There's no place like this to call home
And later in the afternoon, I combined the prevailing concerns of the last twenty-four hours and saw Ryan Coogler's Black Panther (2018) at the Capitol Theatre with
gaudior and
rushthatspeaks. I can't write about it right now, but it's a gorgeous film: worldbuilding, performances, music, myth, serious and beautifully realized Afrofuturism. The thing where if you get enough women in the same cast together, they have conversations about honor and technology, not just men. I want my toolkit-loving niece to be old enough to show her this film for Shuri. Casino shootouts and war rhinos. Maybe the next time Nabiyah Be's on film, she'll get to sing. Once upon a time the most familiar way into this story would have been through the eyes of Ross of the CIA, and this is not his movie.

I don't think anyone calls Erik that in the film, no, but I could be wrong-- I was shutting out most of Klaue's dialogue because Andy Serkis irks me immensely. ("OI MAAIIDE IT RAYYIIN HA HA HA HA!") Which has led to distress on AO3 as the character is being tagged as "Erik Killmonger" which is wrong on a couple of counts. It might be how he's referred to in the comics, tho (you really don't want the backstory of M'Baku in the comics).
