When we had concern T'Challa was being pushed aside due to Boseman's death-we get a lecture.
Wakanda Forever comes out-we got lectured and told to grow up by folks who NEVER came here before.
Wakanda not making a billion-we got a lecture.
Folks claiming Panther's success was from OTHERS-we got a lecture.
Not liking Coates-we got a lecture.
Not liking Ridley's book-we got a lecture.
Same with Dr Ewing's run-a lecture.
A certain mutant being around this franchise-a lecture.
Now insert (blank) into some of those slots and not a lecture given.
Instead it's removals of Inhuman, Jason Rusch, probably Synch, Duke Thomas, Sam Alexander.
Instead it's acceptance to blame Nubia, Wallace West & Duke for the sales of books that they are NOT in.
Instead we got books being DOA before first issue.
Instead we got folks expecting Lein Wein, George Perez, Paul Ryan, Keith Griffin and others to come back from the other side to do book the way they like instead of giving new blood a fair shot. All these new other writers are NOT DEI or political leaning hires.
Not one Black Panther fan has ever resorted to that behavior. We focus on what is in the BOOK. Yet somehow doing that is wrong.
Not wanting T'Challa pushed aside for certain others is wrong? NOT when HISTORY has shown us that removing T'Challa doesn't help sales.
Shuri, Wakanda, Killmonger & The Crew were looking at at MOON GIRL on sales charts. Shuri still got AXED despite having better numbers than Runaways that lasted 2 more years.
Variants kept inflating order numbers. Miles Morales had bigger drops between variants than Panther but yet his book STAYED a top seller and never sniffed below 20K.
There is a REASON Ultimate Black Panther is selling it's NOT because of certain guest stars.
There is a reason T'Challa has more merchandise even during Wakanda Forever. That Coke can is the first new thing with Shuri as Panther since the movie.
