta, Dr. Gerardo Aldana [available on Spotify]

▻ “What does it mean when Wakanda and Talokan give us a beauty created not to justify enslavement but to celebrate freedom?” - Ta-Nehisi Coates [Host]

▻ Tenoch continues to put the spotlight back on indigenous communities/culture and does not claim to be apart of their experiences. “I don’t practice the culture so it is impossible to name myself indigenous….I’m not pretending to be something that I’m not…I’m just trying to honor my ancestors.” - Tenoch Huerta [Namor]

▻ A fan went to the movies with his Mayan grandma and she began to translate scenes herself while watching the film with him. “The Mayan group in LA said it [the character’s Mayan in the movie] sounds beautiful. You have an accent, it sounds good! They were happy with it.” - Tenoch Huerta [Namor]

▻ “Why are these two groups [Wakandans and the Talokanil] fighting each other? Why can’t they get together and go beat the colonizer?…I am a huge Black Panther fan but I was sitting there and found myself rooting for the Talokanil!” - Ta-Nehisi Coates [Host]

▻ Letitia was bullied in school for her appearance when she was growing up (ex. her size, being African, etc) “I kind of let that go…I talked myself out of the idea that I should be like anyone else.” She found comfort/ amusement in going viral on TikTok. “It’s definitely flattering but I’m really shocked…I’ve never been crushed on before in school…As a black woman, I’m moving into a space where I’m finally being called beautiful but I didn’t wait for them [the media/world] to tell me that at first. I told it to myself.” - Letitia Wright [Shuri]

▻ “This is the highest grossing movie with the lead character as a black woman and it’s you [Letitia]. How does that feel?” - Ta-Nehisi Coates [Host]

▻ “The love that Shuri has for T’challa is the love that Letitia has for Chadwick and that’s intertwined.” Letitia shares her initial hesitancy about doing the film without Chadwick after his passing and taking on the mantle as Black Panther. “I see it as I’m a vessel. I’m a trusted vessel that’s here to honor my brother.” - Letitia Wright [Shuri]

▻ Letitia laughs about fun moments they had on the set of Wakanda Forever. “He [Ryan Coogler] would say Namor and the Black Panther are having a conversation. It’s a big movie. Turn your phones off!” - Letitia Wright [Shuri]

Listen to Wakanda Forever reaction episode available now!

[actuallylorelaigilmore]

so i’ve been fighting off a cold the last few days (mild symptoms, luckily my sore throat only existed the first day) and every time i get sick i forget that migraines can be triggered by illness/infection, yet every time i get sick i have back to back days of migraines. yesterday’s was scary!bad for a minute and i’ve had to go to bed early rather than Do Things the last couple nights. i have a long list of things i want to get done today, starting with the video appt i successfully took care of this morning...so i just need my head to cooperate. 

i’m starting to feel like i have a basic grasp of the crochet techniques i’m working on, which is amazing, i’m deep into the you’re wrong about podcast which has many more episodes for me to hear before i run out (even if the nicole brown simpson murder series is really hard to listen to because it just keeps going and none of it is happy, i can’t wait to be through what feels like their endless coverage of that) and i’m finally rewatching the hsm trilogy. because i’m watching them with @actuallylukedanes, hopefully i’ll actually see the third one this time and get to cross them all off my list. 

i have the music from the wakanda forever trailer permanently stuck in my head and not even rewatching the trailer could get it out of there, so i’m just out here living with the knowledge that my birthday isn’t that far away but it’s simultaneously way too long of a wait. i wish i wanted to see nope because get out was so good (i still haven’t seen us because i’m a horror wimp and even when given the option it just...hasn’t happened) but the whole western/scifi combo has me genre-averse despite everything else it has going for it.
