Superstar
Bingo. White ppl done created a crabs in a barrel conundrum that ppl are unfortunately falling into, instead of thinking outside of.
i.e. Instead of strategically demanding justice for Storm or demanding they expedite Spectrum (who is more powerful than Storm, led the Avengers in the 80s, and is the little black girl in the Captain Marvel movie.. who was recast as an adult and a support character in the Wanda-Vision tv show)... ppl and their half-assed knowledge of the comics are instead obsessed with turning the BP mantle into a revolving token negro mantle.
"Black boys had one turn, now it's time for black girls!"
Oh, so then what happens to the black boys in the meantime? You dumb mutherfukkers.
What shouldve been happened is putting pressure on Disney/Marvel to expand the number of black superhero leads, specifically for Storm/Spectrum/Riri Williams to have solo movies.
That's the win-win for all black kids.
This is nonsense.
Im not saying swapping genders isn’t overdone and for the wrong reasons but this is the one time a female lead does make sense.
The whole arc of BP was atoning for his family’s wrong doing and stepping into the world. T’Challa and Shuri are the only two members with that personal burden.
Bringing in another character would undercut the atonement story cause they didn’t do anything.
So either recast or do Shuri.
