Are there still peeps that watch BET? :cool:
After that Black Panther cartoon debacle there needs to be some shaking of collective heads!

Remember way back when a long time ago in a galaxy far far away this was actually funny...

[QUOTE=Beware Of Geek;3748156]There are three easy ways to explain why Bast does not actively get involved in Wakandan affairs.
1) Bast cannot directly intervene, due to mystical vows & treaties. Empower and advise champions, yes, but not intervene, There is actually a precedent for this in canon, involving the Third Host of the Celestials.
2) Bast does not want to intervene, because (s)he believes that it is better for Wakandans to stand for themselves. The Panther mantle is meant to inspire others to surpass their limits, not be a cure-all for every single problem.
3) Bast has no desire to intervene, because worshipers are supposed to serve, not dictate terms. You might call this the "a-hole" solution. ;)[/QUOTE]

[I]Crom and Bast; I can see that comparison.
Just finished reading Hudlin's 3rd TPB. It was great overall, and I am in love with the last story /Flags/. Seeing T'Challa's grandpappy, along side funky shield Cap, and the Howling Commandos was one of my favorite stories of all time. The fact that the story was told through the eyes of Gabriel /Gabe/, made it just that much more special. [/I]

Part of me wonders if that wasn't what Bast was like during Infinity and Time Runs Out, when Thanos was kicking it in Basts living room.
Rewatching that, I do sort of feel bad for Cringer though. Sort of messed up that Adam was continuously getting him into combat situations when he clearly didn't want to.

4. Bast is a feline and only gives a **** when she's not napping, wants food, or, like all god's and cats, wants to be worshipped. She probably has a collection of different people's all across the universe.

[B] I would say a combination of 1 & 2. She cannot help unless certain conditions are met, and even then she doesn't want to unless absolutely required. I take this from gilis run when the tpg took on an Avatar because the people were pleading, then the 2bd Option shows on Hudlins WitBP when he told kshan bast work's through him and there is no feat he is able to do that kshan cannot also pull off [/B]

That score is basically perfect, which is interesting since IMO the sequel score, Conan the Destroyer, also by Basil Poledouris, is so-so. I haven't gone through every score Basil Poledouris did before he died, but for now I'd rank Conan the Barbarian as #1, #2 a tie between RoboCop 1 and 3 (3's score makes part 1 feel like a rough draft with 3 the more "complete" of the two), with #3 Starship Troopers.
Ooo imagine if he was alive and asked to do the score for Black Panther (not that Ludwig Göransson didn't do an excellent job).

butterflykiss times up...
Nakia paced frantically back and forth outside the throne anticipating her eventual vindication.
Princess Shuri: "My brother has agreed to see you now so make it quick."
Nakia enters the throne room and finds Storm sitting on King T'challa's lap giggling causing massive random funnel clouds above Wakanda.
King T'challa: "Make it quick as you see I'm very busy."
Nakia: "I have proof that confirms my Wardog mission."
Nakia tosses a copy of LL Cool J's Walking With A Panther to the curious king.
King T'challa: "80's Hip Hop... Surely you can do better."
Nakia: "Look at the cover."
King T'challa studies the album cover that features Hip Hop legend LL Cool J next to a "Black Panther" wearing a PHAT gold chain.
King T'challa: "Is that who I think it is... I need to confirm this!"
A Kimoyo bead call to Necropolis...
Secretary: "Bast's office, how may I help you?"
King T'challa: "I need to speak to Bast!"
Secretary: "This isn't about Doomwar because he's already expressed his sorrow at..."
King T'challa: "This is King T'challa put BAST on the line!"
Secretary: "If it's about the treehouse rape camps he sincerely apologizes about the oversight..."
King T'challa: "I'M YOUR KING NOW... GET BAST!"
Secretary: "Please hold."
(Kendrick Lamar's song Pray For Me blasts through like echoing elevator music as T'challa awaits his god's answer)
Storm tries to distract T'challa with playful tickling and gets pushed off his lap rudely.
King T'challa: "Quit playing... Hello Bast!"
Bast: "DUDE, you missed a hell of a party it was LIT down here in Necropolis... They kept asking about you!"
King T'challa: "What do you know about this LL Cool J?"
Bast: "James Todd Smith that's my boy from Queens N.Y. met him through Prince N'jobo in Oakland back in the late 80's... I got mad drunk and took a pic with him and he put it on one of his album covers. You know he is the G.O.A.T. right!"
King T'challa: "Goat???"
Bast: "Greatest Of All Time!"
King T'challa: "Better than Nas? Biggie? Pac?"
Bast: "All them are his sons if you study the game from way back when but is that all you needed to know?"
King T'challa: "Didn't you think it was risky appearing on his album cover and exposing Wakanda like that? And if you were in Oakland back then you could have spared us the trouble of Erik Killmonger!"
Bast: "Lil Erik? What dat N!&&@ up to I aint seen him in a minute he must be real big now his daddy became a radical nut though for real!"
King T'challa: "You are the worst god in the Marvel Universe... BYE!!!"

It's not JUST a supporting character book though... it's an X-Men book too. So I think they're hoping that combination will help it sell well enough. And it's a 40 page story, so that's actually not TOO bad for 5 bucks.

I am just not 100% sure who this book is for.
On the surface, it looks like a book they hope ends up on the Amazon GN list. movie Okoye front and center and backed up by the bigger groups at Marvel (Spider-man, X-men, Avengers) with a dose of LGBT representation.
but if that is the case... why the hell wasn't this made 4 months ago?
How can a company this large have no foresight whatsoever?
By the time this is out, Black Panther movie is going to be two MCU movies away. Three comic book movies away. By the time it hits Amazon in a trade, people are gonna forget Black Panther movie existed.
The completely mismanaged BP comics in relation to the movie.

The thing is, 4 months ago they had now many Black Panther books out there? Obviously the main title I addition to Rise of the Black Panther. And I think around that time they had Once and Future King and that Lexus Cart mini. I think they want to try and put out a lot of Black Panther related material, but if they put too much out all at one time it starts competing with itself. So there's a logic in spreading it out a little.
I think the idea is to just keep on pumping out Black Panther stuff, rather than putting it out there just around the movie.

Yeah, and those books were F'ing stupid lol.
One was a car add and the other focused on T'challa's friend and was digital only.
That is what I am saying. Marvel's foresight management of the property is embarrassing.

It's that in addition to the main solo book and Rise of the Black Panther. With 2 BP books already on the shelves, the digital only stuff was arguably just icing on the cake.
I think having 2 BP books on the shelf at the same time is probably the right number. 3 would be pushing it. So they probably waited until Rise was over to give another BP related book a shot. And when they're done with Wakanda Forever, they'll probably try something else. Again, I thin the point is to not just put the stuff out around the movie but to at least TRY and get more content out there regularly. Whether or not it actually sticks remains to be seen.
