If the BP movie ends up with Nakia still on the side of good with none of her comic story, think Malice will get a heroine turn in the books?
[QUOTE=Chesterfield;3172515]To us Nigerians it's called Ankara and I have too many of them. I have one very similar in colour and design to what T'Chadwick has with the leg and velvet shoes. Naija boys don't play when it comes to our fashion.[/QUOTE]
Can you provide a link that has it in American sizes?

I don’t know. It’s easier to make Nakia in the movies the main love interest since she has none of the baggage that her comic counterpart has. In the comics it could happen if a writer is talented enough, problem is we’re currently stuck with Ta-nahesi Chokes who in addition to constantly making Black Panther look like a chump is also wasting his time still trying to make Black Panther and Storms relationship work out. So maybe when Chokes finally leaves the book, Nakia can get a redemption arc but for now it ain’t happening.

If they need a similar character, they already have Malaika from the Gillis run, who seems to have been a major influence on the movie version of Nakia.

It's certainly not outside the realm of possibility. Though I personally am not a fan of them being a couple in the comics (in the movies I'm pretty neutral about the idea), she's not so far gone that redemption is completely out of the question.
That said, I honestly think there's more value to her as a villain in the comics. There's already a bunch of potentially heroic Doras, but as Malice she gives T"Challa his own potential Cat Woman.
[QUOTE=Majesty;3172747]yeah I get the feeling that Nakia is headed in that direction. The "heel turn". Because it stays true to her character. She may not be as "obsessed" as she was in the comics, but her sinister-ness can still be there. I think Lupita as an eventual villain after spending the first portion of the movie being very supportive of T'Challa would be very interesting, and something people that haven't read the comics wouldn't see coming.
I get the feeling that there's a way that Warmonger knows these "inside details" about what's going on with what T'Challa is doing, and always seems to know "where to be" to thwart him. It would make all the more sense that Nakia was the one giving him that information.[/QUOTE]
In the comics, Killmonger and Malice do end up being associates so yeah... having Nakia be his inside person wouldn't be outside the realm of possibility. Maybe rather than having Nakia become Malice, she's essentially Malice all along and we just don't know it yet. It would help even the playing field a bit, as T'Challa on paper should have every advantage in the world over Killmonger. We'll see.

You can't be a hero with the name Malice. At best she'll end up a catwoman type
[QUOTE=Holt;3172798]That's a bit of a double edged blade though. A major part of Batman's appeal is that he has the most popular rogue's gallery on the planet. The in-universe reason Batman doesn't kill might be that he doesn't want to cross some line, but we all know the real reason is cash.
I mean Klaw himself is pretty much an example of that. Hudlin had him get murked and then as soon as someone else wanted him back (was it McDuffie?) he was magically not dead because T'Challa doesn't have very many recognizable villains.[/QUOTE]
from a pure character perspective I think T'Challa was better for it.
Everyone loves the Spider-Man and Batman rogues, but on some level its an indictment on the hero. That the same guy is constantly running free and wreaking havoc. There are some exceptions to this, but I don't see the lack of a huge rogues gallery as a weakness per se.
T'Challa doesn't need a rogues gallery because he deals with his villains outright. This is more endearing to me. He should be taking on organizations and bigger entities than just singular opponents long term anyway.
[QUOTE=Yaw;3172925]Can someone explain to me where this "Golden Jaguar" name for Killmonger's suit came from? There are no jaguars in Africa. This is annoying. (Unless of course we are trying to saying he's been Americanized but that is still meh... I'm tired of people placing cats in Africa that don't belong).[/QUOTE]
Well Tigers are there because of trade with Khan as shown in Agents of Atlas.
If Jaguars are there too then trade with the Aztecs/Maya/Inca is likely.
I like the idea of Wakanda having all the big cats actually makes them more unique

If dealing wiht his villains outright means he kills them, he really doesn't to any large degree. Most of the dead ones were killed by someone else (Man Ape by Morlun and Killmonger by SPectrum).
Klaw is somewhat of an exception because you can kill him as much as you want and he keeps coming back since he's made of sound. But by and large, most BP writers don't kill off his rogues because it's a comic and rogues are needed. Hudlin at the end of his run ended up killing off a few key rogues but BP wasn't actually the one doing the killing. And in Man Apes case he just magically came back without explanation anyways.
I thought Zenzi couldn't control minds? One of those solicits says she can...

I wasn't explicitly saying kill, just that you don't see the same antagonists bothering BP and Wakanda over and over again as you do with other heroes. Some form or fashion they are dealt with (except for Doom War *cogh* bad writing *cough*) at least that is how I remember things Pre- AvX. I freely admit after AvX I took a step back from BP comics with Hickman and the current run so that statement might no longer be accurate considering how things were going with Amor and the two or 3 issues I've seen from Coates.

In the comics, Nakia is insane and hurt/killed people close to T'Challa. I doubt he'd be up for overlooking all of that. How could he ever trust her again after all of that?
[QUOTE=MoneySpider;3173600]I thought Zenzi couldn't control minds? One of those solicits says she can...[/QUOTE]
See, it cant be mind control back then because then all the civil unrest can be pushed aside as simple mind control instead of how people feel deep down. Now that the first arc is over, mind control is acceptable. lol
[QUOTE=MoneySpider;3173600]I thought Zenzi couldn't control minds? One of those solicits says she can...[/QUOTE]
I think the more accurate way to phrase it is that Zenzi isn't a telepath. Her abilities I think still fall under the category of mind control, but it's not telepathic in nature.
