Black Panther (2017): Post-Panther Questions

A Letter to the Wakandan High Council

(or Wakandan Royal Court, or whatever you wise and troubled royalty — who sit around Black Panther's throne like you're inspired by Jedi Council meetings in the Star Wars prequels — call yourselves)

© 2017 - Disney/Marvel Studios

Dear Wakandan Royals,

If you are willing to accept mail from those of us moviegoers who have no access to your kingdom — those of us who (as the movie reveals) have been kept from discovering this high-tech African paradise, those of us who are apparently looking at an illusion of dense forests when we zoom in toward Wakanda on Google Earth — I would like to be among the first to congratulate you.

You’ve won me over in ways that no Marvel movie has.
