Maybe some of you have seen those YouTube videos where people have posted snippets of Disney (or other) songs that match up with Marvel Cinematic Universe characters. (Do a YouTube search for "Marvel character Disney theme songs" and you'll see what I mean.) I get a bit of a kick out of those videos because I often do the same in my head--insert Disney songs (or musical theater songs in general) for characters, or for moments they'd fit. (It isn't Marvel, but be honest...that scene in Wonder Woman where Diana finds Steve Trevor on the beach? How many of you were mentally singing, "What would I give to live where you are?/What would I pay to stay here beside you?")
This was especially prevalent during one of my favorite Disney Studios releases, the story of an African prince who is driven from his throne and homeland by a scarred, scheming relative, and, after speaking to the spirit of his father, returns to challenge the usurper to a battle to win back his throne and save his kingdom. I am, of course, referring to Black Panther.
So imagine T'Challa on the ancestral plane after Killmonger has defeated him, searching for answers...
T'Challa:
Where has the starlight gone?
Dark is the day,
How can I find my way home?
Home is an empty dream,
Lost to the night...
Father, I feel so alone.
You promised you'd be there
Whenever I needed you...
Whenever I call your name,
You're not anywhere...
I'm trying to hold on,
Just waiting to hear your voice...
One word, just a word will do,
To end this nightmare...
When will the dawning break?
Oh endless night,
Sleepless, I dream of the day
When you were by my side,
Guiding my path...
Father, I can't find the way...
You promised you'd be there
Whenever I needed you...
Whenever I call your name,
You're not anywhere.
I'm trying to hold on,
Just waiting to hear your voice...
One word, just a word will do,
To end this nightmare...
Ancestral Spirits:
I know that the night must end
And that the sun will rise...
And that the sun will rise...
I know that the clouds must clear
And that the sun will shine...
And that the sun will shine...
T'Challa and Ancestral Spirits:
I know that the night must end
And that the sun will rise...
And that the sun will rise...
I know that the clouds must clear
And that the sun will shine...
And that the sun will shine...
I know, yes, I know,
The sun will rise...
Yes, I know I know...
The clouds must clear,
I know that the night must end,
I know that the sun will rise,
And I'll hear your voice deep inside...
I know that the night must end,
And that the clouds must clear...
The sun, the sun will rise...
The sun, the sun will rise!
So, anyone else got any Disney songs/lyrics that fit into MCU moments?
