Lots of questions about Namor and the Talokanil are answered in this podcast about Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. We also talk about mutants, Ironheart, Midnight Angels, Val & Ross, as well as the mid-credits scene.
Show notes…
Namor: In the comics, he rules Atlantis. In the movie, it’s much different. He is the ruler of Talokan and the Talokanil.

Namora: Namor’s cousin! The movie doesn’t make the relationship clear, and she doesn’t have the powers that she does in the comics.

Riri: IRON HEART! She’s new to the MCU but she’s been around in the comics for about 8 years, which is new for the comics. Lots of story potential with her, and she has connections to the Ten Rings.

Aneka: In the comics. It’s actually a pretty cool story.

Midnight Angels: Not a lot to it. It’s special Wakandan battle armor used in the Doomwar.

Everett Ross: We’ve talked about him before, and he has a long history of working with the Wakandans. Pretty good movie to comic translation here.

Val: A different character in the comics than the movies, but you should expect some nasty things to come from her, especially with the Thunderbolts movie coming up.
