History Heartwarming / BlackPanther2018

* Everett Ross has just met Nakia and knows she's a badass warrior but the minute Klaue's Krew ambushes his interrogation, Ross immediately pushes Nakia to the ground and shields her with his body. Then we find out he's been shot ''in the spine'' and he's clearly dying in agony. He has no idea the technology exists that can save his mobility or just his life. Nakia's distraught reaction and refusal to abandon him, even if it means letting the CIA know too much about Wakanda, is an act of faith in Ross's inherent worth despite his earlier...American-ness. Adding to this, T'challa deciding to halt the chase for Klaue in order to heal his wounds.

* The FinalBattle gives Everett Ross another moment. His reaction to the ship damaging the force field window directly in front of him to only 50% effectiveness (while he's trying to shoot down the cargo planes transporting vibranium weapons around the world): "*swallowing*' How much time do I have?" Once again he's willing to sacrifice his life, this time for the millions of strangers who will be killed if Killmonger gets what he wants. Thankfully, he survives, but the implication that he was willing to lay down his life to get the job done is clear.

** On November 29th 2020, Chadwick's birthday, the Creator/DisneyPlus version of ''Black Panther'' received [[https://twitter.com/GeeksOfColor/status/1332969767959838722 a brand new Marvel Studios logo]] paying tribute to Chadwick, similar to the one made for Creator/StanLee in ''Film/CaptainMarvel''.

--->'''Shuri:''' The Black Panther lives. And when he fights for the fate of Wakanda I will be right there beside him.\\

* In the final battle, as W'Kabi charges M'Baku, Okoye puts herself between her and the rhino. The rhino stops and licks her face like a dog. The way she smiles when it does this just makes the moment even sweeter.

** His and the Jabari's arrival prevents the Border Tribe from closing in on a surrounded Okoye, Shuri, and Nakia. Later when M'Baku is about to be run down by W'Kabi on his rhino, Okoye returns the favor by putting herself in front of M'Baku, knowing the rhino would stop to not harm her.
