Black Panther • Character Analysis • W’Kabi • SPOILERS FOLLOW • Of all the characters in #BlackPanther, #DanielKaluuya’s #WKabi was by far the most underdeveloped &, as a result, one of the most bothersome characters in the movie. Yes, we know that he leads the #BorderTribe, that he is involved with #Oyoke, & that he has a personal vendetta against #Klaue, but other than that his character lacks any real depth - which makes his complete betrayal at the end of the movie seem like more of a #plotdevice than an actual choice he would consciously make. • At the beginning of the movie we see him have a conversation with the newly appointed King #Tchalla about keeping #refugees out of #Wakanda & his willingness to expand their #empire, & while that plants the seeds for the eventual development of his character into someone who might become a threat, it’s never given enough sustenance to grow into the full-on betrayal that it eventually becomes. • I can understand that he has an issue with T’Challa not bringing Klaue in - but that wasn’t completely T’Challa’s fault, as #Erik was the one who freed Klaue from the #CIA hideout. W’Kabi’s unwillingness to even discuss the matter with T’Challa is somewhat frustrating - choosing instead to immediately side with Erik. • My frustration is compounded because he claims to be loyal to Wakanda, but when T’Challa returns to finish the ceremonial battle, he disregards tradition & attacks T’Challa with his tribe, intent on killing him. It doesn’t make sense because up until that point - while it was clear that he was upset with T’Challa - it could be argued that there was still a chance of reconciliation between the two. • All in all, his character would have been much more compelling if he was given more screen time so that we could better understand his ambitions. Because, without it, it just seems as though his feelings were hurt & he decided to lash out. I mean, he even went so far as to draw his blade against his beloved? It just all felt very strange, & it’s perhaps my biggest issue with the movie. • What are your thoughts on his character?

Deus Ex Machina A plot device whereby a seemingly unsolvable problem in a story is suddenly and abruptly resolved by an unexpected and seemingly unlikely occurrence. #deusexmachina #itwasrasmussen #lordoftherings #tartuffe #plotdevice https://www.instagram.com/p/B_cbRyvhJ7l/?igshid=1l4f18azjjnod

But the symbol of flesh is much darker, much more difficult to discern. The Kindred hear it practically every night and for now, you'd be lucky if you could only imagine the possibilities. The very knowledge itself could begin to tear down the loose fabric of humanity we all hold dear. Metal & Flesh holds this city together. The children of the night revel in riding the vein down and through with it's rich, red ecstasy... but can they handle the thick, blue blood that runs back, and the secrets within?

Magic bugs instead of magic rocks. What a change of pace.
