Amazon Video has both episodes for $1.99 each for Standard Definition. Loved the second episode too. Has a Spectacuar Spider-Man feel to the action.

Only was able to watch the first episode so far but maaaaan Redjack wasn't playing around. This is going to be a fun season. Tchalla looking like the complete boss that he is taking on threats worthy of his level and not being dumbed down.. I will be catching part two soon. But so far REDJACK!!!
I altered the time space continuum and watched episode #3... It was meh!
I didn't like how Doom kicked both T'challa's and Shuri's butt and then they both gave some pyrrhic victory speech about "keep hope alive" and "can't we all just get along" and whatnot!
Storm was featured and she only held T'challa's hand publicly but kissed Wolverine passionately in the alley behind the Wakandan embassy!
Wakanda was flooded by Namor so Nakia, Okoye and M'baku drowned leaving only T'challa and Shuri as the last remaining citizens of a once great nation!
Oh yeah... For some reason various villains from other characters rogues galleries kept dragging T'challa through the mud for no apparent reason and in random intervals! (weird)
Burbank.
Disney Studios.
Mickey "Money" Mouse sits livid staring at the wall shaking his head as Bob Iger paces back and forth visibly upset.
Mickey "Money" Mouse: "BOB... What's my name???"
Bob Iger: "Mickey 'Money' Mouse!"
Mickey "Money" Mouse: "MONEY... That's what I'm about my papers! What happens when you mess with my papers?"
Bob Iger: "You get angry."
Mickey "Money" Mouse: "And like the Hulk you won't like me when I get angry!"
Mickey turns and looks dead at the individual most responsible for his upsetedness' seated across his desk from him.
Mickey "Money" Mouse: "So let me see if I get this straight... You posed as Redjack giving you access to the Black Panther cartoon and rewrote episode #3 is that correct!"
TNC: "I just wanted to contribute and help out."
Mickey "Money" Mouse: "BOB... Yo boy is getting on my nerves here I can't keep dude on salary with all these cancellations and drops in sales! What's my name again???"
Bob Iger: "Mickey 'Money' Mouse!"
Mickey "Money" Mouse: "MONEY... Say it louder!"
Bob Iger: "MONEY!"
Mickey "Money" Mouse: "With that said effective immediately I'm placing Redjack as the official 'Point Man' of all things Black Panther... Goofy, send Redjack in here!"
Redjack enters the office with Goofy right behind him with his hand in his pocket like he holding something.
Mickey waves off Goofy who releases his hand from his pocket and relaxes.
Redjack: "Mickey I swear I don't know what happened with episode #3 I did not write that!"
Mickey "Money" Mouse: "It's all good you were sabotaged and we will fix that... But anyway you are my guy going forward on Black Panther just keep doing what you are doing now what's my name?"
Redjack: "Uhm Money..."
Mickey "Money" Mouse: "That's right keep bringing me my paper and we good!"
TNC: "Am I still..."
Mickey "Money" Mouse: "Goofy, escort this man off the premises!"
Goofy reaches back into his pocket and glances at mickey waiting for confirmation.
Mickey "Money" Mouse: "Naw, not in front of the kids we are family company!"
No problem.
There were two things from the end of Episode 2 that I didn't put in the review due to spoilers (and I'm going to spoiler tag it here) but
spoilers:end of spoilers
I really appreciated the way you handled Cap and Iron Man backing T'Challa's decision with Attuma. Cap taking his hand away and Iron Man saying the Avengers would back T'Challa. It's been awhile since I've seen that type of validation with the character. And then later, you had me fooled. I thought we were still getting "forgive and forget" T'Challa, and then you have him reveal his true thoughts to Shuri, and man I missed this guy.
Marvel offered it to Newsarama and then my editors put out the call to the writers. I try to keep a look out for Black Panther related stuff; I figure I can try to provide insight on the material, but I also try to balance things out so that the review is still viable for the general comic/superhero enthusiast.
I watched the first few episodes of the first season and checked out for awhile (I was honestly still angry about Earth's Mightiest Heroes being cancelled) and then peeked in a bit when the Black Order was introduced and then again when Panther debuted. I ended up watching clips and reading Wiki summaries on the past episodes before the review just to try to familiarize myself a bit more.
As always Flex, you make this thread a joy to read. I hope Disney is actually doing this.
None that I can think of, but man, Joshua is a powerhouse. I hope he faces the winner of Wilder-Fury next year so that we can finally have an undisputed heavyweight (to go with Usyk at cruiserweight, assuming he gets past Bellew later this year).
To my knowledge, the "Golden Jaguar" moniker was never used in any official capacity or in interviews by the production team. Even the Concept Art book makes no reference to jaguars and explicitly ties the design to leopards (and Preyy in particular, IIRC). I want to say it was just some fan name or a journalist thinking a fan name was official and then it spread like wildfire.
I thought it came from Merchandise but I just tried searching for it and found nothing official.Originally Posted by rob

Redjack, sooner or later, I'd be curious to think why you thought some hardcore fans wouldn't like your take on Black Panther?
Obviously, it is early in the season for this show but its... rather on point IMO lol.
(I'm also assuming you would have had a similar approach in the comics but I could be assuming too much)

I want you guys to understand that these first two episodes were written the way they were because I didn't want to JOLT the existing audience too much. Episode One is my version of a "normal" avengers episode. A prolog, really. Episode 2 is really the first episode of Black Panther's Quest. If you appreciated how T'Challa's depicted here, get ready. My guiding lights on this series were Stan and Jack and Priest. I'm not being hyperbolic when i say this season is nothing like what people are expecting. So far ALL speculations about upcoming plot twists are WILDLY off the mark. We're bringing heat. I promise you. Real heat.
I honestly couldn't believe all the stuff Marvel let me roll with. Consider these first two episodes a sketch of what's coming.

Honest answer? the way I approach my blackness doesn't always line up with how the twitter heads and so-called afrocentrics would like. I'm hardcore for fairness. I'm hardcore for racial justice. Black Supremacy? That gets the foot. So, when i write something like BP, I'm always concerned that there will be some sort of backlash because of politics.
I don't personally care about the politics but I'm always concerned that someone will think i set out do do something i didn't or set out to please some folks i didn't.
I set out to write the best stories I can, as I define "best."
The internet tries to makes fights out of differences between writers or approaches. If I do something Coates didn't, people will try to make it out like I'm commenting on him. If i do something different than Cogler, the same. The truth is, I don't care what they do, good or bad. I'm doing the show I want to do, the best way I can. That's why i keep reminding folks we had zero contact with the movie and no interest (from me or Marvel) in duplicating the current comic. Nothing against the comic. It's just too dark for the venue. And, also, that would be me co-signing somebody else's thing instead of doing my own thing.
I do my own thing.
A lot of modern fans don't like that attitude so i try to get out in front of backlash.

Other than the fabulous Reginald Hudlin...
There has not been a writer on Black Panther that has openly and honestly engaged the fanbase like Redjack has and also delivered the goods! (shout out to Liss though)
For that I hereby claim that you are bestowed a pass just in case episode #5 or even #8 really sucks so your credit thus far is good enough to have a few missteps!
A writer does not have to be perfect and can make some mistakes just don't be blatant with it and dismissive to the fans for the sake of a whole other agenda!
Here are my thoughts.
What a writer does in their story does not have to line up exactly with how my head Cannon thinks it should go. HOWEVER, of your going to write the Character, write the damn Character IN Character. Nothing is worse then reading the title Character acting out of character and doing things they would never do because PLOT and AGENDA need to steer in a direction that otherwise the character would never take.
What I mean is Coates S1 could of been so much better while keeping the same plot (Tetu and Zenzi starting rebellions Wakanda in chaos, MA wanting a place of their own) had Tchalla acted like he wasn't a brand new green nose rookie, and Zenzi and Tetu actually coming off as powerful threats that didn't rely on b obvious plot holes and nerfing of the character to make then seem threatening.
So back to what your doing. Based on what I have seen,
Very few long time/dedicated fans would find issue with what your doing. Honestly it's s damn breathe of fresh air and I look forward to this getting even crazier
