Finally had the honor of watching #BlackPantherWakandaForever. Marvel Studios was never as political as this film, that has action scenes, of course, but much more. For example, probably the MVP, Angela Bassett is assured of an Oscar nomination, if not winning. 👇
What Ryan Coogler does with #BlackPanther is to reconstruct a whole mosaic of generational traumas that haunt ethnic communities around the planet. It goes deep, and not just for Namor, but for the care with plots and emotions that are truer than ever before in Marvel. 👇
So, for #BlackPantherWakandaForever, Ryan Coogler revisits decades of African filmography. There are scenes in this movie that could have only been crafted by someone who loves Med Hondo's "Sarraounia".
He might have even watched Mexican melodramas to make this. So good. 👇
That said, #WakandaForever post-credits scene proves that Marvel wants to tell not just good stories, but good stories with meaning. What does it mean to lead a nation. What does it mean to be a symbol? A king. A hero. Therefore, the future of the studio is not doomed. 👇
#BlackPantherWakandaForever is not just about kids seeing themselves on the big screen anymore. It's about revolution. Of all people. Of all nations. Go watch Hondo. Sembène. Mambéty. Maldoror. Ouédraogo. Dash. Burnett. Lee. And, now, Coogler. Longe live Boseman. 'Nuff said.

Had the honor of watching #DoctorStrangeInTheMultiverseOfMadness today. Marvel was never as deep as this film, that has one of the action scenes of the entire franchise. Olsen might be the MVP. Her performance would give her an Oscar, if the Academy was less conservative.👇
But, forget about the film itself, cause the post-credits scene is overwhelming. Seriously, if you needed a reason to watch #DoctorStrange and make it another Marvel hit, surpassing a billion dollars, now you have it. Those 2 mins. sustain at least another 10 years of media. 👇
Not gonna spoil anything, but make sure you watch the seventh episode of the season 6 of "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D", the first episode of "What If...?", the whole "Loki" series, "Deadpool 2", the entire final season of "X-Men: The Animated Series" and unbelievably "Inhumans".
