Lupita Nyong'o - Nakia

Summary

King T'Challa dies from an undisclosed illness.

One year later.

The United Nations pressure Queen Ramonda to share kingdom's vibranium, as some are attempting to take precious commodity by force.

In the Atlantic Ocean, the CIA use a detecting machine to locate a vibranium deposit, but the Na'vi, sorry, a group of blue-skinned, superhuman underwater warriors intervene.

Namor, ruler of Talokan (basically Atlantis), views the surface world as a threat to his people's safety and confronts Shuri and Ramonda, demanding they deliver machine's creator Riri Williams to him, or else.

Mid-credits

Nakia introduces wee lad Toussaint to Shuri, who reveals himself to be T'Challa's son.

Heart-shaped herb

Although succeeding as a moving tribute to Chadwick Boseman, this spectacularly fails on every other level.

Jesus Christ - it's so BORING.

Almost nothing happens during bloated running time and even third act sucks incredible ass.

Quality of CG stands out for the wrong reasons, and almost laughable when Namor starts jumping about and flying.

Huerta's villain is fucking useless and about as menacing as a dead slug.

Crafts steal the design of Dune's Ornithopters and Iron Man-esque exoskeleton bears an uncanny resemblance to Ultraman.

Disney+ series Ironheart is in development and will serve as a sequel.

Yay!
