    Im sure he was giving his opinion and not trying to give you your opinion.

    My opinion....hollow. Ayo is still a red shirt Dora. We aren't going to get an Ayo merchandising branch. Or a brand new Ayo movie series.

    Really there's no good way to move on without T'Challa, you either recast or reboot. A recast is the only logical way to continue the black panther franchise because it's not just a mantle. It's a specific character. No one ever thinks Black Panther and then list off all the Black Panthers we have had over the last 50 years. It's one character, playing these games only damages the one unapologetic mainstream Black super hero with this bullisht stunt. Marvel needs to do better and be smart about this. Don't perpetuate Black makes being expendable
    This is true but I think the bug problem is that until recently T'Challa has never gotten the exposure that he has now. If articles constantly mentioning that Shuri has held the mantle and plenty of comic/marvel YouTube channels mentioning it too, no surprise that non comic readers seem to think that the franchise can move on without him and that's the demographic Marvel will pander to.

    We know that the franchise/mythos has focused on T'Challa 90% of the time with the exceptions being WoW, Kasper's brief tenure (even then T'Challa still played a major role) and Shuri's. And what never gets mentioned is that despite Shuri having been the BP, it didn't matter because at the time Marvel was still using T'Challa as THE Black Panther because thats who he is. How many epic stories/runs can be listed for Shuri BP.

    The main selling point for her BP has been black queen superhero. So they care more about the representation Shuri BP will bring than the franchise as a whole.

    Thats fine if you disagree, if you are enjoying the stuff more power to you. However to ME, the only thing I cared about in the MCU was the BP franchise and IW and EG and even those two I really only cared to see T'Challa. Now that T'Challa is apparently done with the MCU I don't care about it at all and only looking forward to seeing more of T'Challa and HIS world. When I see HIS world moving on and higher ups saying he won't be apart of it and that the plan all along was to focus on Wakanda more and not T'Challa (even though interviews and the Solo and both Avengers movies prove otherwise) it makes my above statement true. It's hollow, they are exploiting T'Challas world And claiming they are "too sad" to not recast but not too sad to recast or allow time to heal and recast.

    So yes the DM showing up in F&WS IS hollow to me because it's reinforcing and reminding of the bullshit stunt Marvel is pulling all in the name of "Honoring Chadwick" ya know, The guy who said he wanted BP to outlive us all and was a trailblazer and would of wanted T'Challa to continue on

    Yeah, until they realize that holds little water compared to a character created during the height of the civil rights movement and had 50+ years and ACTUAL story to pull from. Unless they pull some bullshit and take T'Challas stories and turn them into Shuris, people will catch on. Especially since sites Love to talk about top stories of a character. Once people start a miniscule about of looking they will find Shuri pretty bare. Simply put Shuri holds zero weight behind her being BP other than optics that rarely translate into a healthy nor successful movie. That goes for any side Character with minimal development trying to take over an established franchise.

    Really This is a situation just like spartacus, they recast the actor, used S2 to tell a different story and prepare for a recast and S3 they replaced the actor. The show was super popular and at it's highest even in S3 It was at it's highest. No is the same. No one will replace Chad ever. He is seal as the OG BP. But he blew the door wide open for T'Challas stories to be told. So this whole "no one can replace Chad, he will always be the Black Panther" is true, to the extent no one can replace him. But T'Challa can and should live on. This ain't a one off Character created for the MCU. This is a long standing Character who has been around for a long time and will continue after all of us are gone

    Obviously not recasting T'Challa. However, if they were this Sope Dirisu guy would be great.


    Dude is great on Gangs of London.

    Yeah her and Aneka were the two Doras that strapped T'Challa to the teleporter he used to get on Galactus' ship.

    I think they should go more American and cast Denzel Washington son. He’s mainstream enough to bring in even more viewers and an excellent verbal and physical actor.

    That group does NOT care. She is black woman as the "lead" and that is all that matters.

    Now if the movie bombs or really underperforms-line starts to the right of

    "It's all black men fault."
    "Everyone in this thread to blame."
    "White supremacy"
    "China"
    "Republicans"
    "Should have had she who must not be named, Doom or Namor"

    Not the fact that there is a lack of material.

    And most of the new stuff is focusing on her NOT being Black Panther. It's showcasing HER as HERSELF.

    I could see JDW in the role mainly due to the strong connection his family has with Boseman’s. But my top pick would definitely be Damson Idris. He’s killing it on Snowfall and it helps that he’s very young so if he were to follow in Boseman’s footsteps the MCU could get a lot of mileage out of him.
