Though he's still out on the road for this Clerks III roadshow tour, filmmaker and fanboy Kevin Smith has taken to the internet to offer his thoughts about the latest Marvel Studios release, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. Speaking on his latest FatMan Beyond podcast, Smith offered candid thoughts about the movie and how the movie defying all fan expectations was almost certainly for the better.
He continued,"So in a world where they lose their brightest star and can't do what originally was intended, unless they just hire somebody else to be the Black Panther, I dig their choice. I know it's not what everybody thinks of when they're like 'we're gonna go see a Marvel movie.' A lot of it was slow and about grief and acceptance and stuff.
"For my money, hands down the best part of the movie. You could have just shot that scene and charged me double to see and that was the movie, then ran full credits after it without even a mid-credits scene, and I would have been happy with it. That was profoundly wonderful. As a writer I was ashamed that I didn't see it coming, but as an audience member I was so delighted by that scene.
"I cried in the beginning when he died off camera, and that was more about Letitia Wright's performance triggered me. Seeing somebody be that heart broken man, and pulling it off. I'm fairly empathetic so if somebody's crying, I'm crying with them. The rest of the movie not so much until the end sequence when she's on the beach. It's tough not to get emotional when they show that flashback footage of him, Chadwick.
