[QUOTE=FLEX HECTIC;3745527]Okay this one's for butterflykiss... :cool:
Wakanda, the throne room.
The elders gather with concerned looks on their faces murmuring with shocked looks.
Nakia enters to a muted sound that only a pin dropping could echo to...
Nakia: "My lord you wished to speak to me."
King T'challa: "The elders requested this meeting take a seat please."
Just then Ororo Munroe aka Storm emerges from behind a curtain and hands the king a Kimoyo bead that digitally blinks to life and reveals a twerking Nakia.
The elders gasp and then focus their attention upon the red faced... Well actually more purple since she is dark complexioned Nakia who is caught off guard by the revelation.
Storm standing just behind King T'challa sends a mocking grin at her "Adversary" (AHEM) with that "I gotchoo b!tch" stare.
King T'challa: "Explain!"
Nakia: "It was a Wardog mission... I was infiltrating a show hosted by LL Cool J to gain some valuable intel for Wakanda!"
King T'challa: "LL Cool J?"
Nakia: "It means Ladies Love Cool James... I swear it was all for Wakanda you gotta believe me!"
Storm leans over and whispers something into King T'challa's ear, looks up and winks at Nakia causing her a fit of fluster at the audacity.
Nakia: "Why is she here... She is an outsider she is not one of us."
King T'challa: "I sent Storm, a personal friend of mine, on a Wardog mission to spy on you beloved!"
Nakia: "What kind of convoluted BOOLSHET is this?"
Storm grabs the bottom of her lip revealing a Wardog tattoo just below her pearly whites.
Nakia: "OH HELL TO THE NAW... I saved you and your family from Killmonger and this is the thanks that I get! This place is a mad house I tell you a mad house! Spy's everywhere!"
King T'challa: "This is a disgrace and your Lip Syncing sucked at that... You are not fit to be queen of Wakanda!"
As rage flows through the king of Wakanda Storm begins to rub his shoulders ever so gently soothing his anger.
Nakia: "And she is?"
King T'challa: "Storm has put in valuable work for Wakanda she will make a great queen... And since you always wanted to work outside of Wakanda so badly I hereby banish you from inside the borders of Wakanda!"
As security escorts a disgruntled Nakia bordering on malice out of the throne room Storm squeezes the hand of King T'challa and with a lightning twitch in her eyes boldly proclaims...
Storm: "Bye Felica!"
That's all you get butterflykiss enjoy... :)[/QUOTE]
There's a lot more truth in this satirical post than Coates has presented over close to three years of trashing and devaluing the BP mythos.

I'm only through 3 episodes and Bushmaster is on my list for top villain mostly because he might be the coolest.[/QUOTE]
I just saw the trailer.
The Powers that Be are really missing an opportunity by not having Luke and Blade pass through BP2 even for a brief moment. But anything can happen.

Hey King T'challa you need to check yo queen... Now you know why she wants to leave Wakanda for all those extra long extended "Wardog" missions! ;)

I was honestly hoping they would be able to squeeze some of the marvel characters from the TV side of things into Infinty War, even if it were just cameos or whatever. But they probably jammed as many heroes as they could.

[QUOTE=Ezyo1000;3742261][B]Show me where it says they aren't regular humans, because that story clearly points to then being being regular people fighting for land they inhabited and insulted the denizens and bit anything special. Just heroes rose from the conflict. Storm is a mutant. And Coates butchered the BP patheon to give her a soon to be forgotten power up. [/B][/QUOTE]
I was re-reading issue 15, and I caught a line in the book which is sort of relavent to conversation about whether or not the people who became the Orisha were regular humans. It actually states that that the Orisha were children of the ELder gods (who are way above even the Pantheon gods), but not gods themselves.
Being children of an elder god may or may not make them regular human beings... but in the least I'd say it's a lot more believable they could become gods than the average person who wasn't a child of an elder god. So I think this makes a bit more sense. That would imply a degree of divinity in the gene pool. Sort of makes them like Hercules, before he became a full god.

Isn't that just part of the historical lie of the victors? The books say the spidermen took slaves, but that couldn't have happened. All done to make the ancient WKs seem honorable and the gods important.

That is what was implied/said by plot pushing, never explained who she really is, Mother.
Still waiting for that villain twist.
(the twist that Mother was causing the portals and used Shuri to gain entry would have been lovely)
(originator is cool too though.... )

We know the story isn't 100% true, but that doesn't mean it's 100% false. Usually the best lies have the truth in it.
And in this particular instance the versions don't necessarily conflict. One says they are children of gods and the other says they are heroes. Children of gods can be heroes. Greek mythology is full of that.
IN my mind at least it makes more sense that they could elevate children of gods to gods. If it worked eith literally anyone there probably would be a lot more gods. Hell, Challa would probably have become one decades ago.
-
The only real problem with the "children of the Elder Gods, but not gods themselves" line is that "descended from one of the Elder Gods" is pretty much the only way to tell a Marvel god from a generic cosmic being.

[B]You just simply ignored cvilles question. Frankly the whole thing is a convoluted mess that Coates had no real direction and just threw ish at the wall and hoped something would come together. He really butchered the story and patheon... All for Storm[/B]

I didn't ignore his question at all. He asked if that version of history was a lie, and I said it's not 100% true. But that doesn't make it 100% false either.
Since them being heroes and them being children of gods don't necessarily conflict, it's possible in this regard both versions are true.

[B]He was talking about the spidermen. I which that couldn't of happened because they were banished.. Really it should not be this hard to figure out what is going on.in the story[/B]

Again, we don't know how much of it was true and how much of it wasn't. The part about the Spiderguys could be completely false or it could have elements of truth to it. We can't know for sure, and in that specific regard we probably don't need to know.
No one is arguing that the truth wasn't distorted. The question really is whether or not there isn't some truth to what was told or not.
And yes, because we're given so little information at this point it is hard to understand the nature of the Orisha. We can assume that they were just ordinary people who became gods... or we can assume they were children of elder gods who became gods themselves. I'm simply arguing the later is more believable. Again, if they had a means of turning ANYONE into gods, there probably would have been a lot more of them.
