1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,480
Hey friends, I'm Derek.
That's Noah, and you're tuning

2
00:00:03,480 --> 00:00:05,600
into a bite of.
On today's episode, we're

3
00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:17,050
talking about Eyes of Wakanda.
Yeah, Oh, I'm so excited to talk

4
00:00:17,050 --> 00:00:19,210
about this.
We're going to promote it

5
00:00:19,210 --> 00:00:21,850
because it feels like Marvel is
not promoting it, but you know,

6
00:00:22,370 --> 00:00:26,170
you should watch it.
Spoiler head for MCU Black

7
00:00:26,170 --> 00:00:29,450
Panther, Wakanda Forever and as
a Wakanda.

8
00:00:29,810 --> 00:00:31,650
But before we get into
everything, make sure you follow

9
00:00:31,650 --> 00:00:34,720
us, comment below, do the
subscribe, do all those amazing

10
00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:36,920
things.
But yeah, let's get into it.

11
00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:40,520
Let us officially take a bite of
Eyes of Wakanda, directed by

12
00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:43,960
John Fang and Todd Harris and
written by Geoffrey Thorne and

13
00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:46,800
Mike Bernadin.
Follow different generations of

14
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:50,000
Wakandan heroes as they risk
their lives to retrieve stolen

15
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:53,280
artifacts throughout history in
order to protect and keep the

16
00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:58,160
secrets of their homeland.
So this was a four part, I guess

17
00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:00,200
we can call it miniseries,
right?

18
00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:02,360
Yeah, it's like an anthology
miniseries.

19
00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:04,040
Yeah.
Because they all do end up

20
00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:07,400
connecting at the end.
So with this 4 parter, these

21
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:11,160
quick 22 to 30 minute episodes,
what did you think?

22
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:15,040
I really enjoyed it.
First I want to say whoever did

23
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:20,160
the intro music animation
banger, the intro is so, so

24
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:23,320
good.
I was really surprised by this

25
00:01:23,320 --> 00:01:26,080
because I feel like again,
Marvel didn't really push it too

26
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:27,600
much.
Like we knew about it and it

27
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:30,320
kind of snuck up on us that oh,
it's coming out so soon.

28
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:33,320
We watched it all the way
through.

29
00:01:33,320 --> 00:01:35,200
We sat down, couldn't stop
watching it.

30
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:38,880
I was really surprised by I
think the stories were

31
00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:42,680
fantastic.
Each one of these episodes

32
00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:45,640
almost feels like a mini movie
that they could have just

33
00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:48,440
expanded more if they wanted to.
But I love these little

34
00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:50,920
vignettes we got.
But it did make me want more,

35
00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:52,680
right?
I think 4 episodes is

36
00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:55,200
interesting.
It's an interesting amount, but

37
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:58,720
I liked how it all connected in
the end and it gave more weight

38
00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:01,200
to what Wakanda Forever actually
means.

39
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:04,280
More than just a phrase, right?
But I really, really, really

40
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:06,000
enjoyed it.
Yeah, I enjoyed it as well.

41
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:08,759
You know what, these quick run
times with it only being 4

42
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:12,240
episodes, it really felt like
watching a feature length film,

43
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:14,520
right?
Because these stories which seem

44
00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:17,400
very separate, these first 3,
going into the last one, you

45
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:19,840
realize that they are all
connected and you are watching

46
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:23,200
one huge story that spans
throughout history.

47
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:26,640
I thought it was really clever
that there are pieces of history

48
00:02:26,640 --> 00:02:29,680
that we see in this very much
like the Trojan Horse.

49
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:32,680
There were some from from
Wakanda that was paired up with

50
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:34,920
Achilles throughout that like I
thought that was really clever.

51
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:37,480
And then in the other three
episodes, one of the things that

52
00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:42,680
I love so much it just in
general, in pop culture but also

53
00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:46,640
within Wakanda, is the strength
of women, right?

54
00:02:46,640 --> 00:02:52,840
We have in 1/3 and four, a
really strong woman, whether

55
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:56,000
she's from Wakanda or somewhere
else, who takes charge, who's

56
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:59,040
really powerful, who's really
cool, slick, a fighter,

57
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:02,680
intelligent, and I just always
love that that's a piece of

58
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:05,240
Wakanda.
Yeah, I had loved that they, you

59
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:07,320
know, we've gotten the Midnight
Angels, we got them Wakanda

60
00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:10,280
Forever, and we know the Dora
Melaje, we know all of those.

61
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:12,720
But I love that they're
expanding a little bit on the

62
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:15,960
War dogs.
And it's like a secret separate

63
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:20,960
group from these, you know, Dora
Melaje that are trained to be

64
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:24,480
kind of solo, but look for these
artifacts and make sure Wakanda

65
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:27,440
is protected and all that.
And I thought that was so cool.

66
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:31,840
Do you have a particular episode
that you like, really liked that

67
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:36,560
stood out to you?
I really liked #3 Lost and

68
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:41,360
Found, so the strong female
protagonist in this one is

69
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:47,040
actually Iron Fist.
I made me so happy, so so happy

70
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:50,680
that Iron Fist was in this and
done so well and so cool.

71
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:53,800
And, you know, one of the things
that this really brought to

72
00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:57,680
light to me about Wakanda is,
you know, as we're hundreds and

73
00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:02,320
hundreds of years in the past,
we see how technologically

74
00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:04,960
advanced Wakanda always has
been, right?

75
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:09,560
And so this one takes place
solidly in Wakanda because she's

76
00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:13,320
a stowaway on a ship retrieving
her own artifact from her

77
00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:16,000
culture.
And there's, of course, this,

78
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:21,519
like, really sweet fight scene
where they're falling from, for

79
00:04:21,519 --> 00:04:24,440
lack of a better term, trains.
And I love it.

80
00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:29,040
It's like Tron meets, you know,
in Wakanda with the lights.

81
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:31,240
And so I really love that whole
set piece.

82
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:33,760
I thought that was really fun.
It was almost like one of my

83
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:35,640
biggest critiques with Black
Panther.

84
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:40,480
The movie was kind of the end
fight scene and there's a

85
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:41,960
particular, it doesn't look
great.

86
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:45,760
It's just not great between
T'challa and Killmonger and

87
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:48,480
there's trains that are kind of
involved, so we get to see them

88
00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:50,720
in the Black Panther and it just
doesn't look great.

89
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:55,360
I liked that that episode almost
just did it a little better and

90
00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:56,360
the fight scene was a little
better.

91
00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:58,200
So that was a cool little.
I don't know if it was

92
00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:00,200
intentional or not, but I liked
that.

93
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:02,520
It was like, I like that one
over that one it.

94
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:05,760
Felt like they were maybe in a
way doing justice to the trains

95
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:07,080
in Wakanda.
How about you?

96
00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:08,840
Well, I, well, I love that
episode.

97
00:05:08,840 --> 00:05:12,080
I think the introduction of this
Iron Fist was really cool, and I

98
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:14,840
know that we're expecting Iron
Fist to be in the MCU at some

99
00:05:14,840 --> 00:05:19,200
point with Jessica Jones being
confirmed to come back in Born

100
00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:21,360
Again Season 2, Daredevil Born
Again season 2.

101
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:23,680
I think we're all like, are the
Defenders going to be back?

102
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:26,240
What's going to happen?
I hope it's not Danny Rand, like

103
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:30,280
let's get away from that, but I
really like that one.

104
00:05:30,280 --> 00:05:33,600
I want to say I loved all of the
episodes.

105
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:36,240
I know that's a kind of a cop
out, but I really, really

106
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:38,720
enjoyed the second one and 4th
one.

107
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:41,600
It's kind of tied for me.
I just loved the one with

108
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:43,880
Achilles.
I thought it was super

109
00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:46,600
interesting to show, I don't
know, something that we all

110
00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:49,040
know, like the George and horse
and stuff, but then adding that

111
00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:54,120
extra layer of a Wakanda secret
warrior from the War Dogs being

112
00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:55,320
in it.
I like that.

113
00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:59,520
And I think the relationship
between Memmon, I think that was

114
00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:02,440
his name, and Achilles was
really interesting.

115
00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:04,120
I almost was like, are they
going to kiss?

116
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:07,320
Yeah, they didn't, but.
We wanted this to be Song of

117
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:11,320
Achilles adjacent, basically.
Yeah, but I, I really like

118
00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:14,560
showing the relationship between
these war dogs, right?

119
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:17,880
Because I think he was stationed
for nine years with them.

120
00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:20,960
And what does that mean for
somebody that is so separated

121
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:24,120
from the community that they're
trying to protect, but being so

122
00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:27,720
enveloped into another family
and unit and everything?

123
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:29,680
And how do you separate that?
Right?

124
00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:32,920
And he just cuts it off and is
like, this is my mission, I'm so

125
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:35,480
sorry.
And ends up killing Achilles.

126
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:38,600
I thought that was like super
powerful and great writing.

127
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:42,240
And then the 4th one, I'm just
going to make it quick but last.

128
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:45,120
Black Panther, amazing.
The story, amazing how it

129
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:47,960
connects, amazing.
But adding the horde which we

130
00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:51,200
haven't seen in the MCU yet,
Very cool.

131
00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:55,800
They were very scary if it gave
me World War of the World's

132
00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:59,360
vibes, just how they came in,
you know, not to not mention the

133
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:01,480
first one.
I think the first one did a good

134
00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:05,280
job of setting all of this up
right Because, correct me if I'm

135
00:07:05,280 --> 00:07:09,520
wrong, it actually felt like
Noni, who was our character that

136
00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:12,520
was leading this.
She was supposed to be a Dora

137
00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:15,760
Milaje for whatever reason.
Didn't work out almost because

138
00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:19,160
she was so solo, but it was
because of her that the war dogs

139
00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:23,000
actually began.
Well, I they did exist ish.

140
00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:28,240
But I do think that she made it
more important because I think

141
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:31,280
that was one of the first times
that somebody from Wakanda left

142
00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:32,680
and took some of these
artifacts.

143
00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:34,720
And then it was like, OK, we
need to make sure this doesn't

144
00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:36,200
happen.
Because that's the thing with

145
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:38,560
Cobot Conda, right?
As they've been so advanced and

146
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:41,080
the rest of the world isn't
keeping up with them because

147
00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:44,320
they have access to vibranium
and stuff like that, which I

148
00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:45,920
like that.
Again, that was a theme through

149
00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:49,680
this entire thing.
But yeah, I I would say yeah, I

150
00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:51,600
guess so.
Yeah, I think it existed, but it

151
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:53,960
wasn't like a thing.
I think that this is maybe the

152
00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:57,280
first time that they saw that it
could work right and that you

153
00:07:57,280 --> 00:08:00,400
don't have to be Dwar Milaje.
You could actually have a you

154
00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:02,760
could still fight for Wakanda
and protect Wakanda in another

155
00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:05,000
way.
And just as a note, Noni was

156
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:08,200
actually voiced by Winnie
Harlow, who is a supermodel

157
00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:11,280
slash actor slash, I guess voice
actor as well.

158
00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:13,680
So I thought that was really
fantastic.

159
00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:15,960
And just some of the other voice
cast in this.

160
00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:20,200
I also wanted to mention that
the last Panther is actually

161
00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:24,200
played by Anika Noni Rose.
Yeah, From also, I'm just saying

162
00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:28,080
like kind of just Disney royalty
and voicing many characters as

163
00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:29,520
well.
So just.

164
00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:31,800
Amazing.
Yeah, not only is she Tiana, but

165
00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:34,400
she's now also a Black Panther,
which is pretty baller, I

166
00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:36,120
believe.
They were in Mufasa as well.

167
00:08:36,159 --> 00:08:36,880
Really.
Yeah.

168
00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:39,559
Yeah, yeah.
So they they're very good voice

169
00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:41,919
acting, obviously.
And I just love the last Black

170
00:08:41,919 --> 00:08:43,799
Panther.
Fantastic.

171
00:08:43,799 --> 00:08:45,800
So yeah, I mean, I guess those
are our favorites, right?

172
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:47,920
I do agree.
I think the first one was good.

173
00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:50,040
It didn't hook me as much as I
wanted it to.

174
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:54,000
I enjoyed it, but I think as we
got to the second episode, it

175
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:56,000
was like, oh, I see what they're
doing, right?

176
00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:58,000
I see what they're doing.
And then it just connected.

177
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:01,720
So let's get to like, kind of
what, like does this connect to

178
00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:04,040
the MCU?
Like what is not the point, but

179
00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:06,440
like, how does it impact the
greater?

180
00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:10,320
And it does in a very surprising
way.

181
00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:14,320
And it connects to Killmonger,
which I think is arguably one of

182
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:16,640
the best villains that the MCU
has ever had.

183
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:19,200
So much so that they brought him
back in Wakanda forever.

184
00:09:19,560 --> 00:09:22,640
They keep coming back in like
what if and in an animation.

185
00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:27,160
But I just love that.
Like the whole point of the

186
00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:30,840
connection was they had to put
the artifact back so that way

187
00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:32,760
Wakanda found it in the British
Museum.

188
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:37,800
That led him to Wakanda to then
let T'challa open up Wakanda to

189
00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:39,760
the rest of the world instead of
being isolated.

190
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:44,520
So that way in the future they
could defeat the Horde because

191
00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:47,280
they helped the planet with the
technology.

192
00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:49,280
I thought that was so cool.
Yeah, I thought that was really

193
00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:54,040
cool too, because basically in
this last episode they weren't

194
00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:56,120
open up to the world.
And that's actually what ended

195
00:09:56,120 --> 00:10:01,040
up not only for the Horde
defeating Wakanda, but basically

196
00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:03,480
destroying Earth, right, was
because they never opened up.

197
00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:05,880
And so I thought it was really
clever that in this last

198
00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:10,000
episode, the eyes of Wakanda, at
least in my opinion, is this

199
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:13,920
last Panther traveling through
time, trying to find the one

200
00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:16,800
choice that's being made that
changes all of that.

201
00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:21,840
And so we actually see her
looking, watching very much the

202
00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:25,640
watcher esque but watching the
first 3 episodes.

203
00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:28,440
I wanted to I, I think when I
first started I was like, oh,

204
00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:30,040
let me see if I see the watcher
in the background.

205
00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:32,240
So if the actual watcher was in
it, because I know they like to

206
00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:33,880
throw them in there with the
animation.

207
00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:37,520
If you guys saw the watcher, let
us know because I didn't catch

208
00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:39,840
it.
But I do like that

209
00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:42,280
interpretation of like what the
eyes of Wakanda means, right,

210
00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:45,040
because I think that's a literal
interpretation.

211
00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:47,400
It could be like we're just
seeing history through these

212
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:50,360
people in Wakanda.
But I like that the in the end

213
00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:53,440
it was like she met up with all
of her characters and she was

214
00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:55,840
like, where did this deviate?
Like.

215
00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:57,680
That a lot.
And it turns out it was that

216
00:10:57,680 --> 00:11:00,360
axe, right?
And so something that I found

217
00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:02,440
interesting.
Again, correct me if I'm wrong

218
00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:05,560
because you are our human
encyclopedia of Marvel

219
00:11:05,560 --> 00:11:08,600
knowledge, but it seemed like
so.

220
00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:11,480
In the fourth episode, we meet
Tafari, who is a Prince of

221
00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:15,560
Wakanda and he is out with CUDA
and they are looking for this

222
00:11:15,560 --> 00:11:18,880
axe, right?
But it almost seemed like a

223
00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:22,720
Black Panther didn't exist in
that time yet.

224
00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:26,360
This is where it is interesting
because I mean once the

225
00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:29,360
heart-shaped herb is like used
to create back Panthers.

226
00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:33,680
I'm not too sure on the how far
back Black Panthers exist, but

227
00:11:33,680 --> 00:11:36,640
also remember the war dogs are
separate from Black Panther and

228
00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:39,280
royalty.
So like Black Panther exists,

229
00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:41,560
but I they're not the ones that
are going to go out and find

230
00:11:41,560 --> 00:11:44,600
these artifacts because they're
supposed to be covert.

231
00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:46,240
They're supposed to blend in and
everything.

232
00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:50,400
So having a Black Panther run
around it might tie it to

233
00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:52,000
Wakanda.
So I think that's the reasoning

234
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:55,840
why we didn't see a Black
Panther because Black Panther

235
00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:58,920
and best set and all of that it
that's all of their lineage.

236
00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:02,160
So like Black Panther exists.
I just think that they wanted to

237
00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:05,240
almost separate it and show more
of Wakanda than a black.

238
00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:09,440
Panther I I just thought it
seemed to me that Tafari and

239
00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:13,640
CUDA didn't recognize what a
Black Panther was well.

240
00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:16,800
Remember it's some of the future
so she looked like completely

241
00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:19,760
alien to them.
Even with them being so advanced

242
00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:23,760
like her, her outfit and armor
was a lot more futurist.

243
00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:25,200
That's true.
She was so cool though.

244
00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:30,800
I felt like she was really tall
and and royal and sleek and just

245
00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:32,920
took control of the situation
and fought like a bad.

246
00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:34,720
Ass I loved the hood that she
had.

247
00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:38,760
It's so good.
OK, so final thoughts watch it.

248
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:41,920
It's amazing.
We didn't go too deep into it

249
00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:44,160
because I feel like 1 they're
they're a little short, but also

250
00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:46,520
like go watch it.
I think it's really fun

251
00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:49,360
experience to see all of this
connect and some of the

252
00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:51,560
characters from one episode
being the next one, but like

253
00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:56,560
decades later, So I very much
enjoyed it.

254
00:12:56,560 --> 00:13:00,080
I I can't wait for what Marvel
Animation is going to do.

255
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:02,040
Yeah.
I think absolutely agree.

256
00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:04,880
Go watch it.
The animation is really cool.

257
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:07,840
It has a style all of its own,
which I think is awesome.

258
00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:11,640
I really love seeing the
juxtaposition of these ancient

259
00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:15,520
civilizations, but with these
Wakandan warriors who have just

260
00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:19,320
really cool either tools or
fighting techniques or whatever

261
00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:23,800
it is.
And I also think that just

262
00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:26,040
getting to know more of these
warriors is great.

263
00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:29,560
Expanding on Wakanda.
So just kind of taking Wakanda

264
00:13:29,560 --> 00:13:33,520
and seeing how it's existed and
how it has protected itself, but

265
00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:36,720
knowing that it ultimately does
need to become part of the world

266
00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:39,920
in order to survive is is
something that I don't think I

267
00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:41,800
ever thought of.
Yeah, well, good thing they did

268
00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:44,800
do that.
I do know that there was talks

269
00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:46,840
of Ryan Coogler, who's going to
be doing the third Black

270
00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:51,440
Panther, that apparently Marvel
Studios is very excited for what

271
00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:54,280
he has submitted so far.
And I'm very excited that

272
00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:57,240
they're excited.
So more Black Panther, more

273
00:13:57,320 --> 00:13:59,600
Wakanda, I think is never a bad
thing.

274
00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:00,760
Agreed.
Agreed.

275
00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:03,760
Now I'm thinking like oh are
they going to do a time jump is

276
00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:06,800
I mean super spoiler.
Is T'challa's son going to be

277
00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:08,720
old enough and be training to be
a Black Panther?

278
00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:11,520
What's going to happen?
Let's all remember, again, this

279
00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:13,400
is a conversation.
A greater conversation that

280
00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:16,160
we're going to be having as we
get closer to Doomsday and

281
00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:18,760
Secret Wars is that the MCU is
resetting.

282
00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:24,080
To what extent, I don't know,
but we'll see if any of the

283
00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:25,720
stuff carries over.
What they're going to pick and

284
00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:28,080
choose is Cherie's still going
to be the Black Panther going

285
00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:32,160
forward that will eventually
train to Charla's son or a time

286
00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:33,000
jump?
I don't.

287
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:34,240
I hope they don't do a time
jump.

288
00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:37,880
I think Cherie should be the
Black Panther going forward, at

289
00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:41,400
least until Secret Wars, because
I feel like we're kind of

290
00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:44,920
forever was very much her coming
into Black Panther and dealing

291
00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:48,360
with the loss of her brother.
I think if they took that away,

292
00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:52,880
it would one give those toxic
people the win.

293
00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:56,000
And also like I need more.
I want I want to know more, you

294
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:58,480
know?
So that's my thought on Black

295
00:14:58,480 --> 00:14:59,240
Panther 3.
So.

296
00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:02,520
We'll have to wait and see.
Yeah, All right, go watch it.

297
00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:04,400
Let us know what you think.
Until next time.

298
00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:05,120
Bye.
