Nah, they got FF and X-Men.

That's phase 5. But we'll see. Fantastic 4, i have faith they will do correctly, but honestly that's not really hard. You had people who weren't comic fans running the last few iterations.

But X-Men is not the Avengers, so they shouldn't have the same tone. One of the few things Fox got right was the tone.

It will be hard to do as mutants don't exist in this universe, so the hatred that came along with them coming out of no where, when superhumans and aliens long since existing will be a little absurd.

Things like Sentinels, Magneto's motivations, senator Kelly and Genosha won't make sense without going into a plot pretzel.

I had no idea Armor Wars was coming with Don Cheadle as War Machine, IMO that’s a big deal, as is Isaiah Bradley making an appearance in the MCU, possibly his grandson.

I said in another thread endgame was the “golden age” of MCU coming to a close. Just like how comics started out strictly for kids and propaganda then started getting sexier, more violent, nuanced etc.

You can already see it in Wanda Vision. The margin for error is much smaller for Marvel Studios now, but it’s very possible for the best of the MCU to be ahead of us especially with so much more black characters head lining.

Whats that man? A short comic that Marvel released awhile back?

Besides the rumor reason
You have to remember he’s still a king so he’s in the ancestral realm with the other kings
Oh damn wait...

Hold up is this true???


Did we just forget about this the whole time or was this debunked??

I'll argue even though his performance was lackluster his character actually overshadowed T'challa
Yeah tbh his character was mainly shock value.

I remember seeing it in theatres and being like. This dude has zero depth, he’s just aggressive as hell for no reason. Like he was acting like some sociopathic street dude even though he spent years in the special forces. Saying off the wall shyt like “hey auntie”

Didn’t like how he just shot his girl like that first scene, that took away his humanity in my eyes.

i think people related to his anger, but emotions of side dude didnt do anything amazing honestly.

Yeah I think more so people were genuinely shocked and related to a powerful, strong, aggressive black male character. Especially considering the name of the movie and the culture we’re in today - where you literally don’t see that shyt.

I remember when they first showed him engaging in fukkery the whole crowd erupted like they were waiting to see a character like that. You know since we usually get all these meek, estrogenic, wise, and stoic black characters

I don't like this.

The biggest critique I have of Black Panther is that they turned Killmonger into a parody of Black revolution - they stripped the entire social context that surrounds the character and made him into an imperialist clown.

‘Black Panther’ Is Not the Movie We Deserve

These imaginings could be made to reconcile, but the movie’s director and writer (with Joe Cole), Ryan Coogler, makes viewers choose. Killmonger makes his way to Wakanda and challenges T’Challa’s claim to the throne through traditional rites of combat. Killmonger decisively defeats T’Challa and moves to start the revolution by shipping vibranium weapons to black communities around the world. In the course of Killmonger’s swift rise to power, however, Coogler muddies his motivation. Killmonger is the revolutionary willing to take what he wants by any means necessary, but he lacks any coherent political philosophy. Rather than the enlightened radical, he comes across as the black thug from Oakland hell bent on killing for killing’s sake—indeed, his body is marked with a scar for every kill he has made. The abundant evidence of his efficacy does not establish Killmonger as a hero or villain so much as a receptacle for tropes of inner-city gangsterism.

Ft. Stewart, Ga
He KILLED a respected Wakandan elder in cold blood. He KILLED a Dora Milaje. He tried to MURDER Shuri the royal princess. He desecrated tradition by refusing to acknowledge that by T’Challa being alive meant the challenge was still on; which led to a Wakandan Civil War....



If they bring Kilmonger back and try to position him as the new BP the movie will fail. Ryan Coogler gotta know better than that so hopefully they have something else up their sleeve.


I’m not hype about the sequel at all. But i’m rooting for everyone involved.
