If you search up Marvel's social media stuff you would notice they didn't even promote that issue because of the stupid cover by EW but they did with Doctor Strange that was EW's fukk up not Marvel's. None of Marvel's lead heroes have been chumps in their own movies so I don't see why that would start now.Again you cannot operate under the ASSUMPTION that it won't happen. This is why us fans are going over everything BP related with a fine tooth comb. We are dealing with an industry that has a long and detailed HISTORY of pushing emasculated, unintelligent, comic relief personas upon token black characters. In the rare case where they are not portrayed as such they are token vanilla sidekicks who exist for nothing other than to provide motivation for the main white character's heroism.
This is the first movie outside of the Will Smith movies from the 2000's that will feature a black male lead in the role of an Alpha. It will also be the first Action movie with a high budget to feature an majority African American cast (besides, After Earth, which was of course a Will Smith movie) It HAS to be done correctly, even a HINT of fukkery should be viewed with utmost prejudice. Which is why there was unholy hell from fans who called bullshyt on that preposterous EW cover which had T'Challa uttering that gay ass "Meow" line on the cover,while in contrast, when Dr Strange got his cover, there was absolutely nothing but the image of a hero, treated with mysticism, nobility, and respect
It's the same reason why the "Black Panther movie doesn't need to be directed by a black director" crowd are either c00ns or naive. We NEED a director who truly understands what T'Challa, as a BLACK hero represents. And it doesn't mean he has to be killing the KKK and yelling "fukk WHITEY" every scene, it means he has to be portrayed dignified, brilliant, brave, and noble. We need a director who when the suits come in with silly ass notes and suggestions like the awful and offensive "Droid Please" line, can call bullshyt. We need a director who UNDERSTANDS what black excellence looks like, what the dynamic between black love interests looks like. Ava Duverney could portray that. Ryan Coogler could portray that. No white director could EVER portray that, hell I can't even think of one who would truly even want to try.
I'm also in the camp that doesn't believe his director has to be black. You don't need to be black to understand the bolded and you don't need to be black to understand anything else you posted.

One Of The Last Real Ones To Do It
Thanks that's what I thought
Also that's dope and it explains why the pictures of the guy playing BP is so swole cause the guy who they casted to play T'challa BP looks like a normal size guy.
Nah T'Challa is going to be the one wearing the Panther garb. I don't know how their going to explain it but that's T'Challa in the trailer

One Of The Last Real Ones To Do It
I mean if that's what they want to do
But the way T'challa becomes BP in all the stories T'chaka isn't around one way or another. It'll be interesting if this is what Marvel goes with.

Director doesn't have to be black. However, this is one of the few projects that I much prefer having a black director, straight up. One can assume that a black director (who takes this project seriously, of course) will damn near make sure there will be no bs chumping under his/her watch, especially with a film of this magnitude. That and I personally believe a black director will def put their best foot forward for this project.
Is a black director needed? No. Does a black director guarantee success? No. Is it a good look? In my eyes, yes, absolutely.

The BP movie has no place for Finn shyt. Especially when in damn near every run, T'Challa and his supporting cast are highly competent people.
Wakanda = #NoFinnZone.

Word, I'm cautiously optimistic, but I know better than to assuming shyt in this situation.
If it works out well, great. But I'll won't be coming to this completely naive either.
That's my point like I really want Coogler to direct this not because of his race but because he's great.

Looks like we might see Wakanda in Civil War
Joe Russo: "You're Probably Going To See Wakanda" In Marvel's Captain America: Civil War
During a Wizard World New Orleans panel for Captain America: Civil War, directors Joe and Anthony Russo were asked if we'll see Wakanda, the home of Black Panther/T'Challa (Chadwick Boseman) which is a technologically advanced African nation that has isolated itself from much of the world.
Anthony responded to the question first by going into a long spiel about how he doesn't want to spoil the film and then stressed how Black Panther has a "very important part in the story" and an "amazing arc." He concluded by saying, "Whether or not Wakanda is involved in it remains on the table."
But before the next fan could ask them a question, Joe leaped in and explained that Anthony would have simply said "no" if Wakanda wasn't in the film. "If you're going to see Wakanda, we go, 'Listen, we can't tell you whether or not you're going to see Wakanda,'" he said. "You're probably going to see Wakanda."
Marvel’s Captain America: Civil War finds Steve Rogers leading the newly formed team of Avengers in their continued efforts to safeguard humanity. But after another incident involving the Avengers results in collateral damage, political pressure mounts to install a system of accountability, headed by a governing body to oversee and direct the team. The new status quo fractures the Avengers, resulting in two camps—one led by Steve Rogers and his desire for the Avengers to remain free to defend humanity without government interference, and the other following Tony Stark’s surprising decision to support government oversight and accountability. Get ready to pick a side and join the nonstop action playing out on two fronts when Marvel’s Captain America: Civil War opens in U.S. theaters on May.
Captain America: Civil War will arrive in theaters on May 6, 2016.

@Realdealholy have you been reading Ultimates?
Just finished the third issue. Not a fan of how T'Challa's drawn outside of the suit. They pushed his Hairline back like Steven A. Smith's
Overall it's a good comic though, T'Challa and Adam given some REAL shine in the intellectual department

I read the first two issues. Haven't read the most recent one yet. It's def a good look, Ewing is doing a good job with it. I get the feeling Adam and T'Challa might bump heads, as they have in Mighty Avengers (written by Ewing, in fact).
Everyone been saying T'Challa's hairline is on struggle shyt. Not my king
