T'Challa has always walked that line of Science and mysticism. Like he said in the issue he's literally stood before Bast on Numerous occasions. He's seen the afterlife, he's encountered multiple gods, survived the end of all things, he communes with his dead ancestors, he nearly witnessed the death of Mephisto (The devil) at the hands of his ancestors. His powers come directly from Bast, and Bast was the one that gave him the mission to save all of existence.

As the head of the Panther tribe T'Challa obviously has to be a believer, plus he's actually seen and spoken with their god. The issue is that Bast gave him a mission and T'Challa hasn't seen her since. The other gods of Wakanda have been acknowledged in the past too, Coates has just made it a point to retcon all of them into being Egyptian gods.

I was always under the impression science>religion in t'challa mind...so why is he struggling with it now? Seems a little odd to me

Not so much struggling, but more like wondering "Where the fukk are they? "

I mean, T'Challa not long ago just received a mission from his god with vague ass clues, then had to go through a bunch of traumatic shyt while improvising his way out of the situation.

And when T'Challa managed to pull the shyt off somehow, Bast didn't even show up. Not even a message saying "props" or "thank you"

If that happened to me, I'd be heated at Bast, wondering "where in the hell did she go? "

The gods were actually from all over Africa

I actually liked that because people seem to just focus on Egyptian gods when it comes to African gods

When it comes to combat T'Challa had typically preferred science over magic, but he's always had that spiritual side to him. Like I said, his powers come directly from Bast. In order to even become Black Panther T'Challa had to commune with and place faith in Bast.

In recent years (since before DoomWar) T'Challa had begun to embrace mysticism in combat too, hence the creation of shadow physics.

Exactly.....

Bast had some explaining to do. In addition to the mission she gave T'Challa she also let Doom walk out with that vibranium...

Nah he prefers science but knows what side his bread is buttered on.

Different take on scenes that we've already read about. Given the emphasis being placed on the Dora, I assume they plan to put them or at least Okaye in the next avengers film along with Black Panther.

One of the first clips shown followed Lupita Nyong'o's Nakia character as she approached soldiers in a jungle. As the soldiers opened fire, presumably aiming for the Dora Milaje, Nakia snuck up on several of them and beat them until they were not only disarmed but unable to fight back. She did this with several kicks, punches, and hip tosses, all in one smooth, well-choreographed effort.

A later clip saw Ulysses Klaw, as portrayed by Andy Serkis, entering a casino. Being narrated by Danai Gurira's Okoye, the audience hears that he has eight men with him.

After marching down the stairs, Klaw later comes to a meeting with Martin Freeman's Everett Ross. Ross jokes that Klaw brought so many people they might as well be dropping a new mixtape. Klaw jokes back, clearly not taking the insult seriously. He wants a brieface.

After a cut, an action sequence ensues. T'Challa is protecting Freeman as they hide behind a table. He uses guns to take out several enemies, providing Ross with enough cover to take his briefcase and escape the casino.

Another pair of clips showed two boats approaching Warrior Falls for T'Challa's crowning as King of Wakanda.

The first clip had Gurira's Okoye at the lead of a ship. She was wearing gold while the rest of the Dora Milaje was wearing a light red color. As they camera crept towards the group, they chanted and stepped together, lead by Okoye.

In the following clip, a similar angle sees a group of Wakandan citizens, many dressed in extravagant colors, celebrating and dancing together as they approach Warrior Falls to see T'Challa become King.

Both shots were surrounded by huge walls of blue screen which might be replaced with additional boats, endless ocean, or land.

Upon arrival at Warrior Falls, it is time for T'Challa to take on the mantle of King.

the first shot follows Chadwick Boseman's character down a set of steps and into water at the bottom of Warrior Falls. As the camera follows T'Challa's sight line, it pans up to reveal the people of Wakanda dancing in celebration of his arrival. He joins in and steps to a beat with a spear and shield in his hand.

The second shot was a reverse, medium close up, focused on T'Challa as he approaches the crowd.

I just read the latest issue of the comic and I must say it reads more like a traditional superhero story. It was a refreshing read and much better than any of the issues that came out of the first arc. If TNC can keep this up he may get on my good graces.

If filming is done release it this Friday

Post production brotha

I hear that though

I hear that though

Post production only takes about a month. They could have it out by late summer if they really wanted to. They're just strategic about the release dates to maximize profits. That's why there releasing BP in February. Not only because it's Black History month, but also because there won't be any other blockbuster to compete with it like Spider-Man in the summer or Star Wars during the holidays.
