Introducing the Most Powerful Anti-Hero
The movie sets the stage for Marvel’s latest introduction. The Talokans, an underwater civilisation hidden from the world, and their fearsome leader, Namor, played by Tenoch Huerta. The introduction of Namor sees him become Marvel’s most powerful Anti-hero yet, possessing many incredible weapons and abilities up his sleeve. The threat he poses to the Wakandans is unmatched.
A Vibrant Tribute
The movie shows the passing of the Black panther torch from King T’Challa to Shuri. It is a beautiful tribute to King T’Challa and everything he represented. Hope, unity, kindness, courage and many other qualities are what made King T’Challa great and ‘Black Panther: Wakanda Forever’ encompasses that perfectly to pay respects to one of the greatest heroes to have lived.
