      "Why do you have your toes out in my lab??" 🤣 "The old American movie Baba used to watch" is a reference to Back to the Future with Michael J. Fox. #WakandaForever

      Okoye, T'Challa and Nakia are wearing red, black, & green. Intentional by costume designer @iamruthecarter. Okoye mentions that her wig/hair is a disgrace, in part because her status as General is displayed by the tattoo on her head. Her bald head was the power. #WakandaForever

      Note how Nakia fights with her bare feet, using her shoe as a weapon. How none of them have guns. It's the juxtaposition of tradition vs technology that we will see throughout the film. Recall that Nakia also feels comfortable driving barefoot. #WakandaForever

      "Great. Another broken white boy for us to fix. This is going to be fun." Obviously Shuri is referencing Bucky as the other "broken white boy" who we will see at the very end of the film, post credits. #WakandaForever

      T'Challa: And the child? Zuri: We left him. We had to maintain the lie. What a difference it would have made had they brought Erik home to Wakanda. #WakandaForever

      "Don't scare me like that, colonizer!" is THEEEE comedic line of the film for me. Note how Shuri's eyes light up when she finds how Ross is interested in her tech. She's a teen and happy to show off her intelligence & skill. #WakandaForever

          Notice that this is happening at sunset, unlike T'Challa's battle with M'Baku. The sun is setting on T'Challa's time as king. Again, look at the physicality of this role. This may have been done with green screens, but that's Chadwick's body. Fighting cancer. #WakandaForever

          "I'm not a spy who can come and go as they choose." That was Okoye throwing shade at Nakia. #WakandaForever

          "No tears for me?" "Everybody dies. It's just life around here." "Well look at what I've done." This was SO much. #WakandaForever

          Michael B Jordan filmed Creed and Black Panther nearly back to back. He talked about how he wanted a different body type, though they were both warriors. #WakandaForever

          This fight scene. Most filmmakers find it very hard to find Black stunt doubles. Part of it is they are often Union jobs and if you cannot get your first job, you can't get in the Union. So often... white people are used as stunt doubles. In blackface. So... #WakandaForever

          Director Ryan Coogler said we weren't going to have white folks in blackface as stunt doubles in Black Panther. Instead of professional stunt doubles, many of the Dora Milaje are dancers, gymnasts, athletes, who were trained to fight & wield spears. #WakandaForever

          Nakia did not want to wear the Dora Milaje uniform. It's part of why she became a spy. She never wanted to be part of the Order. That's why she hesitated. But her body would've been unprotected otherwise. #WakandaForever

          This fight scene between Killmonger and T'Challa within the mountain. Some say It is an allegory to the Underground Railroad. #WakandaForever

          Shuri the teenager, in the middle of battle, still having to give Ross the colonizer specific directions is.... a lot. "I made it American for you." He was helpful tho. #WakandaForever

          "Kid from Oakland running around believing in fairy tales." This line referenced Killmonger, but it also referenced screenwriter Joe Robert Cole and screenwriter/director Ryan Coogler. #WakandaForever

          Young brotha here you'll recognize as Alex Hibbert, Little from @moonlightmov, and Kevin from @SHOTheChi. Note the line: "Who are you?" We heard that throughout the film. It was a question that T'Challa and Killmonger had to answer. And a perfect way to end. #WakandaForever

          Of course, you don't leave a Marvel film until the lights come up. There is ALWAYS a bonus scene. In Black Panther, there are two. @IkireJones designed the scarf T'Challa wears in this scene. And look how they underestimate Wakanda as "farmers." #WakandaForever

          The final scene. We see Bucky healthy, brought back by Shuri. "Much more for you to learn." Thank you @MayaRupert for organizing our live tweet! It was so needed. #WakandaForever RIP Chadwick Boseman
