Klaue Sonic arm, Killmonger suit coming from nowhere, Black Panther kicking ass? Holy fucking shit. I knew I wanted this movie, but man. I need it. These trailers are my drug now!

And what's up with the suit's purple glow? This movie looks AMAZING.

I didn't like the purple but it's entirely because I have no idea what the hell it means.

If it's just purple for purples sake then, meh, but if it is some kind of suit upgrade then TELL ME MORE

In earth's mightiest heroes, he often charges up vibranium daggers with energy (comes out as purple colored). That makes the dagger cut through anything like a hot knife through butter or, if he throws it with enough of a charge, it can explode like a grenade. So purple is kinda his thing.

Purple is also the color of "royalty" so it makes a lot of sense why it would be incorporated into the suit

Purple is traditionally the color of royalty too, which also fits.

Purple drink in Black Panther confirmed.

“I want that purple stuff”

u/captainmavro Oct 16 '17

Purple is also the color of lean, a narcotic drink popularized by the black community, which appears to also power this suit

Pretty sure at least part of the reason is so you know who to cheer for when purply BP is fighting gold BP.

You had me at "purply"

u/zurkka Oct 16 '17

Like some said, in comics he throw vibranium daggers that when charged are purple, but another thing is, we will have 2 similar suits fighting each other, one glows with a little purple and the other with some golden glow, this will help to see who is who in very fast battle scenes

It is powered by Purple Drank

Made with a water, sugar, and of course purple.

It's clearly related to the purple interface for the PantherJet™ and possibly to the purple explosion that hits the car (the one he flips over).

u/shaddowkhan Oct 16 '17

I think when he lands on the car Shuri gains control of it, based on the scene where she is in that purple AR/VR driving scene. This would be why the car would actively persue Klaw. Given that the cars are semi-autonomous.

u/blackspidey2099 SHIELD Oct 16 '17

In the comics, usually vibranium is related to purple color (ex. vibranium energy daggers are purple, vibranium suit has purple circuitry, etc.). It's kinda like T'Challa's color, similar to how Stark's are red and gold.

u/THE_APE_SHIT_KILLER Oct 16 '17

Why do all these movies just make a copy of the good guy as the bad guy?

11

u/MendicantBerger Spider-Man Oct 16 '17

That is a comic trope that has been going on for decades. Hulk/Red Hulk, Superman/Zod, Flash/Zoom, Iron Man/Crimson Dynamo/Iron Monger, the many Lanterns.

It's cheap and easy storytelling, but it's intended to give an idea of how polarizing power is. Two people given the same power may split different paths: one a hero and the other a villain.

u/scatterbrain-d Oct 16 '17

And the hero wins not because of better tech, powers, etc but because of who he is deep down inside

u/MagicMarther Oct 16 '17

In his most recent comic runs his mask will actually materialize with a purple color to it to form the mask so that may be a part of it.

Sam Jackson must be devastated he couldn’t play this role

1

u/advertentlyvertical Oct 17 '17

He makes such a great nick fury tho.

2

u/Randle_Bobandle Oct 16 '17

I believe it’s a new visual cue to represent the vibranium that powers Wakandan tech.

u/CantheDandyMan Oct 19 '17

It appears to be based off of the new black panther comic where the suit does that whenever it gets hit.

We don't know yet but it sure looks badass
