While Marvel’s president has confirmed that the MCU will last until 2032, with more than 39 series and movies, superhero productions have delved into different genres such as espionage, comedy and horror.
But until now we couldn’t see what a Marvel superhero movie or series would look like in a format like soap operas. So it had to be a follower who was responsible for actually doing this.
With the release of “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever,” TikTok user @iamelimckenzie noted that the plot of the two movies could be combined for a great story in a soap opera.
And it is that the relationship between T’Challa (Chadwick Boseman) and Nakia (Lupita Nyong’o), the royal family of Wakanda, as well as the appearance of the villains Killmonger and Namor (Tenoch Huerta) create intense drama and romance in the screen.
- Chadwick Boseman also appeared in the film Draft Day, which is available on ViX+, ViX’s premium streaming service.
This is what “Black Panther” would look like if it were a soap opera
Considering these things and the familiar format of Mexican soap opera imports, iamelimckenzie edited a video in which he transforms “Black Panther” into a soap opera.
The video is accompanied by the song ‘Gata Salvaje’ by Pablo Montero and shows a story full of love, intrigue and drama. Even the supposed telenovela would bear the name “Pantera Albina”.
Your video editor takes care of all the details to make the Marvel movie look like a real soap opera, from the Televisa and Univisión logo to the names of the actors and director translated into Spanish.
Also, since these are parodies, the user iamelimckenzie doesn’t miss an opportunity to inject humor into his videos and put nicknames for the characters, “Mexicanized” titles and general sound effects like gunshots.
