The editor of “Tales From Wakanda” lays it out beautifully on recast T’Challa and the anchor even says it’s probably what Chadwick would’ve wanted.
T'Challa
A.K.A. The Black Panther
King of Wakanda
King of the Dead and The Champion of Bast
Two-Time Time Magazine "Person Of The Year"
Six-Time People Magazine "Sexiest Man Alive"
I don't know why more artists wouldn't want to draw BP. His design is simple but so much can be done with it.
Yeah, that has been page one of the memorable villain playbook since the Fox X-Men movies.
The First Class movies are basically what you get when you REALLY want to make your villains the heroes but you can't say so outright.
At least the change to Erik's backstory makes the character actually make SOME sense.
It's still "I somehow hate this dude for what his pops did to my pops when we were both five". But with Erik being a royal heir, at least NOW the audience gets (or you would hope so, lol) that Erik is/was full of it all along and just wants the throne he thinks he was screwed out of.
Got damn this movie hurt you.
Killmonger had TWENTY TWO MINS of screen time. Marvel villains were viewed as mostly shit up until then.
I'd argue we needed one or two more extended scenes of T'Challa and Killmonger just conversating. As great of a character he was in the movie HE WAS NOT THANOS. The movie didnt revolve around him. Its why he's not as quotable.
Speaking of Marvel (or MCU) villains who were mostly s***, about the only one I thought could somewhat compete with Killmonger in terms of (semi-)justified and valid grievances until the Black Panther movie was Zemo in Captain America: Civil War (where MCU Black Panther made his debut as well). There aren't many people who wouldn't be pissed off at the heroes whose recklessness and arrogance resulted in the creation of a murderous synthetic lifeform that laid waste to their country and had their families and/or loved ones among innumerable innocent casualties, and then couldn't be bothered to stick around to at least clean up their own mess. Granted, bombing the UN and killing even more innocent people --- T'Chaka among them --- just to set the Avengers against each other was far from the best or most morally sound way to settle that particular grievance, but as a man grieving for his dead loved ones and wanting some form of recompense for how they died in the first place, it was bare minimum understandable.
The spider is always on the hunt.
Yeah, a lot of villains have a point/goal you can understand or sympathize with in some way.. It's just how they go about trying to accomplish those goals and motives that make them villains.
Doom wants to make the world a better place. As long as he's the one ruling it and he'll kill/use/crush anyone to do it.
Magneto wants to make the world safer for mutants. And he'll kill any human and/or mutant to make it happen.
But Michael B Jordan thinks that. He's out there doing interviews about how he wasn't truly a villain he "just had a different way of going about it than T'Challa" and hiw Killmonger loves his ppl just as much as T'Challa.
Same character that shot a chick, choked a chick, killed an elder, then slit a chicks throat lol

"Is this your king"
"Bury me in the ocean..."
I can assure you I'm not hurt about a black panther Solo movie Becoming the most popular concept in Marvel Cinema.
Hurt would be levying personal attacks because someone's opinion didn't line up with my own perfectly
I'm merely posting what some reviews said and according to Forbes one was much more quotable than the other
