I'm not gonna say anymore than that and I definitely was not one of them as I defended the dude from day one but it is real.
Russo's don't care about T'challa lol. He was a means to an end. He was an afterthought. "****, we lost spider-man, who else can we add in? Let's just expand T'challas role."
"Yes, we got spider-man back, lets shoe horn him into the conflict in a way that makes no narrative sense at all and accomplishes nothing to the story!"
The hard on for certain characters isn't just a comics issue.
There was literally no reason to snap T'challa. He could have easily taken Okoye's roll in the film and you could have snapped Okoye, Mbaku, Nakia, Shuri, Ramonda and left T'challa in isolation without his support. He could have still showed up in the end with Wakanda's army.
Instead of Endgame starting with more Hawkeye dick riding (Ronin made no fucking sense and was a waste of time in the movie), imagine T'challa frantically running back to the golden city to see that his sister, mom, and nakia were snapped out of existence after just watching Okoye, Mabku, and half his army disappear.
But watching Hawkeye's crappy choreograpy in Japan was cool!
