Black Panther Appreciation 2019

He knocks it out of the park for Storm. But as usual he fails massively to knock it out of the park for T’challa.

how? hes setting the stage for tchalla to go to war with rge symbiote

And knowing Chokes he’ll probably chump out T’Challa and have one of his supporting cast do the heavy lifting while he cheers on from the sidelines.

He's been setting the stage for over 3 years lol.

Setting the stage is definately the right term. He's bringing together characters and concepts from the very first season and tying it into the current conflict in a fairly logical way. That's kinda cool.

Like waiting for Thanksgiving dinner. Sports are on to keep us distracted(BP vs DP, Avengers,....). Family members nobody likes come over(WoW, Shuri...), but there is a burning smell coming from the kitchen and the Mac N Cheese is looking pretty dry.

I'm not holding my breath. T'Challa will likely get chumped in favor of another character, the most likely candidate being Storm, since that's who he actually wants to write and gets the best showings in the series.

Then there's Zenzi and Tetu. Their thing was basically no one man and a democratically ruled Wakanda they got that in the end. Zenzi ended up working with Nazi's which should go against everything she and Tetu believes in and now they're going to serve an emperor that slaved entire galaxies who wants to add Wakanda Prime to it.

So Nazi's and slavers are a better option than T'Challa? What are Zenzi's motivations again? It was Killmonger and the Nigandans that experimented on her and left her for dead. At least Tetu's made since but not anymore.

Why is it T'Challa's decision to decide what needs to be done with the Djhalia? What happened to no one man and why is he giving orders if his position is ceremonial? S1 essentially pointless now since nothing that came from it really matters anymore.

It's easier to buy them serving the emperor since as as far as they know, this was their former teacher whom they based their entire belief system on.

That aside, considering that under T'Challa Tetu at least was behind bars in the short term serving anyone other than T'Challa serves his interests better.

omg yes that last page was so cool. like were they in on this the entire time???

[Ezyo1000]

T'Challa doesn't do anything in issue 16 the action is there to showoff Storm.

spoilers:

It seems that NuKillmonger's conscious merged with the symbiote and they took over Changamire. The Djalia has to be destroyed to restore the rebels memories. NuKillmonger gets help from Zenzi and Tetu

end of spoilers

Good Lord... Why? Why?? This isn't Storms book. This isn't BP and Storm. It's the Black Panther..

Also lol at the second part.. well not really lol but why the f*** even waste time abd panel space for it?

As for avengers I can't wait to read it even if it's not much

[XPac]

I doubt they could have been in on this the entire time. But it's very cool that they're being used again. Now there's a small group of meta human bad guys to fight. That's always funner than just the hero beating up red shirts.

T'challa is gone worrying about memories of future people

Wakanda defends themselves against a space invasion from an advanced civilization that was brought to Wakanda BY T'challa... without T'challa.


T'challa continues to be utterly unimportant to the book. The book should logically conclude that Wakanda is much better off without T'challa right? Anything else would be an asspull at this point.

The "best" thing T'challa did was have a magic stick that keeps Storm around to defend Wakanda every once in awhile.

This is one of those instances where we see T'Challa isn't just a king, but a super hero. A king might decide not to endanger their kingdom by bringing their enemies to their door. But a super hero would if it meant defeating an evil empire and serving the greater good. Not unlike AvX and Hickmans New Avengers, T'Challa is placing Wakanda at some degree of risk in order to use it as a tool to serve the greater good. Because that's what heroes do.

Shuri understandably is against it, demonstrating more of a "Wakanda first" mentality. And that's entirely justifiable. They are risking the newfound peace Wakanda is enjoying (which the book DOES credit to T'Challa), to help a bunch of people in outer space they don't even know.

It's not an easy call... but when you're an Avenger, that's what you do.

It is sort of nice when writers remember Storm actually has powers when alien invasions are happening.

It would actually be nicer if writers focused on showing the titular character besting threats to his people in his own SOLO book as opposed to using said book to prop up supporting characters who are all back of the bus in their own family of franchise books.

This would have been a perfect opportunity to show the might of Wakanda's tech and defense with T'challa leading the battle strategy. We rarely get a chance to see Wakanda flex and you would think the solo book during a space invasion by a future empire would be a great chance for it.

But I mean, riding a winged panther in some memory plane and speaking 2 pages is cool too
