I have to imagine that thousands of years of war started when Namor wouldn’t share his wing shoe things. Atlantis and Wakanda, the modern day warring families who represent one of the greatest tumultuous relationships in all of Marvel comics. They’ve had a very long history of competition, and are led by two of the strongest leaders in the pages of the comic books. T’Challa on one side, Namor the Sub Mariner on the other. Two of the most advanced civilizations on the planet Earth constantly at odds with each other makes for some great content, and the MCU is about to bring this confrontation to the forefront, likely with its own MCU twist. So what is this complicated history behind this even more complicated relationship? Let’s find out right now.

Both Wakanda and Atlantis are ancient civilizations. They have extremely old roots that go back far beyond their conflict of origin. So let's set the scene, just what are these ancient origins of these two incredibly advanced civilizations. Each of these incredibly Advanced kingdoms were ruled by great people, who would eventually go on to become superheroes in Protectors of Earth, not just their own countries. However, they tend to be a little, what's the word? Stubborn? Yeah I think that's safe to say. Truth be told, I think we're in for the next great rivalry of the MCU and one that will be unlike any we have seen before. Which nation do you think will come out on top when the two go to war in Black Panther Wakanda Forever?

    Which aspects of this relationship between these two civilizations do you think we'll see in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever?
  • @NickEclipse
    It’s truly a shame. I remember first hearing about the Namor rumors and I literally dreamed of a T’Challa vs Namor. But I’m happy with what we have instead. Mad respect to Chadwick
  • @senecavanzandt4425
    U know one thing that Namor and T'Challa have in common?? They both had a thing for Sue Storm. Only, T'Challa had respect for Susan's marriage to Reed; Namor was all on that Mr. Steal Your Girl energy...
  • @gener1k61
    You know I never understood why people miss those they don’t know. But I understand when Chadwick was taken from us.

    Namor's always been one of my main dudes since I was 16-17 (I'm 49 now btw). He was a part of Cap's Invaders team during WWII, a member of the Illuminati, a (begrudgingly) on again, off again Avenger & an X-Men member. He's a mutant w/ Superhuman strength lifting 90 tons on land and well over 100 tons underwater, Flight, he's bulletproof, he's also one 4 or 5 guys who've one-shotted the Hulk, but then they want me to believe that he could be stabbed in the chest by a Vibranium dagger 🗡? Really bro? Nah, I call bullshit. They completely missed me w/that. I'm not buying that at 100% off for free! Dude is a straight beast bro

    Namor is a major powerhouse of Marvel and one of the most complex characters in comics. Hope this rendition does him justice.
  • @lost-pond
    I love the description and synthesizing multiple tracks to a good holistic story. Well done Sir.
  • @vernonedmonds8596
    In the comics, Namor has a weakness. He weakens the longer he’s out of water
  • @Jamie_Winsh
    I'm so excited to see the wakanda and Atlantis war on the big screen. Also u know what would be awesome? If they didn't kill Namor off by the end of the film and because Namor is actually an anti hero, they keep him alive and in the future of the MCU Namor fight alongside the avengers in the fight against Kang and the big threats to come. I mean let's face it they probably will kill him off but it they shouldn't! They should have him be a hero too. That would be much more of a compelling thing to do
  • @benjaminconner2045
    Thank you for this...I had no idea... I'm not a comic book guy, but I respect it.....💯💯💯
  • @trexadvent4726
    What do you think is the best moment from the feud between Wakanda and Namor’s Atlantis in the comics? What type of relationship do you think Wakanda is going to have with Namor and the people of Atlantis/Talocan in the MCU after seeing him taking to Queen Ramona in the trailer for Black Panther Wakanda Forever movie like they've known each other for a long time, Is Atlantis/Talocan attacking Wakanda because of outside forces invading their waters for Vibranium?
  • @citysearchtv10
    There are two different takes of the character Namor one in the comics that go way back and the other in the movie Wakanda Forever,
  • @jonathanalcantara1800
    Chadwick’s brother even argued that Chadwick himself wouldn’t have wanted the character to die with him but instead passed to someone else. Just watched Wakanda forever and it’s sadly not the same without T’Challa.
  • @bigturk2973
    What a amazing movie and now to see it’s backed up by the comics makes it even better love it
  • @YaboiTL
    Namor vs blackpanther would have been epic, like bucky vs cap and hulk vs abomination
  • @velonn1
    Hype lever 9 …thousand! Get me a time machine now and take me to the quantum realm! Great Video Tomas!
