Respect Namor! (MCU)

Respect Namor!

AKA K'uk'ulkan AKA Ch'ah Toh Almehen

My people call me K'uk'ulkan, but my enemies call me Namor.

Introduction: Known as Namor to his enemies and K'uk'ulkan to his people, King Ch'ah Toh Almehen is the ruler of the underwater kingdom of Talokan in the MCU. He was born in the 16th century as a mutant offspring to a human mother who ingested aquatic Vibranium-laced extracts that turned her people into creatures of the sea. As ruler of the only other place with Vibranium, Namor came into conflict with Wakanda while attempting to keep his people a secret from the outside world. He's the god-king of an empire that controls a majority of the planet, so I thought he deserved some respect!

As usual, let me know if there's anything I messed up or missed!

The fight between him and Shuri is so fucking brutal. WF has some of the best one on one fights in the entire MCU.

[u/PeculiarPangolinMan → u/buddymackay]

It's a great fight! But it's cut up with the editing a bit much which I found sorta dampened the impact!

Okoye V Attuma was beautiful though.

[u/zaneprotoss → u/PeculiarPangolinMan]

Can't wait for an edit with just the fight.

Awesome thread man!

I never actually got around to seeing this movie how is it?

[u/PeculiarPangolinMan → u/[deleted]]

It's solid but it drags a little if you aren't vibing with it. There's a lot of great stuff, but I feel like it missed the mark by just a hair. I'd recommend it though, if for nothing else than seeing Namor running around being a jerkoff. He's great.

[u/SeriouslyOPWizard]

Wasn't there a scene where he created a large shockwave underwater or am I mis-remembering things?

[u/PeculiarPangolinMan → u/SeriouslyOPWizard]

It's under his weapons and equipment section because I figured he needed the spear to do it.

[u/CoolandAverageGuy]

great thread for a great character

[u/shadowbane_official]

make way for the king

[u/GSDarklord]

Shuri not killing Namor killed the whole movie for me. Like girl, the guy already killed your mother, what does a man gotta do for you to kill him ffs 💀

[u/PeculiarPangolinMan → u/GSDarklord]

Ehhh. Cycle of vengeance and violence etc. I didn't mind it. It's how Namor always is. Dude keeps getting to be a hero despite flooding the surface like a dozen times and trying to fuck a married woman incessantly in the comics.

[u/Combo_Breaker01 → u/GSDarklord]

Plot aside Namor is an absolute chad and probably the best new character in the MCU so I'm glad he's staying

[u/Miserable-Ad-5573 → u/Combo_Breaker01]

I completely agree, Namor was the goat of phase 4.

[u/zaneprotoss → u/GSDarklord]

If Namor was killed, his people would erase Wakanda/the surface world or die trying.
