Black Panther: Wakanda Forever

“To say the film is overtaxed is an understatement. Regrettably, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever tries to do so many things it comes across as threadbare and pallid; less a failure of imagination and more so of circumstance, time, and narrative constraints.” — Angelica Jade Bastién, “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever Doesn’t Have the Answers”
