Use your keystrokes to write your own story.

You know exactly what the list of problems with this story are.

So now you can write a really good story yourself.

Here's how we'll judge your story. If I ever hear about it I will tell you what I think.

Cause I don't think anyone will ever

Ever

Ever

See your vision come to life.

But if it becomes a thing that exists, I will happily listen to it.

Then wait for the franchise to grow and then put it under the microscope :yeshrug:. I think over analyzing every detail is taking away from where we are right now.

:jbhmm:
I'm not talking about the movie I'm talking about 20+ years of comic cannon.
I'll reserve my thoughts on the movie when I go see it Sunday.

No:ld:

Why? Because I'm not a writer(I don't even like making character names) :ld: ...not that big a fan of the comic medium also:francis: ...videogames are a different ball tho :ehh:


That said...:jbhmm:
Constructive Thoughts:
If I had to make an "ultimate universe" type change to wakanda/black panther to make it fall in line without changing the core of the 30 year lore to far ...I would do something like...:jbhmm:

  • Make wakanda ether a society(sorta like Ekpe/okonko society in nigeria) or keep wakanda the country and add the society function on top
  • Instead of the couple of villages in wakanda the society would consist of representatives from traditional ethnic rulership/spiritual traditions across the African peoples.
(yoruba, vodun, dogon, serer, hatian vodun, zulu Sangoma, Candomblé, Santería, Louisiana Vodun)

Every tradition would have representatives under wakanda who would be trained in wakanda proper then sent back(home), as a result there would be wakanda bases all over Africa and the diaspora. These bases and individuals would serve as.
  • wakanda intelligence gathering network
  • global rapid reaction forces to external threats
  • internal corruption police force
  • etc etc
From that foundation writers could tell stories relevant to all African peoples and let black panther be like the super agent he essentially already is. With that small change above, they could keep his previous adventures pretty much intact because all thats being done is expand on wakandas boarders. AU is a Union of African nation-states, while wakanda is a Union of African ethnic/religious groups ...essentially a shadow of each other.

I could rock with that setup ok.:patrice: ....:ehh:

Actually that would be a good read :ehh: ...especially as it pertains to the extent to which Gotham citizens accept revolving door crime:jbhmm:

Gotham has a bat demon underneath that draws chaos. While it was organized crime initially, when Batman came out to stop it, it drew in super criminals to balance him. It would do the same if it were superman or wonder woman defending gotham
