Made films the shows talk about.

Counted as other. The films the hosts said they were tied to, which the two lists below run through too: Black Panther (2018).

Draws on

What the speakers say they, or a film of theirs, drew on. Each is a speaker's account: “the maker said so” when they report the maker's own words, “the host's read” when the read is theirs.

Captain America: The First Avenger (2011): 1 line

  1. lineage (lineage) · through Black Panther (2018), which they were tied to as declined to perform: Captain America: The First Avenger ⇒ Black Panther (the host's read). Vibranium, the shield metal, leads to Wakanda; adamantium is the X-Men analogue the MCU couldn't use.
    “So instead they use vibranium as their super metal.”

Drawn on by

What the speakers say drew on them or a film of theirs, marked the same way.

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever (2022): 2 lines

  1. theme (ancestral plane parallel) · through Black Panther (2018), which they were tied to as declined to perform: Black Panther ⇒ Black Panther: Wakanda Forever (the host's read). Van explains that in the first film T'Challa saw his father on the ancestral plane because he had questions for him, while Shuri saw Killmonger because she wanted revenge, the same motive Killmonger had.
    “Shuri did not want to be the Black Panther to protect Wakanda.”

  2. unmapped (CGI weakness) · through Black Panther (2018), which they were tied to as declined to perform: Black Panther ⇒ Black Panther: Wakanda Forever (the host's read). The first film's video-game-looking CGI showdown is doubled down on in the sequel, with flying robots and an aircraft-carrier fight.
    “You know, it just kind of looked like a video game a little bit.”

What was said about them, by kind

theme (1)

  1. theme (theme): Kendrick Lamar → Black Panther. Kendrick Lamar skipping the Oscars read as a referendum that the Academy did not acknowledge Black Panther enough.
    “you didn't really acknowledge Black Panther in the way that you should have at this award show”
