T'Challa: The Black Panther Appreciation 2021

Is that actually T'challa?

I think it's supposed to be but the voice sounds like a younger person in the suit.

[KingNomarch]

T'Challa's voice sounds less formal and stoic than I'm used to.

Also, where's Tony?

Could be copying Priest. His T'Challa was pretty stoic.

Tony could show up later in the issue or was something going on with Tony around the time this issue was originally supposed to be released

[BlackClaw]

I’ll wait for the actual issue but man it’s so weird for T’Challa to be so informal. “I live for this”? “Cap”?

It’s different from Coates at least. But yeah it feels like he’s writing T’Challa as if he were Jace Fox.

So long as T’Challa is written as competent, we’re good.

It's actually the same thing, tho. If I take the preview at face value, he lives for beating up bad guys as a superhero...

Tonally, the whole thing is just weird....

It was a thought bubble. He didn't say it out loud so I don't have a problem with it. Also he's giving orders.

That's a major step up from waiting for someone to tell him what to do.

This. The bar is in absolute hell lol. I can take some awkward dialogue.

T’Challa is shown leading from the front and for once he’s not self-loathing and full of regret. We see him relying on pure martial arts and not his tech while seeming confident and focused in his mission. Is the way that’s conveyed a bit too informal?

Sure, but all the elements I want out of an introductory BP story are there. I’d like at least one solo issue of him depicted as a hero before we see him go up against the big bad and sweat a bit. Plus it’s not like T’Challa doesn’t like being a hero, it’s been an established aspect of his personality for years that he does enjoy adventuring and exploring and would probably be happier if he didn’t have to worry about the throne. So it doesn’t bother me that he’s just enjoying the moment and fighting some monsters alongside his bros (and Doctor Strange lol).

I bet it's going to be announced that Letitia Wright will "quit" this movie due to her "injuries".

[Frontier]

I mean, if T'Challa's depicted in-character and competent I can probably live with his voice being "off," but it's still weird. Like I'm reading him in my normal T'Challa voice and it just sounds off.

Still a better T’Challa than whatever Coates was trying to sell us. Lmao.

This x 1000.

[Vanguard]

It’s TChalla, it looks interesting, I’m buying it. I can’t complain about three panels at this point.
