This franchise desperately needs a "Point Man" in these troubled times...
The main writer of the ongoing comic is living in France and rarely speaks good on the character nor interacts with fans to promote the product!
The lead actor is passed on and the runner up successor is not necessarily showing leadership skills on par for the main antagonist gig!
The fan base is divided over simple politics and religion for a character that you would think actively troubleshoots that in concept alone!
Remember back when THE most controversial thing about Black Panther was the actual name "Black Panther"
At this point I would question what exactly are the demographics for this intellectual property moving forward!
Are Black Panther fans themselves trying to drive potential customers away in hopes of keeping him exclusive to a certain segment of society... Xenophobia perhaps!
If a "Point Man" were to hold a press conference to promote this intellectual property what would be the selling point to bring in new fans with disposable income!
Will their voting records or social media accounts be used against them for expediency's sake?
If every time an actor or writer broke ranks and went rogue for any reason are they to be cast out and forsaken forever because of feelings!
It's interesting that a comic book that has historically circled the cancellation drain is now in the cancellation business itself...
See Wakanda and Die... Because you are not welcome if you don't agree to all of our policies and demands at all times no matter what!
