Did Wakanda get exposed in Infinity War, or was it simply under utilized.

Yea. Black Panther is my all time favorite superhero but he’s not on Thor’s level strength wise. Even with the King Of The Dead powers T’Challa is slightly above Steve Rogers on the pure physical strength scale while Thor is a bonafide God.

Now that doesn’t mean T’Challa can’t DEFEAT Thor. But it would be a combination of intelligence, tactics, and Vibranium that would allow him to do so.
I dont even think any amount of preparation or vibranium would help him go solo against Thor at his most powerful. It wouldnt be a contest imo. Lol

BP was the brains behind defeating GALACTUS breh. He could beat Thor with tactics and prep time. Remember, T’Challa is one of the top smartest people in the Marvel universe. Reed Richards considers him an intellectual colleague.


If we’re talking MCU then thats a different atory since they seem tonhave regrettably stripped him of his uber intelligence and given it to Shuri

And magic, BP would need an ally capable of spells and getting him away from his hammer would make him considerably weaker.

THIS is the T'Challa that was missing not just in Infinity War but in his own damn movie lol

I chalked it up as "too much too soon" to cram all that in tho, bc even Iron Man didn't get all his fancy toys in his debut movie, so I gave it a pass for BP... but I'll be heated if we don't get these upgrades in the sequel. And now that they know how popular he is, i expect he'll get to do fancy things too in future teamup/event movies.

That's the real answer to the thread question. They didn't know BP/Wakanda would be as popular as they ended up being, and by then the script and movie was in the can. Nate Moore, the Marvel producer, said as much a couple months back when he was asked why BP didn't do nothing in the movie. He said they'd have made the Russos give BP more to do if they knew then what they know now.

So no doubt if they knew early on in the script/development that "Wakanda" as an extension of BP would be seen as this cultural phenomenon, they'd likely have done more with it too... esp since the source material itself has Wakanda as more star wars with its hordes of bugatti space ships than just a buncha afrikans with spears..

your right they have to keep some trick's up their sleeve for future movie's

but just for infinity war T'Challa using the "ebony blade" would have been cool as hell it's like the perfect situation to have black panther use the ebony blade if he ever use it in the movie's cutting through and slaying a faceless horde army

you could just say one of the black panther's of the past got it on one of their many adventure and put ebony blade in Wakanda national war chest T'Challa decide to use it in battle like motherfukking John Snow

it could be a just be a one time thing in the movie's for black panther to use and plus you could have sold some toy's

Hell yea. I mean shyt, they could just bypass explaining the whole Black Knight backstory (of BP acquiring the Ebony Blade) and just grant him an indestructible royal vibranium sword that has the same kinetic absorption/discharge capabilities as his suit. Have BP swinging his sword and releasing shock waves n shyt :whew:
