T'Challa: The Black Panther Appreciation 2021

[Jabare]

T'Challa was on point doing his leader thing in Avengers today. He keeps a crazy schedule.

That said I'm not sure how I feel about the ending storywise for Blade.

[DigiCom]

Has that been confirmed?

NOTHING has been confirmed. Feige said they weren't going to recast, but until and unless they actually announce something officially, it could just as easily be a swerve.

People are, as usual, taking drips of data and turning them into a Niagara of speculation (usually negative).

I liked T'challa in Avengers today.

And more Blade!

oh and remember when T'challa has been too busy in his own solo book to do stuff....

spoilers:

like rape camps and ****? well, apparently he can find time to look over medical files of a 9 year old at a cancer hospital and clear his schedule to get there early in the middle of 20 other tasks bc that is what T'challa does. Because he is a bast damn hero Coates is a idiot

end of spoilers

I'm confused what is going on with the book though... looks like we are revisting Vampire arc (one of the better ones) but... Heroes Reborn is soon right? and WW she Hulk? When is this going to be explored? Is there a blade book coming out?

Avengers was cool. Good to see the real T'Challa chugging along doing boss stuff and being in control making moves we all know he makes unlike the fake one in that bad fano Coates is writing lol. Seriously T'Challa in avengers and Coates T'Challa aren't even in the same MU they are so different.

I didn't expect the hologram spoilers:

To be T'chaka. And it talked like it was force ghost T'chaka? Curious

end of spoilers

Did Aaron pull the holograms from BP vs DP?

I honestly don't remember about Gorilla Man lol.....

Aaron has so many plot lines right now it feels like he plans to be on the run for a long long long time

So far, I liked the first Vamp arc and I actually liked the Khonshu arc.

I don't know, but it would be funny if he programmed an A.I. version of him like Tony did for himself. I guess they have some brain scans of him somewhere.

I think calling them hard light holograms is. But in BP vs DP, they are fully colored.

I really hope they actually put some effort into the animation side. It's a good way to lock in the younger crowd, whole being able to pull off big feats you can't in love action due to budget,and time restraints.

Also, I read an article a week or so ago talking about how the BP franchise will most likely be good without T'Challa based on F&WS showings of the DM and I had to chuckle.

Reading it made me realize how divorced from reality people can be. The said they given the fan reception of the DM showing up, it's clear that people care about Wakanda and want to see more (true) however, what these people generally fail to realize is that small cameos in a tv series or a movie does NOT constitute enough carrying power for an entire movie. It's why when people said they should make a Domino movie, or an Okoye movie or whatever, the seem to think that their short < 5-10 showing is enough to warrant and entire movie.

Hell people to this day still say T'Challa was better on CW then in his Solo despite his cw debut he accomplished nothing through out the entire movie other then keeping Zemo alive.

Whereas he carried his movie and people were more enamoured by the scenes of Shuri, or M'Baku, or Okoye. Yeah, it's easy to make a character look badass, or memorable or whatever when they have less that 16 min of screen time. People thought the same with T'Challa on CW too. However, when they need to carry the movie, theb3 listed above fall waaaay short of the mark because their defining features are being witty or badass. You need alot more if your the main focus in a 2+ hour movie.

Well our first clue to their approach on the animation side is "what if Tchalla (imaged as Chadwick Boseman) was actually starlord instead....

"What if this character were this chatacter" doesn't interest me in the slightest bit if I'm looking for animated stories about Tchalla and wakanda.

Synergy that only takes into account the actors and completely ignores the stories of the characters because Disney refuses to separate the characters from the mcu or it's just failing to realize that the characters of tye Marvel universe are the draw not Hollywood.
I don't need Angelina Jolie as The Voice of ( insert popular character) to go see an animated or even theatrical presentation of a popular character so long as whoever is doing the voice or the acting does a sufficient job.

Even Ryan Renolds as perfect a deadpool as he is still isnt the draw for Deadpool fans. They want a competent Deadpool and the actor will profit no matter the name...(Gal Gadot)

He must of pulled it from that which makes sense they T'Challa would have that.

As for your other point spoilers:

I was curious about that too of he somehow synced his dad's Spirit to the clone since it didn't talk like a program or anything. I guess it could be a recording but its talk bubble was more human. I didn't expect him to be fighting his father either. I want to see them square off in real life sometime down the line

end of spoilers


So far I want more of the super human arms race and khonshu arc ad well. And whatever was going on with Namor

Ok. Because I'm really not interested in an OC being the next BP, or Killmonger for that matter

I think hes making the Tchalla and Kyle Richmond adversarial work pretty well. Hopefully Kyle survives heroes reborn to do more stories. Lol

Feigie said in a recent interview and I quote "we are working on bringing in a brand new character as well"
Now could he have been talkin about a new side character...sure

But is a side character worth mentiining in an interview when the question was about the future of the franchise without Black Panther?

Its likely this brand new MCU character that they are about to make up just going to play a pretty significant role

Likely? Yes.

Confirmed, no.

I'd think Wandavision would have cured folks from over-analyzing, but geeks gotta geek, I guess.

Likely is enough for me to speculate. I'm no Grace Randolph or anyting lol so nothing I say is confirmed. But with the amount of rumors and Kevin feige bringing up the fact that Ryan is playing around with a brand new character in response to that question it leads to a very likely conclusion. Just not a confirmed one until we see some trailers

And Wanda Vision people thought Mephisto was going to show up. There was absolutely zero likelihood or Reason for that to happen lol

It is kinda weird to have an Avengers book that focuses on BP, Blade, and Ghost Rider... it really seems the OG trio are just in the background and Shulk isn't even recognizable as a character right now lol. And idk what Carol does.

Granted, It hink I missed an arc or two in the middle wehre they might have did more but still

as of right now, I am probably gonna by the Vampire tride and the Khonshu trade but still seeing how this shakes out.

I actually love that development as well it's pretty cooler. Though part of me is stily a little salty we didn't see that out hands on Namor

it is but hey I'ma ride this out till I can't anymore lol. Good to see T'Challa actually leading and being a central player on the mu

How would y’all feel about Kyle being a recurrent BP enemy in the solo? He’s a Senator, right? He’s got the clout and martial arts talent to be a legitimate threat with the right story.

As for the issue as a whole, Aaron does a really good job with T’Challa and Blade. The superhuman arms race is the only thing keeping this book interesting not only because T’Challa gets more focus but because you get complex storylines that have some weight to them. That scene of him with his dad was a nice touch and that rundown of how overworked T’Challa was is endearing.

But I like how we get hints he’s emotionally distant from his teammates like when he gets a bit of criticism from Ghost Rider. As much as I like BP competence porn the man’s been busy and one can’t help but think he’s due for a reckoning. Not in a bad Wakanda gets destroyed kind of way, but more he just cracks a bit under the pressure of carrying the entire team lol. Could be a nice character moment, but I also really liked his use of Wakanda to deal with all this geopolitics, that’s the type of stuff I wanna see in the next solo.
