Black Panther Appreciation 2020

[Ekie]

Yooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Avengers was pretty cool all around.

i can't remember the last time where, you know, T'challa got to throw hands for like an entire issue like that.

AND we got some god stuff ass pulls!

This will be the first time I head to the comic book store in 2 years

spoilers:

That was the ONE part I didn't buy. T'Challa being able to control Thors hammer to the point where he could override Khonshu while Thor could not. Even if a previous BP had familiarity with the hammer, I can't believe they would have greater control than Thor. But from what Thor fans say, Aarons tends to job out Thor a bit so this probably isn't surprising. And it's no big deal... just a minor nit pick in an otherwise fun issue.

Happy independence day to all my fellow Naija peeps.

Just wanted to give a shout-out to T'Challa's showing in Avengers this month. That was definitely a cool fight. Honestly I thought it was going to end at one moment, but then it picks up again. Techniques were pretty cool, though if anyone is familair with African martial arts, is the naming of techniques like that? In Chinese martial arts, there's that poetry and expression, but is it like that in African ones? (Before anything else, yes, I know that Aaron made up the terms, though he did throw in Dambe in there).

As for the rest of the issue, yeah, it was weak. It was confusing at times, especially with the time jumps and what have you. Think it needs to be read with the previous issues. But T'Challa certainly had a great showing!

"Wakandan technology is a match for anyone" -pantherJack

Didn't have a whole lot to do with Wakandan technology.

More than anything, this was Aaron being Aaron. Sucks to be Thor, but what can ya do. Thor is looking real good in his own book, so I guess it all balances out.

T'chalal is gonna get wrecked by Killmonger, watched

T'challa will defeat him by the power of poetry or some **** lol

Ugh, right? Beaten and broken, and relying on Storm to save the day

Todd McFarlene's trbute to Chadwick Boseman

Enduring props for Mr. Boseman but has McFarlane ever apologized for disparaging Milestone back in the 1990s, calling them "get whitey" comics and insisting that Spawn was in comparison the "right way" to convey a black character?

Yo, X it's okay to give any kind of dap to T'Challa getting just a little bit of come up since this is still HIS appreciation thread

Coates reaction after seeing Aaron's Black Panther vs Moon Knight fight:

I would legit be surprised if Coates rethought hos whole ending and actually ended the book with something good take advantage of the artist he has and have an epic ended with T'CHALLA doing the heavy lifting and getting the lions share of feats and decisive victory with poetry and flowery talk kept to an absolute minimum

Eh... I'm not necessarily a huge fan of crappy writing even if it's in favor of characters I like. I think with a bit more effort Aaron probably could have come up with a way for T'Challa to look good which made a bit more sense.

BUT it's a nit pick. Aaron required the story to get from point A to point B, and he got it there. So it's not the end of the world.

Wow, really?

That aside, might as well add to the chorus --- this week's Avengers was great. A much-deserved reminder of who the King is.

Coates gonna do what?

I know I know, Coates is gonna Coates but it would be nice if he did just one good solid, no strings attached thing for T'Challa thst was laced, covered, and drizzled in bullisht

I did think this arc had T'Challa as much more a badass action hero (not initially, but after he regained his memory). I think Wakanda doesn't hold up well, but T'Challa has been the hero on quite a few occasions.

Now, ask me to recall the specific issue and I'll flounder because they were, what, eight months ago?
