We then get a small scene with King T'Chaka that becomes relevant later in the film.

Let's go.īlack Panther opens, in the only way I think it could have, with a prologue sequence providing a brief rundown on the history of Wakanda, I'm not sure if the film needed something like this, as all that is shown in this sequence is either established or implied later in the film, but I guess when you're establishing and entire country's history and culture for the first time, an easy explainer would prove useful. I went into this film with the same mindset that I went into Wonder Woman with last year, cautiously optimistic, but more than a little concerned that it would be, to put it bluntly, SJW garbage, but also like Wonder Woman, and much to my relief, it's not. The politicisation of this film has almost made me anxious to watch it, what with the usual ideologue journos and Twatters treating it like it's the second coming of Jesus Christ, the most important and impactful film to ever be released, and castigating all who dare be critical of it with the harshest terms.

Here's what you need to know the sudden death of the King has thrust T'Challa into assuming his place as ruler of Wakanda, a vast city of wealth and technology hidden away in the Jungles of Africa.
