YIBAMBE! T’Challa: The Black Panther Appreciation 2022

[Besouro]

They sure make it work in the X-books with their uber-powerful, omega level mutants.

Sing ding ding
...damn good point!!!!

[Besouro]

I'm going to be that guy.

"Yeah, the Mutants did a nice job with it" doesn't really sound like something T'Challa would say. At least in those words.

Agreed.... Ridley's dialogue for BP is painfully off-putting

At this point I think the recurring editor is to blame for allowing such bad $#!?.... ..without at least trying to guide the writer on the foundational characterisation of the character being written.

[Besouro]

Right now it can NOT tell the difference between Jace Fox/ Black Batman and Tchalla/BP.....dialogue style and speech pattern are almost exactly the same.

[Klaue's Mixtape]

As I said I am reserving until it's confirmed by marvel and not by some random ass tweet

Lol this is as real as the not recast rumors. Better to take it serious now and raise hell before its too late. The guy is/was literally on set for both movies in Atlanta. He only responded cause the scoopers been saying it for weeks.

[Besouro]

Gillis’s story was clean, tracked well and Cowan’s art leaped off the shelf. The only thing I’d change would be to rename, re-outfit and update the ‘Supremacists’.

Keep the SUPREMACISTS name..... it's perfectly fitting for a villain team.

Other than that I agree with the rest of what u said.

[Besouro]

Avengers: Black Panther's Quest was (arguably) the best season of Avengers Assemble, and the showrunner and head writer (I think) was none other than Geoffrey Thorne, who sometimes posts in here under the name "Redjack." The animation might not have necessarily been the best, but the depiction of Black Panther/T'Challa, the character, along with his allies, rivals, and foes, even if filtered through the lens of being nominally an Avengers series, was pretty well-done, to say the least.

Currently Redjack/ Geoffrey Thorne is writing Green Lantern at DC....it's a must read to see the amazeballs he is doing in that book. Brilliance indeed!!!!

Cohesive, complete story with a beginning, middle, end in 4 issues. Even managed to explore wakanda politics in more depth.

In. 4. Issues.

Abso- freaking- lutely¡!!!

If the son BS is true, then I can could see them naming him T’Challa as some sort of backhanded way of them saying “see T’Challa is still part of the MCU!”

Ugh.

Laughs in Nick Fury Jr.

[Besouro]

Issue 3 is the moment of truth.

I’ve got the Redjack banners prepped just in case

And Brandon Thomas....another name I throw into the ring to write BP.

A concept: A variant of T’Challa comes to the main universe in BP3 is an adaptation of IGEW with Ultron Killmonger as the villain. Killmonger kills jr which becomes the franchise’s Jason Todd moment, leading to Nakia going insane and becoming Malice for future films.

I expected better more intriguing plot......but it's yet another tear down Tchalla type thing. Uuurrgh!!!!

And the dialogue is terribly odd written for Tchalla.

And what is this best friend of Tchalla we have never seen or heard of?

yea I was curious how those who didn't like Coates tchalla would like this as it does read similar in that this is focusing heavily on his flaws and missteps and him trying to atone or repair those errors.

Probably because T’Challa is written more along the lines of how he behaves in Priest and Hudlins runs rather than the mopey sad sack that he was in Coates run.

[MindofShadow]

It literally explained why we never heard of him before.

He's been deep undercover for years.

Tchalla kicks butt instead of acting all depressed ..

This is a very basic concept that is very hard to understand when your main motivation is vindicating every single creative choice a writer makes. Literally no one complained that Coates wrote T’Challa with flaws, the same way literally no one complained when Priest and others did it.

What people did complain about, and what has often been discussed in this thread is the ways in which those flaws were depicted, what they ultimately were meant to say about T’Challa/Wakanda, and how he eventually overcame them. Anyone that argues Coates handled the exploration of T’Challa’s flaws like Ridley, Priest and those that came before him simply hasn’t read the books.

*coghKirbycough*

Kirby’s run was the most fun though lol. It was balls to the wall chaos every issue and it made T’Challa feel like he was more like Thor traveling the cosmos than the king of a human nation. Just some absolutely nonsensical stories that all fit together surprisingly well. Kirby’s dialogue could be weak at times though, no denying that.

I wish a lot of the characters and concepts he introduced get reintroduced and revamped one day, which we may see based on Ridley’s preview.
