Hey there, Erik here! As we mentioned in our community post earlier today, we decided to reupload this breakdown after RU-vid restricted the previous one for silly reasons that it didn't allow us to do anything about. While the platform does that from time to time to our videos, we didn't want to let that stand for our Black Panther analysis. We worked super hard on this video, and the film is so rich with details and deeper meaning that we considered it too much a shame to let RU-vid hide it from everyone. So if you managed to catch the previous breakdown, we understand if you want to pass on this one. But I would say it's also worth a rewatch. Either way, we appreciate your support, and new videos will be returning tomorrow and every day after!
Wonderful human being. Also leaves behind a truly powerful legacy. Marvel movies may not be the pinnacle of cinema but the effect they have on people (especially young kids) is infinite
The scene in the museum with Erik is actually a insight to a deeper problem of British colonists taking native African cultural treasures and placing them in the British museum. For many years countries in Africa, like Nigeria have tried to reclaim these treasures only to be denied. This puts a physical and economic gap for people who wish to see their heritage but cannot because it requires a Visa, passport, plane ticket etc.
Also killmonger's "the sun will never set on the wakandan empire" is based off "the sun will never set on the british empire' It shows how revenge can change people into the enemies they want to get back at
Thor’s generally immature and joking nature may not entirely mesh with T’challa’s stoicism. But they are a lot alike in their relationships with their fathers and each have kin known for being malicious.
Killmonger was one of the best and very justified villains, RIP King and he was amazing in his motives in what he wanted in the future im sad we wont see it come to fruition
If it helps, purple is a color of royalty and extravagance. The color for clothing was originally derived from mollusks from the sea, so it was reserved only for royalty.
Something I noticed about the challenge, is that the Dora-Milaje and Jabari wielding spears move a step closer whenever one of them scores a hit, shrinking the field to keep the fight short and based on skill and not endurance. I assume it also has to do with remaining cool under increasing pressure and odds... The first time I saw it I kept wondering why they seemed to move closer at random, but there is a reason. A pretty cool reason.
Having studied military history, I was thinking that was the reason but wasn’t sure. I need to reread the military strategies from African cultures again.
In Captain Marvel Post Credit Scene In the New Avengers Facility, where Steve Rogers, Natasha Romanoff, Bruce Banner, and James Rhodes were analyzing the device and Kenya was shown Onscreen along with some other countries while receiving updates on global decimation level of casualties caused by the Snap. And In Black Panther movie, While preparing an ambush to Ulysses Klaue in Busan, Nakia disguised herself, King T'Challa and Okoye as rich entrepreneurs from Kenya to access the hidden casino where Klaue was headed to sell a vibranium artifact. These Kenyan references would be the Easter Eggs that indicating Storm's existence in the MCU.
it was recently revealed by Ryan Coogler that Killmonger's final line was originally different but it was Chadwick Boseman himself who suggested that line about Killmonger's ancestors that made it into the final cut. RIP Chadwick 💔
in some of the comics, Vibranium is the yolk of the egg, a Celestial egg, which radiate life on the planets containing such eggs. It is also the reason Galactus eats those worlds, to keep the celestial population in balance.
2:50 those hexagonal tiles looks like the ones from the wormhole travel in endgame, both guardians and captain marvel 4:57 and purple is royalty of the black African wakandans
i've always had this feeling that Vibranium's powerful aura and strange effects had some kind of connection to the Power Stone. as they both exert purple energy that both increase power, mass and effect of the wearers physical attributes.
I thought N'Jobu (T'Chaka's brother) is actually wearing a blue shirt. Coogler said blue represented colonialism in the film. This is one movie where it is totally worth it to listen to the director's commentary. The layers of consideration that went into the character development, color stories, set design, and cinematography were just astounding.
14:56 The korean graffiti "네이팜" (Neipam) when put into google translates into Napalm which is a highly flammable sticky jelly found in bombs and flamethrowers. In Korea it means "to attack with bombs or napalm" which is somehow similar to what Killmonger does in that scene
Well done 👍!!! Your analysis of films, particularly this one, demonstrates the brilliance and thoughtfulness that goes into every aspect of filmmakering!! Thanks!!!
You did a great job explaining everything Eric. Thank you Even though I h derstood by watching the movie. You gave it a well cared , though out under standing .
Eric I am very impressed in the fact that you can pronounce everything and you do with such with respect You my friend have became part of my friend book
Killmonger last words before dying ( just bury me in the ocean because they knew death is better than bondage). Maybe he's talking about atlanteans . Namour l guess.
The only two white guys in this movie (excluding bucky) are played by Andy Serkis and Martin Freeman, who were in The Hobbit as Gollum and Bilbo Baggins respectively. They are the tolkien white guys
RU-vid took down the last for probably for the ethnicity content in it ......if you watched the last one then you notice they changed the photos they used to represent the African tribes....specifically the one the wears red
Me: Makes a superhero suit Friend: "Why are there words on it?" Me: "Oh yeah just to look cool" Friend: "What does it say?" Me: "You don't want to know"
