Black Panther Appreciation 2019

[BlackClaw]

I think BP definitely needs a reboot but I like coates and want him to still have a chance to finish his vision for the character.

Throw everything he’s done with BP in the garbage where it belongs and let him write that X-Men ongoing he so desperately wants to work on.

[XPac]

We already Know where he is going to end up. The real question is, what was the point of this whole thing? Other then to put Coates on creative time out while Aaron out Real work on T'Challa and Okoye and for Nnedi and this bee writer to play pretend Shuri coming to her own BP even though it's been done before, and done better

I would imagine the point of it is to resolve the question of what happened to the Wakandan gods. They were missing, T'Challa and Eden went looking for the gods in space, and we did end up finding them.

Outside of that, I think the point of a story like this is just to do something different. Sort of like when Cap was in Dimension Z, or when Hulk was doing World War Hulk. Every once in awhile getting the main character completely out of their status quo where they're not doing the same thing and interacting with the same people just for the sake of doing something difference can be a nice chance of pace. We've seen him to space stuff in Avengers and Ultimates but never really in his own solo book.

The whole point of Coates story in season 3 is to align with MCU Panther, which influenced him to undo everything in season 1 and 2.

I imagine that makes people upset, after they talked out they ass for so long 2 years ago. But it's ok, we're not petty enough to bring up old **** to rub it in. At least I'm not

It's hilarious that marvel put him on timeout this year

It's hilarious that marvel put him on timeout this year

It's also hilarious how people think this was somehow his long game plan and what he was wanting to do all along when it's very obvious that this is definitely NOT where he was heading with things given what we know about S1&2. Dude completely changed his tune in S2 when Marvel put a halt to all his.. ahem "world building"

[Klaue's Mixtape]

Don't forget "establish Shuri is smart line" and move on.

Russos needed an army to fight outriders for the climax. Asgard is gone, Wakanda is all that was left to use.


NEW WHAT IF STORY!!!

In an alternate universe, Wakanda lines up to fight Outriders, all of sudden the bifrost hits Wakanda and a legion of Asguardians are there.

Thor: I bring word from Allfather Odin. An Alliance once existed between Wakandans and Asguardians. Long ago we fought and died together. We come to honor that allegiance.

They do an ancient hidden handshake passed down through the line of kings. And then the audience learns how Heimdell became the only black dude in the nine realms! That dude has Wakandan blood!

and then they all get slaughtered together!

WHAT IF!!! MAKE IT HAPPEN DISNEY!

Feige make em mad!

Higher, further, faster … and, finally, more diverse? Twenty-one films into its juggernaut franchise, Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige says, the company’s recent wave of superhero titles led by global hits “Black Panther” and “Captain Marvel” is only the start of a more inclusive Marvel Cinematic Universe.

“There will be many more announcements to come,” Feige told The Times ahead of the “Captain Marvel” release. “Put it this way: It’s only the beginning.”

“People would ask, whether it was ‘Captain Marvel’ or more so last year before the release of ‘Black Panther,’ about the risk of an entirely African and African American cast and how it would play around the world,” he said. “And we said, ‘No — we’re just going to try to make a great movie and put it out to the world.’”

Second to last or last issue of the first arc told us that. lol. I don't think he was planning on him being King. But that promotional material from CW and solo movie was too powerful. Shuri changes, definitely was not part of the plan. Okoye, naw. Dora doing Wakanda Forever salute, naw.

I think he was planning on going into outer space with this story in mind because of the Legacy one shot. It reads too much like something he would do. But if Jason Aaron doesn't pull a Tony Stark post Secret Invasion with Tchalla. This arc will be left by the side of the road.

I don't think it's entirely a secret that marvel will try and incorporate some movie synergy into the comics when they can. Nebula being Gamora's sister and Nick Fury Jr for example.

Given Coates and Coogler are friends, it's potentially more likely to happen in BP.

It started in S1 but really took off in S2 by the end especially

[Dino Adan]

Black Panther is a great success from Marvel Studio’s production. The realization and the story are perfect. We hope to watch a new production like this.

BCD! �� finding more comparisons passing onto one MCU trio to another MCU trio.

1.) Physicals
Iron man and Doctor Strange are glass canons. Outside the tech and magic.
Captain America and Black Panther are supersoldier/enhanced level characters.
Thor and Captain Marvel are the physical powerhouses

2.) Origins/Lore
Iron Man and Doctor Strange. Rich arragont character who went to Asia before becoming heroes.
Captain America and Captain Marvel. Military based heroes from the past.
Thor and Black Panther. Kings of advanced magical nations.

I'm sure there's more but I got bored lol

Based on the capt marvel movie she even t’challa strength wise hell he might be stronger, what makes her mcu version strong is the binary and the amount of power it gives. But she was getting tossed by kree

Jan 18, 2019 - 2018 was a dire year for the network of independently-owned comic book stores that form the backbone of the distribution channel for periodical comics in the United States. Diamond Comic Distributors, the singular distributor for the comic store market, after initially estimating a modest growth in sales for the previous year, issued a correction that overall comic and graphic novel sales fell by about 1% in dollars and nearly 6% by volume compared to 2017, and graphic novel sales through comic stores - a growth segment for the trade book market - fell 8.2% (dollars)/9.7% units.

That means that local comic shops are clinging to the shrinking market of print periodicals - that is, individual issues of comic books published monthly-ish by companies like DC Entertainment, Marvel Entertainment and Image - while losing their share of the booming market for trade collections and graphic novels to other outlets like book stores and Amazon.

Lots of factors account for the decline, including the lack of many true blockbuster hits last year; the self-defeating tactics of large publishers to extract maximum revenue out of a small and unrepresentative group of hardcore collectors; falling costs of digital back issues via subscription services and sales, making it less necessary for readers to follow every series in real time; and general headwinds facing many small, urban-based businesses, such as rising rents and labor costs, which put a pinch on their ability to order extra copies. In the comic book direct market, orders from the distributor are usually non-returnable, which puts huge pressure on retailers to not over-order titles that might not be salable (prices for recent back issues of most comics are near zero), but not under-order on titles that might end up being sleeper hits. Even small miscalculations can be the difference between a good month and catastrophe.

According to the industry site ICv2 (disclosure: I am a contributor), "Comic stores are getting hammered from two directions. First, sales of the graphic novel categories that comic stores are best at are shrinking across channels. Neither Marvel nor DC have been putting out comics that are capturing the public imagination for the past couple of years. Collecting them into graphic novels isn’t making the content any more appealing. As a result, sales of superhero graphic novels are plummeting."

Milton Griepp, ICv2 publisher and a longtime industry analyst, further adds that comic stores, which draw most of their customers from adult superhero fans, are missing out on the biggest trend in comics over the last few years: graphic novels for kids, teens and young readers. ...
