And the final shot of the trailer shows T'Challa's suit glowing purple as he readies his claws to do...something to...someone. Panther looks undeniably bada**, and it sure doesn't hurt that Gil Scott-Heron's iconic song "The Revolution Will Not Be Televised" serves as potent dramatic backing, reaching its crescendo at precisely this moment.

Despite some misgivings about those visual effects, it's safe to say that Ryan Coogler and his fine cast seem to be doing everything they can to bring T'Challa's story to the screen in persuasive and jaw-dropping fashion. If the end product can maintain this quality of world-building, it should be one of the MCU's most unique efforts to date.
