It’s just a super frustrating time to be a fan of this character. It’s really getting to a point where at times I wish the damn movie would’ve never been made if I had known all of this would happen. I’m just hoping Ridley can prove us all wrong.

That's a sign you need to walk away from comics and comic based movies for a few years. You're too heavily invested and taking it personally. After 'Siege' I didn't pay attention to comics until they announced the relaunch.

I agree. Don't let it mess with you like that. I think walking away is the best thing. I also recommend getting into more indie black comics if you aren't already.

I've largely stopped reading Marvel and DC (though I've picked up some of more recent Batman stuff, in part to see what was up with the black Batman), and I did subscribe for Ridley's BP run, the first time in years that I've done so.

Marvel has been undercutting T'Challa along with its other black superheroes basically since the moment of their creations. In many ways things have gotten better over the last 10-15 years, but still there's a lot of work to be done.

You gotta get in on those Milestone books those things are magical. And Miles Morales Spiderman is the one of the best long running black character books around.

I really hope Static’s book gets a different writer for the next volume, Vita is still trash as a writer and I am baffled at how she got the job

Again it’s not a misstep, just because they’re isolationist doesn’t mean they’re not keeping an eye out on what’s going on in the world and it’s known that the king has gone outside of the borders and like any dignitary would bring something back to show the rest of the team back home. Young T’Challa was may have been flipping channels on the satellite and may have come across Robin Hood Men In Tights, who knows but we do know that mixed in with that and his desire to explore beyond Wakanda. Which helped shape this T’Challa who after being told that Wakanda was destroyed he didn’t want anyone else to go through the loss he was going through hence the bringing families together and finding ways to save planets.

Except this T’Challa didn’t grow up in Wakanda he grew up in space so he kept the few things he learned from T’Chaka and mixed it with other things he admired as a pre-teen/teen kid, all he had physically left of Wakanda was literally his Panther chain. Which as he thought he was the last Wakandan alive that even The Collector thought as well he talked down Thanos, saved countless lives, was still a master strategist, was still humble and tried to get Thanos and Nebula into counseling while also clapping them blue cheeks.

Hell this T’Challa did more in thirty odd minutes than comic runs by McGregor/Thomas/Coates and wasn’t a sad sack or punching bag

The Robin Hood reference made sense given it is what he is to the cosmos and he was basically the heroic swashbuckler archetype, it’s the flip side of the Han Solo type scoundrel that Quill modeled himself after

Not surprised that the only other person Madder Coco than I am was the first to note this, lol. Well said, G.

It really would be nice if Marvel sopped acting like she’s the only black woman they have in comics

I really don't know much about this. Expound?

Just the general observation that any time Marvel in the comics whenever it’s time to feature black women it’s usually just Storm, it’s like it’s the only time the X-Office doesn’t throw a fit. Despite in the X-Men comics she’s usually referenced as being a mutant first, second, third, fourth and fifth while being a black character is sixth unless it’s time for the usual “X-Men are a stand in for racial minorities” and Storm is the token( unless it’s Marauders cause that’s why Bishop is there ). Which has caused Storm fans to get in their feelings when characters like Monica start getting shine and Storm’s dominance is perceived as being in trouble, it’s bleed over to whenever a black woman is cast in a MCU project and everyone is like “cool it’s Storm” and then when it’s not they sh*t on said actress( see current casting news for BP2 ).

It’s hilarious that Storm fans loved to pop off when the marriage first happened that T’Challa was a leech and Marvel used her to prop him up for greatness but now after a hit movie and her never being worth a damn in her own franchise for over two decades now she just has to be in his movie sequel cause “reasons” and she now stays in his comics.

I know Ridley is a continuity nerd but I’d really would love for her and all her mutant bs would be gone from his comic mythos.

I don’t agree with the decision to not recast to bench the character but it is what it is, I don’t have much enthusiasm for the sequel and I’ll have the feeling of “why bother” when the new comic series starts as T’Challa will never rise above the comic page
