I interviewed Ryan Coogler in 2023 and spoke to him about Rosemary. It was so evident how he felt about her in that interview. I also want to stress the importance of research and care when interviewing someone. I admire Ryan so much. A phenomenal, compassionate human being.

I love this moment between Ekko and Benzo so much. He got to tell Benzo how much he means to him, which he couldn't do in his universe. Instead, he saw him getting murdered when he was a child and it traumatized him. I'm so happy he got the chance to see him again one last time.
