About this movie

After the death of his father, the king of Wakanda, young T'Challa returns home to the isolated high-tech African nation to succeed to the throne and take his rightful place as king. But when a powerful enemy reappears, T'Challa's mettle as king – and Black Panther – is tested when he's drawn into a formidable conflict that puts the fate of Wakanda and the entire world at risk. Faced with treachery and danger, he must release the full power of Black Panther to defeat his foes and secure the safety of his people and their way of life.

My thoughts at very bottom. I don't know how many people know that much of history and technology, however this movie has it wrong, badly. A country like this would never exist by being isolated (just look at tribes and other groups like that and you will see) they don't have almost any technology all they have are bows and tents. Now think how the heck does Wakanda get all the technology how have they even kept themselves hidden that would be almost impossible to stay hidden like that unless you live underground and use no technology(electrical), radio waves and other things like that are gonna get detected trust me. where do they grow there food is there even enough to feed anyone, the answer for that is that they would have to trade if they are a city state growing food in such a limited area they wouldn't be able to feed anyone. This goes against the fact they are trying to be separated from the rest of the world. While only a city state is small it would HAVE TO TRADE in order to survive for resources that they can't get where they are at. NOW THIS PART IS THE PART EVERONE FORGETS IN HISTORY. BEING A HISTORY TEACHER I'VE SEEN THIS TOO MUCH. during the Americas (making of America) there was a three way trade between the British, African Tribes, and the Americas. The British had know about Africa's tribal wars at the time and basically said "hey the slaves that you capture in battle we will trade with for guns. every slave would = 1 musket(technology Africa didn't have at the time) and around 10 pellets and gunpowder. This is what drove all the tribes to trade the slaves they captured for muskets for the tribal wars this in turn what made them slaves but remember they were not smuggled (unless it was from pirates and usually high up class A dirt bags) Well that's all the lessons I'm given today time for the movie review. -It didn't have terrible jokes just I never laughed at em either. -The white ppl where the racists in this movie(very biased, I would like to see a all white cast now make a movie and have the blacks robbing and shooting everyone. Stereotypes don't you just love em XD JK THOUGH IF YOU TAKE IT SERIOUS THEN OK, I KNOW YOUR A LEFTIST XD.) -they could have done much better on the special effects and on graphics if they we're going for an HD. Also it wasn't a all black crew from what I know there was two Jews I heard that funded the Movie.

On the aftermath in Captain America: Civil War, brings the continuing story following the death of T'Challa's father, T'Chaka. T'Challa who is known as the Black Panther comes back to his African nation of Wakanda to assume the throne as king. Black Panther goes up against Erik Stevens / Killmonger really known as N'Jadaka, T'Challa's cousin to only seeking to overthrow taking over Wakanda and its vibranium Wakandan technology. Black Panther is an awesome film so inspirational to have an incredible actor Chadwick Boseman to play the character he's the best as one of the greatest African Americans of all time it's sad Mr. Boseman died in 2020 only at the age of 43. Chadwick Boseman acted as other characters before Black Panther, Nathaniel "Nate" Ray on Lincoln Heights, Jackie Robinson on 42, James Brown on Get on Up, and Thurgood Marshall on Marshall I love the movie so much even my family, my friends, and everyone especially mostly black people all around having to see a black superhero to look up to be a difference representing more African American culture. Black Panther is one of my favorite black superheroes alongside Virgil Hawkins / Static, Jefferson Pierce / Black Lightning, Mari McCabe / Vixen, Victor Stone / Cyborg, Miles Morales /Spider-Man, and John Henry Irons / Steel.

To try to wrap your mind around this unapologetic afro futuristic film is far too layered for most to appreciate. There is so much going in this movie to be intrigued by. Wakanda is a place unaffected by colonization and its people...to understand what this means is to understand the power and potential of what could be for people of African decent. It's a freeing experiance mentally and the closest many black people have been to an Africa that wasn't manipulated by the media to look less than or more inferior than. I can't even wrap my mind around a negative review of this film...EVERY black (and non black person (in that order)) person should see this movie and consider what the various conversations this film presents. What Marvel is good at is weaving in real social commentary into its films while they entertain you but Black Panther is like nothing we have seen before, its dreaming out loud for many in the black community who were made to be ashamed of where we are from...the motherlands of motherland...Africa. Watch it with many eyes, this movie is more than a movie Ryan Coogler is a legend in the making. Salute to all who had a hand in the making of this film...its a movie that will stand the test of time.
