Thanks to Black Panther: Wakanda Forever we finally got to see the MCU's take on Namor, everyone's favorite winged-ankle marine-based mutant. Fans are thrilled to finally get the swaggering swimmer on the big screen, and some think he may be the best Marvel villain in years. Be sure to give these folks a follow and vote up your favorites.
One thing is certain - Tenoch Huerta is a superstar. This isn’t a Namor or Talokan any of us could have guessed and the way Coogler and Joe Robert Cole reimagined the canon and even the meaning of “Namor” is pretty incredible. #WakandaForeverpic.twitter.com/bu86dzFmqT

Namor was such a great antagonist — colonizers, past and present, are the film’s actual villains — and I love that he was so wild and ruthless. Like, DAMN. He wasn’t kidding about that “no love” part.
One thing I love about the MCU is that it's now at a point that it doesn't have to nerf any of its new characters or tone down their powers. Namor is terrifying in his power in #WakandaForever in a way Phase 1 villains & heroes never got a chance to be.
