[QUOTE=Golden Guardian of Good;5467069]I'm just saying Wolverine(again NOT the handsome Huge Jackman movie version) gets MORE ladies than the king of the most advanced nation on Earth and the richest guy on Earth. A guy that would be on Fortune magazine cover multiple time. A guy that Black celebrity(heck even non-Black) culture would constantly talk about. A guy that Forbes would constantly try and measure his wealth. A guy that would make Idris Elba and MBJ non-factors to women. Meanwhile in the Marvel U.... Wolverine(who must women would find gross) is getting more play than T'Challa and even wooed his ex-wife.
[B]Let that sink in..........

How many tv shows or movies have we seen...
Fat and out shape or oddball white guys with HOT WOMEN. We had one (well three) shows.
King of Queens
Everybody Loves Raymond
Big Bang Theory (where smart black guys do NOT exist)
So Logan getting them all is not that farfetched.

I know he wasn’t going to appear in the show, I’m just saying in the MCU in general going forward.

His mother stars on a tv show. So if it's good enough for Angela Bassett-it's good enough for Boseman.
Lets not forget how many folks with Oscars and huge box office success are doing tv shows.
Like Viola Davis. Will Smith & Cuba Gooding Jr. Anthony Mackie was doing a tv show while doing those movies.
As is Samuel L Jackson.
It's WORK.
[QUOTE=Marvell2100;5467134][COLOR="#000080"]Yeah, T'Challa is a charming, good-looking guy with wealth so women should be drawn to him like a magnet no problem.
The biggest problems with this are:
1. T'Challa having a consistent ongoing
2. Writings not using all the supporting characters.
3. Writers want to give T'Challa that Noble Negro Syndrome.[/COLOR][/QUOTE]
I have never understood what is apparently so bad about "noble negro"?....Is it a crime for a black man to be honorable, wise, inspiring, exemplarily good, smart and even magical in some cases?!?
I will take noble negro every second of every day over loud mouth womanizing unfaithful bafoonish "spinning reems on a toaster" (quote from Chris Rock) thug.
Tchalla IS noble, has ALWAYS been noble and SHOULD ALWAYS remains noble.....he is the exemplar of nobility merged with high intellect and astute warrior spirit.
These are the defining PRIMARY FOUNDATIONAL TRAITS of his character. To change any of them would be out of characters and thus would NOT be Tchalla.
Noble negroes is a trope where they tend to sacrifice themselves for a white protagonist. And I am not sure T'Challa was being no le when he seemed to be making the moves on Sue Richards once upon a time. Or was it still Sue Storm?

Is that what we're talking about? 'Cause that's not T'Challa
[QUOTE=DigiCom;5467234]He was trying to lecture. The guy was an editorial columnist on racial and/or political topics. Literally EVERYTHING he'd written were polemics of one sort or another.
In the case of his BP run(s), he started with "Men Are Bad". Then he followed up with "Colonialism Is Bad", before getting his relaunch and spending 24 issues (and about 3 issues of actual content) on "Slavery Is Bad, & Robbed Black People Of Their Pasts".
Throw in a bit of Storm fanboyism, and you've got his "epic run". :P[/QUOTE]
[B]Yes except on the last part he seemed to make the originators the allegory for black folk's whole the actual Black folk's became the colonizing West and thus paying reparations?
Dude was trying to lecture but couldn't do that right because he was too focused on tearing down Black folk's, pitting them against one another, and turning the one beacon of Hope and leading afrofuturist franchise into the wrist stereotypes of africa and black people... But you are right about the THIRST for Storm..
Dude be looking like donald duck [IMG]https://c.tenor.com/tUZWwzHJN9kAAAAM/thirsty-donald-duck.gif[/IMG][/b]

[B] family guy
American Dad
How I met your mother
Young sheldon (big bang prequel)
The list goes on and on. Also noticed in shows such as big bang theory or how I met your mother, these characters are dating women who are way out of their league but seem to land one after another without fail.

The Honeymooners, the fat guy with a hot wife trope goes all the way back to the Honeymooners. Ralph Cramden was a fat, bumbling, scheming moron and he was lucky to have Alice. Without the Honeymooners, no Fred Flintstone, no Fred Flintstone,(Though I did like Mark Russel's version of Fred) no Homer Simpson, no Homer Simpson, no Peter Griffin, and so on so on so forth.

Oh yeah, I remember that. Sacasa wrote that (the guy in charge of Riverdale) He was kind of fixated on Sue. I do believe that retcon was when Reed and Sue were married. Lots of guys have come on to Sue over the years, and Reed, well, treated her like a husband in the 60's would.

And remember Saved By the Bell where Lisa who was bangin in her day, had Screech all over her?
So who should he hook up with that isn’t Storm? For long term flings it’s probably better to avoid major A-List superheroines since that runs the risk of repeating what happened with Storm. Wasp (Janet) is an example of someone where there could be a long term relationship with another superheroine since she’s not a major player and isn’t currently entangled with someone.

I like the idea of someone magical, like Talisman or Topaz. It gives them a niche that doesn't overshadow him.
