This is what happens when you let non comic reading nikkas make and write movies.

But congrats on the Billie

I don't think the source material is that important when it comes to comic book movies to a certain degree. Some of it just isn't practical. Some characters are too powerful, or it just doesn't look right. I'm honestly surprised they actually showed the Celestials to scale in the Eternals. It didn't look right to me.

They also retconned Hank Pym who should've had a larger role in the MCU. Most people at this point don't follow the comic books anyway. It is what it is.

And this is the shyt that drives me. We made the comics hot and wealthy...so lets pander now.

Nah Shuri was boring in the comics when they basically wrote her as "T'Challa but female". Making her the genius nerd of Wakanda in the MCU, gave her a separate identity and niche. Okoye practically occupies that fierce woman warrior role of Wakanda in the MCU already anyway.
Nah, in the comics, they are nothing alike. She was created for the sole purpose of vying for the throne. She was fearless, but she was brash, and jealous, and in way over her head. But she was out to prove to everyone, including herself, that she was capable of leading Wakanda. MCU Killmonger had some if her traits. She did a lot of growing up during her arc. The one consistent trait about T'Challa is that he's always calculating, and confident in his actions and decisions, and he'll live with the consequences. They're completely different...and when they really started working together, they were an incredible tandem.

MCU Shuri as the Q already pigeonholed her. There's no real place for her to go next. She's not a leader, not a fierce warrior, not an adventurer, and with them bringing in Riri, she won't have that intelligence upperhand factor either....unless they dumb Riri down

^^^^THIS


Again this was early them nikkas in the writing room oandering to lil black girls and black women. The comic book version of Shuri is actually what black women should want as a hero. After she saved Wakanda while Tchalla was in suspended animation she started to see things through his eyes and understand why he acted how he acted.

Thus Shuri then basically became a Wakanda nationalist. She would rather the world end then to see Wakanda destroyed or enslaved and raped.

Her final convo with Tchalla with the King's Blade was some great writing and I honestly felt bad for her. Her goddess Bast betrayed her and Tchalla her last direct kim was lying and being sneaky to her because THEIR deity told him to. We really are gonna miss out on a very strong black superheroine.

MCU had no business bringing RiRi or whatever her name is on board. We dont need any more Stark types. That was Wakandas job. And guess what they did?

They nerfed the most technological nation in fictional world history to prop up 1single man to look almighty. Thats why Tchalla was never gonna be written with Stark in scenes, cause MCU and Disney aint fenna make Wakanda on GODMODE.

I want this film to fail, because to this day I still gotta point out they made a black masculine African King, atheist, avg intelligence, and had him crying in front of his ancestors and past Kings.


We cant have shyt

Anyone else getting hour + long think pieces in their youtube feeds about how a past critically acclaimed, financially successful Marvel movie is actually not all that? Or is it just me?

Idk how to feel about that Namor news :francis:we'll see how this plays out but idk


I don’t see the issue with the Namor news at all. More minorities instead of yet ANOTHER white hero is a good thing. Hell its probably the only bright spot thats come out of this mess of a production since they foolishly decided not to recast T’Challa

At this point they don’t have completion so there is nothing to compare the MCU to.

The control Spider-Man, the bought Fox, and the DCEU is in ruins.


So people have nothing to contrast the MCU to. So now all they can really do is pick thru every movie with a fine tooth comb.
