Na'Challa... I like that. Yes, that will work :D

[QUOTE=Rumble;3169956]Some people hate Lupita
Some people hate a Wakandan love interest
But as Thanos infamously said in Infinity War trailer:
[B]"Dread it... run from it... destiny still arrives!"[/b]
I thought he was talking about black people avoiding being labeled as just "black writers", but clearly he was talking about that #wakandanlove lol[/QUOTE]
If Lupita is Nakia then she's going to be obsessing over T'Challa and trying to scheme how to eventually marry him, eventually leaving and being disgraced.
If Killmonger survives this movie, I'd assume she joins him at the end or in an after credits scene.
Depends if/when Monica arrives on the scene, if even in the first film.

[QUOTE=Mike_Murdock;3169999]I love that.
[B]I was hoping the second trailer gave a bit more of the plot, but let's be honest, they don't need to[/B]. The visual style is so good that I'm sold on that alone. This movie is exciting.[/QUOTE]
I thought about that yesterday and I was actually glad they didn't. They found a great blend of introducing character dialogue while still keeping it very vague. They all might as well have been speaking in riddles. Even hardened BP/Priest scholars will find more than enough ambiguity and mystery in this interpretation.
So far this movie is everything I could have ever dreamed of. I see now why Marvel is gearing up the big marketing push for the character with the cartoon and lego movie.

In your opinion, sure. I think it's fun to have speculations and wishful thinking (i myself speculate that T'Challa has the soul gem hidden in his beard. Don't judge me.)
But all we know for certain is that Nakia has a different history in this rendition of the mytho in which she is a dog of war, a 007-akin international spy, and is the lover of T'Challa who holds hands with him during international flights and offers soothing encouraging words of black excellence to him like beautiful black queens often do to caring compassionate black kings.
Na'Challa is headlining #wakandanlove on Valentine's Weekend 2018 and I just feel we are so incredibly (bast) blessed to have that on screen.
I hope Creedmonger survives as well.

[QUOTE=Jabare;3171524]i hear you.... but I don't like it :p
anyway I have total faith so far so will see what happens
Shuri is steering the car. Thats why we see her driving in that purple car projection/hologram

Yeah, I'm pretty confident whatever they decide to do will be cool.
That's the cool thing about the marvel movies. Unlike DC and Fox, which have been hit or miss, pretty much all the marvel movies have been solid. We haven't had a legit stinker yet. Marvel has eaerned the benefit of the doubt. And it doesn't hurt at all that Cooglers recent track record has been pretty darn impressive. THere's not a red flag in sight.

They don't have to follow the comics lock step.
Look at Killmonger. He's a mash up of Killmonger and...Hunter of all things.
And depending on this version of 'Monger's backstory they might be a bit of classic Man-Ape in there too (if movie T'Challa and movie 'Monger started out as bros).
If they want to add Monica Lynn its not hard to make a mash up of her that works in the MCU.
And Malice might be her own separate thing from Lupita/Nakia altogether.
You don't see females heel turn in movies too much....unless you want the audience to utterly hate that character and she is gonna die/get killed soon.

I actually think the heel turn formula is a better way of developing villains in the marvel movies.
I think you can argue almost across the board (Loki being the big exceptions), the villains in the MCU movies have been on the weak side. But having them start off as a part of the heroes supporting cast before turning them into an antagonist allows them to have their own story arc, and really give them personal stakes when they finally do end up turning heel on the hero. They did it to a lesser extent with Ego, but the closest example to that might be Mordo in Strange. We got an entire movie to see his side of things to the point where we actually give a dam about him before seeing him in Strange 2.
Ideally you WANT the crowd to utterly hate the bad guys, rather than simply not care. And a heel turn does that. You hate them more because at one point you liked them, and you feel that sting of betrayal just like the hero feels. Or at least that's ideally how you should feel if it's executed properly.

I need to check back up on that John Stewart thread. It's been a while.
All i know is Idris is tired of the Heimdall role and wants to be a "superhero" and Tyrese is about to hit rock bottom, figuratively (and maybe literally), with all the yapping he's been doing.
All we need now is a time machine to age Elba like 10 years, and we're set! Granted, he's only 5 years older than Boseman

It's not a 100% given that the will follow the source material.
Still, I wasn't exactly expecting Mordo and Strange to be BFF's at the end of the Strange movie. Nor did I necessarily expect things to go well for Peter Quills reunion with his dad in Guardians 2.
It's also interesting to note that Okoye is in the promotional material for Infinity War but not Nakia.
[ATTACH=CONFIG]56444[/ATTACH]
That doesn't PROVE anything. She might simply be not be in the movie, or might have a smaller role than Okoye to not warrent using her in that one image. OR it could indicate that she becomes Malice, like the source material. We'll have to wait and see I guess.

y'all leave Tyrese alone he hasn't done nothing to anybody.
He's just new-age marketing keeping his name out there
-
[QUOTE=Anthony Shaw;3171775]Dying & coming back is kinda his thing.[/QUOTE]
Yeah, I almost think he should die to sort of complete his arc.
Course, that same logic unfortunately could apply to poor Shuri in Infinity War. That has me a little more worried.

I have accepted DC not caring about John Stewart. Yeah, a younger Idris would kill it as GL.
Looking back, it was a bad move for Idris to play Heimdall. So very glad the Tyrese saga is about done. WB sucks at casting, but they did right by not hiring him.
I would rather see Idris play Blade, honestly. That way, he can keep is British accent, and stay on the Marvel side.
But enough of that, BP in mainstream media is absolute heaven.
I stopped giving Marvel comics my money when they kept with the non-inspiring BP.
T'Challa is a king, not some sad-sack.
Thank goodness the film side is getting my all-time favorite his due.
