Rewatching Black Panther. The music is sooo good https://t.co/guAz9dP7Fr
1 hr 40 mins in, itās clear that Okoye, Nakia and Shuri are all in their own ways actually more qualified to lead than TāChalla. Like what does our boy actually have going for him apart from protagonist powers...? Nakia is more thoughtful, Shuri smarter, Okoye a better warrior https://t.co/YKs7dmLetA
Erik being sent back to his fatherās apartment in Oakland was a particularly inspired move; him crying with his dad was an important scene. his reaction though - deciding to burn all the herb - is the classic weakness of scared tyrant boys who think feelings are to be feared https://t.co/reeuB2e1tZ
TāChallaās big insight - that Wakanda shouldnāt close itself off from the rest of the world - is one that Nakia had from the very beginning. So in a way, the whole film is about him learning, through bloodshed and violence, what he couldve learned just by listening to her https://t.co/AdCDJLdXGT
its very sad to see TāChalla and the Dora Milaje fighting WāKabi and the border tribe. As Ross pointed out, this is an intended outcome of the CIA regime-destabilization playbook that Killmonger picked up. This is still the legacy of colonalism and superpower-meddling today š https://t.co/9kGHIF0rWv
anyway, what a great film. decades from now i wouldnt be surprised if it turns out to have had more lasting cultural impact and influence than Infinity War. and it all began with Iron Man! iām just trying to imagine now what if the whole thing was told from Nakiaās or Okoyeās POV https://t.co/GrzlkbaOXZ
one of the coolest and funnest car chase scenes ever https://t.co/cSFbBL64mH
the casino fight was also pretty masterfully done. pay attention to the camera work! the wig, the shoe, camera goes up, the spear, the drop, the one-take, the jump, the turn, the shot. thoughtfully planned and executed ā you feel the chaos but also that there's an order to it https://t.co/Rbf8JlCxVZ
