Chadwick Boseman Might Be Sick of Saying "Wakanda Forever": A Theory

We think Chadwick Boseman is finally sick of being asked to do the 'Wakanda Forever' salute.

There's no denying Black Panther was a cultural phenomenon that will go down as an absolute classic in the history books, but the Panther himself, Chadwick Boseman, might finally be done with playing his part.

People have started to notice that Boseman has become less and less enthusiastic in public appearances when asked to do the 'Wakanda Forever' salute.

Looks like a man that's pretty done with the pose to me, but in case you're not convinced, we will now present to you (almost) hard evidence to support this theory.

Evidence Article #1: He looks medically deceased when asked to do the 'Wakanda Forever' salute.

While Boseman gave enthusiastic salutes at the start of the press junket months ago, his salutes have become... a little less enthusiastic.

Evidence Article #2: When a student asks him to say "Wakanda forever", he kinda rolls his eyes.

Okay, he may just have been feeling a little overwhelmed after being awarded a doctorate from Howard University, but his face, after a fellow graduate says "Wakanda forever", says "I'm not here for it."

You can almost pinpoint the exact moment his soul separates from his body and escapes this situation.

Evidence Article #3: It's been nearly five months of hype.

Okay, this one's not actually evidence, but it's also very logical. After being in the spotlight for months and being asked to repeat a phrase or enact a salute, most people would very likely get sick of it and want to call quits.

I mean, Michael B. Jordan already has.

While Wakanda might very well live on, Chadwick Boseman's subservience to the fans and the media that want that iconic shot probably won't.

You've gotta feel for the guy, despite making serious coin for this movie, he doesn't owe the fans or the media anything at all so I think it's up to us to refrain from it. Wakanda forever, but Boseman when he damn feels like it.
