The best fights in the movie were without him in a suit. I don't have problem with Killmonger beating BP thats as it should be.... I have a problem with black panther going from what appear to be a character of skill and great hand to hand combat to a dude jumping around in a suit slashing stuff.
Black panther in this movie was unsure of anything, got caught off guard constantly, didn't definitively win any battles outside of goons with guns. Didn't show off any of his intellect and sucked at combat compared to what I've seen in the MCU. Like spider-man would dance all over this current black panther, really everyone would. He was more reliant on tech than batman.
You got to see all those sides of him but didn't get to see his dominant side and the side that makes him one of the best black panthers if not the best.
Everything Killmonger has trained to do BP has and then some.
Without his shield cap is still a huge threat, without his suit......MCU bp is kinda trash based off this last movie.
-Dude, you realize that first of all that Black Panther was DEPOWERED in those fights. When he's in the suit, he's barely bothered and can tank damn near everything from grunts. His only fight he had with super powers was the last one with Kilmonger.
If you ripped the Super Serum from Cap, he'd be much weaker too. Black Panther was a few steps from death when he came back and showed AMAZING willpower to even be alive after getting thrown off a fukking cliff and thrown into freezing water despite being a NORMAL HUMAN.
-Didn't show his intellect? He came up with the idea to fight Kilmonger on equal ground. Cap got caught off-guard constantly and would have been dead without Black Widow. He's not supposed to be infalliable. He's a newly crowned king, he's not supposed to be sure of himself. This is how most the stories ago. He has characters flaws, he's not super negro.
Spider-Man treated the WINTER SOLDIER like a damn child, the same Winter Soldier that was matching Cap and Iron Man. You're just underrating Kilmonger who is put on the same level as the super soldiers that Bucky/Cap were scared would get released in Civil War (Capable of destabilizing and destroying countries).
You're comparing powerless BP to powered Cap but that's stupid as hell. We've seen how big sheer stats mean because Black Widow is the most skilled hand to hand combantant in Marvel but she just can't deal with the sheer stats of Bucky who just tanks her blows and chokes her out in CW but T'Challa is able to match him outside the suit and is clearly stronger in it.
Spider-Man would actually probably lose too because the ability to absorb and redirect kinetic energy is fukking broken.
Kilmonger, Okoye, and T'Challa are really good fighters.
