487 Words2 Pages

Did you know that at the end of the movie Black Panther, Killmonger felt content? In the movie Black Panther, a theme that keeps coming up in the protagonist and antagonist of this film is revenge vs mercy. I will be talking about how T'challa is a merciful man and king, while Killmonger is full of revenge. I believe T'challa and Killmonger display these two themes extremely well, as T'challa feels merciful towards
Killmonger, while Killmonger wants revenge because of his death of his father.

Revenge is displayed through Killmonger in many ways, one of which including how he wanted to kill T'challa. Killmonger had his dad taken away from him at a young age by non other than T'challa's dad, he was found stealing vibranium from Wakanda and so the king was forced to kill him. This is what fueled Killmongers feelings of revenge, and drove him to find and enter Wakanda in order to kill T'challa and satisfy his hunger for revenge. Killmonger’s feelings of revenge were driven by grief for his father’s death, and by …show more content…

When Killmonger first shows up in Wakanda, T'challa doesn’t understand his story, but then he talks to Zuri, and after hearing the whole story, he starts to sympathize with Killmonger and understand his pain and suffering. This leads to him being a lot more merciful towards Killmonger, and trying to work out something peacefully. Sadly Killmonger was intent on revenge, and in the end T'challa still ends up beating him, but it’s not because he was mad at Killmonger for almost killing him, he fought him in order to stop him from destroying the rest of the world. After Killmonger is defeated, he even feels bad for him, and offers to try and heal him, but Killmonger refuses. I think T'challa stays true to his heart and believes what he thinks is right, which makes him a fair, merciful and great king. These situation T'challa is put in and forced to overcome, are what shape him into a merciful

The Black Panther Party and Black Lives Matters are two movements that happened at different time periods in history, both wanting to approach the issue of police brutality towards African American individuals. Since both movements take place in two different time periods, the Black Panther Party happening in the 1960’s and the Black Lives Matter in present-day 2017, both have different and similar approaches along with goals in which they believe they can change the abusive relationship African Americans have with structural racism implemented by America. The police brutality back in the 1960’s majorly went unprosecuted due to high racism in this time period and not only did police brutality go majorly unpunished, it was also much more merciless

His struggles became particularly evident when he witnessed the hanging of the pipel, what he saw that day rattled his faith to its core. Subsequently, he felt abandoned by his God, “What does Your grandeur mean, Master of the Universe, in the face of all this cowardice, this decay, and this misery?”(p.66), “Blessed be God’s name? Why, but why would I bless Him?” (p.67). Furthermore, he wondered why God would allow such suffering and remained silent in the face of evil.

I noticed more themes of non-absolutism in the movie “Black Panther.” One example of non-absolutism is that the king of Wakanda has a council that helps the King make decisions. They are made up of elders from different tribes in Wakanda. The council advises the king and makes sure his decisions are good for Wakanda. The King has to listen to the council which shows it is not an absolute monarchy.

Black Panther: A Nation Under Our Feet, written by Ta-Neheisi Coates and illustrated by Brian Stelfreeze can be interpreted as a fictional representation of the modern world which often fails to recognize its own history amongst technological advancement and corruption. In the middle of issue #3, the reader is shown Shuri in the land of the Djalia, a land of memory, along with a griot, discussing the loss of history and storytelling in Wakanda, which has been lost to struggles for power, industrialization and the loss of history to bigger and better things (Coats 3.9). Stelfreeze uses many elements to show this by creating a juxtaposition between the current state of Wakanda and its history, including nature, lighting and colour. Along with

We can actually take it to something more recent. The Beyoncé half-time show at the Super Bowl, There is a lot of controversy dealing with the similarities of the Black Panthers and Beyoncé performance.

In the film Black Panther, there are a few differing opinions regarding how the fictional nation Wakanda should act towards other nations when it comes to providing shelter and resources. At the beginning of the film, it was established that Wakanda has always been completely isolated from the rest of the world, withholding their extremely powerful and useful resource known as Vibranium from the outside world. They also avoid intervening in international issues, and carry the facade of being a poor African nation. Though some of the main characters have opposing views on how Wakanda should carry itself in front of the world, I personally understand aspects of each argument. Ultimately, though, I agree with T’Challa’s ending viewpoint the most.

As he revealed more of the trial, he gave us more strength. So I have seen this in my own life very recently, which makes me marvel at Jesus’s fortitude. He knew everything that was going to happen, which is why he was so stressed in the garden, but he went through it anyways for us. This makes me praise God for Jesus and what he did for us. It also makes me wonder at the fact that while Christ suffered persecution and death, we often don’t want to suffer even a little discomfort for him.
