I'm well aware of those scenes. Namor and the Cabal were meant to survive that shyt because
Hickman wasn't done with them so he had to throw some duex ex machina one in a million bullshyt for that to happen with that extra planet takin em to another reality.
That's why they survived. Ppl can blame it on BP all they want but the first time it happened, we saw Namor's face distraught and enraged as BP was sayin the quotes, and then everything blew up. It was only later that Hickman flipped it to have like 30 mins worth of dialogue go by so they could take advantage of a scenario that *nobody* saw coming and get out of that corner he wrote em in.
End of the day, BP outmaneuvered Namor, 'put the knife where it belonged', damned him to the planet he was gon blow up, blew up the planet and as far as everyone in 616 knew, Namor and the Cabal were dead and no longer an issue until Secret Wars (once existence was over with anyway)... in which BP then did no favors in protecting him from Dr. Doom's attack. In which Namor was brought back alive 5 mins later anyway.
Flaws and all, IDGAF
. His plan brought back existence. That's not just a major accomplishment. That is
the accomplishment. He brought back Wakanda, brought back the vibranium and established them as numero uno in the WORLD.
Extinction level event. Everyone dies. Because of BP's plan... everyone lives.
If Coates wants to fukk that up with his garbage interpretation, then that's a personal decision with Coates. If Coates wants to marginalize and undermine the flip side of all the good shyt that BP did after Doomwar and Secret Wars, then that's on Coates. But i personally will remind everybody each and everytime that as much feelings as people can catch for what BP did... BP saved existence, kept Wakanda healthy after Doomwar... saved existence... brought back the "future" of the nation... saved existence... brought back Vibranium... saved existence. So at some point those haters with their valid issues can STFU and say thank you to BP for puttin in work.
Not directed at you, but I am tired of the slander and the marginalization and the disrespect BP has gotten when this whole sequence of the events of the last 8 years was in part kickstarted when BP sacrificed himself to save a Dora Milaje... who should've been saving him! But now writers want to give selective memory and selective story telling to make BP seem inept or like this or that..
Well.. i guess i'll have to rep the other side of the equation then
