Summary

It's finally here β€” the last part of the epic trilogy of podcasts that wasn't meant to be a trilogy, but we got carried away and now have to pretend that we meant it as a trilogy all along a la Scream and The Matrix. Anyway, in this episode, Chris Hewitt, Helen O'Hara, Amon Warmann, and Ben Travis argue the toss over the reader/listener-voted list of the 50 Greatest Movie Heroes Of All Time, as seen in the last issue of Empire. And things get heated as they enter the top ten. There will be shocks. There will be surprises. There will be terrible impressions, and even worse opinions. There's only one thing for it: steel yourself and enter. Enjoy.

Hello pod, I'm Chris Hewitt and welcome to the belated third and final part of our

0:19.6

mini podcast trilogy dedicated to Empire's list of the 50 greatest movie heroes of all

0:26.0

time as voted for by the readers of Empire magazine and the listeners of this very podcast.

0:33.2

Anyway, it's time to cut to the chase as we enter the top 10 and when I say we, I mean Helen

0:38.3

O'Hara, Ben Travis, I'm on warm and myself. And if you haven't already listened to parts 1 and 2,

0:46.0

do check them out after this on the podcast app of your choice. And I have to say this is definitely

0:52.5

it. The last of a series that started out as a single episode of no more than an hour in length

0:59.4

until it became apparent that none of us could keep our trap shot when it came to talk about

1:03.3

characters we love and in some cases love not so much. Anyway, I say last but we might do an

1:09.1

emissions podcast down the line. No bad Chris, bad. Anyway, here we go. Straight into it kind of

1:15.6

with number 10 on the list. Enjoy. It's number 10. Amon, do you want to, do you want to do the,

1:21.9

do we get the Lubick grants and music going here?

1:34.4

Whenever you're ready, whenever you're ready. You want to come in.

1:36.8

It is a black Panther Tachala, the warrior king of Wakanda. He is at number 10. And yes,

1:45.1

love this character. It's interesting. I think if you look at Thor who we talked about a while ago,

1:51.7

obviously. He is a king. He prints you, you know, becomes a king. And in the first film,

2:01.8

between him and Anthony Hopkins and Veneru. So there was some regalness that you've got. But

2:09.1

the journey that character goes through has seen him become less and less regal. The more we've

2:14.5

seen of him with black Panther. The first moment you see him is like the way this guy carries himself

2:21.1

is different. And you really get that. And even from, you know, from Civil War to Black Panther

2:31.2

to Infinity War to Endgame, he always carries himself in that regal way. And that for me is a big,

2:38.0

big deal. And I just, I love also how wise he is as well. And his, he talked about somebody who's
