Atlantean's and Wakandans have had a long standing rivalry. Thats why. Just cause say otherwise doesn't make your retort a valid one. Anyone who reads black panther would have expected that matchup.
And the pics i post aren't the only comics they've appeared in together, They were beefing in the Illuminati Storyline, they went toe to toe in Rise of the Black Panther. They worked together as frenemies in Secret Wars, he went to war against wakanda in avengers vs x-men too. These are not random pairings there is history
And like i mentioned before, (which yall are ignoring) is that they are actually a good matchup at the end of the day. Two Kings leaders of advance nations, beefin, its interesting.
NAH @Jazzy B. IS CORRECT.
THIS NAMOR/TCHALLA shyt
STARTED IN 2012 WITH "AVENGERS VS XMEN".
IVE SPOKEN ON HOW PPL
LOVE TO USE THE RECENT "SOURCE MATERIAL"
COP OUT WHEN IT COMES
TO THESE MOVIES AS IF
THESE COMICS HAVENT BEEN
AROUND FOR 50+ YEARS.
I DONT HONOR ANY "SOURCE MATERIAL"
THAT WAS CREATED IN THE LAST 20 YEARS.


BUT WE ALL KNOW WHY
Come on bruh Namor was a great pick to be the big bad. For BP2 the only problem was that we didn’t get “the battle between two kings.” That majority of us comic book heads wanted. Remember how hype people were in End Game. When Okoye said that there were “underwater earthquakes in the ocean” by Wakanda.
Show me all these rivalry stories before 2012?
….
The pushback against recasting T’Challa was wild.

look at the state of black male characters since!
