blackpanthermcuCross-posting my Day 3 entry for snowflake_challenge. The prompt was to talk about your favourite piece of canon, and, well, I just had a lot of squee and feeeeelings for my son:
Do you sometimes think about how it's most probably Erik Killmonger's first ever time in Wakanda, and it's such an idyllic moment: the countryside mellowed by the afternoon sun, and all around him for metres just Wakandan grass gently swaying (maybe a hello, maybe something else), and he's dragging a body, and he's Almost There. If I had to choose between this scene and another favourite scene where he walks up to the throne whilst the camera tilted, I'm going with his landing on Wakanda. The first touch, so to speak. The first whiff, the first breath, the first sight. So tranquil, so idyllic. Juxtaposed with a body being dragged and Erik's single-minded expression. SO PERFECT. I love it so much.

A true problematique fave. :')
What about you? What are your favourite scenes or just scenes you enjoyed from the movie?

That Oakland scene with T'Challa and Shuri, tho :') The soundtrack in that scene :') It's so...hopeful? And a perfect track for the last scene.
Also, what do you think about how T'Challa doesn't answer on-screen the kid's question on who he is? I remember reading a take on how it circles back to Iron Man 1, being the 10-year anniv and all, and how it signals that at this point in time MCU has come a long way and will come a long way further and has much more to give. /feels
