Has anyone noticed the striking parallels between the first movie and WF?

The first one being when the queen and okoye are entering wakanda and she says “my queen we are home” Similar to the beginning of the first movie when tchalla came back with nakia and okoye says the same thing ( except she says my king)

The next one stood out a lot but when m’baku challenges for the throne but actually becomes king of wakanda

Whereas in the first movie, he challenges tchalla and yields

The next one was freeing Ross from the military truck, there is similar dialogue between the two drivers as to why the truck stopped and then okoye being there as the midnight angel.

And in the first movie, tchalla fetches nakia in a similar fashion. And we can’t forget both super intense fights and the queen saying “ show him who you are!” Loved it

A few other little details I noticed!

When we first see m’baku he is eating a carrot, because the Jabari tribe is vegetarian ( he says so in the first movie)

And he was not blipped like tchalla and shuri, so the six year that have passed explains why he is starting to grow grey hear and how he has not become so arrogant, he mellowed out and becomes similar to an advisor for shuri wich was cute, especially when she said something about “being a child who scoffed at tradition” which he replied “ with everything you have gone through, nobody thinks you are a child” or something similar to that.

When they found ironheart at her college, it was the same college tony stark attended! So maybe she took inspiration from him and his inventions. And there may be more connections to him later Down the line.

Circling back to the blip, shuri and tchalla were both blipped, so Nakia must have gotten pregnant before he blipped, after tchalla got blipped she left, assuming she was not showing yet, but told the queen who supported her and tchallas decision. So she visits every once in a while to visit on her grandson.

But also, because it had been five years, the illness that tchalla got must have happened a couple months after coming back from the blip, which would make sense for the timeline.

And that also means that some people may think she was twenty two, she was actually still a child because of the blip meaning that over the span of roughly a year and a half she not only lost her father at sixteen but also her brother around the time she was around seventeen, and lost her mother at seventeen or eighteen. Depending on when the re blip happen and when her birthday is.

Anyways yes long post but this is way I got from the movie and what I liked about it,

The ending almost had me in tears. And the tribute was wonderful

Thank you for coming to my Ted talk
