The Black Panther: Wakanda Forever plot has a huge issue that somewhat ruins Namor’s story – here’s what you need to know.
Black Panther: Wakanda Forever is finally playing in theaters worldwide. The highly anticipated Black Panther 2 launched on Thursday, so plenty of fans might already know the story. Whether you saw it or you’re about to see it, you might realize that Wakanda Forever has a massive Endgame issue that sort of ruins the story of Namor (Tenoch Huerta).
Namor is Marvel’s newest villain — a mutant leading a powerful underwater nation that’s been living in secret for hundreds of years. Talokan is an even bigger mystery to the world than Wakanda. And we might see Namor in future MCU adventures, given how careful Marvel has been not to paint him as a full-fledged evil villain.
But Marvel seems to have forgotten an incredible detail in Namor’s history which should not be missing from a movie like Wakanda Forever: Everything that happened on Earth from Infinity War to Endgame. Before we explain this plot issue, we’ll warn you that big spoilers follow below.
We’ve known since the first trailer that the next Black Panther will fight Namor (Tenoch Huerta) in Wakanda Forever. Therefore, we’ve known the war would be the most important conflict in the sequel.
Marvel also told the world that the main action in Black Panther 2 happens one year after the death of T’Challa (Chadwick Boseman). Therefore, it’s well after Endgame.
Separately a massive Wakanda Forever plot leak dropped a few days ago, revealing that Namor comes to the surface because of vibranium. Years after the events in Endgame, the world wants vibranium, and it will not get it from Wakanda.
It turns out there’s vibranium in the ocean, and the Talokan has used it to develop their own underwater world.
