Lupita is a better actor and has more credentials (an Oscar if you are into that sort of thing) than any male candidate in or outside the franchise to be Black Panther. She would be my preference as well. But REALLY my preference is a good movie however they get there regarding BP.
right, they've got her and Kaluuya under contract and they were like the 6th and 7th most important characters in the movie. might as well re-write them a little and take advantage of the talent you've got. Shuri has plenty to do already, is built like a stick, and is basically a child. we don't need to see her as BP. Same goes for whatsherface michonne. Great character, kicks a ton of ass, but is already basically an Avenger. leave her be. M'Baku is just a doofus, i don't want him getting the mantle either. I like that character as he is.

If marvel can have multiple smart middle aged white men interacting with each other and everything is fine, I don't know why Riri and Shuri interacting as two intelligent black women would be a problem :pachaha:

I just love how ya'll think ya'll are better at writing and directing than Ryan fukking Coogler :russ:




What If is the worst show so far IMO with WandaVision being the best one by far.

They have the same personality. MCU Shuri & Riri from comics are exactly the same character. Me and others pointed it out after BP1, that Shuri in such a manner is more like Riri, so maybe she becomes her, instead of them going Shuri BP. Tony & Banner were the minds of MCU, and none of them are exactly the same. Even now with Peter, he was a protege. There's 0 reason to include Riri (Ironheart) in a Black Panther movie as her first appearance...not unless you change her origin.

Like I said, I'm a fan of Ironheart. I was a fan of pre-Coates Shuri, and I liked MCU Shuri. I may only be a cameo, but once again, if that's so, why even include her.

Kevin Feige might be too woke......
the market dictates this right now. it'll level off. representation is a good thing... but if they keep greenlighting female led movies, it might become overkill.

i mean, it'll be good b/c it's marvel, but we're getting a deaf female hero. were deaf females clamoring for their own hero? they're also getting one in Eternals. ... although i heard that Echo thing is basically a backdoor reboot of Daredevil with the same actors from Netflix, so that's cool.

Based off these proposed numbers we are seeing...phase 4 might not be a home run

No such things as bombs in a pandemic studios going to have to understand the bulk of audiences aren't ready.
There can still be bombs. They would just lower the benchmark, and see if it meets those figures.

I dont know for sure if Shuri is the new BP, but they got her doing way more stunts than before. This looks like something Nakia would have been doing.

Of course there are bombs...quarantines are over...movie theaters are open....F9 proved that if people want to see it they will go out if that is the only option.
