Okay, first of all, I stopped counting how many times "Wakanda forever" is shouted in the movie, but I guess you can be pretty certain you are watching the right movie...
That said, let's keep slowly catching up on all the missed Marvel movies and series with the second movie of the Black Panther.
Which starts with a heartbreaking farewell to the late Chadwick Boseman, who played T'Challa before sadly passing away from cancer at age 43. And then we get a movie basically about african tribes fighting mayan tribes, as namor is introduced and his whole esthetic is Mayan in nature, including his blue skinned people. The movie is a big mixture of on the one hand the trade issues for the vibranium which T'Challa had promised and the current ruler is unhappy to oblige to, the fact the "not Atlanteans" also have the metal but need more and want trade with Wakanda, and as the Wakandans refuse a war breaking out between the two mythical nations.
They set up various characters for the next phase of the MCU in this film, as the new Black Panther, but also the introduction of Iron Heart (I dread the day I need to watch that series for completionist sake) and of course Namor himself. The film isn't to bad at all, being rather action packed for some brainless entertainment, but to say it is the cream of the crop is overstating by quite a lot.
But then again, I'm one of those people who are waiting for the X-Men, never having cared much about the Avengers and their allies even back in my comic days...
Only about a half a year to go...
