Hey guys! Just so you all are aware, I’m not skipping any of the Marvel shows! Ms. Marvel, She-Hulk, and Werewolf will all be reacted to! They will just be on Patreon! KZfaq voted they didn’t want to see Ms. Marvel, but the Patrons get access to everything! ❤❤

Fun fact: In the original script Ryan Coogler wrote before Chadwick’s passing, it was a father son story. The black panther got blipped out in infinity war before he knew he was having a son. The movie would’ve taken place shortly after he got back and found out he has a 5 year old son.

Tragically one of the few movies where people don't have to act like they lost someone.

You could literally hear a fly pass gas during that marvel opening in the theaters. It definitely shed a tear

It’s a carrot, not a meat stick. Gotta remember, the Jabari tribe are vegetarians

That opening in the theaters was absolute silence. Everyone was crying in my theater and it was an experience like no other

The reason the soldiers etc are walking off the ship is because of the Atlanteans hypnotic singing. It's a nod to the old legends of sirens and mermaids luring men to their deaths with their singing.

I LOVE that this movie knew it wouldn't be the same without T'chala/Chadwick, and they used that absence as part of the story. It's a really hard hitting movie.

I was not expecting to binge watch your entire channel but here I am, 10 videos in....thanks Alex.

Angela basset screaming “haven’t I given everything” gives me insta tears. So god damn good

Watching this movie actually felt like a massive group therapy for all the MCU fans to deal with the passing of Chadwick. Every line felt like they were really talking about Chadwick and not T’Challa. We were all experiencing that grief along with the characters and by the end of the film it felt like we got closure. Not a dry eye in the theater. 😢

I think the weirdest part about losing someone you love is, as you said, those anniversaries and birthdays and stuff sneak up on you. And 5 or 10 years later, you'll wake up one morning and just feel like absolutely garbage all day with no clue why, until you finally remember what day it is

I was choked up within two minutes and had tears running down my face by the title card at six minutes. I appreciate so deeply that they gave this to us fans so we could mourn both T'challa and Chadwick as a fan base.

We saw Toussant earlier. When Queen Ramonda entered the school, three children ran up to her.

one little detail i really like is that the Talokanil are only blue when they're *not* underwater. Because they get oxygen through the water, so when they're on land they're not getting as much as they're used to. In the comics, when Shuri became black panther, her costume had a big fur collar, and I kinda wish the movie used that too. I think it would've looked badass on her suit.

The last few moments with Shuri letting her brother go made me cry so hard. It really hits the grieving process of losing someone you love.

I'm not sure what you mean by the film not "hitting as a hard" without Chadwick, I actually feel like the way they did it (centering the film around his passing) was a phenomenal choice and "hit hard." People said they would have liked a recast to continue T'Challa's story, and some said they should not continue, and some even said to write him out but not have him pass--but I think the way they handled it was just so beautiful. It didn't feel like he "wasn't there"--it felt like he *was,* in every scene. So rare for a film to capture that feeling, actually portraying a legacy lingering over people's heads without just saying that's what's happening. You really feel it here, in every shot, and the fact that the movie is even remotely good (saying this for effect, I think it's actually VERY good lol) despite all of the trouble they faced with his passing is a testament to how much they cared about him as a person, and not just the character.

I’ve somewhat recently became a father, my boy is 2. Unfortunately it didn’t work out with me and his mom. That happened a little before this movie came out. When I see his son sit down with Shuri, and even without really knowing his Dad he shows a clear love and admiration for him. Brings me to tears every time. Probably just getting way too personal and divulging too much, but I know I struggled with the idea of not being there always when my boy needs me. Or the fear of something happening to him when I could’ve been there to prevent it. Or the fear of something happening to me so I’m not here to protect him at all. So seeing that reality of him having a son, and the great Black Panther isn’t their to protect him. It just really hits for me.

12:08 Funny you said that bc RiRi Williams aka 'Iron heart' is Tony's protegee in the comics. She had to be introduced here bc they completely ignored her character arc. Tony and Riri basically had the relationship the MCU gave to tony and peter.

In the comics Riri made an Iron Man suit out of spare parts. Tony found out about it and contacted her. He mentored her for a while. She called herself Iron Heart which is the name of her Disney+ series that's coming.

My god I have to stop myself from crying at both the beginning and the end. Truly one of the most emotional experiences the mcu has ever made and I’m glad we got to celebrate Chadwick’s legacy and grieve. This movie reminded me why I love marvel, they can get me to care about anything.

Yeah the intro in theaters was unbelievably silent. It was so sad. Literally no one moved to drink soda or eat popcorn for 5+ mins. I cried.

In my opinion, this was really a pretty strong way to wrap up Phase 4. Much stronger than the previous movie, Love and Thunder. Thor 4 had it's moments, but the more I think about it the more I dislike it because of the over saturation of the jokes and bits like the screaming goats. I think even Chris Hemsworth isn't fully satisfied with the final product either since he commented afterwards that if he got to do another movie he would like to try going in a different direction. Got a bit side tracked, but Wakanda Forever is a touching tribute and way to establish Shuri as the next Black Panther. I'm interested to see if M'Baku will also receive the heartshaped herb and become another Black Panther. I'm looking forward to seeing these characters again in the future of the MCU.

Hey, Alex, if you wanna continue Marvel Mondays then please watch the X-Men movies from Fox (different company that made marvel movies that weren’t with Marvel Studios/Disney until a few years ago when Disney bought Fox.) Please continue marvel Mondays, Alex! It’s a need for us!

Ree-Ree's super-hero name is "Iron-Heart", and in the comics she was Stark's protogée before Stark died. So the similar visual elements are on purpose.

30:19 this movie actually won OSCAR for costume design ! Ruth carter the legend is behind all this. This was her 2 nd oscar . 1 st oscar was for the same category for black panther 1

Wakanda Forever was the perfect sequel to the first one. From an artistic stand point it is a much better film than the original film and has some of the best acting ever in the MCU. Letitia Wright and Angela Bassett were incredible. It was hard to watch at first without Chadwick but Ryan Coogler does a very good job that although he isn't physically on screen, his presence is constantly felt throughout the movie. Namor was an excellent villain too and the soundtrack rocks in every way. A solid film and well within my top 10 MCU films.

I cried thru out the movie when we saw it in theaters. As a Latina it was beautiful seeing Namor and his people. ❤ 😢

I actually got to see ( not really meet ) Chadwick Bozeman in person when I took a trip with my show choir to New York in high school. I think I was 16 or 17 back then and it was absolutely amazing seeing the King of Wakanda in person.

“Tony would love her!” My eye is twitching bc that’s literally Iron Heart and her AI is Tony Stark 🥺🥺😭😭😭

This movie doesn’t get enough love & respect, it pulls off so much in the face of what could’ve broken the Black Panther franchise. I’m glad the chose not to recast Chadwick & instead honor him throughout the film, while introducing a new T’challa, his son, who can eventually carry on his legacy, which I think is the most respectful way to continue these stories

Really hope you jump back onto the shows because they're just as fun and you get to meet new and awesome characters.

I've had that moment. My grandma died almost 2 years ago and sometimes i still wear her jacket just to feel close to her when i miss her💯💯

I feel like the only one who absolutely LOVED this movie. From art direction, score, set design, costume design, performances, and the way it tackles questioning one faith, it totally knocked it out of the park for me. It's #5 on my top MCU movies (behind Endgame, Infinity War, Guardians 1, and Winter Soldier).

“Smoking a joooiii-jjjelllyy sandwich” 😂 nice reaction man! This movie was so powerful and meaningful rip to the legend Chadwick🙌

Wow… wasn’t expecting the Wakanda Forever reaction so soon… this movie definitely was a difficult one for the creators to make based on what happened to Chadwick, but I think they went the best route in order to honor him and move forward with the legacy of the character. Such a great film in my opinion… Also, I’m hoping people haven’t told you to skip Ms.Marvel and She-Hulk… cause I feel like people did. If they did, I recommend still watching them, especially since MsMarvel plays heavily into something that happens in a film that comes out later on this year, and since SheHulk has a surprise I’m excited for you to see… plus they are good and fun shows

watch Werewolf by Night and Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special. They're one of the best projects in phase 4!

Shuri's AI was voiced by Trevor Noah

Opening scene: T'Challa's funeral. Result: Emotional damage. Closing credits: Rihanna singing "Lift Me Up" to a T'Challa montage. Result: Emotional destruction.

watch Werewolf By Night next

My dad gave me many moments but my biggest mistake was not letting him in...and then he died...7 years later now today...it hurts everyday...cause i just want to talk to him and tell him everything and he isn't there. and that hurts everyday. only people who lost things can relate to death like really. And this movie made me cry made happy...made me excited in some parts. And in way thought me to just let go of somethings in life and move on.

Every time I see this movie and when I see Chadwick I start tearing up, Rest in Peace Chadwick Wakanda Forver 🙅

The end scene hit so freaking hard. I still choke up on it now

My boy Alex with the perfect pronunciation of the “Yibambe” chant 😂🔥🙌🏾. Xhosa is my home language

It still pisses me off that Angela Bassett did not get the Oscar

My week has now been saved! 🙌🏾💜🖤 Also, about the positive or negative motivations from teachers or people. I’ll be honest I’m not happy where I’m at and words can make an impact on someone as it did for me. Honestly, the same negativity still haunts and clouds my mind a lot so I’m for positive motivations.

Great review. I hated that they killed the Queen, but loved the movie. There were lots of sniffles in the theater at the beginning.

The reason its’s slower is because they have to tell a whole new story and give you the exposition and back story not the new characters. We were introduced to Black Panther in Civil War and we didn’t have to go into a lot of the character development to understand why the motivations behind the characters actions. Even with Kilmonger they were able to give us simple explanation for his motivations and we all understood his assignment. Where as with this movie you aren’t only getting to learn the motivations of a new antagonist, you’re getting to learn the motivations of a new protagonist. Plus this isn’t an action movie, it’s a movie about grieve with a little action added

I think we need both positive and negative reinforcement(someone to doubt us) a healthy is balance is key. Proving someone that doubts you wrong and showing them just what you're made of is a GREAT motivator, however we also need positivity from other sources.

Yeah this is an excellent movie with rather perfect tributes ... but some walls can't be overcome , and losing Chadwick is one of those . Still i'm so glad they did not recast T'challa , it would have "failed" to hit even more than the movie we got . And oddly as a comics fan , a major Black Panther and T'challa comics fan , some part of me wishes the character was still around , even without Chadiwk Boseman , but it just would not work the same for the movies . Moving on is the only solution ... till someday maybe , his kid grow up to be a good substitute yet character of his own , as T'challa Jr .

This movie is really sad, but genuinely one of my favorite Marvel movies!!

Original script was Tchala and his son would be going on a father-son adventure. Unfortunately, the script completely changed due to Chadwick's passing, but instead, Tchallas son was used nicely to honor Chadwick

I can’t show my appreciation for this movie enough for how it handles grief. Having lost my brother and my mom just three months apart, I can attest that deep losses like that will absolutely change you. They show all the stages of grief excellently, and it was a really good movie overall. Great reaction as always Alex! 🤘

Wait..are you skipping Ms. Marvel, She-Hulk, and Werewolf by Night??

I really didn't like the Riri character. Other than that it was a decent movie. I'm looking forward to the rise of the prince!

The perfect tribute to Chadwick. He would have loved this movie. And he would be happy that the crew and cast made this movie not just for the fans and viewers but also for him as a tribute. Rest In Peace Chadwick Boseman. Wakanda Forever.

It made me cry honestly. It was a beautiful tribute.

I still cry so ugly about Chadwick. Rest in peace, fuck cancer.

All i need to say is that when the movie ended I just cried and cried and cried and cried and cried and cried and cried and cried and cried cried and cried and cried and i am STILL CRYING. RIP Chad 🖤♾️ 🕊️ legend. Our Inspiration . ❤ Wakanda forever 🕊️ You are and will always be Missed ❤️❤️

Shuri went through all 5 stages of grief and it’s rare to see a film depicting that so well. I cried at least 5 times because of her alone.

Just found you yesterday and have been watching your videos! It was meant to be because I love you energy and your reactions to my favorite movies❗

I just happen to live in Chadwick’s hometown of Anderson, South Carolina. this man has done so much for the kids & local communities here. Wakanda Forever, My King 🤴🏿🙅🏼‍♂️ also, Namor was bad ass, can’t wait to see him more

Bro the funny edits kill me. Much love, keep up the good work

Nice reaction as always buddy. But I'm not so sure if I can agree with your opinion that Ryan Gosling should play Black Panther in the future tho.

I can definitely vibe with you on the fear in water It used to be sharks till I learned they're just the oceans dogs Now it's alligators Sharks don't wanna eat you, but sometimes can take a nibble thinking you're something else Alligators and crocs will go out of their way to kill a man I'm scared of one day realising they're in the water near me

Glad you're watching this, sad the internet convinced you to skip Ms. Marvel as it's easily one of the better MCU shows. I leave with this: don't skip the Werewolf or the Guardians holiday specials.

The reason Namur has pointy ears, winged feet and isnt blue is because not only was he effected by his peoples flower but he's also a Mutant, the girl u said Tony would like is actually his um successor IronHeart

i just wanted to say thank you alex, i had a pretty shitty day and it was nice to come home and see a new video. thanks dude

This movie hit hard at the beginning and the end. I was a little disappointed that it took so long to Black Panther. I hope that Shuri continues as the character, but I look forward to Prince T'Challa II to come forward and be Black Panther.

This movie wrecked me emotionally. So many upsetting moments knowing that Chadwick really has died. I was a sobbing mess at times.

Great reaction as always. Love your humor Alex🤣

Thank you Alex for your reactions. You have an awesome attitude and you make me laugh a lot.

i was literally so bored looking for any reaction, started reacting to some romantic movie 😭 Thank you !!!🔥💯

Most of the theater reaction for this movie was just quiet sobbing. All you could hear was people sniffling and crying throughout the whole thing. It was definitely an emotional experience.

The opening for this movie was so so beautiful in both a cinematic and tribute sense. The theater was silent. Everyone was crying. And it was what we needed to fully close the chapter on Chadwick’s passing. However, I completely agree with you that I did not enjoy the movie as much as the first one. This movie was fantastic and a great introduction to a whole new race of people but I did not feel as connected to shuri as a character as I was to T’challa. Quick things about Namor and his kingdom of Talokan. In the comics Namor is the king of Atlantis but this was changed to represent the heritage and culture of the actor! Namor is a classic antihero. If the issue at hand does not benefit him and Talokan, he is not interested in helping. And if the issue at hand will harm Talokan then he will be your enemy. He very rarely does things for the greater good so I think it will be interesting to have such a powerful nation that lives in such a grey area moving forward in the MCU. How are underwater scenes filmed? There are a few different ways. Sometimes they are just straight up underwater. But that rare. To do them with practical effects, they use zero gravity chambers to get that floating feel and so hair looks more realistic. There’s also obviously a lot of cgi involved. And depending on the composition of the scene, it could entirely be cgi. Okay! So the iron man shots!!! The character of Riri Williams that we met is also known as Iron Heart. Yes heavily influenced by Iron man. She studies at MIT which is Tony’s alma mater. Also if you remember in Captain America: Civil War, Tony funds ALL student projects at the beginning of the film. It’s highly likely that he funded many more over the years and was the biggest supporter of the grants that helped fund the student projects. So no only was tony an inspiration for what Riri builds but he basically paid for her to do what she loves. She will be getting her own Disney+ series I think next year (it could’ve been pushed back but it is on the docket) That’s all! Can’t wait for antman!!

your commentary is so freaking hilarious 😂😂 love it

FUn fact Ri RI Williams actually auditioned for Shuri in the first black panther !!!!!

RE: the suits looking like a combo of the two previous suits - Back in Black Panther, there were three suits she offered to her brother. He liked one. Killmonger took a second. She's wearing the third. They set that choice up, way back then. Not realizing that it would mean THIS when it happened.

23:04 something I noticed during the premiere of Wakanda Forever is during Nakia & Okoye’s really emotional scene, you can see people walking normally & then water flowing on the ground before the attack, I just love Ryan Coogler’s attention to detail on this entire movie

What i feel like many have missed is how in that scene where Shuri showed mercy towards Namor, she was using T'challa's line "Yield for your people, your people need you" when he first won his battle for the throne against M'baku.

"Oh great! She un-stabbed herself!" 🤣 Classic Mr. Goochman right there! I managed to catch this on opening night in the cinema. It was probably the most intense cinema experience ever (next to Endgame, of course). So incredibly emotional. And I don't think i've ever heard a screening so quiet and respectful. Just amazing! I really hope you haven't let the trolls and haters put you off watching Ms. Marvel and She-Hulk. Especially when you're this close to catching up with us on the MCU. If they have, maybe you'd wanna watch and film them, and if you don't hate them as much as you expect, then consider editing and posting them? It seems such a shame that you're 30 properties into a franchise and you miss a couple just because of other people's opinions. I hope you reconsider. With that said, keep it coming my dude. You're so close to being up to date. Congrats! Catch you for Quantumania

alex, i told you in your earlier videos that you gotta remember Valentina the one who made John Walker the US Agent and who told Yelena in the post credits of Black Widow that clint killed natasha and in this movie, she was the ex. she is gonna come back with Bucky, Yelena, Alexie (Red Guardian), Ghost (villian of Ant Man 2) in the movie The Thunderbolts

Unequivocally my favorite movie of phase 4. It capped it off so well with a moving message and tribute to Chadwick. I love Coogler's direction with Wakanda and how it's presented in the larger MCU.

Fun fact: in the comics Riri Williams gaslighted her professor into telling her she couldn’t do it so she could prove him wrong for fun

It’s fun to watch you question things, knowing the comics gives me a bit more insight so it’s nice to see someone who (assuming) hasn’t read very many (from your questions is where I get my data) react to things we’ve seen coming for a minute

One of my absolute marvel favorites! I loved how they handled it! ❤

This entire movie is about grief and loss. The heroes and villains. The movie just keeps turning grief over and looking at another side of it.

As always another great Marvel reaction! I brought a tissue box when I saw this movie opening weekend! I knew I was going to be crying my eyes out… and I did! The opening scene was so beautiful, and I felt that it was appropriate to give him the celebration of life and continue with the story. It truly went with the theme of grief; life moves on, even when we are not ready for it to move on. I thought the son at the end was also a perfect touch, because there was so much debate about should BP be recast or make Shuri the new BP. All in all it was a good movie, however the first one does still holds a big place in my heart, and like you said it is not the same without Chadwick.

I respect your choice to save some of the marvel stuff for the paying Patreons. Although I am not a supporter on there, I get it. Make that paper, bro! This movie was very emotional. That opening funeral/celebration of life just hit me right in the damn feels LOL and then the after credit scenes with Prince T'challa, OMG that was a moment where I was sad, but filled with so much joy I could not help but tear up and let the water fall from my face. Such a beautiful scene. Rest In Power, King! I remember the internet was split in half with fans wanting T'Challa recast, and those who didn't. I think that was the perfect recasting choice for T'Challa that both parties could get behind. Great reaction, bro!

You rock Alex, your Reactions are priceless!!!

Bro totally skipped she-hulk and Ms Marvel 😭

Dude I can't help to notice you missed the fact that Namor was born a mutant and that his home is Atlantis and the funny thing it is not a city It's a continent so Namor is not exaggerating about any thing he said he has a lot more warriors than Wakanda. And remember most of the planet is under water and humans depend a lot on the Sea and Oceans.

This movie is also a Tribute for Chadwick Boseman aka T'Challa Black Panther and yes it's has a Happy ending with Spoiler alert T'Challa has a son with Lupita Nyong'o Character in the film as keep secret. That means Shuri will have to be the new Black Panther and add a Nephew T'Challa 2nd.

6:06 Dude, what is it? A shark.. 😆😆

I really enjoyed it and loved the movie it definitely isn't the same without Chadwick but still a great movie, I was keeping it together till the end part when it flashes back to show Chadwick in the previous scenes and then when T'Chalas son is brought is where I finally broke and started crying

Trying to hold back the sobs during the moment of silence. This whole movie was amazing and a great way to honor Chadwick

Don't have the patron but I still love what you do for the videos for us. And I love the music in the intro n outro

Great reaction Alex mate 💯👍👍👍

Ms Marvel!

this movie is definitely about loss and grief and to me the most heartbreaking thing about losing a loved one is the fact that i'll never be able to talk to them ever again until i die more than likely. its such a simple notion because thats what happens when someone dies but yet it's such a complex emotion to struggle with nd it's deep and it hurts the soul especially for people that didn't deserve to go :(
