The world-building of the MCU has become extremely prevalent as it delves into the nation of Wakanda. The Nation is home to the precious resource Isipho, also known as “The Gift,” but more popularly known in the English-speaking world as Vibranium. Until Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, Wakanda was the only nation in sole possession of the resource known to be stronger than steel and able to absorb and redirect kinetic energy. It’s thanks to Vibranium that the Wakandan tribes

Although What If… is more of an entertaining series that focuses on events where one minor or major decision led to a massive change in many realities. Taking place conveniently after Loki, What If… shows some of the realities, some good and comedic, some darker than most though in some way the story ends in explaining why the sacred timeline had to be what it had to be. What If… although the storylines all fluctuate through different time periods, it all technically takes pl

Exploring Valkyrie’s bisexuality was a mere blink and you’ll miss it opportunity. Valkyrie was another standout to Thor: Ragnarök. She was very compelling and while not much is known about her early life whilst serving Odin minus the gruesome demise of her sisters-in-arms The Valkyrie, she was an interesting character worth diving into and eventually even becomes the King of Asgard when Thor realized his journey was more than being a King. Tessa Thompson and director Taika Wa

It is shown in the comics and implied in the MCU that one of Wakanda’s traditions for the new protector the Black Panther is that they undergo a ritual where they ingest the heart shaped herb and taken to the ancestral plane. It is shown that those rejected by Bast are deemed unworthy and are not only not granted superhuman abilities but also may suffer a cardiac arrest to showcase that they are unworthy. However Killmonger despite his dark heart was able to properly undergo

Okoye is the leader of the Dora Milaje and a high-ranking general of the entire Wakandan Army. She was also a former Avenger at one point (shocking right; if you haven’t seen Endgame yet). Formalities aside here, I created this arc because truthfully I am tired of seeing comments saying Okoye should be black panther instead of Shuri. I get the comments though because she’s badass, confident, prideful, loyal to her country & people to a fucking T, and exhibits the elements wor

T’Challa better known as Black Panther is the known king of the secluded technologically enhanced nation of Wakanda located in the center of Africa. Pampered, groomed, and heavily prepared since birth for the role of both King and Black Panther, T’Challa had become his country’s leader and protector. Wakanda to its public has been known to be a country of farmers and breeders with little to offer to the world aside from dope clothing. When in actuality Wakanda is much more ad

We all know for a fact that in Avengers: Infinity War it had changed the lives of the heroes and the entire universe for the worse when the Mad Titan Thanos himself in spite of the efforts of the Guardians of the Galaxy , Avengers , and the entire Nation of Wakanda managed to complete the Infinity Gauntlet and grant his wish to turn half of the entire population of the Universe to dust . What’s confusing is that none of the Marvel shows from different platforms that take

With the Marvel Cinematic Universe rapidly expanding in front of our very eyes. It makes sense that some side characters should be given their own spotlight. Okoye is among them. She is the leader of the infamous Dora Milaje, the king’s elite forces, highly trained in various forms of combat and laced in Vibranium armor. Many times Okoye has proven herself to be a badass and valued addition to the MCU whether hunting the slippery no. 1 South African Black Arms Dealer & crimin

Avengers: Endgame was a beautifully constructed film with a few minor disappointments to me but was nonetheless a worthy sequel/continuation to the otherwise shocking ending of Infinity War. One of the few disappointments was the lack of character interaction. Although Valkyrie’s actress Tessa Thompson is a fan of the Dora Milaje and Wakanda in general her character did not get much interaction with them which to me is somewhat puzzling. We know Valkyrie comes from a very com

For every Black Panther fan, you’d know that T’Challa following the death of his father King T’Chaka, became coronated king. Though he briefly lost the throne when his corrupted cousin challenged and seemingly killed him, T’Challa managed to fight for his position and successfully killed Killmonger ushering a new era for Wakanda. However, it wasn’t long until Wakanda was brought into another war when the mad titan Thanos was on the hunt for the infinity stones and since Visio
