I love it when my point is proven...
Thanks guys!
Black Panther seems to be about everybody else other than him even in this thread!
Shuri... Storm... The third Dora from the left... The random elder that pops in and says hi and sucks up panel space... Endless ensembles... etc etc
While on the other hand Princess Zanda's existence makes it all about him even when it's all about her because that's what a leading lady does by default Catwoman style!
T'challa in the comics is surrounded by women he can't intimately touch like baby sister, Okoye and ratchet Nakia!
The words neutered come to mind as focus is shifted to random Wakandans that not only can't sell anything on their own but a new writer could ignore and they might not necessarily be missed!
King T'challa could technically declare war against Princess Zanda and give a whole new meaning to Helen of Troy or Joan of Arc but instead we worrying about what school Shuri should enroll in!
In history (Google for me) has there ever been two possible love interests meeting on a battlefield over bedroom politics... I'll wait!
You could have switched out Black Swan with Zanda and gone in so many directions and built up a more popular rogues gallery character cosplayed by black women at every major comic convention!
Talia al Ghul got Batman drugged to impregnate her with Damian Wayne which forever links them together... Meanwhile struggling sales Black Panther still talking about Shuri and whatnot!
Princess Zanda: "King T'challa... I'm pregnant!"
King T'challa: "..."
(insert reaction story right here)
Is it me or is Batman having all the fun even when he appears to not be having fun... Now let's look at those tech school brochures for Shuri!
Redjack you should pick a name out for Princess Zanda's lovechild and get the ball rolling on your downtime... just saying!
