Wakanda Forever is brilliant, from the cold, emotional open to the calm, surprise ending.

This isn't just the best superhero movie I've ever seen, but it can stand on its own against straight dramatic films of depth and quality.

It may not appeal to douchebros, et. al, because it's emotionally deep, beyond the death of Chadwick Boseman, but people who don't like superhero/action flicks could really love this.

It's a good superhero movie and strengthens and expands the #MCU.

#WakandaForever

Emotionally it's like the snap, Avengers Assemble/On your left, No Way Home (including that ending) all in one, times 100.

Ryan Coogler created a great story and delivered an amazing full, rich, movie-going experience unlike anything I've seen.

I procrastinate, and I'm glad I forced myself to see this today before the long holiday week starts tomorrow.

There were only 3 other people at the 3:15 3D show, which is great for my still isolating/masking/paranoid because I've spent weeks in the hospital and had a breathing tube self.

But I hope it pulls in massive crowds here on out and smashes records, it deserves that πŸ‘πŸΏπŸ‘πŸΏπŸ‘πŸΏπŸ‘πŸΏπŸ‘πŸΏ

Yes, I will brave crowds because I will see it in the theater again, soon πŸ‘πŸΏ

I forgot to mention here that #WakandaForever is a massive budget movie led by and centered on Black women. Truly historic.

And the antagonists are Indigenous, with a long history and rich storyline driving that antagonism.

This movie is very deep, with many layers and yes, it's Oscar-worthy as Best Picture.

And Angela Basset's hair!!! 😍

She's a force in this, as are Letitia, Lupita, Danai, Winston, and Tenoch.

Superb all around πŸ‘πŸΏπŸ‘πŸΏβ­οΈβ­οΈβ­οΈβ­οΈβ­οΈβ­οΈβ­οΈβ­οΈβ­οΈβ­οΈ

@ricardoharvin I loved the fact that the hero was allowed to struggle even to fail and learn before she succeeded. It was not a power Fantasy but a discussion of the responsibilities that come from power. The comparison in the realm of the ancestors was magnificent. So much better than some of the more recent offerings.

@Peadarcallaghan This is a major reason why it works for me – it's not an immature male fantasy fulfillment story, it's all about mature adults making mature, adult choices that absolutely make sense and ring true, even if we may disagree with those choices.

*looking at you, Namor. but I get why*
