7 Reasons Why Namor and Talokan Are the Best of ‘Wakanda Forever’

We recognize that since the premiere of Black Panther: Wakanda Foreverwe have been so excited not only because Mexican actors are part of the cast, but also because of the importance they have given to one of the most representative cultures of our country, of course, we are referring to the Mayan culture.

Since before it hit the big screen, some Marvel fans and Black Panther They were not very convinced that this movie would achieve the success that it had and they even believed that it would be a failure, but Namor came to shut up their mouths. That is why here we tell you the reasons why we believe that both he and Talokan stole the movie.

1. The scenes where Namor appears are incredible

The 500-year-old God is capable of burning the world to save his people, and even when he is the “villain”, it doesn’t seem so much, since his request was as valid as Ramonda’s: take care of his people at the expense of whom be. Without a doubt, Kukulcán or Namor is quite a protective God.

2. Namora, the unstoppable

Although she does not have many appearances, the few she did have were enough to show us that she is powerful, unstoppable, and protective of her people. Also, her presence is incredible and when we see her walk we can see that she could break anyone’s neck.

3. The battle scenes are very elegant

It’s very rare that Marvel lets us down in battle scenes. Like in Shang-Chi and the legend of the ten rings, where there was a lot of beauty in the fighting. However, in Wakanda Forever she showed off taking elegance to the next level. The confrontation of the Dora Milaje with the Talokan warriors was one of the most beautiful things in the movie.

4. The siren song of the Talocan

According to mythology, with their enveloping song, sirens have made sailors lose themselves at sea, but we must admit that we all got goosebumps when we heard the alluring but chilling song of the Talokan warriors, which enchants the victims to lure them into the sea and drown them.

However, this clear reference to sirens also reminded us of the “whistle of death”, the instrument used by the Aztecs to disturb and traumatize enemies before a battle.

5. The representation of the Mayan culture was beautiful

Let’s remember that the first film of Black Panther He showed us the cultural beauty that exists in Africa and in the sequel we were not disappointed with T’Challa’s funeral. However, the great work they did to represent the pre-Hispanic cultures, especially the Mayan culture, was wonderful, impressive and reliable, since the language, the costumes, the sports, the architecture, the beliefs, traditions and the physical aspect of the people it was sensational.

6. For his battle cry: ‘Lik’ik Talocan’

We must admit that seeing Namor wearing that beautiful headdress and hearing him shout “Lik’ik Talokan” was the moment when we forgot about Wakanda and began to support Namor and his plan to declare war on half the world.

And although Wakanda is not the real enemy, as the Mexican National Anthem says: “a soldier in each son gave you”, of course, from the point of fantasy, “yes to everything” with Namor.

7. When Namor gives his mother’s bracelet to Shuri

The moment Namor takes Shuri to Talokan to show her how his people live and why he has to protect them, while she tells him about her grief over T’Challa’s death, he listens to her and also gives her his mother’s bracelet, it was precisely where Namor conquered us.
