Marvel wins again>>>>>
Listen to your cousin Playa.
Go to the theatre, pay that money, see it with fans friends family...
This is it in one word...
Happy.
Death destruction betrayal violence dark...
But it was happy. It was for us, they made a movie for US.
What more you want? It's not perfect but who was looking for that.
I just saw black panther on a big screen 3d packed theatre and got teary eyed.
^^^^ Same here. Just saw it too. In IMAX 3D.
Before I even talk about the movie itself... Black Panther is BEAST.
He was giving out 'that WoRK' to the Winter Soldier & Captain America... At the same damn time.
For those of you were worried about Black Panther character..... Marvel did right by him.
And Chadwick Boseman absolutely KILLED IT.
From his regal composure & acting... to his serious side.. And his vengeful side... to his action scenes & fighting stunts.. to the Wakandan Technology... Right Down to his ACCENT... Which sounded very natural & not forced....
They really nailed the Black Panther.
Big salute.
Love how he always lands on his feet with deathly silence. Compared to everyone else, he was always like a cotton ball hitting the ground.
The Russo Brothers paid great attention to detail. Outstanding.![]()
^^^ I do not speak African, but I was hoping someone on BGOL would pinpoint the exact dialect.How many people realized he and his dad where speaking Zulu .

Thanks for the info.
This wasn't Will Smith trying to sound African.
Boseman's accent (and his Zulu) sounded very authentic to me.
Hopefully others will be able to verify also, after they see the movie.
Black Panther's language: Where Civil War found the words of Wakanda
Black Panther … speaks!
But how, exactly?
As the hero king of Wakanda makes his leap from the comic book pages to the big screen in Captain America: Civil War, the question wasn’t so much what he would say, but which words he should use.
Apart from a handful of terms, T’Challa’s fictional African nation had no differentiated language in the Marvel canon. But its people wouldn’t exactly be speaking English, since part of Wakanda’s lore was that the technologically advanced land had never been conquered.
Chadwick Boseman’s character does speak English throughout the movie to other English-speakers, of course. He’s a statesman, and presumably knows many other languages, too. But for intimate scenes between T’Challa, the prince of Wakanda, and his father, King T’Chaka, directors Joe and Anthony Russo felt the two men should communicate in a native tongue, one that rose up from the continent itself, free of interference from outsiders.
“The language we used for Wakandan is called Xhosa,” Joe Russo tells EW. “John Kani, the actor who plays T’Challa’s father in the movie, speaks the language and taught it to Chadwick. It’s spoken by 7.6 million people in South Africa.”
Xhosa just clicked.
Literally – it’s known as “the clicking language” for its assortment of verbal pops. The name “Xhosa” itself begins with what’s known as the “x click,” or the “horse-riding click,” as explained here:
One of the language’s most noteworthy native speakers was Nelson Mandela, a descendant of the Thembu tribe of the Xhosa people. That means now one of Africa’s most beloved make-believe leaders will forever communicate in the language of one of its most historic real-life ones.
i was about to say the same damn thang.Just finished watching. That's it.
