This is the primary reason I don't want storm or namor; They've haven't really fleshed out T'Challa's character and they've done a great job at world-building with Wakanda and people. I much rather see them keep it self contained and save the namor stuff for a avengers film or maybe the 3rd if they do enough with this one.
I thought it was a awful characterization, for a african prince being raised to be a king, had deer in headlights syndrome the whole film, the big reveal didn't have as much of an impact since T'Challa really didn't change at all.
Nahh breh, the characterization i described is real world shyt. We see it all the time with how kids are raised in households, especially of privilege. That's the truth of it. How great Boseman executed the characterization is different than speaking on the characterization itself. And to keep it a buck, there was nothing unpredictable about T'Challa's "subtle" character arc in the movie.. so i'd take some of the more "obvious" (like those deleted scenes) because it adds a fuller picture to his character.
Killmonger wasn't conflicted at every turn; nygga knew exactly what he wanted to do. Nor is it about generalizing that people want it clearly one way or another, it's just calling the ish for what it is: I thought Boseman was great but i also see what they were trying to do (and avoid doing) based on the Killmonger character
Yall are overlooking the fact that both lost their fathers at different stages of their lives. Coogler even said that in one of the behind the scenes vids before the movie came out how that can alter your decision making.
T'Challa had just lost his father a week ago. Killmonger lost his father years ago. So yes they are going to process it different. When you are grieving you are going to come down from it and not truly put your stamp on things right away. Thats great screen writing. He's just truly processing the death and then blindsided. Killmonger had been building to that moment his entire life.
You also have to realize what was setup in Civil War makes things the way they are as well. He just lost his father. He just spared his father's murderer. He just took in Winter Soldier to get healed. So to have him that strong in other direction wouldn't have made sense either. T'Challa was ultimately taking a half measure. Which is what happens sometimes in life.
He discovered a lot of shyt in just a week's time and paid for it.
Also what I mean by obvious is..
We've seen enough Marvel movies where the hero is obviously wrong (Thor, Iron Man, Doctor Strange) and needed to learn a hard lesson. In this there was no easy answers and he wasn't as sure what was best. Thats unique enough to set it apart from others.
