YIBAMBE! T’Challa: The Black Panther Appreciation 2022

What we expected to happen in the new Avengers issue happened because of what's happening in the solo. Ridley is going to have to step up his game now. Avengers was the only book delivering on good T'Challa content while Ridley's T'Challa has underwhelmed so far in showings.

You’re right. And I’m not expecting much from Ridley. I for the most part really liked Aaron’s work on TChalla.

What BS are they pulling, exactly? Not moving heaven and Earth to make sure the Black Panther stays male? Chadwick died. When monarchs die, their siblings inherit their titles...predicting that Marvel will remove T'Challa from the books doesn't even make sense. Did Stark and Rogers get removed from comics after Endgame? Why on Earth would you wish for a film franchise that means so much to people, to Black people especially, to fail?

To Ensure that T'Challas story is told to completion. CHADWICK died, not T'Challa. Chadwick is not T'Challa. There is more to Chadwick than just his role as T'Challa in Black Panther.

He has played other Amazing roles and to remove T'Challa from his own franchise, a franchise that has existed for 50+ years with real life social and historical relevance attached to it in favor of a character who has existed for just over 17 years and doesn't even have ANY relevance attached to her other than literally copying T'Challa is ridiculous at this stage. Sure when his story is told to completion, he has his trilogy and all his avengers showings, Shuri can develop into the role in the MCU, but doing it now is so incredibly dumb and just proves that Disney and marvel just spout whatever bullisht and shows what they think of black characters.

I think you mistake something. When those characters movies dropped there were big pushes to make them relevant and they were pushed to the forefront, starring in games and other media and having events in comics focused around them.

T'Challa literally up until spiderman was the biggest Solo hero of all time from his FIRST movie. First Marvel movie to win an Oscar, first marvel movie to hit 700 million domestic. And started a cultural zeitgeist. What did marvel do with all that? F**k all with it. No events, no games, hired a neophyte writer who westernize Wakanda and used damn near every racial stereotype about Africa and black people, onto Wakanda and then used Wakanda as a allegory for western civilizations as well.

Now there is a very real possibility that this character is going to be written out fo his own franchise because Chad passed, they have already acted as though he doesn't exist post endgame and they are saying they are going to honor Chad by not recasting.

Even though the man said he wants people to see the character and not the actor and he wants BP to outlive all of us and they are claiming they aren't going to be exploitative over Chad's passing yet everything that is said about the movie from the cast and producer's points to that.

So why would I want it to fail? Because the angle they are going with, from what they say about the movie to feigis retrofitting that black panther was always about Wakanda and it's "Just a mantle" is all bullshit to basically say "We can replace a black character with anyone and people will stop but it, so why should we care? They're interchangeable"

[Ezyo1000]

This is the system we already had. T'Challa was a warrior-shaman king and the Tribal Council was a strong check on his authority as an advisory and administrative body. Nothing was wrong with the Wakandan government. They just got their asses beat by Doom, Namor, and the Black Order back to back so Coates had them torch the entire system like the previous 10,000 years didn't happen. Like T'Challa hadn't been a rather competent leader for roughly a decade prior.

The point of the democracy is exactly like Marvel2100 said a few pages back, decentralize the narrative to shift the focus to more side characters and factions that writers can inject with OCs. And its weird because they could've done that without a democracy but I guess it's easier this way and more in line with the virtue signaling Marvel loves to do with the franchise.

He wants even Long when these things happened either. So wouldn't it just reaffirm that T'Challa is THE GUY and was correctly chosen by bast to lead Wakanda? Plus how ya know, he saved the 616 and this, saved Wakanda?

You know... Even IF Ridley all of a sudden switched into awesome mode, this is still a terrible thing to happen. Why can't he just have a good presence all around? I don't want to go through another 5 years of purgatory of the BP franchise with no reprieve elsewhere to give us good showings. That isht sucks bad

[MindofShadow]

Ridley Panther better fight (and beat) some Avengers to make this worth it. some Pantherjack style stuff.

It is weird that NOW marvel decides that what happens in BP solo actually affects everything else when Coates went 6 years being able to do what he wants with little to no consequences outside the book

Spoilers please?

This all better culminate in a BP event because I'm not seeing why T'challa's solo has such a severe bearing on his wider MU appearances.

I couldn’t agree more.

From the new Marvel RPG card game

Type options included genius and polymath but they went with Striker and the only reference to his intelligence is that he quote speaks perfect English.

Thanks MCU.

spoilers:

Hunter appears at the end of the issue. It seems like he'll be an antagonist in Sam's book and he seems to imply that he is indeed behind the coup in Wakanda.

Thanks. I’m interested in stuff like this even though I don’t play video games anymore.

So...Chadwick's brother should become Black Panther then?

T'Challa did not die. The actor playing T'Challa passed away and we all grieved and gave him his proper due. The only thing that people in this thread have been saying for the longest time despite accusations of misogyny, being an echo-chamber etc., is that we want the role of T'Challa to be recast. It's that simple.

As much as we all loved Chadwick, his death should have no impact on T'Challa being in the MCU.

spoilers:

Tochi is really angling to write the next Black Panther solo I see. Legends was painfully average and splitting Ridley’s story across multiple books is stupid but hope it works out for him.
