Black Panther
Summary;
King T’Challa of Wakanda inherits the throne from his father T’Chaka after his death and faces challenges to keep his kingdom safe. His skill and authority are tested when an ‘outsider’ to Wakanda overthrows T’Challa and takes his label as King. T’Challa has to undergo many hardships to take back his name as King and as Black Panther as well as keeping his family and his people safe.
Key Idea;
I think the key idea of Black Panther is black culture. Throughout many points in the movie, the culture is represented. Wakanda was literally hidden for so long because they were trying to shelter themselves from the rest of the world in order to protect from racism and from their kingdom being overthrown. Taking their vibranium. But T'Challa knew this was wrong, especially after he found out what his father had done. He understood why Erik Killmonger was so furious. This is a link to real life. Erik grew up alone, everything had been taken from him, he was just a child. Alone. Living in a city full of guns, drugs and violence. Towards the end, T'Challa worked to make it right once and for all. He revealed Wakanda to the rest of the world and helped to make parts of America where their brothers and sisters were struggling just because of the colour of their skin. He made sure no more children would have to suffer like Erik.
Chadwick Boseman (T'Challa/Black Panther) passing;
Three days ago, on Friday the 28th of August, Chadwick Boseman passed away due to colon cancer at the age of 43. He had struggled with this horrible disease for four years. He played as a major character in the Marvel series, along with many other movies. Black Panther was one of my all-time favourite superheroes and I will never forget him. I guarantee the world will never forget him.
Rest In Peace Chadwick Boseman, you legend <3
Gone but never forgotten.
