Take the title character out of the movie and expect everything to be alright brehs…
You have no idea how much it pains me to say this. I’ve been a Black Panther stan since before many people knew who he was. The fact of the matter is that T’Challa is as important to the Black Panther franchise as Bruce Wayne is to Batman or Clark Kent is to Superman. You can’t have one without the other. This shyt is going to fail.
I totally hear you, but just like Batman Beyond was dope as fukk despite Bruce Wayne NOT being Batman, they don't need T'Challa to make a good movie.
If they give the mantal to his son from an alternate dimension or Wakabi and do it well then I'm not gonna say the movie sucks just because it's not T'Challa.
T'Challa is a vehicle for characteristics to be conveyed. Other characters can embody those same traits even if they look different or have a different name.
Will it be the original king we all know and love? No, but it could still work.
And mind you, this is coming from someone who absolutely feels that T'Challa shoulda been recasted.
All I'm asking is that people don't be narrow minded and give it a chance cuz you never know. And I trust Ryan Coogler and Joe Robert Cole. I also trust Letticia Wright, Daniel Kaluya, Lupita Nyongo, Winston Duke, Angela Bassett, and Danai Guirra.
