We've come really far though, my fellow Wakandans
2014

I still remember looking at that first image in disbelief that this was happening. It was the kind of disbelief that was calm and it just didn't fully register in my head yet how much I had wanted this.
I'll be honest, I was unsure about a lot of stuff, like Chadwick's casting, the look of the costume, Coogler being picked to direct and so on. But ever since that shot of T'Challa running faster than Cap, jumping over a car and slashing the tyres of Bucky's bike, I KNEW I was going to be blown away.
I'm still shocked how good Ryan, Hannah Bleacher and the rest of the production team have made Wakanda look. I love that there was clear and extensive research done on several African tribes to take inspiration from their looks to differentiate the aesthetics of each Wakandan tribe. That's what really impresses the most. It's authentic, yet very creative and badass in it's own right. Now all I need is this movie to have a good script. I feel like this could be Marvel's best made film in terms of overall quality.
