Marvel's "Black Panther" premiered over a month ago, I've seen it four times, and I'm still not over it. Every day that goes by that I spend time not watching "Black Panther" is truly a day wasted. Thankfully, along with such a spectacular movie we were also gifted with the greatest cast ensemble pretty much ever. Chadwick Boseman, the Black Panther himself, is a shining star and I have so admired how he has accepted his new role in black society. He is quite literally the king of Wakanda and here are 10 times that he proved it:
1. That time he was ridiculously happy to pet a toy black panther
Have you ever seen someone more excited to know there's a little black panther in a box?
2. That time he gave his kingly blessing to Victor Oladipo at the NBA All-Star Game
Did Oladipo even win the dunk contest? I was too busy crying over my king sitting courtside.
3. That time he didn't even flinch when that guy on Jimmy Fallon called him "my king"
Listen, everyone knows what's up. You think I wouldn't be bowing and crossing my arms if I ever saw Chadwick? I would and there would be tears.
4. He and Danai and just as competitive as Okoye and T'Challa
Chadwick, I love you, but we all know Danai goes the hardest.
5. That time he was humble and KINGLY when reacting to praise for his record-breaking film
"Black Panther" is currently the highest grossing comic book film of all time. If I was Chadwick I would have jumped up and screamed and rubbed it in. But Chadwick is a king and therefore keeps his composure.
6. That time he presented his best friend W'Kabi Daniel Kaluuya with an award and they reminded everyone they were royalty
They're best friends in and outside of Wakanda and I'm crying.
7. He and Letitia are siblings in every sense of the word
Sure Chadwick, sure.
8. His fondness for Lupita is just as embarrassing as T'Challa freezing in mid-combat for Nakia
Oh god, this is cringe-worthy..... but also please get married.
9. He literally said so
What else needs to be said besides...
