Black Panther: 20 WTF Moments

4. Hell Hath No Fury

Black Panther Okoye

Okoye is a legitimate bad-ass throughout Black Panther and definitely ranks up there with the best characters in the whole movie, but her final act in it is just plain stupid.

Faced with her boyfriend W'Kabi attempting to kill her king with his charging rhinoceros, she simply stands in the way and gives him a stern "now boyfriend, we've discussed this" sort of look and he looks sheepish and surrenders to her.

This was a man of principle, whose family's murder drove him into a dangerous allegiance with a new king and apparently he's willing to give it all up and surrender simply because his girlfriend looks at him disappointed?
