T'challa's Greatest Comic Book Feats: http://blackpanthermarvel.blogspot.c...her-feats.html
It's a comic book thing, and yes it makes her look kinda dumb. She clearly could have gotten the sword if she just asked. But obviously that makes for a boring story and we need a hero vs hero fight, so we got what we got. It's normal comic book stuff ... unfortunately.
Am I the only one really not impressed that Hickman pulled out another explanation for Wakandan excellence out of his a$$?
"They did it because of this McGuffin! It's SO important, we've never even heard of it before! And while I'm at it, here are a bunch of other relics we've never seen that I borrowed from a D&D campaign!"
Its cliche, but fictional sci-fi locations like Asgard or Wakanda or Atlantis tend to be littered with d&d @$$ pulls. The did it with Conan too when he was in Wakanda.
Wakanda is apparently filled with magical weapons and artifacts. It's just that BP writers tend to not want to make up any for BP characters to actually bother using.
Agreed though, very cliche.
I'm just hopeful now that whoever comes in to write the next BP book can actually concentrate on Black Panther and all things Wakandan. Shared Universe is fine and all but I never needed my franchises to intermingle.
Should the relationship be completely done for good...well and so. Both characters could be better off without it. Goddess alone knows the writers didn't do anything significant for them when they were together.
So, literally...no love lost.
Lord Ewing *Praise His name! Uplift Him in song!* Your divine works will be remembered and glorified in worship for all eternity. Amen!
I was thinking the same thing. Here is some all-powerful Wakandan sword that nobody outside of this book has heard of but it's one of the most important relics in the world. That nobody in Wakanda has seen.
And I haven't seen that much protection around the Great Vibranium Mound.
