YIBAMBE! T’Challa: The Black Panther Appreciation 2022

[BlackClaw]

I would stay away from drugs all together and focus more on things like defense. Rogue Wakandans wanting to see defense technology to places like the giant shield surrounding Wakanda or the exploding gun tech. "How much are you willingly to pay for the safety of your nation?" And while the idea itself seems good, the ulterior motive is to use it to spy on other nations and having a way to quickly bypass defense if they threaten Wakanda or to turn it against them completely.

Use say the shield to keep the citizens of the nation trapped in that than keeping invaders out. Or using the exploding gun tech to completely neutralize an entire nations military force without firing a singles shot or bullet.

Basically I would make this group like the shitty spy program Ridley made but larger scale, actually competent and posing a REAL threat that ultimately they are hyper nationalist who ultimately want to protect Wakanda but doing so in the wrong way. Could even be revealed that Hunter has a hand in this group

I always thought it would be interesting if Solomon caused trouble in the savage land. Especially since they have vibranium over there.

I still haven't seen this. Do you know where I can watch it?

Maybe it's on D+? I will say BPQ is still Damn good though. Redjack proved time and time again he should be writing the Solo

Yes it's still on Disney plus as Avengers Assemble season 5.

Buried under rubbish so Disney could save a buck instead of it being its own series

[Redjack]

I think it's all fake.

Aside from one youtube saying its fake there is no info on this.

it's a fan pitch.

it's freaking awesome.

and he clearly watched BPQ

Sounds suspiciously similar to War for Wakanda. Attached it to a failing game instead of making it its own series

[Chesterfield]

Thanks for the heads up on where to get a hold of Panther Quest.

Speaking of BPQ it’s time to rewatch it and the first half of season 4 of AA since we’re not likely to get good T’Challa content for years and I’ll rewatch the WitBP adaptation too

And I always wanted to ask Redjack what storylines he would’ve tackled if BPQ was it’s own show

T'Challa would have gone Walkabout, leaving SHURI as Queen. In his travels he would come across some very interesting foes, new and old, some tied to Wakanda's distant past.

We would have explained how and why Zanda has superpowers (yes, she dies in season "1." No, it doesn't stick because of reasons.) And I would have set her up as one of two love interests for T'Challa. No storm. No mutants. None of that.

Moses Magnum would have been brought in as well as Slay (re-imagined Madam Slay), both redesigned and updated in a rebuilt Shadow Council. M'Baku would be back and Kalu would have finally been Kirby-ized into the red guy from the comics.

Shuri and Wakanda would have ended up on opposite sides to T'Challa over a BIGGGGGGGG secret from Wakanda's past.

No more Avengers guest-starring in favor of members of the Defenders (including Cage and Misty Knight) stepping up for support hero roles.

These were part of my plans. Who knows if MARVEL would have let me do any of it? Based on what's come about since then, I'm betting they wouldn't have.

Ah well.

You know, sense marvel seems so keen on kicking T'Challa out of Wakanda, this idea seems like it would work pretty well. T'Challa is on a walkabout, gets development, they can do however many failed Wakanda spin offs, then when they pull their heads out of the sand T'Challa can make his triumphant return, during all that time still shining and staying relevant and powerful. Seems like a win win to me

As noted the general concept of T'Challa being out of Wakanda isn't by itself an issue, its the execution.

If he chose to abdicate the throne or whatever and leaves it to Shuri to travel the world and protect all manner of people that would be fine.

But the way they've done it here is to actively strip him of whatever dignity he has. Over in Aquaman Arthur is allowed to respectfully give up the throne and happy to leave it in the hands of the people as he spends time with his family. Meanwhile T'Challa is actively denied any sort of honor or respect in his actions and is left a life devoid of any sort of personal joy or happiness.

FUNNY you should say that...

"With the holidays, it has been a crazy time. Yoda took the top spot. Robynn Hood from Zenescope broke into the top ten due to some great cover art. Midnight Suns 3 did great. People still love reprints. The reprint of Black Panther's first appearance in Fantastic Four 52 would have easily made the top ten had I ordered more. Why did I not do that to begin with? In-store sadly Black Panther's various titles and spin-offs do terrible, even with the recent movie. New comics, here in store at least, have seen a drop overall sales-wise. My thanks to Rich for running the best-selling list for years and letting me be a part of it. Who knows? Maybe in the future, once it is missed, maybe there will be more people wanting to send in their top lists and more people wanting to read them." – Rodman Comics

Nice article about recasting being the right move

Yeah we haven't seen T'Challa genuinely happy since Hudlins run... 14 year's ago...

Wow. First article to point out that Shuri’s time as BP wasn’t this groundbreaking big deal that others been trying to claim and that it didn’t last long. Also the first and probably only article to properly call out the fact that Chadwick’s death was used to sell the movie.

I wasn’t a fan of the Hudlin era but I’ll take him back in a heartbeat. He liked T’Challa and his T’Challa got to do cool stuff.



So we got 14 years since the last time T’Challa was happy and 10 years since the last good series ended.
