T'Challa: The Black Panther Appreciation 2021

And our right to NOT support the movie.

Bottom line right there.

Screw the fake woke and the echo chamber who will march in here and lecture about being real fans.
The same folks who called MBJ every coon under the sun but now scream Killmonger was right.

60 years EVERYONE had a chance to develop Wakanda beyond T'Challa. No use in starring now with Wakanda getting Katrina by Namor with a cameo by Kanye saying "Namor don't care about black people."

Co signed on all of this.

Now I'm upset and conflicted all over again lol. We had good news. Judge was great in God of War and I look forward to Evan's story for the game.

Cosigned, and as a Marvel fan, I also liked how Christopher Judge did Magneto's voice in X-Men: Evolution, so I'm hoping he brings at least some of that energy to his take on T'Challa/Black Panther. That said, not only have we made it past 600 pages . . . the total number of posts in this here thread . . . to beat a long-dead horse (or meme) even deader . . .

"It's OVER 9000!"

Next on my list of comics I read was the first trade of space Wakanda and the first trade of Shuri. Both seem relevant now although neither will be directly what the MCU is doing.

For Black Panther, I was surprised at how little I liked Acuna's art the second time around. The first time I read it, it was the entire draw. Re-reading it, it was very confusing and hard to understand (still beautiful, though). Coates didn't just let the art breathe, he completely abdicated to the art. There were pages with practically no dialogue where something would have been useful. I actually thought the arc got stronger as it developed but was really confusing at first.

For the Shuri book, Okorafor did some of the Long Live the King story. I don't love her writing, which feels a bit on the nose. I did like the ties to continuity, though. I felt it tried too hard to bury the Djalia stuff, but it didn't completely abandon it so I'm curious where that will end up. I also didn't like the Iron Man cameo. I'm curious what will happen next, but for a book that seemingly explained how T'Challa ended up in space, it feels relatively non-essential. It also doesn't really explain the Intergalactic Empire.

WHAT 9000?! THERES NO WAY THAT CAN BE RIGHT!

In all seriousness, I think Judge is going to knock it out of the park. Now all we need is a Black Panther game proper to be made after this. Oh and make it single player. The recently announced Guardians of the Galaxy game gives me hope that Crystal Dynamics learned from the mistakes of avengers.

Yeah, that would be be awesome to see.

Been clamouring for a BP video game since God knows when

Hopefully, it comes to fruition as there might be some light at the end of the tunnel.

I think in order to let the art do it's thing, you need to still give directions with detail's of what your wanting to portray. I still think Acunas art is the only saving grace though. Rereading through the arcs just continues to highlight how weak it is

I’m still going to pay to see it. I laugh at people who criticize Lebron. Because when he’s gone they’re going to wish he was still here. And I think Lebron always taking the high road will greatly benefit his legacy in the long run. When I have a bigger voice than I have now, I will continue to give him praise.

I'm a big time LeBron Fan the movie was just meh but I think the first Space jam was meh.

Too bad that there is going to be just one-shot story on the Intergalactic Empire of Wakanda. How can any writer squander so much potential like it meant nothing?

I remember it gets weaker as well. I'll confirm after I read the rest of the arc.

The one thing I did like about the first arc is it does feel more like a continuation of what came before than I remembered. I appreciated the Orishas being there since the last arc seemed to sort of spiral off the rails and forget about them.

Wait, what were people calling MBJ a coon for?

He was allegedly dating a white woman and for a few years there was some bs gossip that he didn't like black women.

They’ll inevitably turn on Letitia Wright again when they dig up those anti vaxxer tweets from late last year. Mark my words.
