There is a reason this is the last scene in which Okoye appears before the credits roll. It speaks volumes about the power black women possess. Seeing anyone, let alone a black man, submit to a black woman on screen in this way is a rarity.

Gurira thinks the message in that scene is vital for everyone, especially women and girls.

“You expect to use your love for me and our love for each other to actually get me to betray my nation, and I would kill you first. I love that,” she said. “I think women don’t often get to portray that sort of nobility and that sort of integrity, especially [choosing that] over their love.” – Danai Gurira on The Scene™

In Black Panther, we see women going about their business and supporting each other. They argue with each other and have different points of view, but they are not pitted against each other and I think that’s extremely important. In doing this, audiences can get a sense of the fabric of Wakanda as a nation, where we see women alongside men and we see how much more effective a society can be if they allow women to explore their full potential. — Lupita Nyong’o

Just think about Peter graduating from high school. Then think about the entire class doing double-takes as Tony Stark and Pepper Potts pull up to the graduation ceremony. Tony “I like to hide my feelings under sass” Stark tries to pretend to be airy and cool but the truth is that he’s so proud of Peter and wants to support him and by the time Peter’s standing in his cap and gown, holding his diploma, Tony’s diva act has melted away and in its place is proud misty eyes and the hugest, goofiest Dad Grin on Tony’s face because that’s his Spider-Kid. Tony absolutely denies this look, of course. But Pepper took the pictures to prove it.
