Woman King looks like a much better and more powerful film than this abomination of a sequel.
I’m just confused on why this is even something that needs to questioned. Even at the earliest possible stage of development for a BLACK PANTHER game, you’d think that it would be clear as day T’Challa is the lead. Why such vague terminology like “the player” lol. This is like a Spider-Man game in development saying “the player will take on the role of a young man bitten by a radioactive spider fighting crime in NY”, it’s a bizarre way to frame things. Just say Peter, unless the idea is to adapt the concept behind Peter and apply it to someone else. Or a more apt comparison would be “the player takes on the role of a young Harlem kid who gets taken under the wing of Spider-Man and builds their own heroic legacy”. That’s a really convoluted way of just saying Miles lol.
And they confirmed it’s not a character creation so it seems like if the rumor is true, they’re developing a blank slate OC with a set story that players customize. Unless they’re not saying who the actual character is to not spoil the movies. Why do that rather than just telling a story about young T’Challa?
The whole thing is weird, it’s so weird that I have a hard time believing it’s that complicated so the story is really just about T’Challa lol. Because theoretically speaking, T’Challa can be customizable in-game and the story beats do match up with his comic origins.
Someone in the Namor thread said those figures will be out before the movie.
I do find it ODD Shuri nor Riri is in that toyline. It's not like we have NOT see art of them.
Not even the Panther suit we saw at the end of the trailer.
And Ross is just a repaint from the first line and they did NOT bother to update his bio.
Well for those who want them I hope they come before or by the movie's release. Riri and Shuri not being revealed is odd unless their reveal is being saved for some other kind of promotion, or maybe some higher-ups thought they'd be too spoilery. As for Ross Hasbro will use a mold for as long as possible.
Somewhere, a nerd cries. I feel nothing.
This says they are NOT important but Namor is.
A dead T'Challa in an old outfit is more important than them.
A Red shirt guard and repainted Okeye and Ross are more important than them.
Even if you put them in their comic related outfits would be fine because that is what the original Black Panther line did-have Namor and Black Bolt in their comic gear.
You wouldn't do this to Batman nor Peter Parker nor Miles nor the entire Justice League.
We have seen toys come out before the movie and spoil stuff galore.
Along with any books that are based on the movie. That come out before the movie.
Stuff is going to get spoiled if there is merchandise. That has to come out BEFORE this movie. Especially leading into Black Friday.
You can't really spoil who Namor, nor what the "Not-Atlanteans" look like, but you can spoil Shuri as the Black Panther and Riri as the suited IronHeart. Pretty sure that's all that's going on.
Who will don the mantle of the Black Panther will be, I'm assuming, a major plot point of the film, that they don't want to spoil via merch.
