T'Challa: The Black Panther Appreciation 2021

[Marvell2100]

Redjack making her an alchemist was brilliant. Magic and science merged in one discipline in a way that allows Shuri to be useful without crabbing from her brother.

I agree, that's a perfect role for her.

Agree with all of this. Hell not even Ayo and Aneka have taken off like Coates and his crew hoped that they would (even though the former had the famous “move or you will be moved” line from Civil War). I know some people in this thread have a little bit of reservations towards him but I still think Evan Narcisse would be a good choice for a successor since unlike Coates you can tell he loves the character.

The first Black Panther film immortalized Okoye as the definitive Dora Milaje. That killed Ayo and Aneka’s chances of being the face of that organization, thankfully. But since I strongly believe the Dora are gonna get pushed in the MCU (it’s possible if not likely the Wakanda D+ series will focus on them), they’re actually one of the Coates era characters I expect to live on and perhaps grow in popularity. There was no chance they were gonna get killed off in the comics anyway since they’re homosexuals. And they’re the only Dora that have gotten some kind of development. If we get a Dora Milaje D+ series Ayo and Aneka will probably continue to be relevant in BP comics, even if they’re not on the level of Okoye.

Evan Narcisse’s got the potential but I truly don’t want anymore neophytes handling BP. He did solid with Rise and the Miles Morales game was amazing but I’m too burned by Coates to want anymore writers that don’t have decent experience writing comics. I’d say give him World of Wakanda vol 2 and let him run wild there for a year or two before giving him the keys to the kingdom.

I could see a LOOSE adaptation of A Nation Under Our Feet, but I think it’ll be so altered from the comic version that a lot of the elements and results of that story won’t match the comics. I don’t see a Constitutional monarchy happening in MCU Wakanda. But I could see a faction of Dora Milaje being separated from the crown led by Ayo and Aneka. I think the Dora are gonna get a huge push so Okoye is gonna need friends. The Midnight Angels are inevitable.

I’ve already accepted that Disney Marvel is stupid and will probably try to bring in someone to continue the Coates direction. Roxanne Gay or someone like her (female, little comic experience, strong social media presence) seems likely IMO. But maybe the commercial failure of this run pushes Marvel to go the more conventional route. Redjack not getting the nod feels like a red flag though. Unless Disney Marvel wants to move away from Coates and simply preferred a different pitch.

Bro if they do an adaptation of ANUOF before any Priest or Hudlin, they crazy.

I’ve made it clear by now that I’m not giving Black Panther 2 any of my time or attention, but I’m more than willing to give the Wakanda D+ show a chance. Especially seeing how Wandavision turned out and my excitement for Falcon and Winter Soldier.

The only upside to ANUOF getting adapted is that T’Challa won’t be there to get chumped out.

Nothing super new here guys, just that the script for the sequel was probably already done, and Martin Freeman will be returning.

Interesting, considering that Feigi claimed that they we're already going to a more Wakanda focused sequel, which was obviously bullshit, it again just reinforces why they should of waited. Done the D+ series to give time to grieve and time to find a good successor to follow Chad's work and continue the legacy and T'Challas story

Literally Redjacks whole KiB is how the franchise should go forward. Shuri had a defined role, it's separate from T'Challa, gives her an avenue that T'Challa doesn't occupy, and her own space to grow into her own character. T'Challa is THE guy, man with a plan and everyone felt hope come back when T'Challa was on the scene. That's how it should be. Plus I am interested in his crocodile character, sheathe, ha d of bast, and what he would do with the HZ and Doras

Who will Ayo and Aneka blame for "No One Man"?

Yeah, too bad that we won't get any Redjack BP.

I'll be getting the John Stewart GL though.

Anyways, who’s ready for the Coates era to finally be over next month?

PAST ready.....

Because it means few "folks" in here trying to demand Panther fans to worship Coates. No more being told to accept and celebrate crumbs because it fits THEIR agenda.

Which I don't get because at the end of the day-

Coates got Superman.
There will be a Black Panther (in name) movie and Wakanda series.
Shuri is still being pushed outside media with her own books.
Black Panther volume 9 will happen SOMEDAY

What did they get? Every dollar they spent on this book benefitted PANTHER. Their hyping of the book benefitted PANTHER. Throwing shade at Redjack & Spectrum did what good?
At the end if the day MARVEL used them. That is what Marvel did.

Oh well Everybody be sure to support Green Lantern next month (got mine pre-ordered) and see what could have been.

They will blame the first empty Black Panther suit they can find or a resurrected Killmonger.

[Ekie]

Who will Ayo and Aneka blame for "No One Man"?

They can blame Tchaka lol he didnt do anything good in the movie anyway and its not like Tchalla is gonna be around to defend his honor or tell about the kind of father he was as a young man since we skipped all that orgin stuff.

[BlackClaw]

Who will Ayo and Aneka blame for "No One Man"?

They’ll probably blame M’Baku or whatever random male Wakandan that MCU shills think should be the new BP. Or they’ll blame Shuri and go “no one woman” instead.

Also, I cant think of a single thing id keep from coats run (I ly bought one issue after the slanderous interviews). I have a general knowledge from the forums and even the villains seem lackluster in an already crowded and underexplored field. Maybe the plane designs but that might be stelfreeze.

[Ezyo1000]

I wonder how RJs KiB sold. I'm very salty about it. Such glowing reviews and legit a great story. Everything we wanted and asked for in that issue. It blew tf a out of all Coates BS. And the characters felt... Real? Like the had actual personality to them and not all talking in the same tone and dull
