[QUOTE=DigiCom;5872861]Not bad. I'd say "resistant" instead of "prrof" just to add a little risk to proceedings. And I'm not a huge fan of the idea that "the habit enhances speed/strngth" because that makes it about the suit, not the person inside it. I'll leave that to Stark.
Unlike many of my fellow fans, I tend not to think in terms of numbers, because it's pretty clear that the writers don't bother. On the one hand, the "official" handbook says that a character can only lift 5 tons... on the other, they need him to throw an armored truck at Doctor Doom.
Which do you think will happen?
In terms of equipment, I tend to think in terms of what the character is like, and what he'd likely carry.
So we have this:
T'Challa is a fighter who uses stealth and agility in combat. He's not the sort to do a frontal attack, tanking blows and just pounding on people until they go down.
So, from that perspective:
Offensive:
Melee range: Claws, force push.
Short range: Knives, force bubble (al al the movie).
Long range: Ghost spear (which is also the only weapon usable against mystic enemies)..
I don't want the force push to be a long-range weapon, because that's again more of an IM thing.
Defensive:
Impact & penetration-resistant habit. Easy choice, bet less useful against directed energy.
Cloak: Because I can't see why he'd let the HZ have it and not keep it for himself, too. The transformative function (particularly my fave Armani mode) is a side-effect.
I'm of a divided mind about teleportation. On the one hand, it's a useful tactical ability. OTOH, I don't trust other writers to not turn it into a crutch. I'd rather have the claok used in a similar "fade-out" fashion.
Utility:
Integrated Kimoyo systems. Because bracelets can break, and cards dropped.
Vibranium soles: Because why not?
Tech in the cowl that enhances his already superhuman senses.
Anything in addition would have to be carefully considered in terms of future use/abuse. Being suddenly able to block telepathy, for example, might very well be within the scope of Wakandan science, but it's a door that, once opened, is difficult to close.
(Being able to do it because of personal discipline, OTOH, makes it a personal feat, and one that could theoretically fail if he was disoriented or tired after a long battle.)
I know, it's really tempting to give T'Challa all the gear necessary to take out any foe, but this leads down the road of "and then what?" So it behooves a writer to hold that tendency back, to leave room for story.[/QUOTE]
I agree with that break down. Leaves plenty of room for his own abilities to outperform his Tech. One thing though, you are against the idea that he is able to resist telepathy through his mental training?

[QUOTE=Ezyo1000;5872614][B] Really the two things that would of made the movie perfect would of been T'Challas intelligence kept in tact (seriously how frakking hard would it of been to give T'Challa credit for being able to transport vibranium via making it inert? He frakking did it in the comics) and it being his idea to open Wakanda with Nakia being he sole supporter of that.
Those are the two most damning things about the Movie. Those two things vastly change MCU T'Challa from the polymath warrior prep king with a ton of nuance we know in the comics, to basically black captain America. The sequel was the place to fix it however,if this is where T'Challas journey ends then the MCU will have failed to reach T'Challas potential and that IS unfortunately on Coogler.
By trying to give everyone agency, he took the biggest defining traits form T'Challa and gave him to the supporting cast and that was a huge misstep. Especially because Erik was trying saying the same thing but with more flare behind it (because he's the villain) so people remember that more than Nakia saying it.
Which again, shows why she should not of been the one to say it but been T'Challas biggest supporter and the only one believing in him and in it.[/B][/QUOTE]
I actually didnt have a problem with him not wanting or having the idea to open Wakanda. Cause it showed he still had the side of **** yall in him.

Lol, that and the continuous resistance of Wright's decision to not take the vaccine.

Really shaking my head at this dumpster fire film.

Actually, I'm all in favor of that. I mean, if freakin' Sunspot was able to teach basic telepathic defense to the rest of the USAvengers, I could easily see T'Challa knowing a similar technique.
I just try to keep it just below perfect, so that a writer can have it fail in extreme circumstances. For example, a casual scan couldn't piece his shields, but have a skilled telepath try for a probe after he'd just finished a lengthy battle that involved both intense physical activity and disorienting sensory attacks? That might just work, because his willpower would be less potent.

Coates making psi blocking a tech thing drove me up a wall.

Agreed.
I don't need perfect. Caps not perfect either and he is mr. will power. I think even Thor got controlled at lesat once. But it should be really difficult and it should take someone on the Shadow King's level to pull it off.

[QUOTE=Dboi654;5873044][B]They are going to market the sh*t out of this movie in order to compensate for the lack of T'Challa [/B]and the production stories that this film is going through, which could potentially affect the quality of the story.
The soundtrack isn't going to change anything so I think I will pass on this too.[/QUOTE]
So they would increase how much more this film would need to make to break even then.
Any interview or mention of this film will bring up Boseman. Along with the recast by fans. And the Nate Moore comments.
They might as well not promote, let the film come out and announce BP 3: Return of the King. That is the ONLY thing that will save that movie.

We kinda got a glimpse of that in Hudlins story in the annual. God that story really had me wanting T’Challa to be a dad in 616. Lol.
