*Wa kan I hip thrust, da* Said multiverse Namor, new king of wakanda. There is a new queen of Atlantis too. Shuri the black panther. Wakanda an Altanis is now one kingdom.

19:13 Symbiote: "No! Fire explosions, No!" Panther: "You will not". Symbiote: "It hurts you too you know." Panther: "No" Symbiote: "Eh, whatever." Writers write plot armor. Moment justifiably hardcore sick action, that makes no sense.

[@commonviewer2488]

I like the idea of legacy heroes. Allows comic writers to tell the story of a character and not have the status quo returned to by the journey's end. When all is said and done, the title passes to another writer and character who will have tales of their own.

Black Panther into Avatar TLAB comparisons are...100% applicable and yet I'd somehow never thought of before I LOVE the idea of superhero legacies, I want to see superheroes in tons of time periods, settings and genres and see how the same motifs and themes are changed and warped by different details. That shit's my jam

[@commonviewer2488]

DC sort of does this with the Justice Society, but going even further into the past would make for great content. Spiderman can totally do it. So can the X-Men, Hawkeye, Thor, etc. Villains can do it too. Have an ancient equivalent of Scarlet Witch for example.

[@mattwo7]

@@commonviewer2488 DC also has other multiversal stuff besides Earth-2/Earth 2/Earth-Two (the Golden Age universe, which of course is also where the concept of a DC Multiverse started), there's also stuff like Gotham by Gaslight (19th Century Batman vs Jack the Ripper), DC Bombshells (an alternate version of DC's WWII), Batman Ninja (Bat-family and a bunch of Gotham City villains (and Grodd) got isekai'd into Feudal Japan and their wardrobes and arsenals were adapted for the era, even Grodd's) and JLA: Age of Wonder (another 19th century Elseworlds story).

We need to learn more about the past Black Panthers, kinda like we got to learn about past Iron Fists in a certain run that is considered the best the character has ever had.

[@nickperoncomedy]

The part where Killmonger gets a pass at being the new Black Panther by T'Challa was because around that time he was suffering from a brain anurysem and met his future self who was dying because of it. It was a whole plot line involving King Solomon's Frogs. That whole thing is covered around issue 40ish of the 3rd volume of BP. It was resolved and seldom spoke of again. Easy ro miss.

[@jtverland7224]

Are those the frogs that teleport when copulating?

[@ComicDrake]

Right, the whole bit where future T'Challa was absurdly happy go lucky. I guess I didn't put together that that's why he was being so moody. I know he spent so much of his time in New York during that run, but it just still feels like a departure for the character to not care about his role as chieftain back home and handed it over to a literal mass murderer.

[@nillypc42]

Wakanda in every new run Marvel releases always looks the same and at the same time new. Same for T'Challa. I feel that the stories Marvel tells with Black Panther are deep and grounded and some might be a bit...much. Thanks for covering Black Panther, Comic Drake!

Was expecting you to mention Casper Cole. He never took the mantle officially, but he wore (a torn version of) the suit and was the protagonist of the Black Panther comics for almost a year in the last archs of Priest's run.

T’Challa acted like that with Killmonger because he was defeated by him. His stubbornness and embarrassment at the fact that he fought so hard with all his will and belief and still lost (even though Ross caused him yo lose in the first place) rankled his resolve

Also fun fact, in the comics you have to take down the current Black Panther AS THEY ARE. powers and all. It ensures that the next in line only improves upon the mantle. That's what, made T'Challa's rise to power so notable originally.

Kinda fucked up on marvel’s part back then when they changed black panther’s name because of the black panther party. Even though the black panthers were very prominent and helped the black community and taught them how they can fight back and navigate through political nonsense, said philosopher who helps with that way of thinking being Huey P. Newton who was a cofounder. There was also the main speaker or how many people believed the leader of the black panthers being Fred Hampton Jr. Who was by far the most articulate and righteous invoking leader who managed to band together all communities, not just black people. Mexicans, Asians, Native Americans, even the lgbtq. They also made many programs and mutual aids that were called “survival programs”. The Survival Programs were mutual aids that housed, fed, and educate the less fortunate/the poor. The black panthers at their all time high were the pinnacle of liberation, but due to the power of the authoritarian government we call America. Their leaders were all sought out for and hunted, killing Fred Hampton Jr. And his wife by shooting up their house while they were asleep. They tried giving Angela Davis a ludicrous sentence to jail, but failed due to her knowing her rights. They Destroyed all the survival programs and the food banks, and destroyed the school they made for the children. The black panthers were great contributors to society and were on their way to make an era of equality and egalitarian society that respects the people no matter race, gender, or sexuality.
