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.

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.

Quetzalcoatl of the Aztec mythology is the most famous of the Feathered Serpents, but there are others.

Namor is called Kukulkan & his outfit appears to take inspiration from Quetzalcoatl. Namor is likely meant to reference multiple Feathered Serpents.

With #Namor being treated as a god because of his mutation, it sets up a precedent for mutants in the MCU being treated as diving beings by different cultures, & that can work to explain why they haven’t been part of the MCU until recently.

#AemondTargaryen finally got his dragon in #HouseOfTheDragon, which comes at a major cost for both sides of the Targaryen civil war. 🐲

The power to claim dragons is vital to the Targaryen’s conquest & reign. No surprise that he went to extreme measures!

Dragons don’t easily allow new riders to claim them, especially dragons like Vhagar who are nearly 200 years old, have known several riders, and have spent many stretches of their lives roaming freely.

Before Aemond, Vhagar was ridden by Queen Visenya (Aegon the Conqueror’s sister-wife & the wielder of Daemon's sword Dark Sister), Viserys & Daemon’s father Prince Baelon Targaryen, & Laena Velaryon, each of whom had to prove their bravery in order to claim her. #HouseOfTheDragon Image
