This is why the Coates' era and Ridley's epilogue, when critiqued in the near future, will be seen as the nadir of Black Panther comic books in the modern age. With the exception of Aaron's Black Panther in Avengers Coates has infected just about every iteration of the Black Panther no matter who takes the helm as writer. The good news is based on the upcoming previews Ridley shouldn't be around much longer.
Back to the poorly and inaccurately described rematch of the century. Black Panther vs Captain Falcon. There's only one Captain America and his his name is Steve Rogers.
But to let Sam tell it...

Do this... all damn day... with T'Challa? Surely you jest Mr. Wilson.




All this passing of the mantle be damned, that goes in perpetuity for T'Challa. The Falcon is tops for Sam.
These previews speak volumes at how they are jobbering T'Challa the Black Panther. What's next, an avian assault that shreds the Black Panther's habit enough for Sam to knock T'Challa out with a punch while explaining the Wakandan flock under his influence had their talons enriched by vibranium for generations. Yea, it can get that stupid. Remember the Black Panther for all intents and purposes is still mired in the Coatesverse.
Could you imagine if Sam was fighting Steve?
This? Is IMMENSELY STUPID AND DISRESPECTFUL. Sam wouldn't be stupid and disrespectful towards T'Challa, and T'Challa wouldn't deal with Sam himself, under these circumstances...unless it was via tech comm as relayed directly by a squadron of Hatut Zeraze as they surrounded Sam. If Sam got sparky? ZAP!! Transporter beam from one of Wakanda's lower priority suborbital satellites instantly removes Sam from Wakanda and deposits him safe and sound back on the block of his apartment...back in New York. Easy money. Even if Sam was tangling with the Hatut Zeraze? ZAP!! Same beam transports all of them to Sam's block, Hatut Zeraze activates teleporter to nearest Wakandan XFZ [ exfil zone ] and ZAP the Hatut Zeraze are back in Wakanda. Just like that.
Stop. It. Ridley.
Sam should hotbox with Silver Sable, The Winter Guard, or somebody like that. If it HAS TO BE Sam examining the whole movement back to The Motherland and Wakanda specifically? This plot should involve Moses Magnum getting nefarious, and feature Sam, Ridley's new character whateverhisnameis, and have KASPER COLE AS THE AMERICAN PANTHER OR DUMA FEDHA..."SILVER CHEETAH"...THE CORRECT NAME FOR THE TITLE OF THE BLACK PANTHER SPIRITUAL SYSTEM MISCALLED "WHITE TIGER" FOR THE LONGEST TIME as the stand in for T'Challa.
And oh yeah. Howazabout showing that Moses is in league with Makabaru Bwana ya Hofu...Makabaru Lord of Fear, miscalled by The West by the name of BARON MACABRE [ the West mispronounced his name "MAKABARU" as "MACABRE" ]...with a heavy upgrade to his power and a distinctly horrific slant to his plans. Like bringing we Afrakans in the "diaspora" back to the Motherland only to get our souls harvested by Makabaru in order to enhance his power, and simultaneously besmear Wakanda's name with a true and legit international horror story incident which would spark hostile relations with the USA, NAFTA and The Western Powers of Europe. And then? We could see Kasper and Sam team up with Zawaviri and an elite squadron of the HZ..."Izimpisi Zethunzi", the "Shadow Wolves"... to take down Moses, Makabaru and the army of undead including the horrifying Obayifo...Vampire/Witches of Alkebulan folklore that I first ran across in tales from Ghana. This Obayifo part alone? Could show that Wakanda has loooong had ultra elite vampire and undead destroyers who are warriors, sorcerors, wizards, witches, seers, etc in The Shadow Wolves and the long awaited return of The Midnight Angels. No BLADE or DR. VOODOO needed [ especially with Mendinao and shady Zawaviri hanging around ]. T'Challa...the one, true Black Panther...has an incredible Rogues' Gallery. Delve into them, enhance them, and unleash them.
See? I did that in only a few seconds. And I'm not even getting paid by Marvel to tank T'Challa.
Stop. It. Ridley.
