King T'Chaka, to his son.

Black Panther is a superhero film produced by Marvel Studios and distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures, based on the Black Panther comics of the same name, released in February 16, 2018 in the United States. It was directed and co-written by Ryan Coogler.

It tells the story of T'Challa's ascension to the throne of Wakanda after his father, the previous Black Panther, was killed in a bombing in Vienna (as depicted in Captain America: Civil War).

Tropes used in Black Panther include:
  • Advanced Ancient Acropolis
  • Amazon Brigade: The Dora Milaje is a played straight example.
  • Animal-Themed Superbeing
  • Big Damn Heroes: The Jabari tribe. Later in the movie, they fished out a comatose T'Challa and brought him to safety.
    • The Jabari tribe shows up in the film's final climax to team up with T'Challa and friends.
  • Bodyguard Babes: Played straight with the Dora Milaje, once again.
  • Crystal Spires and Togas: Wakanda is more technological advance and enlighten compare to the rest of the world, they are this.
  • Cool Starship: Wakanda has little versions of these, similar to the pin jet.
  • Cool Train: The mining train is this.
  • Dark and Troubled Past: Erik Killmonger, whose father was killed in the beginning part of the movie by T'Chaka, who left Erik as an orphan and grew up in poverty in Ohio.
  • Domed Hometown: Wakanda became this, since they have a force field wall to protect and camouflage the whole city.
  • Fantastic Flora: The Heart-Shaped Herb, which is native only to Wakanda.
  • Hologram: These pop out in their advance bracelets, since the latter also functions like a smartphone.
  • Magic Meteor: In the prologue, when the meteor which had Vibranium fell into Africa. The surrounding land, plants, and animals got powers and develop in strange yet fantastical ways. The Five warring tribes took advantage of this.
  • Magic From Technology: Some of Wakanda's scientific advancements are this or appear like this, especially to guys, like Everett Ross.
  • Magnetic Weapons
  • Noodle Incident: Nakia explains a bit that she made a mess involving poaches and ivory.
  • Orphan's Plot Trinket: Erik has a Wakandan ring of T'Challa's grandfather which he threads as a necklace of sorts.
  • Sibling Team: Shuri and T'Challa are this.
  • Space Clothes: Wakanda is a blend of this and various African cultural clothes.
  • Spandex, Latex, or Leather: The Black Panther suit, especially when Shuri provided upgrades to the original suit, by giving updated versions of it.
  • Thunderbolt Iron: Every weapon in Wakanda is this trope, because of the Vibranium there (Even that prosthetic arm which also functions as a weapon that Klaue uses).
  • What the Hell Hero: T'Challa asked this to his Father, when he returned back to the Ancestor/Heaven realm, because T'Chaka unintentionally created Killmonger.

T'Chaka:I chose a lie.
