T'Challa
A.K.A. The Black Panther
King of Wakanda
King of the Dead and The Champion of Bast
Two-Time Time Magazine "Person Of The Year"
Six-Time People Magazine "Sexiest Man Alive"
What? That check list has never, I repeat, NEVER happened in an origin movie where the audience hasn't had a chance to even give a damn about the protagonist yet. Until now. Are you scared that a fully realized T'Challa would come off as a Mary sue? Well he was vanilla and vulnerable and that didn't make him compelling at all. Coogler's T'Challa is trash and embarrassing. Coates is the lesser of two evils.

Interested in reading Daredevil? Not sure what to read next? Why not check out the Daredevil Book Club for some ideas?
given his track record, and the solicit he wakes up on a strange world with amnesia, there are mines and a rebellion brewing.. hmm maybe Coates has changed his tune? Likely not. Writers don't usually go from making the protagonist need his hand held for everything by his cast and giving away feats, to suddenly having feats upon feats, like a light switch in their head
It is really understandable.
Some copy guy is given a plot summary of a multipart story and has to break that down into an exciting paragraph.
Mistakes are gonna be made, even leaving aside that typical exaggerating that comics always do in solicits.
But you can't say stuff like "Captain America faces Hydra yet again and there's nothing different about it at all!"
Him appearing in civil war and being a standout in that movie dampened the blow of being a plot device in killmonger the movie but it could have been much worse if it was the first time seeing T'Challa and for or a lot of people who don't watch every marvel movie it actually was the first time seeing him.
I don't remember what happened in thor but it never happened to Tony in ironman 1. Tony wasn't spending the majority of his movie listening to his supporting cast give speeches. They instead built up ironman as a person and he had excellent dialogue. Ironman wasn't given underwhelming action setpieces compared to his supporting cast.
The severity of the ass beating T'Challa received in killmonger the movie, is usually reserved for sequels. What Coogler did was put the cart before the horse. Imagine if bane broke batman in the very first ever batman movie. Its an idiotic move if you're looking to build a franchise off the character.
I guarantee you they will not pull that nonsense with captain marvel.
