the thing i love about t’challa wasn’t just that he took killmonger to see the sunset, it was that he was in tears as he listened to killmonger’s story – that he was arguing that killmonger wouldn’t exist if t’chaka had simply shown compassion, that he understood the black panthers of the past had maybe been wrong. you can feel his empathy for people, and why it makes him the black panther whose story is being told; the most special thing about him isn’t his powers, or his suit, because there were black panthers generations before him. his fighting skill isn’t revolutionary – he gets beaten. the thing that made him special was that he has a big heart. t’challa is a good person. genuinely, a great one.
honestly if there’s anything that reminds me of erskine’s “not a perfect soldier but a good man” line it’s t’challa he’s not a perfect king or fighter or soldier but he is a good man and that is what matters in the end
Plus there were multiple scenes where the women spoke with each other and the conversations weren’t throwaway or trivial they actually helped move the plot along.
And each woman in the movie got an entire character arc, none of which were about ‘getting the guy’
Through the ages, purple has always been associated with royalty, nobility, prestige, mystery, magic, power and luxury. Purple is often used to portray rich powerful kings, leaders, magicians and even sorcerers. The colour purple relates to the world of imagination and the need to escape the practical and everyday life. It’s the daydreamers escape from reality, it assists those seeking the meaning of life and spiritual fulfilment. (x)
This movie was as visually stunning as it was emotionally moving. A masterpiece.
