24 Thirsty Reactions To Marvel's Latest Villain Namor In Wakanda Forever
The focus of Wakanda Forever was always going to be Chadwick's farewell, but a new character was also introduced, and people can't stop talking about him.
Namor showed up in Wakanda Forever like he owns the ocean, and the internet immediately lost its mind. One second you’re watching a villain with purpose, the next you’re scrolling past thirst tweets that read like they were written by somebody who needs to sit down and breathe.
Because this was not just “he’s cool” energy. People were out here saying “I am Vibranium,” demanding he get his own movie, and even joking “Daddy, is that you?” while the rest of the fandom tried to process the wings, the evil laugh, and the pure attitude. It’s complicated, too, with the film racking up major awards buzz and crossing huge box office numbers, making Namor feel like an instant icon instead of a side character.
Now the only question is, who is collecting all these reactions, and why are they all so thirsty?

The moment “Let’s research, Papa” hit the timeline, everyone started treating Namor like he was personally responsible for their entire personality shift.
Then “Give this man his own movie” and “Chillin’ like a villain” stacked up back-to-back, like the fandom couldn’t decide whether to stan or scream.
After “My eyes!” and “Wait just a minute!” showed up, the reactions turned into full chaos, because the wings and the menace were not playing around.
And once the box office and awards numbers came in, even the “Spoiler alert” crowd felt like they had to admit Namor is here to stay.
So, there you have it! - 24 of the most thirsty tweets about Namor.
With Black Panther: Wakanda Forever grossing more than $820 million at the box office, it's no wonder that Namor has become such an icon so quickly. The film received two Golden Globe nominations and six nominations at the Critics' Choice Awards.
The film has also become the sixth highest-grossing film of 2022. Chadwick would be so proud to see what the Black Panther franchise has become and the way he has been so beautifully remembered.
We would love to hear your opinions on the film (and Namor). You can share your thoughts with us in the comment section.
