Synopsis:
The people of Wakanda fight to protect their home from intervening world powers as they mourn the death of King T'Challa. The Midnight Angel Edition reintegrates 4 new deleted scenes, and 10 more minutes of footage, as well as restructing the ending of the film for a more fluid finale, with the mid-credits now being attached to the rest of the film.
Intentions:
Sitting in the theatre, there felt like there was some character stuff missing with Okoye and Ross, and it was good to see more for them on the Blu-Ray. The mid-credits smelt suspiciously like Spider-Man: Far From Home, as it was simply the 2nd half of the last scene before the credits. I wanted to reintegrate that into the main film.
Change List:
- added Okoye trying to steal a ship to find Shuri, before being stopped by the Dora Milaje, and the new leader, Ayo. Aneka leaves the Dora Milaje, as she can't stand with them anymore. - added Everett Ross disgusing himself as an MI-6 agent, to sneak into the NSA and wipe Riri's laptop and all files relating to the Vibranium tracker - added 'National Security Agency' location card to the NSA scene - added Okoye talking to her uncle, as he implies the Border Tribe may want to take over Wakanda, with her as queen - cut shot with Ross contacting the Wakandans via the beads, as he no longer has them due to the NSA scene - added Okoye meeting Shuri in Haiti, saying her goodbyes, but saying she would be there if needed, anytime - recut the ending, to attach the post-credits scene onto the end of the film, playing as one long, unbroken scene - removed the score from the mid-credits scene, as to play better with the original final scene.
Additional Notes:

Black Panther (2018) Score by Ludwig Göransson - Busan Skyline, and Wakanda were used to bridge the Border Tribe scene and where the mid-credits scene was, respectively.
