Black Panther Appreciation: Wakanda Forever!

[robreedwrites]

As long as it's the "calm before the storm" type stuff, I'm fine with the interaction between T'Challa and Namor. These are men that are facing a problem so immense it's difficult to fathom, so it's nice to see that bring them together, even if it's just for a drink of Atlantean wine.

Also, after hearing Namor mention it, I really want to hear some Wakandan music.

And yes, Black Panther vs. Wayne is a must.

I'm ok with the no need for the herb, you take it as much as he did and some side effects would happen to either him or any eventual kids

[Omegastorm]

Hello Omegastorm.

Good to see you. :biggrin:

You aswell.

I still think we're going to see the Illuminati in some sort of dire situation and T'Challa is going to look at Namor and do the equivalent of this:

[Mr MajestiK]

When is the last time the Herb has even been mentioned? I cannot remember...

I think it was last mentioned when Shuri became the Black Panther but, I might be wrong.

[MindofShadow]

I still think we're going to see the Illuminati in some sort of dire situation and T'Challa is going to look at Namor and do the equivalent of this:

If Namor is "killed" by T'challa... I see it as a situation where he lets Namor die because he doesn't save him.

Something like Batman Begins. He just refuses to save him at some point and leaves him to die.

Or... leaving Namor on an Incursion Earth that is getting ready to be killed. T'challa has a chance to save him... tells him "I told you I would kill you" and leaves him. His death is assumed with the Earth is destroyed... but leaves a back avenue to bring Namor back by some comic book way some where down the line.

t'challa is not a hero.... he is a king

that being said.. i want him to be heroic. murder motivated my revenge, vengence... these sorts of emotions... not very heroic


im fine with him being the bigger man... the only problem is when you consider the "always" bieng the bigger man, taking the bump to get someone else over, always being jobbed out etc etc

as fans we want the big win for the battle boards etc etc

but for the sake of the character i like, judged soley on this story. i want t'challa to be the heroic figure in this.

We park our cars in the same garage. That is my take on the character as well.

today has beaten me down far to much..

.....cant muster the energy for joke about one of our wives "garages" and our "cars"


still got the rough draft out though

[MoneySpider]

Used to be T'Kyl. Now I'm not....? Anyway, T'Challa just didn't have time before the incursion alarm to break out the sacred herb.

Does he even need the sacred herb anymore? He's got King of the Dead powers! I'd say leave the sacred herb to Shuri.

[BlackStorm]

they need to use Shuri more

[ExcelsiorPrime]

Goes without saying..Welcome back Maj, and all wayward brothers and sisters of Wakanda

I used sacred herb as a euphemism for another type of herb.:rolleyes:
