We’re heading back to Wakanda for our Black Panther rewatch, and this one sparked a bigger debate than expected.
The crew looks back at Ryan Coogler’s 2018 MCU milestone and discusses why Wakanda still feels like one of Marvel’s best-built worlds, how Chadwick Boseman brings quiet strength and nobility to T’Challa, and why the supporting cast may be one of the strongest in the entire MCU.
We also dig into the big questions: Is Killmonger really one of Marvel’s best villains, or does the movie tell us more about him than it actually shows? Was Andy Serkis’ Klaue wasted? Does the CGI still hold up? And how much credit does this movie deserve for changing the shape of the MCU before Infinity War?
Plus, Shuri’s tech, Okoye and the Dora Milaje, Angela Bassett’s royal presence, Everett Ross as the audience surrogate, and yes, the armored rhinos finally get the respect they deserve.
What do you think? Is Black Panther one of the MCU’s best, or does it sit more in the middle of the pack?
