#wakanda forever spoilers

[janetsnakehole02]

M’Baku in Wakanda Forever is proof that you can give a Marvel character funny moments while also giving them emotional depth without taking away from the heart of the movie (and actually adding to it)

namor being called “a child without love” by a spanish friar who was cooperating with and supporting conquistador enslavers when namor was literally there because he loved his mom and she loved the surface world and this was her home and they were desecrating it with pure evil.. oh it made me MAD

the rage of princess shuri

very few character arcs have been as substantive and transformative as the arc given to shuri in wakanda forever. and what makes it so powerful is her undeniable rage.

shuri angry. at herself, at the ancestors, at the world. and there’s so much range in her anger. it’s cold and dismissive to her mother’s faith in the spiritual. it’s painful and untethering to herself and her beliefs. it’s hot and all consuming towards namor and the harm he causes.

and then with how mythical and fairytale-esque wakanda forever is in general. shuri plays with the princess archetype and instead almost becomes a vengeful goddess. eternal war was one death away. it just happens that the person she longed to kill was her mirror image.

a black heroine having the space to transform, rebirth by fire and fury, was an experience. i don’t really know how to put it into words.

“Is my mother’s life not worth eternal war?”

that might be one of the most heartbreaking, and relatable lines in the mcu. grief and anger crystallised into one question.

I love Shuri but cannot forgive her for ripping the ankle wings off 😤

Rip to princess shuri but I'm different. If Namor had walked onto my shores, smiled at me like that, and asked me for an alliance, I would have simply married him and ruled the world together. I don't like kids but after he says "I bought the sun to my people" I would have had his water babies right then and there. I don't know how this girl ain't even gonna think about it for a minute smh.

M’Baku’s first scene in the movie was him coming into the throne room while chomping down a carrot, called the general of one of the world’s most lethal armies a “bald headed she demon,” continued to minimize a potential dangerous enemy to Wakanda by calling him a “fish man” and I support him for doing all that. What a vegetarian icon, truly✨

I'm so proud of Shuri 🥹

[watchingwisteria]

i love when stories incorporate a variety of religions and religious expressions into the mix & wakanda forever opened with shuri saying “bast if you let me save my brother i will never doubt you again,” showed namor being cursed by a spanish friar as a “child without love” when he was there to bury his mother out of love for her and her love for the surface world, let both shuri and namor’s grief and vengeance blind them to the everlasting presence of their mothers in their lives… and i really LOVED that seeing their mothers in what could have been their last moments doesn’t shift their entire worldview, just tells them that the people we loved never truly leave us, and that there are more important things than getting even, and sometimes it’s possible to know and be known by person so well that they live on inside us whether we like it or understand it or not

Shuri & Killmonger both surrounded by fire symbolizing their consuming need for vengeance in the ancestral plane.
