Black Panther: Wakanda Forever
Behind the Scenes: Talokan
I'll be sharing lots of behind the scenes from creators/fan commentary related to Talokan and it's actors/concepts.

Líik’ik Talokan! #namor #attuma #namora
Tenoch Huerta didn't know how to swim when he first got the call from Ryan Coogler, but hey "he's never drowned" so that's a good start for the #Namor actor!

Character design explorations for #WakandaForever
I was hugely inspired by my trip to Mexico and tried to do a kind of alternate reality version of ancient designs as if they developed by branching out hundreds of years ago. - Adi Granov

Since my basic breakdown got popular (thank you all so much!), here’s a new thread to enjoy. The #Mesoamerica Influences in Costumes of #wakandaforever so spoliers ahead!! Fashion, my favorite 🤩🧵1/13 Image
Starting with #Shuri’s fit! Namora’s not wrong when she says someone of Shuri’s status wears highly decorated jade ornaments. Right pic of K’abal, Maya “warrior” queen of Wak, wearing lots of jade (that I highlighted) 🧵2/13 ImageImage
Layers of clothing & various color was also a sign of high status. So #Namora gets to really show it off! Her formal regalia reminds me of a cape from a Jaina Island (Campeche) figure & I even spotted her wearing a net top like one of my friend’s studies 🧵3/13 #wakandaforever ImageImageImage

Watched @theblackpanther tonight. And you know what? This movie is about our #RussianUkrainianWar. And #UkraineIsWakanda. And here is why.

Danger: 🧵 :)

🎨: Olivia Odiwe
#Wakanda = #Ukraine.
We appeared to be stronger and more developed than the whole world expected.
And yes, we also fight pretty well.

It is time! That’s right. Time to break down the #Mesoamerica Influences, not explained in detail at least, in #WakandaForever  so Spoilers in the THREAD and links to more info if I could fit it. Let’s Dive In, pun intended. 🧵… (1/17) Image
Firstly, gotta talk about the Talokanil themes. You hear Maya whistles and drums when we first meet the warriors! And that screech in Namor’s theme. It’s a jaguar whistle. It sounds like… well… a Jaguar! #wakandaforever 🧵 (2/17)
Another instrument was the Conchshell like the one in the film. It could also have been used just to summon a crowd. I go into a but more details about this particular conch in the film 🧵 (3/17)

🧵 Notre avis spoiler-free sur le nouveau film #BlackPanther

Vibrant, déchirant et spectaculaire : Wakanda Forever est largement à la hauteur de nos attentes 🔥

Déroulez, on vous explique pourquoi ⬇️ Poster ScreenX de Black Pan...
Après des chapitres plus fantastiques et comiques, Marvel propose avec #BlackPantherWakandaForever un récit grave qui sait faire vivre et évoluer ses protagonistes & antagonistes, et marque un tournant géopolitique pour la Terre-616.
Ouvertement politisé, Wakanda Forever fait référence à la fois à la colonisation espagnole (partie intégrante de l’origine tragique de Namor & de la Cité de Talokan) et à la révolution haïtienne.

Can’t stop thinking about #Namor. A phenomenal debut for the character, & a thunderous performance from Tenoch Huerta Mejía. The humanity, the pain, the presence. A mythic hero AND a classic tragedy, delivering every shade of complexity. Thank you, @TenochHuerta. #WakandaForever
And Tenoch had to be everything that #Namor is all while conveying SO much world-building. It was a huge goal, and he & Ryan Coogler delivered in every way. The entirety of the history, plight, spirit, & love of this newly introduced people all rests on THIS character working.
And just consider how Coogler has now given us TWO locations on screen, with TWO cultures & TWO peoples, that feel so immensely real & fleshed out. To do it once with Wakanda was already masterful, but to do it again in a sequel? It’s wild. Talokan feels so rich. #WakandaForever

Yeah, #WakandaForever is incredible. Still formulating my thoughts some more, but it’s absolutely one of Marvel’s best. It really is a beautiful, compelling, & worthy sequel to #BlackPanther. The explorations of grief, legacy, generational trauma, & cycles of pain are stunning.
It honestly would have been a MIRACLE to get even a “good” movie given the heartbreaking real life circumstances, but they managed to make an amazing movie. The way they handled the themes of loss are SO elegantly done. It’s so moving. #BlackPanther #WakandaForever
This being a script created by devastating necessity is just UNREAL to me, because it just feels like the next natural chapter for #BlackPanther. It’s both a clear tribute piece, and a navigation of circumstances, but it never feels like a panicked reaction. It’s SO confident.

El día de ayer vi Black Panther: Wakanda Forever y quisiera compartirles algunos detalles sobre las referencias mesoamericanas que pude observar.

(No spoilers). Image
Antes de continuar debo decir que esta puede considerarse la "parte dos" de un hilo que hice sobre el mismo tema pero en el trailer de la película.

Por esta razón, muchos detalles no los volveré a mencionar. Les recomiendo darse una vuelta por ese hilo.

Uno de las cosas más interesantes de la película es que Namor (@TenochHuerta), junto a los demás habitantes del Talocan, hablan maayatꞌaan, también conocido como "maya yucateco".

Esta es la lengua maya más hablada y también la más extendida. Image

The new trailer for #BlackPantherWakandaForever has M’Baku reveal that #Namor is known as the “Feathered Serpent God."

Namor has been confirmed to be a mutant in the MCU and his being likened to a god can also help to flesh out the history of mutants.

The idea of #Namor being a god likely isn’t meant to be taken literally. However, it can serve to add to his character by exploring the historical context of the terminology. Mesoamerican culture is likely going to be a big part of Namor’s character.

screenrant.com/namor-feathere… Image
First & foremost, what needs to be discussed is what the Feathered Serpent God is supposed to be. The Feathered Serpent was a prominent figure in Mesoamerican religions, with all versions being some sort of winged serpent with ties to the sky and weather.

Estan para leerse unos rumorcitos de #WakandaForever????
Según la informaciónemitida por el site brasileño Chippu, la película mostrará el funeral de #TChalla. Esta será la forma de terminar el ciclo del personaje y homenajear a #ChadwickBoseman.
Es en esta ceremonia fúnebre que #Namor hará su entrada. Tenoch Huerta será quién lo interprete y tendrá un aspecto similar al de los cómics, con poca ropa.
El personaje no será originario de la #Atlantis, como en los cómics, sino de la región centroamericana
Provendrá de una ciudad histórica y sumergida de la cultura mexicana. Además, será hijo de un humano con una reina del pueblo sumergido.
Éste cambio será para que el público no confunda tanto a Namor con #Aquaman.
A propósito, circula una imagen borrosa del posible diseño

[TEORIA]🚨
El rumor de que #Shuri podría ser la nueva #BlackPanther en el #MCU no es para nada descabellada, y tenemos una buena referencia para decirlo: Esto ya pasó en los cómics.
Principalmente en el año 2009, durante el evento #DarkReign

Cómo llegó a portar al manto que antes usaran su hermano y su padre??

El personaje creado en 2005 por #JohnRomitaJr, ya había intentado ser la lideresa de #Wakanda, pero su hermano #TChalla había ganado el derecho.
Durante la invasión de Klaw, ella debió enfrentarse al #HombreRadiactivo, al que asesina, lo que la somete en una profunda depresión.
Su hermano promete entrenarla para que no vuelva a estar en esta posición. Image

@WhoWouldWin13 I don't know about Namor, but Aquaman can summon sea animals to do his bidding, including attacking his enemies. The Karathen in particular will be an enormous asset.
@WhoWouldWin13 The Karathen is definitely on par with the Kraken in size, and may be just as strong (though I'm skeptical, see why below). Combined with Namor's impressive strength, durability and other powers...they make for a deadly duo.

However, The Kraken is not just a colossal
@WhoWouldWin13 beast: it is a colossal elemental beast, one which defeated the Titans. To do that on its own has to mean that, in most cases, it is impervious to godly powers. The only thing that could ever kill him was a gorgon (which in a way testifies to Athena's true potential for power,
