Black Panther: Long Live the King (f.k.a. Wakanda Forever)

This edit is nearly flawless. I'll start with the positives!
I really like that the opening scene is extended to show the rest of what happens, T'Chaka killing N'Jobu and leaving young Killmonger all alone, Then, with the inclusion of the deleted scene of young T'Challa at the beginning, it really set the stage for the emotional epic that this movie is. (The dialog of the scene is made doubly more powerful by the tragic loss of Chadwick Boseman).
The deleted scene with Ross at the end, before the UN scene, gives us another great moment with Boseman's T'Challa (though this scene is slightly washed out, could use some color correction), and moving the UN scene from the mid credits to this point, before the final scene in Oakland, is another great improvement. Realistically, Wakanda should reveal itself to the world before landing a UFO in a civilian area, so this change works really well!

The only nitpicks I have are audio related. The credits have a noticeably audio cut from where the mid credits scene was removed, which could be smoother. Similarly, in cutting some bad CGI from the mine fight, there is another noticeable cut in the audio that makes it feel like a jump cut as Killmonger and T'Challa fall into the mines.

Otherwise, it's a great edit and got me super excited for Wakanda Forever, which I just saw earlier today. (Quick review: It's fantastic!)

The second edit I watched before the official release of Wakanda Forever ( ;-D ), this takes a great movie & makes it even better. I admit, something that annoyed me about the first film was how, despite how self-contained it was, you were still expected to see Civil War before this movie, & now that problem no longer exists. While I love the original opening (with how the kids get a glimpse of a afrofuturist utopia, only to then subvert that with the reveal that T'Chaka orphaned his nephew), I love how personal this feels for T'Challa going forward in the movie. The restructured ending is also excellent, with T'Challa meeting with Ross before the UN & the trip back to Oakland, making events more logical but also still emotionally satisfying.

The only negative I have is where I agree with josephdquinn, where cutting out some of the CGI results in T'Challa & Kilmonger just popping into the mines as result, but that's a very minor gripe. Highly recommended!

Just when you though Black Panther was the best marvel film in a long time,Lapis Molari arrives to prove in this edit that he can make it way better.Be it the reordering of certain scenes,incorporation of deleted material and the trimming of the god awful CGI snozefest at the end.This truly is the definitive version of Black Panther to be watched by all MCU fans and those beginning to find their footing in this franchise as well.

Amazing edit, without a doubt better than the original but I think the audio quality could definitely be better also no subtitles for the non-English parts also he didn't take out the whip my hair reference or what are those joke but other than those nitpicks this edit makes the original completely obsolete

I love Black Panther as is, but I love this version too. The reincorporation of the scene with T'Challa being lovingly raised in Wakanda in contrast to Erik being left without a father is really great, and I appreciate some of the lesser CGI moments being trimmed out. Great stuff.
