That’s so lame and so reductive. You base all your decisions on the people you hang with?
Ava DuVernay On Black Panther Meeting "It really wasn't going to be an Ava DuVernay film"
- Thread starter Brandeezy
- Start date
Wait, what movie did she have an interracial relationship? She had black love in Middle of Nowhere, I Will Follow, and obviously Selma. I'd understand if we were talking about Shonda...

It's the opposite. The person saying Ava would have depicted Shuri with Ross didn't put a lot of thought into it because it's obvious from Ava's record, she wouldn't do that.

u right my dude

So he uses one of my favorite X-Men to emasculate him?And I'm sorry to T'Challa/Orora Hive; the idea of them being married makes no sense.
Maybe in a future timeline when Storm is too old to be an X-Men, but, it's goofy as hell, now.
And by the sounds of it; Coates definitely couldn't forget it out.
NZA
LOL
i am glad she didnt put her name on that. having the cia come off as even a neutral, let alone positive force in african affairs while making killmonger the primary problem bothered me
I never got this thought. Okoye literally did nothing more impressive than Panther. What did Shuri do to outshine Panther? Trick into kicking the suit? They were good side characters. Ross could've been replaced by anybody. People related to Killmongers message. I don't think anyone outshined him.But this is what basically happened under CooglerCoogler is also good friends with Coates and liked his take on BP.
T'Challa was overshadowed in his own film, by his whole supporting cast. A lot of people were calling Okoye the true badass, people wanted Shuri to take the mantle, people were siding with Killmonger and calling BP a c00n.etc
I did like the film a lot the first year of release, but since then my opinion on it has simmered a bit. I think it could have been executed a bit better at least as a superhero film. Still one my top MCU films tho.
I would have been fine with Duvernay in all honesty. She's a competent filmmaker. People bring up Wrinkle in Time, but that's one of the hardest stories to adapt for screen. Her filmography going into her first MCU film would have been better than the Russos who's major film before Winter Soldier was You, Me and Dupree
He threw away vengeance in Civil War & couldn't be in the lab all day. He just figuring out where to go as king.
I personally think Winston Duke should've been Killmonger. Michael B wasn't intimidating or scary at all, Winston got that presence.Lol plus Michael B was the worst actor in the whole film
Or we've seen the feminist vision of Black Panther, already.
And the OP isn't too specific at all as to what she wanted to do and couldn't.
Because she wasn’t specific. She’s pretty much made it clear if she does a franchise movie in the studio system it has to be on her terms. The idea that she wanted it to be whatever cats are afraid it would be when most of the material she’s done is about strong black men remaining strong while also propping up strong black females as well, is silly to me. It’s being afraid of a thing when all the evidence shows the complete opposite.

Literally no one acknowledges the pairing outside of the BP book. No x-men book mentions it, no avengers book (even tho BP is the current leader/chairman), even BP being gone in the "intergalactic" timeline is ignored, and he's in these other books and events as if the shyt in Coates book never happened.
Instead of giving BP a new love interest and building new shyt with the greater marvel sandbox, we get these bullshyt retreads of old shyt. This fool
plot points from 2012 that already been resolved. BP and Storm already been resolved, and it'll be bushed once again when he leaves because it's already not taken seriously or recognized by anyone else. Which is actually a blessing lol.
