    If I could like this video a thousand times, I would.
    I'm so glad I'm not the only one who left the theater upset and disappointed with Wakanda Forever. When Namor took Shuri to see his home, I joked with my friend that Namor and Shuri should just marry each other and form a pack in order to protect themselves from the West trying to get the Vibranium. It didn't make sense for him to want to kill Riri. Does he really think that by killing Riri, all of a sudden, those vibranium machines will cease to exist?
    I don't know what Ryan Coogler was thinking when he was directing this film, but this wasn't it.
    Queen Ramona was killed, no consequences for the murderer.
    King T'chaka was killed, no consequences for the murderer, or in this case, the conspirator who mind controlled Bucky to do the explosion...🙄🙄🙄

    Thank you for making this video. I have the exact same views walking away from this movie. It was as if we, as a people, have not learned from our past mistakes. And I did not like the fact that Black people were fighting with Brown people. It made no sense to me other than to push an ideal or agenda. And these are the reasons why the Black Panther movies are not a part of my personal library.

It truly shows the extent to which the narrative has infiltrated the subconscious of our people to the point of mental blindness, it is scary but keep on doing whatvyou are doing bro. There is light at the end of the tunnel, see what has happened in Mali and Burkina faso and more shall come.

    Respect to you family. I enjoy your show. I watch it all the time. This film was created from an American perspective. No disrespect at all but maybe it should have been created by an African so Africa could give her perspective. The continent has a lot to say to the world in the days to come. It is time for the continent to speak louder and claim respect. I feel we in the diaspora and the continent need to have a dialog. I want to build with my brothers and sisters across the ocean.

    I havent watched the second movie of wakanda. But I was a huge fan of the first one before it came out. Then I watched it and I felt like no black movie can be made without the narrative that blacks can’t bring things to success without the help of a white man or the USA… and a few more negative things… I didn’t think as much as you into it, but that was enough for me to dump black panther.
