Its kind of amazing how Thor got rebooted. Seemed like his character wasnt even needed until that 3rd Thor film crushed it. Him and Loki both seemed to have run out of gas by 2016. Yet they got a great couple of years boost.
Quiet as its kept Ironman was running on fumes by 2015 as well. No one was really looking to see T0ny as a lead for real around that time. Civil War brought him back big time.

We are the Dora Milaje. We are the daughters of the 18 tribes of Wakanda. We are the teeth of the Panther God. Out of 10,000 years of sweat and bloodshed and battle are we born. We are the women of this ancient land. Deadliest of the species. And our time has come!

That's where I'm at. If we had gotten a full trilogy with T'Challa then I'd have no problem with someone else taking over the mantle. But cutting T'Challa's narrative down rather than re-casting seems damn disrespectful. I know Marvel, Fiege, and Coogler are doing what they feel is best and these guys haven't let me down yet, but we can recast Batman, Superman, Spider-Man, and even the Hulk within the MCU itself, so why not T'Challa? I can't imagine that Chadwick wanted this character put on a shelf prematurely. I didn't know the man but everyone says he was a really great, stand-up guy and he knew how important this character was to everyone, and I can't imagine he'd have wanted T'Challa put in the grave with him.
Man, I haven't posted in this thread in months. All the talk about the film, Chadwick's passing, and Coates run....just too damn depressing yknow? But I'm hesitantly excited for Ridley's run; he's a fantastic writer and I look forward to seeing what he does with T'Challa. Of course, I said the same thing about Coates before his run began, so I'm pretty cautious this time around, but after the last year.....T'Challa fans really need a win and I'm hoping this is it.
