![]() Queen Ramonda, before the UN in Geneva, sternly warns world powers not to search for vibranium, the magical resource which gives Wakanda, and its leader, the Black Panther, its extraordinary powers. ![]() There’s always a diabolical threat coming from somewhere in the Marvel Universe, and at the beginning of the film the Wakandans think to fear other countries that are after their precious vibranium, now that they’ve been alerted to its powers. It’s a heavy beginning never has one of Marvel’s films dealt so directly with the senseless tragedy of loss, and this film did so because it had to it was forced to do so by the senseless tragedy of a real loss.īoth fortunately and unfortunately, though, the weight of grief lifts from “Wakanda Forever” after this overture, and it is felt more peripherally throughout the rest of the film, which generally falls below the higher thematic plane of “Black Panther.” The most glaring problem that “Wakanda Forever” has is its silly mess of a plot, in contrast to its superbly constructed predecessor. Shuri observes Wakanda’s rites of mourning, which involve white robes, not black, lively dancing and thundering drums, with her mother, Queen Ramonda (Angela Bassett). It is beyond her powers to save him, and closely following is his funeral. In her now-famous lab, she frantically attempts to save T’Challa from a mysterious, unnamed illness. Shuri’s sense of humor and her indefatigable spirit - which made her so endearing in the first film - are under strain from the first frames.
