Why Namor was right! Please support our channel by shopping our MERCH STORE Here → screencrushmerch.com/
Namor was one of the most compelling villains in the MCU. His backstory, goals, and society are completely relatable, and he also serves as a perfect counterpoint to Wakandan Society. In this video we break down the motivations of one of the greatest villains in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and how he can affect Black Panther 3 and the secret Avengers movies.

Ryan, as a Mayan descent, I am pretty proud of how you covered our history. The way you cover all sorts of history is well-informed, respectful, and filled with nuance. I'm in grad school and I'm working on a documentary on my people's history of Guatemala. The last couple of years were the first time I learned about the coup attempt in 1950 and the genocide in the 70s through 80s on the Mayans. My father fought in the last war, as well as some of my uncles. I'm still trying to wrap my head around the events. I'm in this place where I would want the US to announce an apology for the coup, but power never seems to be able to bestow itself any humility.

Truly these compounding government focused team up stories would be an awesome return to form for the MCU, and it seems like that is the direction they are going in, but tbh, we still have no real confirmation that this is the direction that Feige and the MCU will go in despite having dropped words like destabilization and referencing Brave New World and teasing Young Avengers. I guess I just don't have faith at this point that the MCU would deliver on anything close to a cohesive multi film narrative as awesome as this sounds. I feel that they might get close to teasing all of this, but since channels like Screencrush already called it, Feige or the individual directors/showrunners will want to change it to something else to maintain some sort of element of surprise, and then those changes result in another Secret Invasion level story where everything is watered down and tame compared to the potential epicness that they set up and could've delivered on. I guess only time will tell!

Most the villains are always right, from KillMonger to Ultron. The only problem is, they go to “extremes” with their point. Namor was right but he wanted the WRONG ppl dead & wanted a child dead, instead of just finding another way to have her not make the machine.

@dellytancyl524 7 ай бұрын

In all fairness, with Riri out of the picture, anyone wanting a vibranium detector would have to start from scratch. Remember, the government didn't bother to take the time to understand how her machine works, they just took her prototype directly into the field. Even Shuri was surprised to see the machine because she also didn't think such a device was possible. so no Riri Williams, no detector. Namor had the right idea, even if the ethics of it is questionable.

It would have been great to see him in his character arc all the way from Incredible Hulk through Civil War and to the Thunderbolts and beyond.

It's not "special Wakandan tech stuff"; the plant from Talokan, and the herb found by Bashenga aren't the same thing. They even make the point of calling it "98%", so it's simply "almost" the same thing. That small difference is likely made up by something unique to the Talokan plant, namely the healing factor that has their warriors getting up from stabbings, and surviving bullet attacks (while killing them when hit by sonic weaponry, the same type of sonic knowledge that makes Vibranium inert for transport). That bit of healing factor will likely be present for every other person to consume the "almost" Heart-shaped Herb going forward (unless the OG herb eventually sprouts again in the burned garden

This opened my eyes to some of the movies' nuances. When Shuri said "This will mean war" I found that statement weird the first time. I thought "You getting kidnapped already meant war was likely. Why are you surprised?" But now that I look back, I see that she wasn't just NOT kidnapped, but she was also genuinely connecting with Namor there. She saw the bigger picture that Riri was involved in and was doing good as a political leader to understand Namor and his people. I also see that this whole mess between Wakanda and Talokan was founded more on a misunderstanding and miscommunication than anything else. I genuinely think that if Shuri had more time and Queen Ramonda understood the situation better, a peaceful solution could've been found. They may have even become genuine allies. But that one misunderstanding regarding Shuri's disappearance led to an absolute cascade of horrible events and, eventually, war.

@MillusWesker 7 ай бұрын

Great video. Namor is definitely up on current events, in an early draft of the script it is explained Talokan developed their own optic fiber technology, allowing them to intercept outside communications and in the movie, it is also stated he visits the surface every now and then. His actions are indeed based on his experience by having observed humanity destroy and oppress others for hundreds of years. I think the MCU's portrayal of Namor and the potential for exploring the rich cultural lore and complexity surrounding his character provide an exciting opportunity for storytelling and world-building. I can't wait to see what will Namor's next move will be in future movies or even a standalone project of his own.

Unfortunately, I think we all can see that the MCU just isn't capable to tell a story this good anymore. They don't have (or rather, would likely not invest in) the organization skills, the writing talent, the directorial talent, nor the political will to pull off a multifilm story arc of this magnitude...

This is an absolutely AMAZING video!! Well done on setting the history right on the Mayan culture, I never knew some of these things. Mayans and people of color have the exact same history. :(

I know this is necromancy on an old video from 6 days ago but its the first MCU one I saw... A cool fact about MCU -- THIS OCTOBER 2023 is when Avengers: Endgame "takes place" By most estimates, Oct 3rd is when Scott Lang suddenly reappears and by Oct 17th the Battle of Earth is in full-swing You or maybe MT should do a video discussing it/revisting Endgame

Also, Nakia should have just let Shuri try to help but nope, left them there to die

Atlantis is actually a very old Egyptian myth about a non-Egyptian people that the Egyptians were aware of in their ancient past. Plato learned the story while he was a student in Egypt. He wrote it and embellished it in Greek when he returned from Egypt. So no Atlantis is not European, it's not even originally a European myth. No one knows who the Atlantis were or if they ever existed at all. However, Plato placed it off the African coast

This is the "State of the MCU" that should have been presented after "End Game" by K. Feige! Would have made Phase 4 make complete sense! Thanks for the great content!

Sir, as a minority/African American I really really appreciate your attention to the current zeitgeist. As we all enjoy these “stories” I appreciate that you acknowledge current times and colonization, oppression etc. thanks. From my heart I mean that thank you.

This is a broader and more generous interpretation of the film than I've seen elsewhere and gives me a deeper and more nuanced appreciation of this telling of the Wakanda/Namor relationship. The MCU still tried to cram too much into the movie by introducing Iron Heart here. I'm surprised your review leaves out the historical reality of human sacrifice among the Mayans, which perhaps levels the Mayans with other cultures in as much corruption abounds, even as respective beauty abounds among cultures--from colonizers to the colonized.

My hypothesis is that there will be no Young Avenger movie, but these characters will be the ones that, as adults, will defeat Kang in Secret Wars.

This is actually "low key" one of the best videos that Screen Crush has made. Simple, clear, honest, candid reveal of motivations and being honest about the wickedness of imperialism and wester interests. Yes, the nuanced complexity of Wakanda Forever was its main saving grace. Because the Riri character introduction and so-called development was really trash, smh. Great work. Please keep up the amazing work.

Wouldn't it be more moral for Namor to kidnap her instead of killing her… That way she could at least survive and create fancy technology for his people
