“Nakia and Okoye are allowed to be the full expressions of themselves, as women pursuing their passions while determining how their lives will unfold.


“Black Panther” offers a refreshing reprieve from the misogynistic media with which we are regularly bombarded by showcasing empowered women that are inspiring because of their contributions to their country and the way they show up in their own lives. Women who know that love does not keep you from your life purpose, romance does not come before your personal values and you are a better partner when you are in purposeful pursuit of your calling.”

The women of ‘Black Panther’ are empowered not just in politics and war, but also in love.

hi-def-doritos:

reading through my old diaries like:

“I think Chase might be the one for me. He treats me like a person with thoughts and feelings.”

Someday I’ll write an essay on everything wrong with that but at the moment just boy howdy that’s a lot to absorb.

Oh no 😦

the thing i love about t’challa wasn’t just that he took killmonger to see the sunset, it was that he was in tears as he listened to killmonger’s story – that he was arguing that killmonger wouldn’t exist if t’chaka had simply shown compassion, that he understood the black panthers of the past had maybe been wrong. you can feel his empathy for people, and why it makes him the black panther whose story is being told; the most special thing about him isn’t his powers, or his suit, because there were black panthers generations before him. his fighting skill isn’t revolutionary – he gets beaten. the thing that made him special was that he has a big heart. t’challa is a good person. genuinely, a great one.

and that he listens and can change his mind.

He did the same thing in the end of Civil War, when he talked to Zemo and realized he was wrong about Bucky. T’Challa will be the first to admit when he, as an individual or as the throne he represents, is wrong, and when he realizes he is wrong or a mistake has been made he actively works to correct it as best he can. He shows compassion for his enemies – that’s clear even when he was challenged by M’Baku. And that compassion is his greatest strength, because it allows him to turn his potential enemies into allies.

god black panther was such a good movie!!!!!t’challa as a character is so good ughthis is what healthy positive masculinity looks like y’all
