Black Panther welcomes Marvelites to Wakanda

2018 is going to be a BIG year for Marvelites (aka Marvel fans) with so much comic book movies being served from now until December. 20th Century Fox is contributing two movies in the form of Deadpool 2 in May and X-Men Dark Phoenix in November. Then there's the first Venom movie from Sony Pictures in October together with an animated Spider-man movie in December. Marvel Studios themselves will dish out three movies starting with Black Panther next week as a precursor to the ultimate superhero team-up in Avengers Infinity War this April, followed in July by Ant-Man & The Wasp. Plus there are whole servings of Marvel superheroes on TV from titles like Agents of SHIELD, The Gifted, Legion, The Runaways, Cloak & Dagger, Jessica Jones and Luke Cage.

Kicking off Marvel-mania in the cinemas officially from 15 February 2018 next week is Marvel's Black Panther. Our titular superhero first appeared almost two years prior in Captain America: Civil War. In his debut, Black Panther was pursuing the Winter Soldier / Bucky Barnes who was wanted for the murder of Wakanda's King T'Chaka in a terrorist bombing of a United Nations conference. When Barnes was apprehended together with Captain America / Steve Rogers, it was revealed that Black Panther is Prince T'Challa of Wakanda, vowing revenge for the death of his father and King.

During the ensuing row between superheroes, Black Panther sided with Tony Stark as part of Team Iron Man against Team Captain America. The magnificent "airport battle" ended with the escape of Roger and Barnes though other members of their team were apprehended.

Subsequently, Black Panther secretly followed Stark to a Siberian Hydra base and learned the real culprit of the bombing was Helmut Zemo, a Sokovian seeking to fracture the Avengers who he blames for the death of his family during the incident with Ultron. Black Panther apprehended Zemo and ultimately provided sanctuary for Rogers and Barnes in his homeland of Wakanda.

First appearance of Black Panther in the pages of Fantastic Four #52.

Whilst elements of Black Panther in the movies are fairly consistent with the source comics, his first introduction back in 1966 was not in the pages of Captain America but inside issue 52 of the Fantastic Four. In the comics, Black Panther possesses super-human conditioning akin to the super-soldier serum but sourced instead from a heart-shaped herb associated with the Panther God Bast. In the movies, at least during the events of Civil War, no explanation of his powers was given although they could be conjectured as part of his vibranium enhanced costume. Other than this, his alter-ego as King T'Challa of the African nation Wakanda seems consistent with the comics.

Now Black Panther returns in this own solo movie outing taking place after the events of Captain America Civil War and shedding more light into the mysterious nation of Wakanda.

Movie Synopsis

Marvel Studios’ Black Panther follows T’Challa who, after the death of his father, the King of Wakanda, returns home to the isolated, technologically advanced African nation to succeed to the throne and take his rightful place as king. But when a powerful old enemy reappears, T’Challa’s mettle as king—and Black Panther—is tested when he is drawn into a formidable conflict that puts the fate of Wakanda and the entire world at risk. Faced with treachery and danger, the young king must rally his allies and release the full power of Black Panther to defeat his foes and secure the safety of his people and their way of life.

Marvel's Black Panther is directed by Ryan Coogler with Chadwick Boseman reprising his role as Black Panther / T'Challa. Joining him is Lupita Nyong'o as Nakia, Danai Gurira as Okoye, Martin Freeman as Everett Ross, Daniel Kaluuya as W'Kabi, Letitia Wright as Shuri, Angela Bassett as Ramonda &  Forest Whitaker as Zuri. Opposing our hero are Michael B. Jordan as Erik Killmonger, Winston Duke as M'Baku, and Andy Serkis as Ulysses Klaue.

Marvel Studios Producer Kevin Feige and Black Panther co-creator Stan Lee share about developing Black Panther from comic book pages to screen.

Despite the fantastical worlds showcased in comic books, Marvel often created superheroes with very grounded human origins, many of which are credited to the legendary Stan Lee. Instead of aliens or gods (except for Thor and his entourage), many of Marvel's heroes are indeed regular humans that us mere mortals can relate to: the tech billionaire growing a conscience, the teenage kid rushing to grow up, a former felon who can't get a job, the arrogant doctor, etc.

However unlike most Marvel comic book superheroes, Black Panther does not originate from a particular locale in the United States based on our real world, but instead from a fictional African nation of Wakanda. Moreover, he holds the mantle of King and has to balance duty to his people against duty as a superhero. This forthcoming movie looks to be T'Challa's journey as the new King of Wakanda and his challenges from both internal and external discord.

Black Panther's costume showcased during San Diego Comic-con.

One of the most intriguing aspects to this upcoming movie is the nation of Wakanda itself. As shown in the trailers, Wakanda is very much a mysterious and reclusive African nation. It is soon revealed as the most technologically advanced nation on Earth and the source of vibranium, a highly sought after mineral for its unique properties, i.e. vibranium was used to make Captain America's "indestructible" shield.

Wakanda in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) looks to be intricately fleshed out from the trailers, its people mixing cutting edge high-technology with age old tribal rituals. An ensemble cast reflects the Wakandans featuring Golden Glode award winner Angela Bassett as Ramonda, Queen Mother, and Letitia Wright as Shuri, T'Challa's younger sister and Princess of Wakanda.

The royal family is protected by the Dora Milaje, an elite special forces of warrior women led by "Wakanda forever" Okoye (Danai Gurira). T'Challa's love interest Nakia (Lupita Nyong'o) is also a member of the Dora Milaje.

The warrior women of Wakanda (Left to Right): Okoye (Danai Gurira) head of the Dora Milaje, Nakia (Lupita Nyong'o).

Also supporting T'Challa is W'Kabi (Daniel Kaluuya), his best friend and head of security. Academy award winner Forest Whitaker dons Wakandan robes as Zuri, an elder statesman and religious figure.

 Other key Wakandans (L to R): T'Challa's best friend W'Kabi (Daniel Kaluuya), and tribal figure Zuri (Forest Whitaker).

Unsettling the peaceful nation and opposing King T'Challa's rule are M'Baku (Winston Duke), a powerful warrior of a Wakanda tribe, and Erik Killmonger played by Michael B. Jordan. Killmonger in particular is seen to challenge T'Challa directly for the throne and looks legitimately bad@$$ enough to go toe-to-toe with the Black Panther when he morphs into his own presumably vibranium suit. Allied with them is arms-dealer and smuggler Ulysses Klaue played by Andy Serkis (Lord of the Rings) reprising his role from Avengers Age of Ultron albeit less an arm.

Motion-capture master actor Andy Serkis returns as arms-dealer Ulysses Klaue, but NOT as a CG character.

Another alumni from J.R.R. Tolkien's Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit movies is Martin Freeman as CIA agent Everett K. Ross. He was last seen during the events of Captain America: Civil War as  Deputy Task Force Commander of the Joint Counterterrorism Center, reporting to US Secretary of State Thaddeus Ross. In the trailer Ross is seen interrogating Klaue (Editor: wonder if the actors felt dejavu from their scene as Bilbo and Gollum, although in different shoes so to speak) about Wakanda, which ultimately leads him to the hidden African nation and providing us an outsider's view to that world.

Martin Freeman goes on another unexpected journey as Everett K. Ross.

Marvel's Black Panther has already had its World Premiere and press screenings, receiving rave reviews amongst critics and fans. Check out non-spoiler reviews by Star2.com with rating of 8.5 out of 10 and Den of Geek scoring 4 out of 5. At the time of this post, it rates 98% on Rotten Tomatoes and 86 on Metacritic. That's ample reason of us comic book geeks to rush to cinemas as soon as possible and fortunately early sneak previews of Black Panther begin on Tuesday 13 February from 7pm onwards at the major Malaysian cinema chains.

The Black Panther's ride is pretty cool.

Set 76099 Rhino Face-off by the Mine is priced at RM129.90 includes both mini-figs of Black Panther and Killmonger in their panther costumes, plus Okoye and a rhino. Should we wager that in Wakanda the Dora Milaje ride rhinos to battle or this is just a gimmick that looks cool to kids?

Literally Gorilla Warfare in Planet of the Apes

Hold on to your butts, homo sapiens. A war is coming. A war between apes and humans to determine which species will survive. This is the War for the Planet of the Apes, the third installment in the Planet of the Apes reboot series. An emotionally charged blockbuster so powerful it could be one of the best movies of 2017.

Official synopsis:

In War for the Planet of the Apes, the third chapter of the critically acclaimed blockbuster franchise, Caesar and his apes are forced into a deadly conflict with an army of humans led by a ruthless Colonel. After the apes suffer unimaginable losses, Caesar wrestles with his darker instincts and begins his own mythic quest to avenge his kind. As the journey finally brings them face to face, Caesar and the Colonel are pitted against each other in an epic battle that will determine the fate of both their species and the future of the planet.

An upcoming sci-fi film directed by Matt Reeves (Cloverfield) and written by Matt Reeves and Mark Bomback. Sequel to Dawn of the Planet of the Apes. It stars Andy Serkis returning as the majestic Caesar, Karin Konoval returning as Caesar's trusted advisor Maurice, Judy Greer returning as Cornelia, Caesar's wife, Terry Notary as Rocket, Caesar's right-hand man, and Toby Kebbel as Koba. New to the series are Woody Harrelson as The Colonel, Steve Zahn as Bad Ape, and Amiah Miller in her first major motion picture role as Nova, the human child who becomes an unexpected link between the apes and humanity. Michael Giachinno returns to compose the score for this film. Visual effects are provided once again by Weta Digital.

This is the sequel to 2014's Dawn of the Planet of the Apes. Let us recap what has happened so far in this trilogy reboot.

The first movie in this reboot series is called Rise of the Planet of the Apes, released in 2011. In the movie, at a facility called Gen-Sys labs, we see the birth of an intelligent species of apes created by a virus called ALZ 113, or the Simian Flu as it became to be called afterwards. This virus is a result of scientific experiment gone wrong and it nearly caused the extinction of the human race. The intelligent apes escape into the wilderness led by alpha chimp Caesar.

In the second movie called Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, a decade has passed. The human population is nearing extinction due to the virus while the ape population has thrived and grown. A small band of human survivors encountered tribe of apes. Led by Caesar, there seemed to be hope towards a way to peace between apes and humans. But then an ape named Koba wanted revenge against his human captors from Gen-Sys labs and shattered this little hope for peace.

Summary of the two preceding movies prior to War.

In this third movie, War for the Planet of the Apes, human soldiers have been searching for Caesar and his tribe for 2 years and fate has brought them to him. It is the final showdown between Caesar and The Colonel, the leader of the human army. Will you cheer for the apes if they win the war? Will you sympathize with the humans if they lose? Witness the pivotal moments that determine the fate of the human civilization.

 Two-time Oscar® nominee Woody Harrelson is The Colonel, the main antagonist in this War for the Planet of the Apes.

12-year old Amiah Miller is Nova, an orphaned child living with the apes.

Also new in this movie is Nova, a mute young girl afflicted by the Simian Flu. She is "adopted" by orangutan Maurice and follows on the apes on their journey to a new home. Ironically Nova becomes the silent human amidst talking primates like in atypical animated fairy-tale of talking animals.

Actor & comedian Steve Zhan portrays Bad Ape, a product of the Simian Virus spreading to other parts of the world.

One unique and intriguing character introduced in this movie is an ape called Bad Ape, voiced and motion captured by Steve Zahn. He is.... let's just say, not like the other apes of the tribe. Caesar's encounter with him will play a very important role in the war against the human army.

Background on some of the recurring apes are available at the Official Planet of the Apes website.

The war action has moved from forests to rugged mountains and snow.

Reviews are now out from those that have seen the early screenings. The results are overwhelmingly positive. (some of the reviews have SPOILERS so don't click on them if you don't want to be spoiled)

Here are feedback from reviewers:

• "An exquisitely filmed, emotionally stunning film that challenges what a big-budget, summer blockbuster is supposed to be. And it’s about a planet of apes."- Germain Lussier, io9.com

• "It’s one of my favorite films of the year so far, and it deepens a little bit every time I think about it, which is always a good sign of its staying power." -Todd VanDerWerff, Vox.com

• "Director Matt Reeves and co-writer Mark Bomback display a fantastic ability for both spectacle and restraint in delivering one of the best blockbusters in years."- Scott Collura, IGN (warning, lot of SPOILERS!)

• "This movie is like having sex with a hot chick without getting an orgasm: still bloody awesome." - Dashran "Dedpewl" Yohan, The Hyped Geek.

New Zealand's Weta Digital provides leading edge motion capture technology allowing apes to emote better than Star Trek stoic Vulcans.

This motion picture values emotion very highly. And its shows very clearly when you look at the faces of the apes and realize how realistic they look like. It is amazing how motion capture has evolved to allow the emotions and subtle facial movements of the actors to be conveyed even through all those layers of digital effects. Weta Digital has really done an amazing job. And Andy Serkis really deserves an Oscar for his motion capture performance during the whole trilogy. You really want to watch this movie on the biggest and largest screen you can find: TGV's IMAX, GSC's Maxx or MBO's Big Screen.

Andy Serkis transformation into Caesar by the magic of Weta Workshop

One of the great things about this trilogy using motion capture is that it shows to the world that there is no need to utilize actual great apes and chimpanzees in entertainment. For many years, these primates have been taken as pets or as attractions. They are being threatened by wildlife trafficking and hunting. This trilogy proves that there are alternatives that are morally correct. In honor of the upcoming release of War for the Planet of the Apes, 20th Century Fox has partnered with the Jane Goodall Institute in Virginia, US, to provide care for rescued chimpanzees.

Expect a lot of emotional drama as well in the conflict between Caesar and The Colonel. Both are self-righteously defending their own species from destruction in a world gone wild.

Woody Harrelson and Andy Serkis were highly moved by each others performance.
