Marvel Writer John Ridley Lost His Damn Mind!

Black Panther #9 from Marvel Comics will be remembered or a very long time, for all the wrong reasons. John Ridley introduces The Colonialist villain and lost his mind in the process. Black Panther #9 is filled with on-the-nose social commentary, terrible dialogue and awful characterization. The Colonialist is one of the worst pieces of propaganda witnessed in comics in 2022. T'Challa doesn't sound or act like the character readers have known for almost 60 years. Marvel Comics writer John Ridley may have lost his mind.

ESG Investing might have everything to do with it. Basically by hiring 'diverse' employees, corporations will look 'inclusive' and therefore get more investor money.

When I looked at the Alex Ross cover of Black Panther #9 with a pink construct look, I thought this story arc involved Black Panther's arch-nemesis, Ulysses Klaw. Boy, was I wrong. It's a shame. I thought John Ridley had something with the initial arc where a Monarch with the right to dissolve its government, voices impatience over the lack of productivity in a democracy. The Wakanda Parliament discovered it's Monarch has been secretly continuing black op cells monitoring all countries all over the world. All hell breaks loose because the government fears T'Challa might turn Wakanda into a dictatorship. After having read Ridley's I am Batman...and now Black Panther, I'm questioning his fame as a screenwriter. I'm wondering if he just writes the bare bones to a script and then someone else fills in dialogue. His comic book dialogue is problematic.

This John Ridley guy is a writer who is not a comic book writer. He is not a creator of comic book characters. He is a person who is obsessed with politics. If he feels that strongly about politics, especially civil rights and Constitutional law, then he shouldn't be writing super hero comics like the Black Panther from Marvel Comics. He should be teaching a class in a college, or working for some politician who has the same political views as he does, or he should be a civil rights activist protesting against the racial injustices that were brought upon all of the American citizens in his community who are not white. But what he shouldn't be doing is writing comic books. He is not a fan of comics, he doesn't like super hero characters, and he doesn't care about Marvel Comics in particular because his mind is focused on various other things that are going on elsewhere. He is no better than Ta-Nehisi Coates. All of his comic book stories are written like bitter essays from a University professor with a chip on his shoulder.

[@CrisisComics]

You could honestly do a deconstruction of Colonialism in the world of Black Panther without resorting to lazy satire like this. "The Colony" could be a band of refugees fleeing the forces of Thanos or the Kree Empire, who hear about the protection that Earth offers and decide to settle down there. An advance group builds a fort near Wakanda because A) it's isolated from the larger population of humanity, and B) Wakanda's culture and advanced technology makes them appear more enlightened and accepting than the Russians or Americans (hence why they teleported onto Earth to avoid detection from SWORD or other agencies). They try to approach Black Panther for his blessing to stay in their land, stressing that the remainder of their people is living on borrowed time, and that their enemies are searching to pick them off. Unfortunately, the "needs" of the Colony trump respect for Earth itself, so they start mining for energy resources, hunt African animals for food with their advanced weaponry, and injure other Africans while trying to scare them away- making it clear that although they claim to want coexistence, they won't remain that way for long. T'Challa then has to marshal his forces to stop the Colony from building a space bridge and summoning the rest of their displaced army to Wakanda, but doing so would doom the rest of those aliens to die at the hands of the Kree or space pirates. Maybe T'Challa or Shuri could find a third solution that satisfies both parties (like exiling them to the Negative Zone or hooking them up with the Eternals), or they'll have to destroy the Colony and doom their kind to extinction.

[@incubustimelord5947]

A science-fiction story like that is way too intelligent for DC Comics or Marvel Comics. You are better off making your own independent comic book company, and making your own independent comic book about a sci-fi universe with various super-hero characters that tackles that subject and uses a similar way to metaphorically tell the story. A good graphic novel about it would be cool. But "mainstream" comics are way too stupid to ever write something that clever.

[@colebuckon3856]

I thought the Deep Space 9 episode “Far Beyond the Stars” did a good job with this. Captain Sisko is trapped within a vision wherein he is a struggling science fiction writer in New York in 1953, dealing with persecution and naysayers because of his race. The episode is, on paper, far more blunt about racism that many CW shows, yet it works beautifully because the racism itself is actually a metaphor. The writers of the episode used a real-world issue as an allegory for Sisko’s personal struggles, rather than the other way around, and thus managed to put a spotlight in that issue without the audience being preached to. (This also got a nice payoff in a later season, where Sisko, being one of the few people in the 24th Century who can claim to truly understand racial discrimination, is reluctant to use a holodeck program set in a time and place where black people were persecuted.)
