T'Challa: The Black Panther Appreciation 2021

[MindofShadow]

The ones like they're currently doing, the Wasteland stories with Star-Lord, Hawkeye and Logan.

I thought he was confirmed dead in that universe but i can't find any confirmation so it is possibility.

Be bleak as hell though... can't imagine many scenarios where Wakanda was taken over and T'challa didn't die fighting

I guess the space empire would give him an out.

1000 pages right before the end of the year. T’Challa fans are built different.

Could be something where at the end of Secret Wars he tried to remake Earth but something went wrong(Doom interfered) and all the planet is a wasteland.

No one can deny our fervor!

Congrats .

Or just crazy.

See you on the other side, my brothers.

[Jabare]

Anyone think we can get to 1000 pages before the end of the year? Lol.

[Ekie]

We need a full mini. We've seen plenty of BP stories set in the past, we need more future stories(not like what Bendis did).

Need to bring back the Solomon frogs

1000 pages, mostly sorrow LOL but an achievement nonethelessFCKrgjWXoAYg99i.jpg

Hopefully Ridley (or more Panther projects from RedJack) brings us happiness in the next 1000 pages

Unlike many of my fellow fans, I tend not to think in terms of numbers, because it's pretty clear that the writers don't bother. On the one hand, the "official" handbook says that a character can only lift 5 tons... on the other, they need him to throw an armored truck at Doctor Doom.

Which do you think will happen?

In terms of equipment, I tend to think in terms of what the character is like, and what he'd likely carry.

So we have this:

T'Challa is a fighter who uses stealth and agility in combat. He's not the sort to do a frontal attack, tanking blows and just pounding on people until they go down.

So, from that perspective:

Offensive:

Melee range: Claws, force push.
Short range: Knives, force bubble (al al the movie).
Long range: Ghost spear (which is also the only weapon usable against mystic enemies)..

I don't want the force push to be a long-range weapon, because that's again more of an IM thing.

Defensive:

Impact & penetration-resistant habit. Easy choice, bet less useful against directed energy.
Cloak: Because I can't see why he'd let the HZ have it and not keep it for himself, too. The transformative function (particularly my fave Armani mode) is a side-effect.

I'm of a divided mind about teleportation. On the one hand, it's a useful tactical ability. OTOH, I don't trust other writers to not turn it into a crutch. I'd rather have the claok used in a similar "fade-out" fashion.

Utility:

Integrated Kimoyo systems. Because bracelets can break, and cards dropped.
Vibranium soles: Because why not?
Tech in the cowl that enhances his already superhuman senses.

Anything in addition would have to be carefully considered in terms of future use/abuse. Being suddenly able to block telepathy, for example, might very well be within the scope of Wakandan science, but it's a door that, once opened, is difficult to close.

(Being able to do it because of personal discipline, OTOH, makes it a personal feat, and one that could theoretically fail if he was disoriented or tired after a long battle.)

I know, it's really tempting to give T'Challa all the gear necessary to take out any foe, but this leads down the road of "and then what?" So it behooves a writer to hold that tendency back, to leave room for story.

As far as taking on mystical threats TChalla really has two spears that he can summon. The Spear of Bashenga (the red one), and his mystical spear (the blue one) that he uses when he commands the ghost army. I like them both, but maybe all he needs is one. Both of them he can summon into his hand at will whenever he chooses.

[Ezyo1000]

I actually didnt have a problem with him not wanting or having the idea to open Wakanda. Cause it showed he still had the side of **** yall in him.

Yeah the problem though is that was T'Challas whole deal that made him the progressive forward thinking Wakandans what set him apart from his nation. That's like taking the shrapnel angle from Tony and having pepper say he should build a suit and save people and stop creating weapons.

[Hellscream]

It would be interesting that the sleeper agent is Kymera. A Storm baby that fans think the father to be Tchalla or Logan.

On another note, is this not Coogler second film that he actually wrote and directed? But I still wonder what would Ava Duverany would have done with Black Panther. I know the wrinkle in time did not go so well. Maybe an understatement. But she do have DMZ and Naomi for Warner Bros.

The Bashenga spear was snapped in half by Killmonger (god modding). So maybe a story them fusing the two could work. But the Bashenaga spear was still able to kill Killmonger in the end.

Yeah. I was a little disappointed that Killmonger could break it. But the spear still ended Killmonger like you said.

To my knowledge BP wasn't explicitly shown dead in the Old Man universe. There's a flashback in Old Man Hawkeye where it's implied the team of Avengers T'Challa was leading got taken out offscreen, but as always in comics, no body, no confirm lol.
