      Some people say that Marvel is the best, and some people say that Marvel is the worst. Sure enough, where there are people, there is opposition, and watching a Marvel movie can make you quarrel. It's just a Hollywood commercial blockbuster, so I can go. Of course, this is also true on the other hand. It's just a Hollywood commercial blockbuster. I just want to say that there are so many black beauties, why not choose a few beautiful ones.

    Black Panther quotes

    • T'Challa: Wakanda will no longer watch from the shadows. We can not. We must not. We will work to be an example of how we, as brothers and sisters on this earth, should treat each other. Now, more than ever, the illusions of division threaten our very existence. We all know the truth: more connects us than separates us. But in times of crisis the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way to look after one another, as if we were one single tribe.

    • Everett K. Ross: [after he wakes up] Is this Wakanda?

      Shuri: [sarcastically] No, it's Kansas.
