Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. Went last night with my daughter, home from college. There is an element of tribute to Chadwick Boseman here, and I think that’s fine. The story is mostly pretty decent, although the overselling of technology and “vibranium“ is a bit much. It’s a metal people. The new MIT genius is ok I guess. If any of you remember the old Sub-Mariner (Namor) from the comics, well he makes his arrival in this. They changed his backstory and made him a sort of bad guy. Wakanda is in trouble because it won’t do what he wants and battle ensues. They need a new Black Panther to take on Namor, who will it be. Cinematography is pretty good, CGI and otherwise. I do appreciate the colors in Africa and in this one, in Haiti. Costumes are excellent.
Namor was always sort of the bad guy in the original Fantastic Four comics. He has a thing for Suzie and she liked him too. That set up a romantic triangle between The Submariner, the Invisible Girl and Mr. Fantastic. Great stuff. Namor didn't like the land people because they were screwing up the ocean. Have NOT seen WF, but the original Namor back story always had him as sort of a bad guy, he was definitely a heavy.
