I don't post as frequently about these things as i used to a couple years back b/c i notice it's all the same narrative of detractors, trolls and agenda having whatevers... but i will say this:
I'm 29 years old and this movie, this 'concept' has been damn near 15 years in the making for me. From the latter end of Priests run... through the Kasper Cole bullshyt in the early '00s... through most of Hudlin's tenure... the marriage... the silver surfer armbar... that masterful Secret Invasion tie-in... the beautiful "World's Apart" mini series with Storm... then the fukkin training wreck starting with Shuri's coronation at T'Challa's expense... the Daredevil replacement... the hot garbage that was Doomwar... the stinking pile of trash that was AvX with the marriage 'annulment'... and then, finally and much needed, the last 3 years of Hickman's sometimes hit/miss attempt at undoing the massive shyt Marvel had taken on BP's character and integrity from the moment Hudlin had stepped away from the title.
I rep black excellence above all else when it comes to this media/super hero shyt and for non stronger than for BP and John Stewart, but i'm not gonna settle for any ol thrown together bullshyt either lol. Hell, after AVX, i boycotted everything Marvel for about a year or so, except for Hickman's New Avengers (which starred T'Challa) and i damn sure wouldn't have been checkin for any of these recent films if i didnt' feel T'Challa was going to get his due in this Civil War movie.
I don't believe in Marvel. but i do believe in Disney. I see what they're doing with Star Wars and the young Boyega and I saw what they did at the end of Avengers 2 with that new lineup, plus the rumors of all upgrades they're going to be giving them boys in
addition to what T'Challa is gonna have... so i'm all in... opening night, midnight showing, 3d, rpx, taking a bad female with me and telling her to STFU once the movie starts, etc, all of that. I'm in, and it's been a long time coming, but I expect to get my money's worth.
