History Awesome / BlackPantherWakandaForever

* A group of Dora Milaje board a ship via grappling hooks to take on invading Talokan soldiers. They may be [[IncrediblyLamePun out of their depth]] against sea-dwellers, but they are fearless and fully ready to fight on their uneven ground. The official trailer also shows that a line of Jabari troops are backing them up and holding the line and their grappling hooks. If you need someone to hold the line, look no further than these mountains.

-->'''M'Baku:''' [[HesBack She has done it!]] ''[[SuddenlyShouting The Black Panther lives!!]]''

* Before the final showdown between Wakanda and Talokan begins in earnest, Shuri leads her forces in a rousing chant of "Yibambe!", just like T'Challa did against [[Film/AvengersInfinityWar Thanos']] [[Film/AvengersEndgame legions.]]

** The final battle against Namor has Shuri demonstrating a combination of brains and brawn, weakening Namor by trapping him in the Royal Talon fighter and dehydrating him. But even so, Namor manages to break free and ragdoll her across a beach by flying faster than she can see, finally ''impaling her with a spear''. The fight would have been over then if Namor decided to make sure she was finished off instead of trying to get to the water.

* While there is a bittersweetness to the teaser due to the death of T'Challa (and by extension, the real-life death of Creator/ChadwickBoseman), it's crazy to watch as ''Namor'' is confirmed to be making his MCU debut. Doubled by the fact that, based on the teaser, he has appeared to have ''flooded'' Wakanda and taken the throne room.

** Namor did what [[Film/AvengersInfinityWar the Children of Thanos and the Outriders]] could not... Breach Wakanda's inpenetrable defenses, up until destroying the ''throne room'', and killed the reigning Queen. All while delivering one final ultimatum to prove his point, while still being slightly civil, letting them grieve.

--->'''Namor:''' '''''TALOKANILE'EEEEEEEEEXXXX!'''''

** The sight of Namor and Shuri, the king and the princess of the most powerful nations in the world, united on the same craft and causing their armies, fighting to the death mere moments ago, to obediently stand down.

** The sight of Namor and Shuri, the king and new queen of the most powerful nations in the world, united on the same craft and causing their armies, fighting to the death mere moments ago, to obediently stand down.
* It bears mention that, despite having been beaten and burned at the end, alongside losing many of his people, Namor ''won''. His faction's strike on Wakanda left them severely weakened and in a state of repairing their nation, even slaying their monarch and (seemingly) leaving only one of the royal bloodline left, no doubt leaving the surface nations to focus on Wakanda ... and as he notes, he's engendered enough sympathy with them that when the invasion comes, they'll have nowhere to come ''but Talokan''. Namor may have yielded, but it was all part of a much grander plan ... and though Wakanda's queen may have won the battle, the war has hardly begun. (However with the Avengers scheduled to make a comeback, Talokan might not be Wakanda's only ally for long.)
* Shuri doesn't show up to her own coronation, implicitly [[AbdicateTheThrone letting M'Baku take the throne]] in her stead as a trusted leader.

* During Namor and Ramonda's first encounter, the Kukulkan keeps up a [[AffablyEvil friendly facade]] even while implicitly threatening the queen. However, he drops the act for one line, which may be one of the most straight-up ''badass'' warnings in the MCU thus far:

--->'''Namor''': She did this! In one weeks time, I will return with my '''entire army'''...and you will join us against the surface world...or I will ''wash Wakanda off the face of the Earth.'' [[DueToTheDead Bury your dead. Mourn your losses.]] [[YouAreInCommandNow You are Queen now.]]

** He then begins the traditional Jabari chant with his fellow tribesmen while the four elders surround Shuri and touch her in support and the shaman sings the traditional Panther song. This scene is emotional.

** To her credit, Graham, the CIA agent supervising the search for vibranium, beats an impressive retreat, holding off Talokan warriors with nothing but a gun and almost gets away if not for Namor grabbing the helicopter by the tail.
