In Saturday Night Live’s Black Panther sketch, T’Challa (Chris Redd) journeys to Djalia, the purple-skied spirit realm that hosts the souls of all the previous Black Panthers.
M’Butu married into the family, which is why he gets to live out eternity in the spirit realm.
Enter Uncle M’Butu (Kenan Thompson), grilling up some lion cheeseburgers and warning of the dangers of swamp mouth.
However, as T’Challa’ great-great-grandfather (Sterling K. Brown) and great aunt (Leslie Jones) explain, the souls of all members of their family rest in the spirit realm — even the ones who married into it.
