Sure. Let's go with that. Meanwhile they chose to use his death to boost ticket sales and totally ignored his wishes. He wanted T'Challa to have a lasting legacy like Batman/James Bond. The man said that as he wept. He KNEW he was going to die soon and that was his wish. That his character would continue through other actors.

[@MinecraftWorld1954]

Honestly, I really enjoyed Wakanda Forever, in spite of its flaws. Yes, it is very problematic and yes, it was doing too many things at once, but I feel like it worked out in the end for me. Also, and I really wanna get this off my chest while I’m at it, my favorite thing about Wakanda Forever is how they juxtaposed Shuri’s actions with that of Killmonger’s. They did it via her suit. Her suit was a yellow streaked, more demonic looking design, more reminiscent to that of her cousin rather than her brother, who wore a more grey and purple streaked, much more royal looking suit. They didn’t outright point it out, but instead they did it extremely subtly. I honestly really love that the movie did that.

[@captainjakemerica4579]

Problematic da hell?

[@ephraimbenyamen2428]

I have so many problems of your video but I still find it so engaging

[@kjbeast677]

I definitely agree with u on Riri Williams’ character bringing this movie down a bit and taking away screen time from characters in this movie that really coulda used it. Her character wasn’t AS bad or insufferable as I thought they were going to make her, but I would of much preferred if we saw more of Okoye, who I really felt like got the short end of the stick in this movie. I really would’ve loved to see Okoye go on a redemption arc after she was stripped of her role as general of the Dora Milaje by joining Nakia on her journey to find Shuri, cause her character felt kinda absent during the middle act

[@dimitrescu182]

They really should have cut out or minimize the roles of the American characters and focused instead on the Wakandans like Okoye and M'Baku.

[@thorodinson6625]

Well, Okoye didn't have any weapons on her disposal, so she couldn't really do much.

[@jacindaellison3363]

​@@dimitrescu182so, what came to me concerning Wakanda Forever is definitely cut out Riri Williams but I do think that keeping it mostly focused in Wakanda would be too long given its runtime. They can still have the Americans in it but the movie can have two villains, just like they did in the first Black Panther movie. You have Namor who is pissed off that the Americans are coming to steal his vibranoum and now he wants to go to war with them. Okoye's character can be about her trying to show that she is still loyal to Wakanda even though some people, including Queen Ramonda, are still angry and distrustful of her for siding with Killmonger. Nakia is in Restitution to demand Britain to give back their artifacts, M'Baku can have the same character arc like the way Eric Carter had mentioned. Then you have Everett Ross who is doing his part in helping Wakanda by feeding them info to Wakanda because he was the one who tipped off Okoye that the Americans had sent their people to steal their vibranium. I heard one reviewer point out that Wonder Woman (2017) didn't set up anything, just told its story of her origin and it ran smoothly. Wakanda Forever should've been that. But hey, I still love Wakanda Forever.

[@adamgrunther1367]

I don’t think they’re gonna address T’Challa’s death any further. If they say the next big villain killed them, it may make a lot of people angry. They’re vague about it on purpose. I’m shocked they even said what killed him at all.

[@suzygirl1843]

it would've made me angry. Zemo already killed T'Chaka, the previous King. No need to have Doom kill T'Chala and then continue to be praised in the MCU by Marvel fanboys. That would really piss off the African fans.

How do you give black Adam and black panther WF the same rating

[@detree.]

T'challa was killed do to the sickness of the heart shaped herb because killmonger burned the rest of it. T'challa needs to keep consuming heart shaped herb to take away and bring back the power of the black panther. Killmonger will also die from sickness because he also needs to keep consuming the plant.

[@jacindaellison3363]

Soooo, Killmonger was an idiot for burning the herbs in the first movie.

[@Grandmaster_Dragonborn]

Personally, I believe it was wrong not to recast Chadwick; T'Challa is the star of the franchise, it needs him, and Shuri simply cannot fill that role this early on after such poor development. Side note: Would you ever compare the music of films you review Eric? It's a big part of a film & seeing your take on it would be neat ::D

[@OG.Trippster]

Recasting Chadwick is disrespecting what he did for marvel and the character of the Black Panther. Nobody thinks Shuri can fill that role. That is the point as everyone is dealing with the grief of the film. Shuri herself openly states she won’t be as good as him in the film.

[@kjbeast677]

Recasting him would’ve caused way too much backlash, and I don’t even wanna imagine the amount of online hate the actor who they would’ve chose to recast T’Challa as probably would’ve received

[@gussygamingprofessional6433]

Honestly I can kind of agree with both sides but I personally feel that it would’ve worked better if Chadwick was Recasted because apparently Chadwick’s family more specifically his brother specified that it would’ve been what Chadwick wanted

[@Grandmaster_Dragonborn]

@@OG.Trippster No, in fact I'd argue the opposite; Just letting his character rot & discontinue was more disrespectful to him than recasting him & fulfilling his story.

[@fupalover]

Can your Ri Ri hate get anymore obvious? Marvel comics when they first created the character marketed her and stated that she was smarter than Tony Stark. So why would her suit be unable to fly in space? She's smarter than Tony. This isn't a knock on the movie or character. If that bothers you take it up with marvel comic writers not a movie that is being canon to the comic.

[@saifchoudhury7425]

So happy to see another video

[@alexandrefrauches132]

Personally, I appreciate the fact they to choose to not have T'challa dying typical super hero battle. Not only prevent them from having to recast T'challa for scenes but also gives his supporting cast and us, the audience, a reality shock when comes to the MCU. We're so used to see this heroes as this "god like being living adventures in their fantasy world" that it's easy to forget the human aspect of this characters, what made them so relatable and capable of connecting with us. T'challa death gives a strong message: How death is part of life and can come in any shape or form, even for this heroes who we saw surviving many dangers. Plus,it also justify why Shuri has such hard time dealing with her brother's death, not because only she failed to saved him but also he died from something that Shuri can't just go out and take revenge.

[@aamiraustin5422]

Good video, Eric. I personally loved Black Panther Wakanda Forever but I understand your criticisms and I think the first Black Panther was the better film. Though I didn't find Riri annoying, I thought she was a good character and was a comic relief who knew when to take things seriously not to mention, I believe she had a purpose in the story and I never had a problem with the pacing of the film as I didn't feel its runtime. Black Panther: Wakanda Forever was a great tribute to Chadwick Boseman and was the film I needed after watching She-Hulk: Attorney at Law and it is one of my only favorite films from Phase 4 next to Spider-Man: No Way Home.

[@anoldweirdo7084]

i also was confused on why Namor HAD to start a war against Wakanda if they refused, when i left, i was thinking if i had missed anything but nope, it turns out it's just another cliche villain written wrong and kind of a rip-off of ocean master from Aquaman with a smaller city, less advanced weapons and equipment and no fish control

[@jacindaellison3363]

Haven't seen Wakanda Forever, but I was thinking about Ocean Master from Aquaman in regards to how Namor was being portrayed. Only thing was, Ocean Master NEEDED to form alliances and forced a kingdom to side with him-when he killed a king so his vulnerable daughter, being the new Queen, would have no choice but to join him. And, I felt Killmonger is better when I compared him to Ocean Master, although I like Black Manta more than Klau.

I haven't seen Wakanda Forever so I can't exactly weigh in but I haven't exactly heard a lot of good things about it plot wise and how many characters make insanely dumbass decisions.

I personally loved Wakanda-Forever a lttile bit more than the first ngl. To me, this was the best film in Phase-4 & while I do love No Way Home for its very amazing fanservice & compelling arc for Tom Holland's Peter Parker, BP2 replaces NWH's spot as Number-1 when ranking Phase 4 films in my book. I agree with most of what youve said but at the same time, this film hit me abit more emotionally & was the most poignant big budget action film since......Furious 7 (2015), whichw as also dealt with a heavy hand due to the loss of one of it's lead-actors (Honestly R.I.P to both Paul Walker & Chadwick Boseman as both were not only amazing actors but one of the most amazingly wholesome people in Hollywood in my eyes). Also I have 3 questions regarding your thoughts on this film.

[@reapercussion1149]

This movie was marketed and showcased as an ensemble film for all of wakanda. I do not agree with the focus being primarily on Shuri. Yes, she is T'challa's sister which makes sense, but with a runtime of 162 minutes, I expect the other wakandan characters to have more time to flesh out. This would make the entire film work for me personally but they are simply side characters in a story that revolves around ALL of wakanda. This story would've ultimately worked better without the utilization of Riri Williams. Why was she relevant to the film? It's not like she played any major part other than a utterly pointless setup to her origin story and her upcoming film. This film is about WAKANDA goddamnit, we don't need the focus being taken away from what the story is centered around. I will say that killmonger & Namor's scenes are what saved the film for me. The backstory with Namor and his character is what I think saved this movie from mediocrity. Overall its a step in the right direction for the new MCU, but I think its yet to fully sail. I'd give it a 6.5/10 as at least they were trying something different. Didn't tarnish chadwicks legacy and story, but as a movie in its own right, it could've been so much more better. Disappointing to say the least.

[@suzygirl1843]

Namor and Kilmonger was for the MALE audience since nerds refuse to see women as 3 dimensional people.

[@jacindaellison3363]

I see what you're saying. Even though they needed more time to better flesh out Shuri, she was much better in this movie than the first one, as well as Ramonda, alrhough her stripping Okye of her postion was foolish becasue Okye is her best warrior. I get it, you're grieving at the idea your daughter's in danger but your general is the best person you can have! I still like the movie and agree that Riri shouldn't had been included, along with that new guard and that one who was in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. It was disappointing that Nakia got sidetracked and M'Baku didn't get proper development. Also, I felt Ross was the worst offender. I will defend his place in the first movie: he saved Nakia and risked his neck to help save Wakanda. His placement helped point T'Challa in the right direction in his character arc: Saving someone who is part of one of their enemies but that he technically owes him because he saved Nakia, his ex who he still cared about. But in Wakanda Forever, the movie makes it look like Ross didn't do jack b/c his inky reason for getting involved with helping Shuri and Okey in locating the scientist because the former told him he owed her and T'Challa for saving his life. Ross doesn't owe them anything. When he saved Naki, they owed him. He risked his neck to help save others who would've been killed if they had gotten those weapons sent by Killmonger. If anything, Wakanda is still in debt to him. We don't even get how he feels about T'Challa's death. Namur was good but my thoughts on him are similar to Eric's. I was confused about Namor wanting an alliance with Wakanda as his kingdom is far superior to theirs.

It's ok if people find Riri annoying but you can't go around claiming she's useless.

[@suzygirl1843]

Honestly, that's whole Riri stuff is the comic nerds fault. I don't know anyone who's black that reads comics. There are a few but the main demographic is white men. And since they are the majority and the first ones to access these stories, they pretty much trashed the character of Riri right off the bat. So the Marvel execs probably stated that they needed to make her so essential to the plot, that they can't justify her irrelevance to the Marvel universe. That goes or ALL black female characters. They can't just exist like Mary Jane Watson, they have to be extraordinary. Remember, black women aren't a large comic reading audience, they ONLY catch this on the big screen.

Why else was all the marketing just if you don't watch or like this film, you're a white supremacist and hate black people, while also telling white people to buy tickets for black people to watch films full of racial stereotypes of spear chuckers and characters made by white guys? I watched neither film and that's because I not only don't support Disney who actively supported concentration camps in China, but also had racial pandering in their marketing.

Alright, care to elaborate or are we just going with your personal opinion here?

[@darkroninmarvel]

I wonder who was the id*ot who thought adding Riri was a good idea? Nobody who had critical thinking liked her in the comics

[@jacindaellison3363]

What was wrong with Riri in the comics?

[@darkroninmarvel]

@@jacindaellison3363 well, there was a now infamous scene where she demanded her *kindergarten teacher* to be racist to her; the teacher reluctantly told her, "you will never be Tony Stark," to which the little brat gave a smug "challenge accepted." face. She also shares similar issues as the MCU version

[@jacindaellison3363]

@@darkroninmarvel lol, why did she feel the need to do that?

[@darkroninmarvel]

@@jacindaellison3363 I have no idea. To push a narrative or something? Marvel comics' writing went downhill since 2014

[@michaelfireheart8300]

@@jacindaellison3363 because Riri is an entitled modern day brat, who needs fake oppression to do anything meaningful, especially since she's a black teenage girl in Marvel of all things.

I was not expecting this. 😁

Black panther wakanda forever was sad movie as well

6:42 I think it was mentioned she has prior experience? “I have a KZbin channel dedicated to sightings of me” I know it feels way too thrown together of an excuse to justify her flight skills, but it was something

[@SnowIceBoy]

I really love these videos and all your content

[@178laaleros]

I liked both however i liked the first a bit more but man i wish he never passed the sequel could have much better if the chad was still around. But i guess they did the best they could i guess.

[@Kusanagikaiser999]

To me this was not even close to the first one and neither to No Way Home.....I even liked more Multiverse of Madness. Wakanda Forever didn't win me in trailers and I wait to see it when got out.....piracy way....and......Not was the worse, I give it that....Namor was a downgrade from Killmonger and from HIMSELF from the comics.....the less we speak about Riri the better.....and no matter what, I firmly believe they choose the wrong path, they should have recast T'Challa....not kill him with his actor, now watching back all his appearance......King T'Challa, Black Panther, was just a pawn in the MCU....with the exception of Civil Wars, he was just a secondary player even in his own movie....he was barely in Infinity War, barely in Endgame, was not that interesting in his own film and was dead in the second (again) but definitive. This is how T´Challa, the most IMPORTANT Black Super Hero was treat in the MCU.......bravo Marvel.....I know is hard, and would have been difficult to ask his friends to continue the show without Chadwick, but killing Tchalla along with Chad Boseman was the wrong path story wise and to how important this character was for so many people, as hard would have been, I rather see someone else playing the character.............worst they put the seed anyway to have a Tchalla anyway with his son, so if you are already planning that Disney....why not just recast from the beginning?

[@angelakirby9847]

Hi

[@matthewbolitho-jones]

I like both of them

[@sharongarrington6031]

Question What is your favourite comic book movie

[@EricCarter12]

The Dark Knight.

[@goliath_beast7967]

I honestly didn't care to see it after watching Thor: Love and Thunder. It's a charming, harmless little movie, and the God Butcher has a Kratos-like backstory, but I think it could have been so much better.

[@elitronprime7322]

Riri’s contribution in this film is summed up by this: Even though she’s clearly setup for her show (that I hope no one watches), the only marketing she had aside from merchandise and the Target ad was her character poster

[@davidgordillo6583]

I thought Riri was okay. She didn’t felt annoying to me, but she really felt like a plot device that didn’t need to be in the movie.

[@angyvirtu3593]

People are gonna watch Ironheart whether you like it or not. Let people enjoy what they want. Though I kinda agree that the movie would've been fine without her.

[@ishaanbhattacharya9405]

Despite its flaws, i really liked wakanda Forever more than the first bp (i don't like the film)

[@DarthWinterMadness]

Probably not the first to say it, but I believe they shouldn't have killed T'Challa off in the first place. Especially not off screen, it was a bad move. And I'd argue it was less respectful to kill him off, rather than keeping the character alive. And it's not like they needed to have T'Challa in Wakanda Forever. The character could've been off world for whatever reason, then came back for the next movie with another face, maybe because he sustained a really violent injury. An injury he only survived from because of the powers granted by the Heart Shaped Herb. That way the audience would've had the time to digest Chadwick Boseman's premature death, whilst not rushing a replacement for a few years. All of that without, again, killing his character off and off screen. Anyways I'll stop before the rant goes out of hand. Disney/Marvel made the wrong choice in my opinion. And now it's too late to course correct. They chose to have T'Challa to be dead canonically and unless they recon it or remake the whole MCU, that's what we have to live with. It's really frustrating to someone like me who only started to watch the MCU movies a few months before the sad news about Boseman. But I don't wanna make it about me so I'll end it here. They should've recast T'Challa and allowed someone else (like JD Washington) to keep the character alive. Cheers from France! 🍻 *Edit* I just wanna add that the "colonizer" joke toward Martin Freeman's character is in poor taste. It implies that only (or at least mostly) white people are to blame for colonization, completely ignoring that most (if not all) civilizations engaged into colonization and slavery. Pinning it on one ethnic group is not funny and racist in and of itself.

[@jacindaellison3363]

It did bother me some more that Everett Ross's actions from the first movie are ignored. Don't get me wrong, I still like this movie. It's an (A) for me. But there are some medium to big problems with it. One of them being the aforementioned: Shuri tells Ross he owes her and T'Challa for his life being saved. Did the movie forget that he needed their help because he got shot by a bullet that would've hit Nakia, one of their own? He saved her. So they had to help him. And then, he volunteered to help them take back Wakanda. He took out the ships headed for some of Killmonger's ppl. He could've died.

[@shadowleon659]

I like to call Wakanda Forever. The Crow Shitty of Angels 2.0 Electric Boogaloo and coming from a guy who didn't like the first one, this film is insulting and disrespectful to the late Chadwick Boseman.

[@Suleimanfilmaker]

They actually did say that they didn’t want to explore t’challas death as a plot line out of respect for the passing of Chadwick bossman also Eric you should actually look at talokan it is not like every world marvel has a hand in creating look at the place it’s got a lot of culture and also you are right about Riri Williams
