Wakanda Forever

NOTE: This episode was recorded in February, which was prior to
the recent allegations regarding Jonathan Majors. 

Happy Wine Wednesday! Candi and Andre join me this week for the
home going services of Queen Ramonda and her son King T'Challa in
Marvel's Wakanda Forever.

The movie wasted no time addressing the tremendous loss of
Chadwick Boseman, so we follow that lead in our discussion and
start by talking about the direction Ryan Coogler took in
bringing that loss to the screen.  We went into the film
thinking there would only be one major loss so it was a surprise
when Queen Ramonda was tragically killed.  I ask Candi and
Andre to share their thoughts about that narrative
decision.  Other topics covered include:


Kilmonger's return (ugh)

Namor as an antagonist

Thoughts on storylines for the returning secondary characters

What Wakanda Forever as a meditation on grief and loss meant
for it as a Marvel film

Ryan's original vision for Wakanda Forever before Chadwick's
tragic death

Post-credit scene with the wee baby Toussaint 

What we would've left on the cutting room floor of this long
as* film



And of course we close with our thirst segment, which was
inspired by the African American urge to avoid vast bodies of
water.  

Thanks so much for listening! Friendly reminder - we drink, we
know things, we use adult language, and we have a great time.
