“...Gurira beat out Avengers: Infinity War’sChris Hemsworth,Jurassic World star Chris Pratt, Deadpool 2’sRyan Reynolds, and her Black Panther co-star, Chadwick Boseman, for the honor.”
“Thank you for affirming that women and girls, when they are given the chance to hang with the boys, can hang with the best of them…”
This is big ya’ll. Like really big.
Holy shit? 🔥👏🏾
She went against Marvel Universe and won. A queen
YES.
She deserved it 💯
Damn straight she beat Chris Hemsworth. No fucking contest.
There is a reason this is the last scene in which Okoye appears before the credits roll. It speaks volumes about the power black women possess. Seeing anyone, let alone a black man, submit to a black woman on screen in this way is a rarity.
Gurira thinks the message in that scene is vital for everyone, especially women and girls.
“You expect to use your love for me and our love for each other to actually get me to betray my nation, and I would kill you first. I love that,” she said. “I think women don’t often get to portray that sort of nobility and that sort of integrity, especially [choosing that] over their love.” – Danai Gurira on The Scene™
the thing i love about t’challa wasn’t just that he took killmonger to see the sunset, it was that he was in tears as he listened to killmonger’s story – that he was arguing that killmonger wouldn’t exist if t’chaka had simply shown compassion, that he understood the black panthers of the past had maybe been wrong. you can feel his empathy for people, and why it makes him the black panther whose story is being told; the most special thing about him isn’t his powers, or his suit, because there were black panthers generations before him. his fighting skill isn’t revolutionary – he gets beaten. the thing that made him special was that he has a big heart. t’challa is a good person. genuinely, a great one.
and that he listens and can change his mind.
He did the same thing in the end of Civil War, when he talked to Zemo and realized he was wrong about Bucky. T’Challa will be the first to admit when he, as an individual or as the throne he represents, is wrong, and when he realizes he is wrong or a mistake has been made he actively works to correct it as best he can. He shows compassion for his enemies – that’s clear even when he was challenged by M’Baku. And that compassion is his greatest strength, because it allows him to turn his potential enemies into allies.
IT JUST BOILS DOWN TO WHAT TYPE OF VILLAIN MOST PEOPLE WILL CONSIDER ‘BEST’ AND A COOL, WITTY, RELATABLE AND UNDERSTANDABLE VILLAIN WHO HAPPENS TO ALSO BE ATTRACTIVE WILL WIN THOSE NUMBERS EVERY TIME it’s just human nature!
Also, Thanos ended up being incredibly lame and Markus & McFeely’s attempts to make him “sympathetic” went over like a lead balloon.
