I was lurking a couple miles back which one of you came up with the N'jobobobobobo name so that I can properly credit you and kick you down some residuals before the lawyers get involved! :cool:
I was telling my son about that name and he found it funny too so I had to swagger jack it for my impromptu schtick!
I watched Infinity Wars again yesterday and it still holds up well after the third viewing but even if it passes Black Panther domestically I would not be surprised if Disney does another re-release later on like Star Wars or Avatar did to boost the numbers!
I am not sure how yet to judge between Killmonger and Thanos as the greatest MCU villain because each of their motives were very personal to them but just thinking about Erik growing up fatherless, qualifying for an MIT education and dropping off the grid as a black ops trained killer just to get to Wakanda and kill his cousin is all kinds of emotional inertia unmatched!
Still... That scene with Gomora sassing her father and then getting tossed off the cliff might be the rawest image short of the movie Mommie Dearest!
That and Thanos working the Hulk right after the great sermon by The Reverend Ebony Maw is one of the best opening super hero movies ever!

I believe the honor of the name goes to "Mind of Shadow".
Haven't finished Cage, [spoil]but I'd like to pre-submit Bushmaster as a contender for best villain.[/spoil]

[QUOTE=Beware Of Geek;3743622]Oh, and I'm not sure I buy the premise of [I]Wakanda Forever[/I], as described in the preview.
"Even though we abandoned our duty to the throne and left the Golden City with all of our secrets, we're going after Malice for... abandoning her duty and stealing secrets."

Yeah, and we still haven't seen Queeny, THE RULER OF THE JABARI, say a damn thing either.
Okoye, the most loyal Dora ever, would have no part of the MA. But, the only reason Okoye is even aroun dis because the movie blew up. Coates didn't even have the foresight to bring her in earlier when she was cast to at least make it make sense.
[QUOTE=Yaw;3743661]Yeah you need to read the whole story before speaking on such things
T'Challa beat Mephisto TWICE. First on Earth and then in Mephisto's dimension (which you posted). He defeated him on Earth (by punching him once and then ripping out his heart) which meant he would have to go back to his pocket realm. T'Challa followed and challenged him in that realm specifically to cut him off as a source of power for Achebe. The point: T'Challa vs. Mephisto showed the physical, intellectual and mystical prowess of the Black Panther. IMO it also highlighted how he is a hero different from other heroes. While he is the main focus, as Black Panther he is a "WE" or in other terms, he represents the collective strength and will of his people. This is a very intriguing concept that portrays him culturally as a African hero. Since Storm is NOT his wife, she is an outsider, and her help continues this sense of USAID charity that Wakanda has been relying on as of recent.[/QUOTE]
Y'all should know better than to try and rationally debate with an unfan.
[QUOTE=Mantis Dad;3744158][I]Just a quick question, sorry if this is stepping on anyone's toes /but still new to the rules/.
Is it possible to have a separate thread like; 'Storm vs Black Panther', or something of that nature? That way, this thread can just be a T'Challa Appreciation thread please.
I enjoy reading posts about BP, but all this other stuff gives me a headache and its hard to sort through all of it to get to the posts that talk about the hero I came here to read about. Again, no offense on purpose, I just think there are enough pages here of debate, that the "BP/Storm War" could have its very own thread for the rest of you to enjoy.[/I][/QUOTE]
It is one poster and one poster only.
[QUOTE=Mantis Dad;3744217][I]Hi,
My Hudlin book is at my work and I only get a chance to read it on my breaks or lunch. I am up to the part where T'Challa is in a coma, and Shuri had to kick some butt. I was swamped the last couple of days so did not get to catch up further yet. I will try Liss' books next, if that is the reading order. Mostly at home, I have been reading my IM omnibus #1 that I had never read. I hope to get back to T'Challa soon.
After all these debates, I am almost scared to read the arc about this Advasary (sp) person LOL.[/I][/QUOTE]
Liss wrote a good T'challa. And Vlad is a rather interesting villain that I am stunned hasn't re-appeared in a Daredevil book.
Kingpin of Wakanda is dope.
[QUOTE=Beware Of Geek;3744307]I can't help but wonder if the song would be the same if people went to the Storm thread and talked how great T'Challa is.
Don't worry, tho. I won't. Life is too damn short to waste time like that.
Call me if you need me, brothers. My inbox is always open.[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE=Jabare;3744661]It's #1 U.S. domestic box office not counting for inflation. Avengers Infinity War may catch it tho.
All time World Wide (not counting for inflation) BP is #4 behind all the avengers films[/QUOTE]
IW fell off pace to pass it domestically by basically all measures. only chance it has if it gets a dead cat bounce from the release of Antman/Wasp. But I doubt that happens, the movie is rather self contained it looks like

I think Thanos is the best but need to see how the story ends with him. One reason killmonger was such a good villain was how he ended too.
TBF, Thanos got waaaaaaaay more screen time and way more fleshed out. It is amazing how great of a villain Killmonger was for being a one movie villain that had to share time with another villain. The only "one movie villain" that comes close to him is Vulture really. IMO

One of the wikis suggested that QDJ and M'Baku were exiled after BP #49, and that's why she was living in the States, and had latent anger issues in the Coates run. It doesn't explain why she helped out Kasper back in the day, though.

I still think that's due to the fact that IW isn't the sort of movie that most people want to see more than once. BP is, OTOH. Hell I even saw it twice, and I almost never do that....

[B]In quite disappointed in how messed up they made Nakia, especially since she just had an appearance in the annual. I guess that was pre crack Nakia?
I feel the MA is trying to take over and become it's own thing and like MoS said, Okoye would of been like F all y'all for abandoning the thrown and taking land that doesn't belong to you. But nope just randomly appears, no explanation, and is just cool with all the change, and qdj has no words for what happened to jabari.
Dora Milaje sounds cooler then midnight angels. But that's trying to be a thing now with a western name. I don't foresee Wakanda forever picking up any traction Okoye should of been here from day one smacking the heads of the spoiled MA brats [/B]

Ugly Queen Nakia...
Academy Award winner Lupita N'yongo is all types of that new "IT" girl so how hard is it to retcon something so simple as making her exactly what she is in one of THE most popular movies like ever!
Who would dare go depict Blade in that old school look he had way back when and ignore that glorious Wesley Snipes depiction just because!
Who is asleep at the wheel and needs to pull over at the next rest area and let someone else drive who is more "WOKE" and bring this road trip to a safer conclusion!
Ugly Nakia is all types of bad marketing and PR... I mean if Lupita were to even read comics she has to have a livid opinion of that very hot mess!
Burbank, California... Mickey Mouse's office.
Lupita paces back and forth staring intently at Mickey like Darth Maul just before impaling Qui Gon Jinn shaking her head with approval mode on NOPE.
Mickey Mouse: "Don't say it I know and I'm on it I promise you!"
Lupita N'yongo: "I mean... It's bad enough you don't have not one authentic Royal Talon Fighter toy for sale at those Disney Stores in the mall but this is pushing it!"
Mickey Mouse: "Yes, we dropped the ball multiple times with this franchise but we will do better believe me!"
Lupita N'yongo: "And that other thing?"
Mickey Mouse: "What other thing?"
Lupita N'yongo: "COME BACK TO ME!!!"
Mickey Mouse: "Oh that... I'll get my top people all over that and fix it for you trust me I know your pain Storm is out of there ASAP you have my word!"
Mickey's Secretary: "Mickey your 'OTHER' appointment is here earlier than expected sir!"
Mickey Mouse: "Oh snap... Could you leave out the side door please and use the service elevator thanks!"
Lupita N'yongo: "WHY? I am just as important as any other A-list..."
Halle Berry: "Mickey I heard about the Disney Fox merger you wanted to see me... Lupita hey girl, it's nice to see you again looking forward to working with you I hope there is no malice about this arrangement!"
Lupita N'yongo: "Working with...Malice... WTF is she doing here?"
Mickey Mouse: "Awkward..."

Majestic I'm never really gone I still lurk hiding in waited anticipation to insert my zaniness in the conversation where applicable! :D
The real alternate dimension story... The hard drive on my computer went out so I had to decide on fixing it, buying the same refurbished or brand new iMac or going back in time for that old school Mac Pro tower (Not the trashcan version) with upgradeable RAM and graphics card options while waiting for Apple to get their head back in the game sometime in year 2019!
Mac Pro tower for the win so I'm back!

Well, I'm definitely glad you're back amongst us. :cool:

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... :)
