The panther Megazord would have been in agents, but that got canceled. Lol

sometimes yeah it can be fun, I know I wouldn't always want to see Wakanda just blow stuff up from a distance, but, having the main tech holding back the big guns? Yeah for sure, the smaller ground infantry that got through? Let's go to close quarters and whip out the close range tech. Plus at the very least the HZ should be sporting guns, if they wanted to playwuo a ranging battle, then show wakandan tech on the mix because that too looks awesome. I am tired of seeing the most advanced nation on earth aways running around with spears
Btw, the sword T'Challa is using there is Excelsior. A Kree/Skrull hybrid magical sword. It's the same one we saw embedded into the throne in the recent trailer.

I mean, what I don't get is how they didn't seem to Notice (or maybe they did but didnt care) that Coates had zero love for T'Challa or Wakanda at all.
Like dude went 3 interviews or something before he said what he did like about the character and even then it wasn't much. How can you let someone like that on a book with one of your ips that just blew up and has shown you that there is a huge demographic that you haven't tapped into that you can access and instead of capitalizing on a writer that will bring out the best in the IP, you take a guy who has zero comic writing experience, give him full reign on the book without oversight, and then allow him to run his mouth and bring out the most racists, stereotypical isht that has plagued black people for forever and something writers like Priest, Hudlin and McGregor worked hard to break away from and Coates comes in full force to re-establish that isht into the minds of everyone and it made worse because he is a black man doing it.
I mean they should if listened to the pitch then asked what they're thoughts were on T'Challa and what his mythos means to them. Then got rid of the bad candidate (Coates) to make sure the best person was on the job

I think they went in under the idea that no matter what is done to him in the books folks will STILL buy it.
Hear me out
Because they have CONSTANTLY seen this with other books.
If there was a black people killing cloud from the Inhumans-WHO here would have bought that book and made life you know what for Inhuman fans?
If Black Panther lost his memory called himself Black D**k and roamed around in a toilet bowl city like *********who would buy it?
If Panther KILLED Hulking, Patriot, Kate and a few long MIA guys at a place to get mental help and covered it up-who here would buy it?
If Black Panther had a son that somehow got older and wants to run around with a team from the future-who here would buy it?
If Black Panther jr kidnapped a bunch of Avengers and made himself the leader and KEPT screwing up-who here buy it?
If Black Panther was in a book called Shuri and the Wakanda Corps and the artist told you this was HER book and everyone else is support cast-who would buy it?
Buying it under the stance of NOT enjoyment but out of some call to duty to support the character no matter how bad it gets.
Despite fan hate-5 of the above are from Distinguished Competition and have still get plenty or orders to clog up shelves.
When it comes to POC lead books-it does not matter how much we love Black Panther-most fans are going to say no thank you to the above and move on.
With that group gone-your store is not going to over order the books.
You are not going to get spectators either nor bin diggers like me. Unless there is a variant cover I want-I would bypass them.
Marvel took a gamble and it failed direct market but trade wise it worked for awhile.
If Marvel got a writer who could win over both sides and STILL respect Panther-we might see more.
