Since we’re not seeing trailers left and right, let this be our warning.
Please please PLEASE do not sleep on this. They only made this series because it kicked major booty in the box office, but they aren’t promoting it so it will fail and they can go back to their normal paint palettes.
Do. Not. Let. Them! Please do not let them shrug off a group who is called a minority but really isn’t minor in representation!
Let them see that there are just as many people who love T’challa and Zuri as there are fans of SpiderMan and the Hulk watching!
Here is the trailer! It looks awesome btw. It Premieres TONIGHT PLEASE WATCH IT LIVE, or STREAM IT ON THE DISNEY NOW APP. Don’t forget to tweet about it, and have it trending. Disney XD tonight September 23 @ 8c/9p
In Black Panther, we see women going about their business and supporting each other. They argue with each other and have different points of view, but they are not pitted against each other and I think that’s extremely important. In doing this, audiences can get a sense of the fabric of Wakanda as a nation, where we see women alongside men and we see how much more effective a society can be if they allow women to explore their full potential. — Lupita Nyong’o
“It’s been super,” Ebby Ihionu, shop owner of Elegance African Fashions, says. “Usually during winter, the business is slow, but it has been like up, up, up. You know, people come every day.”
Ihionu is originally from Nigeria and has run this business out of the basement of her home for 11 years. And for the first time, she ran out of some items. “I ran out of dashikis. I ran out. I had to go, and you know, start making more,” she explains.
The colorful printed dress shirts usually sell in the summer. And Ihionu isn’t slowing down. She’s already booked up with orders for custom-made clothes for the next two months. It’s all because of the bump from “Black Panther.
Diane Basemera from Uganda runs an online marketplace called Amooti, where African artisans sell their goods. Basemera, 30, started her business two years ago with the goal of being an “Amazon” for African products. Sales on her website have tripled since the movie came out. One artisan on her site even created a line of hoodies inspired by “Black Panther” for spring.
Some fashion experts already predict the film will give African designs even more influence in the fashion industry.
“This is a long-term trend,” says Caroline Daniels, who runs the fashion entrepreneurial initiative at Babson College. “The number of people that are becoming fashion consumers is growing, is more diverse. They want more choice, and they want clothing that expresses individuality as well as diversity.”
Shuri is 16 so unless they turn valkyrie into a predator, then no
ick no I meant like as adults. People write time jumps or AUs where ages are different than canon all the time. Sorry, underage stuff doesn’t occur to me, so I wasn’t thinking it would be taken that way, but your point is super important.
T’challa at age 5: Baba, when I am older, I will join the Dora Milaje and protect the throne and our country!!
Thor at age 5: FATHER WHEN I GROW UP, I’M GONNA BE A VALKYRIE AND RIDE A WINGED HORSE AND HIT THINGS WITH MY SWORRRRRDDDD
This totally happened
But since this likely DID happen – can you imagine how amazed Thor will be once he hears about the Dora Milaje?
the real story here tho
Valkyrie meeting the Dora Milaje, these beautiful strong warrior women who fight as one. Okoye, who looks at her with cool and assessing eyes and nods, a slight incline of her head as regal as any queen.
“Sister,” Okoye calls her, and leads her to the armoury because while they can all fight alone, none should have to.
I know y’all wanna support and buy cool gear, but make sure you’re supporting the ACTUAL shops! This is a repost from @adornedbychi via @wearewakanda … Don’t buy from mass produced shops, support small businesses! Know that when you buy from the artists, it helps them to keep making great things so you can buy more– it’s a circle!
They’re stealing my artwork of Thor too!!
PLEASE DON’T BUY FROM THEM!
Don’t buy from teehub! Many shop there stealing artworks from artists for printing!!
