History Awesome / BlackPantherWakandaForever

** 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.

** Namor did what the [[Film/AvengersInfinityWar Children of Thanos and the Outriders]] could not... Breach Wakanda up until destroying the ''throne room'', and killed the Queen herself. All while delivering one final ultimatum to prove his point.
-->'''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.]]

-->'''M'Baku:''' ''[[HesBack The Black Panther lives!]]''

** When Namor first strikes at the throne room, he goes straight after Ramonda, and would have speared her right between the eyes had the windows not been strong enough to take the blow(impressive in and of itself). Ramonda doesn't even ''blink''.

* Shuri's first appearance as the new Black Panther, dropping down before everyone in Jabari-land from her ship (The Dora Milaje, the Elders and the Jabari). M'Baku's reaction says it all:

** 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, and even impales her with a spear. Remember that Shuri's Panther Habit is made of vibranium and can also absorb and redistribute the energy of impacts, meaning that Namor was strong enough to punch through the suit entirely (whereas even when T'Challa fought Killmonger, he had to rely on the train system neutralizing Killmonger's suit to deliver a killing blow).

* 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 to ''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 won't be Wakanda's only ally for long.

* The attack on Wakanda is brutal, quick, destructive, and a complete victory on the Talokanil side. The Talokanil invasion is viciously efficient, infiltrating the city, flooding the streets and destroying dozens of buildings. This is ''Wakanda''-- a city that stood strong against the might of Thanos' legion-- and under Namor's leadership, the undersea kingdom deals out what can only be described as a CurbStompBattle. Then, when most of the army has retreated, Namor singlehandedly takes on a gauntlet of Wakanda's aerial fighter ships and smashes them to pieces, before flying directly to the throne room. While it's horrifying to see Wakanda brought so low, it's also undeniably impressive to watch Talokan and ''especially'' Namor tear their capital apart in so short a timespan.

* Wakanda may be outclassed against Talokan, especially once Namora cripples their ship, but they still put up a ferocious fight. The Dora go off and battle along the side of the ship with a group of Jabari holding their tightropes. And they fight for a prolonged amount of time, killing many of Talokan’s warriors. And the Jabari never show any struggle of holding onto their assigned Dora, easily holding out even with their roughly 120 lb charges jumping around and fighting to the death. When a retreat is ordered, the Jabari effortlessly pull back to begin pulling their Dora back up.

* 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, who grabs the helicopter they're escaping in by the tail and hurls it into the ocean, quickly demonstrating his incredible superhuman power.

* The first Talokanil attack we see in the film. They ''immediately'' establish themselves as a force to be reckoned with, wrecking the CIA ship's attempt at finding vibranium in ''less than ten minutes''. The attack starts with them drawing the majority of the ship's crew into the water, [[CreepyAwesome making them commit mass suicide with a haunting song]]. Once the ship's forces have been decimated, Talokanil soldiers overrun the ship and take out everyone they see with spears and sheer strength, shrugging off bullets until the only people left are a single research and a helicopter pilot. Then, just when they think they're about to get away, Namor appears to send the helicopter careening into the ocean. How does he do that? By ''grabbing hold of it with his bare hands and spinning it around'', throwing it into the water. It would be more accurate to call it a massacre than a fight.

* The first Talokanil attack we see in the film, in which they combine sonic weaponry to make their enemies drop to their deaths along with physical force to eliminate them with ease, culminating in a momentary appearance of Namor effortlessly sending a helicopter careening into the ocean.

* Pretty much every scene that features Ramonda. In every appearance, even when she is being pushed to her utmost limits, she exhibits poise, cunning, and dignity befitting the world's oldest and most powerful nation.

--->'''Namor''': I have more soldiers than there are ''blades of grass in this land.''

--> ''RISE, TALOKAN!''

---> ''[[MythologyGag Imperius]] [[{{Catchphrase}} Rex]]''.

---> '''Shuri''': ''WAKANDA FOREVER!''

* TheStinger is a mixture of SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments and awesomeness. Nakia arrives to Shuri with a little boy... the son of T'Challa, the previous T'Challa having the foresight to prepare his wife and child for his own death. His Haitian name is Touissant, but his Wakandan name is that of his father. Though he may not yet be the Black Panther, T'Challa's legacy lives on in his child.

* Shuri's first appearance as the new Black Panther, dropping down before everyone in Jabari-land from her ship (The Dora Milaje, the Elders and the Jabari). M'Baku proudly announces "The Black Panther lives!"

* 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:

* The first Talokanian attack we see in the film, in which they combine sonic weaponry to make their enemies drop to their deaths along with physical force to eliminate them with ease, culminating in a momentary appearance of Namor effortlessly sending a helicopter careening into the ocean.

* The reveal that T'Challa was SecretlyDying means that much like his actor the late great Creator/ChadwickBoseman it's likely that T'Challa was secretly very sick since his debut in Civil War which makes everything the king had done in the MCU even more awesome than it was already.
* The Talokans use Whales as vessels to ferry their army and use Orcas as Mounts to ride into battle
