Welcome back everyone this is going to be my new black panther 2 wakanda forever first look video
we just got a new first look at namor some of the atlanteans as well as rebel williams iron
heart character and shuri and okoye obviously the big stuff though is neymar just confirming
some stuff about his character during the movie the writer of doctor strange 2 was also talking
about his character because he is a member of marvel's illuminati so i'll explain that too
and there is a big tie to the eternals movie as well and what's happening in thor love and
thunder which is coming out in a couple days if you're brand new to the channel be sure to
subscribe to get all the videos we're also doing a ticket giveaway for thor love and thunder all you
have to do to enter is be a subscriber and just post all your name more theories on the video
i'll name a new giveaway winner during this video too but the first two promos that marvel dropped
are for namor himself who's being played by tenoch huerta from narcos mexico you may remember him
from something but in these promos he's wearing different versions of his armor like his normal
armor but then his god enhanced avatar level armor like black panther wears his black panther suit
even though technically black panther isn't meant to be the full-on avatar of boss the same way that
khonshu has an avatar in mark spector who becomes moon knight black panther has a more equitable
relationship with boss like she doesn't manage him day to day but they just confirmed that namor
is going to have a similar relationship with one of the gods of the aztec people
also clarifying that a lot of the atlanteans will either come from ancient aztecs or ancient mayans
but if you look at his version of what you would call like the black panther style armor like his
armor suit it's inspired by ancient aztec designs but his headpiece here does feature
a depiction of the aztec god named tapatio he also has the comic book wings on his ankles too
those give namor the ability to fly through the air so namor might be flying during this movie
but the concept of the jaguar god comes right out of real world aztec mythology
he's the god of darkened caves earthquakes echoes in jaguars obviously god of earthquakes
where does that sound familiar uh reading on those tremors it was a mild subduction under
the african plate do we have a visual how are we handling it nat it's an earthquake under the ocean
we handle it by not handling it now everybody's trying to see how they're connecting all these
dots like maybe that underwater earthquake had something to do with atlantis neymar and
the jaguar god in the mcu during endgame but if it wasn't clear atlantis and the atlanteans are
going to descend from a group of aztecs and mayans maybe that broke off from their culture and just
lived in secret this whole time and it's gonna be a similar backstory that wakanda had living
in secret with precious resources evolving over time becoming much more advanced than a lot of
the above land cultures the group of gods that the atlanteans and the mcu would worship are called
the teteo that's the name of their ruling council of gods like on moon knight the pantheon that
khonshu comes from has many many different gods that are part of it like boss for instance the
goddess that black panther in the wakandan people worship is the sister of khonshu she comes from
that egyptian pantheon but they have their own ruling council that we saw during the moon knight
series that are called the ennead the aztecs have their own version of that too the aztecs pantheon
was supposedly formed by a god called quetzalcoatl much more ancient much more powerful aztec god
big connection to the eternals movie too ajak's character who salma hayek played was worshipped by
ancient aztecs as quetzalcoatl they believed that she was their god obviously in the mcu the lore is
a little bit different the backstory they're meant to be celestial robots basically just pretending
to be gods because of their advanced technology and their abilities but now they're saying that
quetzalcoatl was an actual mcu god in these other pantheon of gods including the jaguar god
that namor forms the contract with but here's the connection to thor love and thunder because the
teteo aztec of gods their pantheon mostly appeared during the thor comics they also appear during the
thanos infinity gauntlet storyline during the godhead scene so now it makes sense why marvel
would release thor love and thunder with all these different gods along with moon knight with this
other god this other pantheon to explain what's going on with gods in general in the mcu and sort
of set some of these big concepts up before they use it as a huge twist during black panther 2.
so for instance when the gods are having their godhead meeting with zeus here with thor
infiltrating in omnipotent city you have hundreds and hundreds of different pantheons of gods in
attendance here it's meant to be gods from every different culture like all the most powerful gods
the any it is in the background conscious pantheon because bost is sitting right here
the aztec pantheon that namor worships and the mcu gets his powers from is also here in attendance
but it sounds like he'll have a similar relationship with the atlanteans that boss
had with the ancient black panther characters so the first black panther was named bashanga
he formed a contract with the goddess bost who led him to the heart-shaped herb which
gave him all of his abilities and gave him the power to unite all the different warring tribes
and form the wakandan nation it also gave him some of his supernatural abilities too that were
passed down like black panther is known as the king of the dead that's because he can access
the memories of all the previous black panthers it's kind of like avatar the last airbender with
aang accessing the memories of all the previous avatars same thing but in the marvel cinematic
universe also the heart-shaped herb is what they use as a transfer medium to help them access the
different dimension that is the ancestral plane which we got a big shout out during moon knight
they kind of clarify the afterlife in the mcu just different dimensions based on your belief system
so for instance when black panthers people die that worship boss they go to the ancestral plain
different dimension from the duat where the people who worship the traditional egyptian gods go i'll
explain more about that during black panther ii because even though bost is a member of conscious
pantheon you think that her worshipers would also go to that same egyptian afterlife dimension but
remember it's different for every culture so like you can worship the same god but i think part of
the idea is that she's not a member of the enid so her belief system is just a little bit different
they kind of clarify that in the comics but it gets a little more complicated and i don't think
they're going to get into that during the movie so you don't need to worry about it too much
but presumably when namor's ancestors broke off from the aztec culture and from the mayan culture
informed atlantis it was a similar situation with them forming a contract with their gods
helping them survive and form this special community hidden from the rest of the world
if you look at one of the other promos too you can see atom he's full atlantean that's why his skin
is blue but he also has a lot of aquatic features too the reason why namor skin looks like a normal
person's is because one of his parents is from the land the other is atlantean it's
kind of like an aquaman type backstory where one parent is normal and the other parent is atlantean
even though technically neymar came first like they call him the first mutant because he was the
first mutant character whose comic book debuted in the real world i think what they'll say is they'll
just say that his father came from the ancient aztecs and his mother came from the atlanteans
but like atom for instance is 100 atlanteans so that's why he looks like all the other atlanteans
it's the same way in the comics all the atlanteans in the marvel comics have blue skin like this
looking at his armor it looks like a lot of it was made from shark bones it's all pretty hardcore but
really cool looking it's kind of the same thing with the production design during the aquaman
movie too but i think the whole idea in making him part aztec and kind of leaning on that area
of the world is so that marvel can make this feel as different from the aquaman movie as possible
but that comparison is gonna be there no matter what like people are gonna make that connection
no matter what but reportedly the whole reason why namor hates wakanda hates black panther has
a big beef with him is because of something that riri williams does while she's a student at mit
and they sort of get caught in the crossfire like black panther and the wakandans get blamed
for a lot of what happens to atlantis during the movie but it's a very captain america civil war
type of situation where you have two groups of characters that are fighting but it's because of
something that a third group does to manipulate them but in this case i think that it's going
to be some other group there might be some hidden villain in the movie that's pushing
what's happening with rio williams and there's just a big accident that happens and they blame
black panther and wakanda for it supposedly it has something to do with riri williams
creating her new arc reactor technology her new iron man armor suit that's gonna be like her
mark one type of suit like she'll have her own version of a cave type scene
they kind of did that in the comics before she created like the full-on iron heart suit
this is what her arc reactor design is gonna look like so it's not like she's just gonna take iron
man's old arc reactor and just repurpose it but it sounds like she's creating some new technology
in there some accident or some other group tries to manipulate her and what's going on with that
and that leads to the discovery of atlantis and something really bad happens there like i
said they're meant to have a similar backstory to wakanda like hidden nation with precious resources
advanced technology that the rest of the world wants to get their hands on and i think that's
why namor and the atlanteans are so worried but if they're going to explain what happened to t'challa
black panther during the movie i think it's the easiest thing to say that namor winds up being
the person to kill him or something that he does leads to the death of black panther even if he
himself doesn't directly kill him the more recent comics had tried to portray him like an anti-hero
but during the big secret wars time runs out lead up like we're happening right now with the
incursions namor was a pretty straight up villain in fact right before the secret wars event started
before battle world started namor winds up getting killed by black panther but i don't think that
they're going to do the cabal or anything like that but they did have a lot of plot with him
in the illuminati in the cabal which obviously is a big connection to doctor strange too the writer
of doctor strange too said that the reason why they didn't have namor on their team because that
was a thought initially was just because they were using the character during black panther
2 and kevin feige wanted him to debut during that movie not during doctor strange 2 and there were
just so many people from them to pick from in doctor strange too because they're gonna feature
riri williams first version of an iron heart armor like her version of a mark one during the movie
we might not see like the full-on iron heart armor till the iron heart series next year
i don't know if she's going to be involved with the armor wars iron man series because that's
going to be more of a war machine series maybe we'll see white vision come back for that too
but because there's so much iron man stuff tied to the iron heart mythology in armor wars war machine
it sounds like there's going to be a lot of iron man stuff happening in the next year or two my
