Forgot about T'Chaka....because they made me forget about T'Chaka
Still didn't like how that was done...but oh well.
I'm open to it because I'm not deep in the lore like other brehs here. However, like you said its all about execution.
Its also really going to be interesting who Coogler bases his Panther off of as well. Is he more Priest? Hudlin? etc..
I think T'Challa is going to be a blend of Priest and Hudlin.
T'Chaka was surprisingly memorable to me. Loved it when he and T'Challa were speaking in their native tongue. Perhaps my favorite scene of Civil War.
The big question now is the supporting characters. Will Nakia go psycho? Is Okoye going to have a bigger presence? Will Ramonda's background change (from step-mom to bio-mom, for example)? Will Ramonda still be South African? Is M'Baku still going to be a super traditionalist while Killmonger embraces the ways of the West? Will the Doras be mostly bodyguards or more than that?
Hella questions and we might not be done with the casting of the film yet.
