The Hunger Games in 2013. The film's success comes as no surprise after its superb cinematography, the effective introduction of fascinating new characters, and its heart-wrenching plot.
The beautiful and deeply emotional sequel of Black Panther has many outstanding traits; however, Angela Basset's powerful performance as Queen Ramonda has to be one of the biggest accomplishments of the film, and many fans are predicting an Oscar nomination for her role. Ramonda has proved to be an incredible Queen and, most importantly, an extraordinary mother whose life and death significantly shaped the Black Panther. Throughout the films, she delivered many great quotes that perfectly sum her up as a character.
"Your Father And I Would Talk About This Day All The Time. He Is With Us, And It's Your Time To Be King."
Ramonda To T'Challa In Black Panther
T'Chaka's death deeply affected Ramonda, Shuri, and T'Challa; however, there was not much time to mourn, and the throne demanded a new king. In spite of the difficult circumstances, Queen Ramonda seemed to be able to know how to balance her family's grief with duty.
In this quote, Ramonda shows how much she misses her husband, but at the same time, how she recognizes his legacy with pride and nostalgia. It's a quality that she's clearly ed on to her children, who also live their lives to honor those that have come before them.
"Show Him Who You Are!"
Ramonda s T'Challa At The King's Ceremony
Ramonda recognized her son's attributes. He knew he was strong, clever, and capable of doing whatever he proposed himself to do. With great pride, she knew her son was an extraordinary individual.
When T'Challa is fighting against M'Baku for the throne in Black Panther, she screams this captivating line that proves how certain she is about T'Challa's worth, value, and victory. She says this quote again to Shuri in Wakanda Forever, which shows just how much she ired her children.
"Son, We Have Entertained This Charlatan For Too Long. Reject His Request."
Ramonda Advises King T'Challa About Killmonger
Killmonger is one of the best villains in the MCU, and when he arrives at the throne room to claim his title as king of Wakanda, Ramonda quickly picks up on his suspicious behavior and advises king T'Challa to reject his request.
Ramonda was great at reading other people. She was sensitive to other people's feelings and intentions. She knew right away that something was wrong with Killmonger and was straightforward in her opinion. Queen Ramonda was sassy but also well-mannered, as the quote shows.
"I Call Upon The Ancestors. I Will Call Upon Bast. I Am Here With My Son T'Challa. Heal Him"
Ramonda Leads The Heart-Shaped Herb Ritual
Queen Ramonda firmly believed in the value of her traditions and beliefs. She was devoted to the god Bast and other religious figures, to which, as the quote proves, she directly spoke to after giving the Heart-Shaped Herb to T'Challa.
Ramonda was deeply connected with an unseen realm of gods, spirits, and other beings, and she was never afraid to follow her gut and honor that which she could not see but believed in. Fortunately, most of the time, her requests were answered, and Bast granted the power of the Black Panther to T'Challa once more.
"I Am Queen Of The Most Powerful Nation In The World, And My Entire Family Is Gone. Have I Not Given Everything?"
Ramonda Gives A Powerful Speech In The Throne Room
Queen Ramonda delivered this compelling quote which undoubtedly became one of the best quotes in the Black Panther sequel. She had just lost Shuri to Namor one year after her son's death and a couple of years after his husband's murder at the United Nations.
Understandably so, her grief was immense. Although she was still Queen, she believed she had lost everything that was meaningful to her. The quote proves how much she valued her family and also how seriously she took her duty as Queen.
"I Am Not A Woman Who Enjoys Repeating Herself."
Ramonda And Shuri Meet Namor
There are many powerful characters Namor has defeated in Marvel comics that could fully appreciate how fearless Ramonda was when he met Namor for the first time and confronted him with this line.
Yes, she didn't know who Namor was, but that proves even more how courageous she is as a character, especially as a mother. After all, she was next to Shuri and was willing to fight whoever this person was if it endangered her last living child.
