Personally I don’t see T’Challa sacrificing himself for anybody non-Wakandan lol. But seeing as he’s not on the throne anymore and seems committed to things staying that way, him being willing to...

If sales on Ultimate Black Panther hold I could see Marvel shifting some things around in 616. 616 Panther is simply not sellable right now, enough readers have disengaged from the book that there’s...
Zanda isn’t a political rival because she’s been in exile for years now iirc. If she got with T’Challa (FWB or otherwise) it’s as a rogue princess turned archaeologist, not a head of state with a...
I never quite liked the Agents of Wakanda name because it felt a bit too derivative of the SHIELD title but the book itself was a lot of fun. It had a wacky roster and it felt like a solid return to...
Ewing wrote the best modern Storm epic in years and I don’t think T’Challa was brought up once, we don’t gotta do that. And a little jab in a bad Wolverine ongoing is not stopping T’Challa from...
That Shanna stuff really came out of nowhere during the Hudlin run lol. They hinted they might’ve been a thing (I think in 616 too) and I still don’t understand how that works continuity-wise. In...
What’s the point? She won’t matter after the series just like the Catwoman rip off won’t matter after Ewing’s run. Just like the Midnight Angels haven’t mattered since Coates. The BP IP is past the...
It’s been well understood for years now that T’Challa and Peter are better written in other books than their own. Ewing’s Ultimates crapped over everything Coates was doing with T’Challa in his...
Ridley’s run either started off with the intention of killing T’Challa off or was designed to sideline the character in future stories. Whatever the intent, MCU synergy was the obvious endgame and if...
Way too early to make a comparison and even if we did it’s hardly fair. UBP is part of an initiative driven by Marvel’s top writer with an A-list artist onboard. Regardless of story it’s gonna have a...
I don’t see why it can’t take 12 issues. Which isn’t to say it’s easy but writers have radically shifted a character’s status quo in only a handful of issues before. 6 issues to establish the new...
As someone who’s half-African I get that. But I’m not gonna pretend that most people do and that large swaths of the audience are emotionally intelligent and media literate enough to handle that kind...
That could also work, I’ve always thought albino makes the most sense just because it keeps the white motif instead of him just being light skinned as a Hispanic or Asian. Also relates to the kind of...
Him being white is a probably a big part of why he doesn’t get used in modern comics and is ignored in BP media. I don’t see it as fundamental because he wouldn’t be treated very differently even if...
Hunter isn’t going to be a truly sellable character as long as he’s white tbh. His race has kept him from being a much bigger player in BP lore than his narrative and uniqueness would merit because...
IIRC Gillis has rights issues with Marvel that’s prevented some of the concepts from his 80s mini series from being used too heavily. Maybe it’s not a thing anymore but I think any original...
Marvel views the Coates run as the foundation for modern BP and at most pays lip service to anything that came before. The pre-Coates era of BP is viewed as old-fashioned at best and problematic at...
Happy new years all!
And what’s interesting is that Klaw has been dead since 2017 or so. I feel like enough time has passed for him to be reintroduced as a villain in the main series but it...
Hill gets a pass because he can actually write and has a proven track record with Black Panther content. He’d be qualified to write Ultimate Black Panther regardless of his race with his experience...
Exactly, him and John Ridley literally ruined 616 Black Panther, I don’t know how this is even a conversation lol.
Got a chance to listen to the full podcast and minus the Storm stuff this all...
I don’t see how people could look at the liberties taken with Boseman’s T’Challa and think the kid introduced at the end of WF is gonna end up somehow end up more like the comic version. Especially...
The MCU is gonna be in a downward spiral till they reboot, and that’s when I’m gonna start paying attention again. In the meantime, T’Challa’s future is in games and comics. An animated movie seems...
Don’t forget Tosin now, everyone’s waiting to see Tosin!
And when the kid ends up even less comic accurate than Boseman’s T’Challa you already know what the defense is gonna be lmao.
As long as they keep the kid out of comics I’m good, just keep that...
I feel like there almost has to be a heavy element of choice to really drive home how important the Black Panther is and the need to be aware of that power. BP’s decisions can’t have zero impact on...
