It was a dumb rumor started by cac incels who hate anything remotely feminist and make 20 min long YouTube videos everyday about it. Then people just started believing it for some reason
This is part of a larger problem: the comic book breh community in the coli is a rare exception; the majority of comic book outlets are housed majority by cacs, and comic book news media is largely ran by cacs.
And these cacs don't read black panther, so much of the "rumored news" are inherently illogical guesswork based on vague cliff-notes they wiki'd about the character.
i.e. How is Shuri going to replace T'Challa, when the first movie had T'Challa's mother
begging Nakia to become the next Black Panther after T'Challa "died"? And then offering the title to M'Baku?
i.e. Why is Storm going to be in BP2 when the first movie established Nakia as the childhood love interest and future queen if T'Challa has his way?
For as many times as ppl watched this movie, it's like
nyggas cacs didn't pay attention to what Coogler actually setup in the movie
