The Invader Scene

Holy cow, I loved this scene, the action was great and believable. I really can believe this sonic thing that is happening.. not sure how to explain it exactly - but the movie does it well!

Namor just comes up out of the water.. "the fishman"!

M'Baku

Oh so good, always funny, really didn't get much screen time in this movie. But well worth every time he was on screen. "I'm here because I promised your brother that I would provide you with council and protection". SO GOOD.

Winston Duke as M'Baku

Namor

It just seems he can't die (as I'm writing this I'm only 93 minutes in). "Bury your dead, mourn your losses, you are queen now." POWERFUL...

Namor in Full Garb

The Queen - Ramonda

This movie is just plain extraordinary. The Queen was an absolute powerhouse when it comes to acting and this story. Just incredible. Her death hit hard.

Angela Bassett as Queen Ramonda

The Queen - Shuri

"my heart was buried with her...." SO GOOD. "The Black Panther has never failed Wakanda". Boy I'm about to cry right now, this is so so good. "I built you a new spear", these lines are superb. "And what I want is Namor DEAD, and you're going to help me".

Letitia Wright

"I think you're going to need a suit"

THE BLACK PANTHER. SO MUCH POWER WOW WOW WOW. So GOOD! "She has done it; The Black Panther LIVES!" The same line that T'Challa said too.. here we go again *crying*. "NO, I am the Black Panther and I am here for Retribution". "WAKANDA FOREVER".

"The Scientist" - Riri

She was fun. "For the queen", nice. Really digging the Iron Man Suits, although we might need to come up with a new name.. maybe.

Dominique Thorne as Riri

MCU

Also, I'd say this movie has parts of all the MCU movies put together - what do I mean by that?

Wakanda Forever in the MCU

So, this story is a completely seperate story from all other MCU movies because it has no cameos and such; but this has a lot of real Iron Man 1 vibes - I mean we even have an Iron Man suit! And.. the T'Challa wall was a direct copy of Tony's death mural - okay before I found the picture of the Iron Man death mural, I thought it was of actually Tony.. the MANDELA EFFECT!

Shuri's AI.. I have always wanted my own personal AI that I developed, I don't know that I ever will, but I want to!

Aspect Ratios

I wonder why the decision was made to shoot the two scenes - at least in timeline order going back and forth, being two different aspect ratios? Obviously the wider aspect ratio is more heroic for Namor and Shuri, but it is a bit jaring going back and forth so quickly; maybe that's just me. This does not take away from the movie in any capacity!

T'Challa's Sendoff

Well get the tissues ready.. absolute perfection. Silence as we see Chadwick.. just perfect.

I cannot.. tears.
