At the end of the original “Panther,” King T’Challa (Chadwick Boseman) revealed to the world that Wakanda, considered by many a developing nation, was the most technologically advanced country on the planet. But in the sequel, T’Challa’s sister Shuri (Letitia Wright), Dora Milaje leader Okoye (Danai Gurira) and others are mourning the loss of their king when Namor decides to invade Wakanda, as the Black Panther is no longer there to protect them.

“Wakanda has the privilege in some ways of opening themselves up to the surface world in the present day because they've amassed so much power over time,” says producer Nate Moore. The first “Black Panther” focused on the importance of the personalities around T’Challa, and “Wakanda Forever” does the same thing with Namor by introducing Namora (Mabel Cadena) and Attuma (Alex Livinalli) as his trusted advisers.

  1. You may have won the Battle but you’ve already lost the war! God save the King! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧💂

  2. Imagine this, you moved to a new town you rented this room at a rooming house and the manager at the house says a very strange thing… “You seem to be a man of conscience and we don’t get many people like this moving in anymore”. Believing everybody has a conscience you don’t take it very serious until later you find out you just moved into a crack house and one of your roommates is the neighborhood bully threatening people with physical violence on a daily basis. The reason this is important today is because there is so much of it going on. To be a person of conscience moving into a house where the people living there don’t know or care about doing the right thing is like moving into hell. Today a person can be hated by total strangers simply for voting the wrong way. If the government allows people of prejudice to run government housing it can be very serious indeed (Being canceled culture can be deadly). I recently saw this video of an old disabled woman who died under a bridge after being kicked out of her government housing for smoking in her apartment. Moving into hell where the people around you do not have to care about doing the right thing is very serious. Today children in school are learning how to kill without touching someone it is called (bullying into suicide). Sending consciousness into a living hell should not be something governments take pride in standing on their bully pulpit. Killing people is against the law but killing God is not. It is sad that people who have killed Self-evidence out of themselves can get jobs in the government protecting inalienable rights. People times have changed and we all have to admit this as sad and depressing as that is!

    PS. Being forced to live in a man-made hell you can still die out of it in Bible Belt Hell you may not be able to. As much as legalizing suicide makes sense today it still will not look good on a capitalist record that allows avarice (extreme greed) to rule the day.… You may ask yourself how many homeless are in the US today?
    In the United States, there are over half a million people experiencing homelessness. These individuals live in a temporary shelter or transitional housing or sleep in a place not meant for habitation (like an abandoned building). The richest person in America today has $241 billion to his name and can send people to outerspace. (Elon Musk (American citizen), the co-founder and CEO of Tesla, is the richest person in the world with a net worth of $241 billion.
    Behind Musk is the founder of Amazon, Jeff Bezos, with an estimated net worth of $151 billion.) Elon Musk’s Famous factory made $50,000 Tiny Home is another business he owns that allows him to live on Billionaires Row in New York City if he chooses to (Billionaires’ Row is a set of ultra-luxury residential skyscrapers, constructed or in development, that are arrayed roughly along the southern end of Central Park in Manhattan, New York City. Several of these buildings are in the supertall category, taller than 1,000 feet (300 m), and are among the tallest buildings in the world. Since most of these pencil towers are on 57th Street, the term has been used to refer to the street itself as well)..… Elon Musk can end homelessness in America… 50,000×500,000 = 25 billion and Elon musk would still have 190 billion to his name. Jeff Bezos would still have 100 billion to his name if he chose to end homelessness. To keep American culture thriving we have to legalize suicide or we will continue to send people to Hell through homelessness. All life as we know it in this universe will come to an end (nuclear holocaust) because one or more people choose not to do the right thing is very very very sad indeed! Living in crack houses where people can choose drugs and the fantasy of death over life itself should not be the meaning America leaves behind in its nuclear extinction.… Rich bullies should not be made into presidents.… The nuclear clock is ticking.

    Afterthought… To create a minimal standard of living all America has to do is give homeless people protection under the Constitution. It should be a human right that everyone can sleep and use the bathroom without going to prison. Tennessee has just passed a law that makes homeless camping a felony (imprisonment for six years). To the human race I say… We’ve got to be able to do better than this or drop the bomb and end it all… Not everybody can win a lottery ticket!!!

  3. and not a single mention on how they were selling their own people into slavery or buying their own slaves from other tribes.
