anxiety is my superpower

I've been watching football since I was 10 and if you know a little about the men's football, you'll also know how toxic the fans are (for example the racial abuse faced by Vini Jr recently). Men's football is always idolized by straight white men as their ideal sport. Homophobia (and misogyny and racism) is huge in men's football. There are no football players from the LGBTQ+ community in any of the top leagues. Fans go on to abuse any club that supports the community. If you just look at the comment section of a couple of footballers who recently came out, like Joshua Cavallo or Jakub Jantor, you'll find thousands of homophobic comments. And when these fans have a disagreement, guess what their favourite insult to throw around is? 'You're gay'.

Standing in this scenario, watching Colin come out to his entire team and then loving and accepting him the way he his. Watching him being able to kiss his partner after a victory - this means so much to me. I'm pretty sure this is a huge inspiration for all my fellow football fans in the community. And perhaps this may have given some courage to some footballer out there struggling to accept himself and his identity. This scene will perhaps take another 50 years to become reality on the football field, but we can hope for that day.

(SPOILERS AHEAD!!!)

Ramonda's speech at the UN.

Each character being allowed to grieve T'Challa in their own way and the characters not looking down on one another because of the way they chose to grieve him.

Riri hammering some metal into shape to make her suit (possibly a parallel to Tony making Mark 1 in the same way in IM)

Riri's 2nd suit is literally gorgeous!

Nakia runs a children's school !! That's so adorable, especially her teaching the kids to utilise the ecosystem around them.

The existence of MUTANTS being confirmed in the MCU!!!

Namor's wings !! As a comic reader, I didn't really notice his wings that much but I was pleasantly surprised to see how much they highlighted the wings in the movies!

AYO AND ANEKA!!! The little kiss on the head , the 'Thank you, my love' !!!!

The fact that the Wakandan royalty aren't just royalty to their people - they are family. (Shuri calling Okoye sister, Okoye calling Ramonda mother)

Riri attacking Shuri and Okoye with her heater 😭

How they didn't immediately try to take away Ayo's role as general in the end, but gave Okoye a new purpose instead.

'Coloniser in chains' (no but seriously coming from a country that was colonised for over 200 years this was so funny)

M'baku not trying to take T'Challa's place as Shuri's older brother but being like that cousin who'll always have your back and give you good advice. Loved their dynamic

Also M'Baku bringing his own snack and just casually munching on a carrot during a council meeting

Riri and Shuri being friends and not seeing each other's intelligence as competition! The way Shuri fixed up Riri's car and the little hug! Precious. We love female friendships!
