Midway through the first act of Wakanda Forever, Ryan Coogler’s follow-up to 2018’s Marvel blockbuster Black Panther, the action breaks for a parley session.
The last time we visited Wakanda, T’Challa had ended years of isolationism by revealing the secret of the nation’s prosperity and technology in the spirit of diplomacy. Suddenly, governments that once dismissed the country as “third world” were overly interested in the vibranium that fuelled those advances. The big question now is who will fill his shoes and become the next Black Panther.
The internet rioted when Martin Scorsese dismissed Marvel’s movies, comparing them to theme parks and lamenting the lack of real stakes. The director’s assessment was overly harsh, but it contains a grain of truth: Superhero stories allow for narratives that reject logic, physics and history in service of spectacle. Yet films like Coogler’s strive for a balance between craft and the diversions of CGI explosions and choreographed fights.
