Black Panther: Wakanda Forever is not your typical Marvel movie

The focus of the sequel signed by director Ryan Coogler is mourning, which slows down the pace of the film but makes it more meaningful

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever is not your typical Marvel movie

The theatrical release of the first Black Panther represented an unprecedented popular-cultural phenomenon. The immediate and lasting impact was astounding. In the United States in particular, the fact that the film was produced during the years of Donald Trump's presidency gave its message a special charge. It was a dystopian historical phase, during which the life of blacks was so precarious as to require the staging of black superheroes. The cinecomic on Black Panther was a triple triumph: commercial, critical and cultural.


King T'Challa is a tailor-made hero for a new and uncertain time. Chadwick Boseman, who was not new to big roles, brought dignity and charisma. Joining him is a supporting cast of black stars like Lupita Nyong'o and Michael B. Jordan. Black Panther was scratchy and intelligent enough not to be engulfed by an industry – that of American show business – hungry for colors and meanings. Thanks to director Ryan Coogler and co-writer Joe Robert Cole, the film was not limited to the miracle of achieving great recognition, but also represented real progress. He spoke to us and we responded, opening new avenues for representation of black communities.


But then came Boseman's death in 2020 from colon cancer. Franchises are built on star power; Without Boseman, one of Marvel's brightest and most promising figures, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever has been haunted by her absence and shrouded in mourning that cannot be ignored. Rarely do Marvel cinematic universe films and series integrate the mourning experience with such incisive attention (WandaVision came close in its unconventional representation of pain for the death of a partner and its psychological consequences). Framing Wakanda Forever is tricky: I hesitate to call it a new kind of superhero blockbuster – it didn't completely reinvent the genre – but it comes close. Coogler has endowed his sequel with a new vocabulary, one that taps into both loss and triumph. Pain is his mother tongue.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

Find excitement in your life and start exploring wherever you are right here, right now.

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…
