- Black Panther is emblematic of the most productive responses to bigotry: rather than going for hearts and minds of racists, it celebrates what those who choose to prohibit equal representation and rights are ignoring, willfully or not.

Wa...
“Wakanda Foreveris more than a phrase, it’s a promise that a civilization can go forward in the face of unspeakable hardship and inescapable grief. That they could lose a beloved leader like T’Challa and still persevere forward and fulfill the promise that their civilization will be here tomorrow and the day after that.

- Captain America: The First Avenger (2011) To kickstart your binge through the MCU, look no further than Captain America’s origin story. As its title implies, The First Avenger is the first film in the MCU timeline and takes places decades before any of the other entries on this list.
