There is a lot more to unpack in Black Panther thematically. It's filled with mind-blowing concepts.
- A technologically advanced civilization in the heart of Africa.
- A society / warrior culture where women play a significant role.
- Mercenary forces that are trying to exploit the wealth of an African nation.
- A xenophobic society that employs subterfuge and murder to protect its secrets.
- A nation that appears to seamlessly fuse advanced technology and tribal/ritual customs.
And, for the second time, Marvel has arranged for a black man to be able to stride defiantly through a hail of gunfire and emerge unharmed - the irony is not lost on me.
I enjoyed the brief sequences of Killmonger's extraction of Klaue from Federal custody - very professional. Jordan is either going to crush the Killmonger roll or be the weakest link.
