The MCU has had a sort of pallor cast over it for two years now, ever since the world lost Chadwick Boseman. Director Ryan Coogler has grieved and mourned not only someone he had a critical working relationship with, but an incredibly dear friend. On top of that, before Chadwick's passing, Coogler had finished a script for his follow-up to the iconic behemoth that is Black Panther. So not only was he forced to grieve, but in choosing to go back to work on the sequel, he placed an impossible, entirely unenviable task upon himself: to make a Black Panther film absent of HIS Black Panther.

What we got as a result of this is Black Panther 2, and the fact that it manages to mostly work is almost a triumph, and if its main objective was to pay tribute to Chadwick Boseman, then in that respect the film succeeds in a massive way. It's been out for a few days now, and the reality is that it's going to take time to really come to terms with everything it has going on. It's not just a long, epic film, it's also a film that has a LOT to say about grief, and a lot of it is deeply profound, remorseful, and even cathartic.

But…and this is a big "but"...not everything here works. Despite Ryan Coogler’s passion, despite how this stands tall as one of the most clearly director-driven MCU films…it is still an MCU film nonetheless. And so, you’ve got tie-ins to other MCU properties that distract from the core of the film, you’ve got some tonal inconsistency, and you’ve also got character and story decisions that feel unmotivated beyond propelling the plot along and instigating the almost compulsory final battle. And when I first saw the film, those things really grated on me. But I’ve had about a week to think on it, and while the film’s issues are still, well…issues…I think I see some of the intent behind those decisions a little more clearly. So while Wakanda Forever is a mess, it's a beautiful mess and I can't quite say I'm in the Wakanda Forever is bad camp despite all the issues I have with it. Griffin (@griffschiller) gives you his Black Panther: Wakanda Forever review or Black Panther Wakanda Forever video essay and explains why black panther wakanda forever is almost great, Black Panther Wakanda Forever is a Beautiful Mess, why Black Panther Wakanda Forever is Broken, and The Problem with Black Panther Wakanda Forever.
