King. Nation. Origin.

Rating: 9/10 (2 March 2018)

Background.
Director and co-writer, Ryan Coogler embarks onto the great journey of a King's rise to the throne with Chadwick Boseman (Captain America: Civil War) returning once again as T'Challa of Wakanda, his challenger, Michael B. Jordan (Creed) as Erik Killmonger, as well as other great stars such as Lupita Nyong'o (12 Years a Slave) in this Marvel Studio adventure.
Highlight!
As any origin story, the film illustrates the growth of the individual but, in doing so, carves its own path with grand ideas such as the fulfillment of legacy and the deprivation of heritage.
Remarkable?
In this Marvel outing, I'd argue that the setting is just as important as the characters in the film. Though a setting in actuality, as a character, Wakanda brings an influence, enriched with a technology meets tradition aesthetic which can play into T'Challa's involvement in the MCU or at the very least in Black Panther films going forward.
Here's to fighting and overcoming all forms of strife that cannot keep strong voices in the shadow! Always a war...
