It's an evolution from Hickman Panther, I'll give you that, but he is far from Priest or Hudlin Panther. I hope Coates delivers him to a place that we all could be satisfied with, but he ain't there yet. Inscrutable, cards to the vest T'Challa, knowing Ramonda would recover from her wounds, should have been all business in dispatching these goons who weren't even the master-minds behind the plot. Giving out free chin checks, naw that ain't T'Challa and you know that for real.
In Reg's WITBP, Klaw took Ramonda hostage and told T'Challa to kill himself. T'Challa didn't blink in telling him to F#€£ off and promising to kill him, a promise he promptly kept. Ramonda would not even have T'Challa as King playing the role of avenging soldier, let alone a reckless one. You know.
Peace,
