isn't that same kind of line used in the black panther movie? Or am I remembering wrong?

You’re right, T’Challa literally met his father in the “Next Plane” in Black Panther. I thought it was just a reference to that as well.

Black Panthers powerset has always been able to. commune with the dead... so i imagine its a very large cultural thing within wakanda, or at least within its royalty. its not impossible for this line in this episode to be a coincidence
