Lol...poor Black Dwarf. You didn't even get the dignity of being beat on panel.
For when my rants on the forums just aren’t enough: https://thevindicativevordan.tumblr.com/
It's all about set up. And I would save it for bigger threats of multiple opponents. Goon slame Gary's don't need to be force pushed because it WILL kill them. Cap and others could survive it but they are going to be HURTIN. Black dwarf, Namor etc. Will be each Force punches and kicks for sure. And how JA had T'Challa using it to increase his speed is EXACTLY the type of creative thinking people should be using. Same with how RJ used it. Coates only once used it in a creative way in T'Challas fight against stane where he transferred it through the floor to knock him into the air. That's creative use of it. All the examples above are how it should be used by all writers including Ridley as well as other unique ways.
My position on Panther's loadout has not changed: Less is more.
It's the overreliance on pulling out fancy gadgets that lead to the idea that T'Challa's intellect is tech-based.
Ja has had him use it plenty through out his run. It's a tool that gives him a consistent way to fight above his weight class that scales depending on the opponent, the stronger they are the more damage he can dish back. But it just like the habit, why dodge when it absorbed energy anyways?
Coates showed us the wrong Way to use it. RJ, JA, everywhere else in the 616, and the MCU has shown the right way to use it. Don't use things in excess and it's never a problem.
Like I said though, no one outside of a BP solo or one-shot is using the farce push. And I think some aspects that we're attributing to the farce push actually started with Priest, energy daggers for example. They can be configurated into any form the Panther wants to use, sword, dagger, staff, etc.. That's a more impressive offensive weapon to me than the fp and has far greater range.
Hickman got BP
