T'challa's Greatest Comic Book Feats: http://blackpanthermarvel.blogspot.c...her-feats.html
Coates’ hypothetical rewrites probably have less to do with giving his run a legacy and more to do with making sure he doesn’t radically change the mythos, hamstringing future writers. As it stands Coates’ run already is looking to have little influence going forward which we’ve talked about before.
Democracy hasn’t been a relevant concept since 2017, Okoye has completely replaced the Midnight Angels, Storm is no longer his love interest, T’Challa isn’t being depicted like a wimp in most titles, etc. None of Coates’ “contributions” are sticking and this final issue could be getting rewrites to make sure it stays that way lol. We already lost the Djalia, what if Coates was planning to kill off the gods or turn the Originators into some fixture of the mythos?
Ridley may not want to deal with all that or editorial thinks it’s too radical a change. I’d be fine with Coates putting all of the toys back in the box so a new writer could take the reins without any major changes to the mythos. Doesn’t mean that the themes or lore Coates introduced will survive past his run.

I know people are divided on Coogler's choice (unless it was from Feige)
However, I really do feel bad for him. He's probably too close to Chad to replace him and in doing so made his script that more difficult. It was already taking a long time to complete, it already had high expectations, it was already going to have people's knives out ready to criticize. Lets be honest there are people still upset the 1st one was so celebrated critically and financially.
I truly dont envy him and wouldnt have blamed him from just walking away from the project. He didnt have to, but I do wish Chad gave Coogler some kind of peace on what to do. Sure somebody would still be mad. However, every time I see Coogler he just looks stressed. And that was while promoting an oscar-nominated film.
His ran is completely garbage. From the jump there was very little that could be done to "Fix" his run. Outsider of a plot twist that mother is a villain and a liar and none of the stuff Coates has had happen is true, the only thing writers can do is ignore it... Until a future writer comes in and decides to channel them some Coates era bullshit
Chad did. He told everyone, all the time, in every interview. He was always about the person following him. Straight up everything he said on interviews supports this. BP is the biggest IP, and the biggest black lead in a franchise. You think he wants the role to die with him? I mean he did say all this constantly. Yet that gets ignored and instead "No one can be T'Challa, that was Chads role and only his"
The best thing would be to step away, or better yet, give the team time to actually heal.
Which is why they should have pushed the movie back. Marvel has plenty of shit in development.
They needed to let the situation breath.
Either so the general public could come around to recasting, or so the current cast and director had time to grieve and relax a bit.
Rushing out and screaming "WE ARENT RECASTING!!! NO MATTER WHAT" and then not pushig the movie back was... very financially motivated i'd guess. Disney needs the money post covid
They haven't had a single L at all.

It truly boggles my mind that the awesome idea of Wakanda having a galactic empire was butchered. The only way I can see the empire sticking is if a future writer decides that T’Challa has the empire chilling out in the cosmos but will call them up if a major Thanos level threat shows up. Basically it can be called upon as a last resort.

When have they been on a situation like this? Going "Well they haven't failed yet" doesn't work here. Now of this had happened before sure, there's reason to have faith, but given the circumstances, what we know from what has been said, how fast Disney is pushing for filming despite the fact when Chad passed Coogler had just finished the script, after it took forever to do, now he has to start over. If Marvel is just n100% confident it will be fine then they are truly shortsighted
