Yes it was a masterful play by Redjack showing who the true "heroes and villains" were. But even then it that exchange, T'Challa planned for the encounter to further his goal and that was a brilliant move, this special coming back was so intense and we are still just getting started on what's to come. People were already losing their isht over BP vs Thor

Speaking of fights...
Rumor has it that Chadwick Boseman and Michael B got into an altercation at the Golden Globes!
Which one of you wants to play Wendy Williams and pull receipts on this breaking news or fake news!
Get Hectic!
This is true actually, and I'm really hoping this side of T'Challa gets more development. I think one thing T'Challa would need is a great writer that can tackle the scientific/technological side as well as the mystical/supernatural side at the same time that feels organic. Sometimes it feels like it's an either or situation where one is prioritised over the other. Priest is one I think that did this really well.
I think one way to do it would be to make that side be more of spirituality than mysticism (like the movie did) but that can only work in a place like the MCU where there's hardly any true mysticism or occultism at the moment. It can work because in that universe Thor can be considered to be either an alien in the stereotypical sci-fi sense or an actual god (neither of which is been given hard confirmation). It may not completely work in the MU that unapologetically has a distinct mystical side.
For instance in the film, anyone who ingests the heart shaped herb can go to the Ancestral Plane and commune with their ancestors. It sounds pretty mystical, but the way the film chooses to handle it is that the Ancestral Plane is a reflection of the person's conscience and state of mind rather than a mystical location, evident by dialogue and visual representation. T'Challa's first visit displays a sombre night sky of purples and blues, an African savanna similar to the one that surrounds Wakanda, and it confirms his guilt for being unable to save his father as he mourns him as well as his need to be a great king just like T'Chaka was to him. Furthermore T'Chaka's advice can be seen as a reflection of his initial instincts on how to be king ("surround yourself with people you trust"). On the other hand Killmonger's first and only visit take him to his apartment in Oakland (with the purple skies outside) as he rummages through his father's things and the moment N'Jobu appears, Killmonger is young Erik Stevens/N'Jadaka again, confirming that it's part flashback but also shows Killmonger inside is still a young, confused and traumatised boy. Likewise, T'Challa's second visit allows him to berate his fathers and his ancestors for keeping Wakanda hidden and leaving young N'Jadaka behind in a brightly lit sunrise after learning the truth and experiencing Killmonger's rage.
So if I were to add that to the comics, I'll state it as T'Challa can visit/access the Ancestral Plane, but can do the above and more with it. Like being able to call upon other past Black Panthers for advice, as well as experience their own memories by transporting to their past consciousness or something. Think Avatar: The Last Airbender and Assassin's Creed. And I would make it ritual based (like being buried in Necropolis (for the communion thing) or while wearing the particular Black Panther's tribal mask (for the memory thing) rather than it being just instantaneous.

T'challa's Greatest Comic Book Feats: http://blackpanthermarvel.blogspot.c...her-feats.html
BP vs IM WS were by far the biggest highlights of the special. The way T'Challa rocked on and out prepped them was awesome. Even though you're led to believe he simply Lost to WS. You find out it wasn't the case and was according to plan. Plus ws rampaging around and Tchalla was still concerned about saving lives really showcases why he is a good man with a good heart
I wouldn't mind if Doctor Voodoo spent more time hanging out with T'challa.
T'challa, Voodoo, and Manifold would be a pretty solid "Amazing Friends" group.
Pull List:
Marvel Comics: Venom, X-Men, Black Panther, Captain America, Eternals, Warhammer 40000.
DC Comics: The Last God

I think MCU N'Kano can be the next Gon (HxH).
Make him younger with Gon's charm, ditch the Luke cage head gear, and let him be lit with his vibration powers and a mini Kobe fro
Vibraxas is a lame ass name tho.
QDJ should be similar age and his bff
Then those 3 and Miles can team up in Avengers 5 or the inevitable Champions movie with Kamala and Sam

I'm assuming Voodoo can already teleport, don't really need Eden around.
I'm hoping Voodoo gets introduced in DS2.
Jericho will be the next big thing not named Monica Rambeau.. if MCU doesnt "Rhodey" him..
Not as a sidekick though... but as access to a whole branch of magic Strange and Kamar Taj in general don't mess with.
aka... Nightmare and Mordo kick his ass, Strange heads someplace that is barely mentioned in the texts (photographic memory) and it leads him to Voodoo. And strange just gets a taste of it, doesn't magicaly memorize the whole voodoo playbook
So you introduce Voodoo as this badass, give him some feats, but still leave him vague enough to spin him off to his own movie
or something
