Back in MacKay's Avengers #7 -T'Challa summoned the Tiger God - awesome display of power, a really cool feat. It was within a nightmare, but you think he can use it the 'reality' of 616? Has he used in before? I'm recalling something back in Al Ewing's Mighty Avengers - maybe?
BTW: Given where Eve Ewing picked up T'Challa, after Ridley tried his best to ruin the character, Ewing is doing a good job of building the (hopefully future) King back-up. I really think our patience & support will pay off. I think it will take a few story arcs - but it will happen. The number of arcs required to get this done and done right, is an indictment on Ridleys 15 issue run not on Ewing IMHO.

Nah, it shouldn't take longer than a single 4-6 issue arc to fix what Ridley did. Priest fixed all the issues with T'Challa in the client. Hell Redjack dismantled alot of the BS Coates brought in with a single one shot. Ewing isn't doing a good job building up T'Challa, she is dragging her feat and people are going to lose interest before her arc is complete which will lead to a rushed unsatisfying ending. Patience isn't something BP writers of late are afforded anymore because they have abused it to oblivion. Either come out swinging of step aside
“The Wolverine&X-Men cartoon was more glaringly bad imo cause the set up allowed u to use more/different characters in different ways imo . How is ur cast/main more white than the previous cartoons that were almost 20 & 10 years older the new W&Xmen at the time. It’s laughable sad. Then when they added more members to the team they add even more white characters lol Don’t get me wrong I like the characters they add it but did the team need 2 more white folks to stand next to Storm. They have more Blue ppl & the POC lol.. An got away with the poor roster construction by having a lame version of Forge in the background & cause we using to teams like that.. No Jubilee , No Sunspot, No Armor, No Moonstar, No Proudstar bros & used the white version of Magma again lol. But Tildie Soames get spotlighted & more less set up to join the team lol.
The Avengers in the 90s cartoon was bad Imo but the roster was lil better. I still prefer EMH. I like the way Yost & his team write BP but has always have hated his Wakanda be it in comics/animation. They used a version that mostly pre 90s with a lil CJP miss it. It seem personal done imo where they can miss cast the place/ppl to be whatever needed by ignoring ( at the time the great setup & supporting cast). Usually painted the area more primitive & as a group with monolithic xenophobia. They also cud cut back on the Clint used but I understand why he was used. Plus put they should’ve use Falcon & Quake in more meaning way even if just in the supporting role. And Monica shudve been on the team/show from the start & not saved for 2nd season.

Thankfully, it might not be as bad as some of us had feared. Still, doesn't increase my interest in this book though, but it's something.
I liked Season 1 better than season two since Ewing started losing focus and trying to build up some cosmic avengers team. I honestly wish he stuck to the main OG catch line and ran with it. "The Ultimate team to take on Ultimate threats" solving/eliminating a problem before it got to earth, this was (at the time) the strongest team assembled with all heavy hitters in some form. We should've seen them completely able to go wild. BM didn't do that till Season 2 in a single panel against Ult Hulk for instance.
They should've been universe trotting, preventing wars from breaking out between alien races, stopping cosmic beings from wreaking havoc, going to different dimensions etc. basically like Hudlins and McDuffies BP/ FF arcs where T'Challa and Storm temporarily lead the FF, that but on a much grander scale. Then have a 6th rotating roster for othr heavy hitters like Thor, Strange, etc. and we could've really had a home run new series that was different from Avengers, Uncanny Avengers, heroes for hire, X men, etc.
It truly had potential to be it's own brand, unfortunately it got sidetracked
I don't know the character much, but from what I hear this appears to be in-character for Monet.
A very "Punch first, ask questions from their shattered skull later" type of character.
What happened to Ewing's Ultimates sag was a Goddamn tragedy, constantly sidetracked by events like Civil War 2 and Secret Empire, it never could reach its fully potential because it was constantly mired in annoyed unneeded crossovers and then relaunched.
They couldn't just leave the book alone.
I absolutely get your point...
I think (and hope) Ewing's plan is:
- Reinvigorate the "common" people's love, loyality, and admiration for T'Challa
- Take T'Challa "on the road" through Wakanda fixing local issues
- Resulting a grass roots and country-wide acknowledgement of his value to Wakanda - as a Man
- The current government proves to be "Bad"
- The current government is unable to protect the people from some MAJOR threat.
- T'Challa the Man saves them
- T'Challa the Man, is called upon to be T'Challa, the Black Panther - The King
T'Challa - will go on to be the Greatest King in Wakanda's history - because he is Super Smart, Kicks A$$ on an international and cosmic level, and he also has a pulse on his people's needs (both other royals and commoners).
That what I am being patient for.
