I’m so sick of people compairing Black Panther to the Lion King
People would have never compared this movie to the Lion King if it didn’t take place in Africa. Oh you don’t believe me? Well let me prove you wrong, because the Lion King shares as many similarity with Thor: Ragnarok as it does with Black Panther.
1) The father of the hero dies in front of him, which would make him the next king
2) A relative who wanted the throne for a long time appears
3) The villan makes sure that the hero won’t return and makes everyone think he’s dead
4) While the hero is gone the villan takes over and everything is going down
5) Hero is in a unknown territory and makes weird friends
6) Hero meets badass woman he used to love/be friends with/admire
7) Villan finds allies who think everything will be better under their reign, but eventually realizes it’s not
8) An (wise/old) friend of the family helps the hero agains the villan and guids him on his way
9) Hero has a vision of his dead father
10) Heros friends fight against villans army
11) Hero fights villan, but doesn’t kill them themselves (Thor Ragnarok is more like Lion King her than Black Panther)
12) Hero becomes king, but their way of living changes
They’re all basically Hamlet with a happier ending. Which was itself based on an old Danish saga.
