Because Tetu got control of the people and the Midnight angel fukkery to a lesser extent....but why would coates pick a move like that is beyond me
It's some shyt that T'Challa would NEVER do and it made no sense. It was just T'Challa making a dumb decision for no reason.
Tetu is doing the same basic super villain shyt we've seen T'Challa deal with time and time again. It'd be different if Tetu was some kind of strategic genius, but he's not. Instead of upping the threat of the villain so that T'Challa can rise to the occasion Coates made T'Challa dumber and weaker.
is it a new move or is he getting his azz kicked get your story straight fam
The only time I recall him losing in a physical confrontation was when they ambushed the MA's then Tetu ambushed them,.
It's both, In order to use the new move he has to get his ass kicked. Coates gave him that new ability but the only way it works is if T'Challa absorbs kinetic energy from taking blows from his opponent. That's why all his fights involve him getting smacked around by characters weaker than him before unleashing the stored kinetic energy. There's literally a moment where he takes off his mask and lets a dude punch him in the face repeatedly just so he can use that stupid move.
Seriously, go back and read the issues you have so far and look at how many times T'Challa ends up on his knees during a fight. Keep in mind he's not fighting anybody all that powerful compared to him, nearly everyone he's fought so far is FAR below his weight class. It'd be like if Spider-Man showed up to stop a bank robbery and suddenly got overwhelmed by some normal guys with guns. T'Challa has fought the likes of Namor, Black Dwarf, Iron Fist, and Super Skrull, either to a standstill or outright beaten them, now he's continually getting tagged and overwhelmed by normal human beings.
Playing possum is vintage black panther the other sh!t
Dawg, T'Challa is supposed to be one of the eighth smartest people on the planet. Yeah, he plays possum, but there has to be a good reason behind and a genuinely smart plan. Look at the complex plan T'Challa had during Enemy of the State II during Priest's run. T'Challa was manipulating multiple people, sending secret codes to Tony Stark, and using diversionary tactics to keep people guessing.
In Coates book, T'Challa just uses the most basic Saturday morning cartoon plan ever. He allows himself to be captured just so the villain can tell T'Challa his plan while he records it and "The Crew" is sent in. The Crew being sent in isn't even a surprise because we were shown they were there in the previous issue.
T'challa did style on stane though hands tied behind my back nicca !
Another fight where he took a multiple blows to the body just so he could use that stupid new power that Coates created. And it made no sense for him to be fighting with his hands chained behind his back, he should have been able to break or cut through those chains easily. We've seen T'Challa cut and break through chains like that plenty of times before. It would have been one thing is Coates had just written that the chain were made of Vibranium but he didn't even do that. So instead we have T'Challa fighting a guy with his hands tied behind his back for no fukking reason.
that's a bit silly but I guess he was trying to have people side with the rogue dora's instead of bushing them like I am anyway, well there agenda
It's straight up shytting on the character. There are rape camps in his homeland and we're continually told that the hero of the story doesn't fukking care and is too busy to deal with it. T'Challa's mother Ramonda knew about it and did nothing about it either, even though SHE was a victims of sexual abuse for years. You'd think Ramonda would make it a priority and tell T'Challa. Also, notice that at no point so far in Coates run has he talked to the Dora Milaje or have we seen them try to talk to him. So the entire conflict hinges on the main character not having a simple fukking conversation with a couple of supporting characters.
I do agree we need Kirby's clairvoyance back how nicca's gonna ignore a legends contribution. It doesn't have to be on all the time or there needs to be ways to be undetectable to it because it would get boring.
Coates said off top that he didn't like the hyper capable version of T'Challa so his intention was always to make him weaker so as to show him "struggle and overcome" but he went about the shyt int he worst way possible. Instead of making the threats greater, smarter, or more powerful he made T'Challa weaker and dumber. Priest's run had T'Challa struggling quite often, he was hyper competent but he struggled to get his wins because the threats were so huge and he often won the battle at a high price.
Seriously, could you see Coates version of T'Challa taking on Doctor Doom or holding his own in a fight against Captain America or Iron Fist? As we've been shown this version of T'Challa can barely keep up with Ezekiel Stane and normal human beings.
