Thinking about when Katia woke up tied to the chair and 47 reached out to touch her on the shoulder (bean behavior) and she leaned away to try to avoid him but couldn't so she had a minor flashback and then like a minute later when he's holding her hand and she's in the midst of it, giving his hand a twist so he doesn't let go bc this is the first time in years she's able to remember her parents' faces.

I rewatched the movie with my mom and when this scene happened I liked the thought of the dragon stopping for a moment, thrown by hearing the one word she wanted to hear since before her children perished.

you don’t get it. you don’t get it. i will always think about how shuri all but ran to the ancestral plane, despite not believing in it. how, despite her misgivings, it was a chance to see her mother or brother again;
and i will always think about how she met killmonger instead: someone she deemed an enemy and a threat to those she loved and stood for. always separate and far away, always just a warning—look, this is the wrong path. you should never take it.
and how killmonger convinced her that they were the same. you chose me.
i will always think about shuri after, waking up on that cold metal slab, now hollow in a way no one else will ever be able to comprehend;
how, as she stood up, her loss finally seemed real to her, because even in a place where her wishes to see her family could have been granted, they weren’t. they didn’t come. to her, they chose not to, and so a man like killmonger guided her into her first breaths as the Black Panther instead.
i will always think about how broken by grief she sounded, and angry, and most of all, above all, so utterly alone:
“I saw no one Nakia! I SAW NO ONE! Why did they not show up? Why did they abandon me?”

’Tis the Season to Kill the Dead-Mom Holiday Movie Trope
"Look, I get it: I’d also be relieved to find out my new bonk buddy wasn’t a philanderer. I’m not mad at Cameron; I’m mad that the dead wife-mom is a plot device in more Christmas movies than I can stuff in a stocking."
Before you curl up with a holiday movie, check out Cat Modlin-Jackson's new Longreads feature. It might just make you think differently about those festive frolics.
