Also fcck all y'all who wanted Boseman recasted or complained about it have a mostly female cast
Wasn't trash but wasn't good, felt very long and the 3rd act was schizophrenic....
Shuri ain't the one...but Angela Bassett stole the show and really showed how she should have been Storm over Halle Berry
All the people raising the "recast" flag are just completely ignoring the human element at play.
Yall can compare apples and oranges all yall want,but other recanted characters weren't the face of a billion dollar movie with significant cultural influence whose actor suddenly died in the middle of a tumultuous year for the culture. Nobody was gonna look at a different person playing T'Challa and be able to unsee Chadwick. It was a massive elephant in the room. And that's probably quadruple worse for the cast & crew and even whatever hypothetical actor would've played him.
Yes, the Black Panther character has existed for decades. But he was a deep cut. To most of the world, Chadwick s character IS Black Panther. He was their first impression. It's way too soon for the MCU to recast him. End of story. Yeah, the character should exist beyond the actor but hey - real life happened
That's not Black people, that's PEOPLE period.nikka just say you think Black people are emotional hoes
if you were a king that's what you would want for your son?T'Challa is a scholar first. He knows his history. All throughout history, children in similar situations have been eliminated. A 5-6 year prince/king to be in charge of a country with a rare resource that had just disclosed their existence to the world means having a target on his back. Also, nation-state destabilization often begins with death and assassination. T'Challa never had to grow up like that, so why would he put his kid in that situation? It makes perfect sense. I love too that Haiti is a site of Black liberation and that his son's Haitian name is the father of the Haitian revolution that pushed out the colonizers. I love too, that he won't grow up around wealth. That he's going to have an intimate understanding of poverty and struggle. Nakia's passion for outreach and compassion is being nurtured in him by living outside of the throne's eye. It's fitting and I really thought it was brilliant to put them there.

I understand that but real life got in the way. It's hard to proceed business as usual with these circumstances.people were gonna see this regardless breh, the folks sitting out on either side are a minority honestly.
The Sane people who wanted a recast more so wanted it so they dont write themselves into a corner. With the path chosen they gotta keep julezing or pretty much close the chapter on this version of wakanda and we get introduced to a different version later.
Ehh
I didn't have high expectations for this and I still feel this was fumbled a bit. I think they should've just recasted T'Challa. This felt more like a Shuri D+ show. It was nice to see Angela Bassett have a bigger role, though.
Also, I liked all of the Namor stuff. Yeah, he is different from the comics but this version was cool, imo
