{Disclaimer: This post MAY contain some Spoilers, though I tried my hardest to minimize that, so chillax}
What an awesome week it's been so far! This whole journey started on Sunday when I scored tickets to go see the Black Panther Movie. Shout out to Noree Victoria!!
***

I was pleasantly surprised that they were for the VIP theater @ Traderoute Mall's NuMetro. Which included luxuriously comfy reclining leather seating!

 Quotes
What will really stand out for those into personal development is the amazing Leadership quotes & moments.





Characters

***
I love that they've each got their own Emoji on Twitter! Now while Chadwick Boseman is the lead & we fell in love with him via Civil War when he made his debut, I'd like to highlight these 3 characters from the movie that totally shattered barriers of a thousand & one stereotypes to come out as some of my absolutely favorite MCU(Marvel Cinematic Universe) characters of all time!

You may know her as the badass, Michonne from AMC's The Walking Dead & I totally didn't recognize her without her dreads. Okoye delivers one of the Most, if not Most Iconic sayings in the movie:

The saying that was instantly Hashtag'd which spanned of hundreds & hundreds of thousands of posts all over the internet. She's so ABSOLUTE in this movie. She never wavers in her duty as a warrior to her country & the throne. Usually that kind of somewhat "blind obedience" irks us but she showed such strength in conviction that you couldn't help but admire it.
This is why representation is so important!

What are your thoughts on #BlackPanther's sister Shuri after having seen the movie?

Me:

She is unequivocally a BREAKOUT Star from this film!!!
vox.com even titles:

Shuri, Black Panther’s teen girl genius, is Marvel’s most promising character in ages

Move over, Tony Stark.

From her epic style, to her mad technology & engineering skills. From her wacky humor to her cunning adaptability. She is truly one of a kind. Called by many as their New FAVORITE Disney Princess !
Here are some of her Best Quotes in the Movie:

 This corset is really uncomfortable. So can we wrap this up & go home? The real question is, what are THOSE? Guess what I call them? Sneakers. Great, another broken white boy for me to fix. Don’t scare me like that, Colonizer! is the BEST!!! 😂🤣❤🔥🔥


I was laughing the loudest in the cinema for her cause she cracked me up so much. I have such crush vibes on her right now.

I had a bad taste of Michael B Jordan in the last Fantastic Four movie so I wasn't too jazzed for him to be the Black Panther's main villain, tbh. I'm so ecstatic & humbled that I was so so severely WRONG in my assumption that he would ruin this villain.

because WHISTLE* @michaelbjordan SLAYED at #Killmonger 🔥🔥🔥as a villain coz even as a badass mofo the dude got you all up in them feels at the end! 😢🤣😎 His back story & motivations for doing what he does in the movie are insanely well developed & so compelling to sympathize & empathize with. It's been a long long time since a movie or tv villain has done that to me. 
EPIC sketch of my Favorite Black Panther character atm.
Killmonger😍
Mega Thank you to 
He also delivered My Personal Favorite line in the Movie that completely floored me in depth & compassion:

"Bury me in the ocean. Just like my ancestors who jumped off the ships. Because they knew Death was better than a Life of Bondage."😭💔🤘

I was curious on one thing though. So I took to my favorite social media platform, Twitter, to post my Question.
The Answer:
I utterly enjoyed every minute & moment of this movie. From the epic & picturesque fight scenes to the quiet, unnerving depth filled scenes especially between fathers and sons. From the mesmerizing scenery that makes you almost entirely BELIEVE that Wakanda is a Real place in Africa right now to the captivating culture of this fictional society.

Black Panther has received critical acclaim, with praise directed toward its visuals, screenplay, characters, direction, costume design, action sequences, soundtrack, and performances. Critics considered it as one of the best films set in the MCU and noted its cultural significance. It has grossed over $426 million worldwide, and its four-day opening weekend gross of just under $242 million in the United States was the second-highest of all time. Its three-day gross of $202 million was the fifth-highest of all-time and also set the record for biggest debut by an African American director
The director of #BlackPanther #RyanCoogler. (Only 31) He had $900k budget 4 #Fruitvale Station it made 16 mil. Had 40 mil bud 4 #Creed it made 173 mil. #Marvel gave him 200+ million budget 4 Black Panther. Most eva given 2 an #African American director He SLAYED!🔥

This is JUST the beginning. Black Panther is on track to SMASH through so many barriers & milestones, it'll leave your head in a tailspin. Waaaaakanda ForrrrrrRRrrrEver!!!.


I; Enricoh Alfonzo; undoubtedly, vehemently, and whole-heartedly recommend this Movie to everyone.

this is LIT!🔥

Black Panther weekend is already off to a great start with celebrity freestyles and fashion killers taking center stage.
Someone at Nerdist.com was so hype, they decided to ask what if Black Panther took over the “Icon” status from Jaden Smith? 
The track “Young King” was born.
Watch the hilarious bars from the Wakandan royalty below!
