#WakandaForever was a beautiful tribute to Chadwick and the weight of his loss. The film beautifully addresses grief and what it can do to a person. Also the action is so good and very brutal. I need time to process this. #black Panther

“‘Forever Wakanda’ is a beautiful tribute to Chadwick and the weight of his loss. The film speaks beautifully about grief and what it can do to a person. Plus the action is big and very brutal. I need time to process.

Ryan Coogler’s #BlackPantherWakandaForever is above all cathartic. A moving film about loss, legacy and healing. The story is intimate, yet expansive with global power struggles and palace intrigue. Namor de Tenoch Huerta is a FORCE, better than I expected. So much to discuss. pic.twitter.com/cDFVcPYHRR
