First off, he wasn’t the only black male character
Secondly , I loved Boseman as Panther, and I rather not fukk with something once its done right.
Its the same way I feel about Christopher Reeves’ Superman, or Bale’s Batman, or Ledger’s Joker, or Evans’ Cap.
Not saying it should never be recast ever, but I’d hope when they do they recast all the roles and just start over again..
Its crazy that i’m the one explaining this but representation is important.
T'challa is the only good black man in the entire black panther franchise literary ever other super character is a black women. The other black males are villains or elderly side characters they have yet to create any new black males In marvel and DC there is no one to pass the mantle too.
shyt was a red flag to me so I saw this coming, what if t'challa was removed, what other black males were there? Or who will be Shuri's love interest? In the comics it was some random ass Australian aboriginal, that told me they didn't want to create any more black males for the franchise which was fukked up as there was only 1, and lore breaking. How Tchalla is forced to pick a wakandan but Shuri could date who ever she wants?
Also shuri and okoye was created to nerf T'challa now that T'challa is gone are they going to have Shuri be smart and skilled in combat? It was bad for Tchalla but now it's okay for Shuri?
You bring up representation yet you don't understand what it means. Black boys have no positive representation in anything that is fukked up. Keyword here is positive. Not lame ass side characters or emasculated side kicks. Someone to actually look up to.
This is what pissed me off about black feminists they are selfish as hell. nikkas need to stop feeding them, they are already fed at this point there just greedy.
I'm fukking sick of thug culture being unchallenged.
