This weekend, Ryan Coogler’s Black Panther blew audiences away with its majestic storytelling, jaw-dropping action, proud celebration of Pan-African culture, and bevy of incredibly cool heroes, including a trio of incredibly cool women. There’s a lot to go gaga over in the MCU’s latest marvel. But this post is about the one and only M’Baku, the grunting chieftain who stole our hearts.

Twitter is aflame with lust and love over M’Baku (Winston Duke).

congratulations to everyone who spent the weekend developing a crush on M'Baku/Winston Duke

I just don’t understand why more people aren’t talking about how FIIIINEEE M’Baku is……. Jesus I’d risk it ALL!!! I’d even bring the ovaries out of retirement, cash in my 401k, start back eating pork or be a vegan… whichever he prefers 😍😍😍 #blackpanther #MBaku #WAKANDA pic.twitter.com/G5IzhHbIqj

My favorite thing about him is that he laughs at his own jokes. #mbaku #blackpanther pic.twitter.com/G0JgEdbuZK
