The First Black Panther was celebration of Black PEOPLE men and Women.

T'Challa- Sister was smarter than him in tech. His Girlfriend was better at seeing the world then him. Remember he reached out to the world like SHE wanted. His Mom was Angela Bassett.

The Dora Milaje where better than male at the the Boarder to the point where Okoye was able to controls dude's Rhino. That is like womeone coming to your house and telling your dog what do.

You're sounding very hotep right now fam

going by the promo pic comparison. from the first photo

2 of the black men aren't in the movie
one of them dies in the movie
another dies in real life
another is a traitor in the movie

i can't go straight to "black men erasure" under these conditions

Marvel is up there literally whitewashing black male characters and I get attacked for saying hey . The black male representation in this movie doesn't look too good. When I get a chance I am going to close this, but I am going to save by post.

If in November I am proven right I would say so, but I don't think I will be.

This was posted as I was typing.

What black male character did Marvel whitewash in reference to Wakanda Forever? Please place behind a spoiler warning if it is rumors about the plot that haven't been revealed yet. I do know about Namor being a villain, other than that I have stayed away from Wakanda Forever spoilers.

Are you calling there being less black man and more black women white washing?

In your own statement you highlighted non black new character that was heavily marketed but said he couldn't count. And M'Baku isn't a new character so why isn't he being heavily marketed.

Nope, that's not how this works. You mentioned multiple times that there are multiple new characters being heavily marketed, now prove it.
So far, there's a single new character being heavily marketed. And it's not because he's not a black man, it's because he's the movie's villain and a highly anticipated character amongst the fanbase. But fine, let's give you Namor. You got one.
Now are you going to list other examples of new characters being marketed or are you just going to keep trying to dodge this?

hot take - the best replacement for the black panther should have been Bucky/The Winter Soldier

* He was already a good guy
* He was already familiar with wakanda and its traditions and science
* He already LIVES in wakanda
* The wakandans accepted him, they even named him 'White wolf'
* He already has powers and a cool metallic arm
* He owes gratitude to wakanda (they fixed him up)
I can't think of a single reason he shouldn't have been the next black panther

Namor will be played here by Mexican actor Tenoch Huerta, previously seen in The Forever Purge and Tigers Are Not Afraid with this incarnation of the character inspired by the culture and history of Mesoamerica. You can take Atlantis from Greek myth, or you can adapt from a real culture, argues Huerta. Rather than the ruler of Atlantis, on the screen hes the ruler of Talocan and hes drawn to the surface by the ramifications of TChallas decision in Black Panthers final reel to reveal the truth of Wakanda to the world. That decision puts Talocan in jeopardy,

It basically boils down to "There is already a comic blockbuster movie about a king from Atlantis, so we change it up and try to look good in the process"

Remember when Jen was attacked by a gang of thugs to steak her blood? They are called the Wrecking Crew and they are from the comics.

One of them used a ball and chain which was a reference to Thunderball. He is a black guy in the comics but a white guy in the show. This has got TC really mad because apparently Thunderball is supposed to be known as the Black Bruce Banner.

yea, I've got to agree with the others as to why there are less black male characters in the first movie than the second, for both in-universe reasons and real life ones.

as for why we don't see any new characters on stage, outside of Namor, it's because Namor is going to be one of the main characters (probably the most prominent outside of maybe Shuri).

this isn't a good example of black male erasure; it's just, unfortunately, the star died and the franchise has to continue without him.

I don't think it was intended to be anything more other than a cute reference to some D-Grade comic book characters. The actor for Thunderball is a stuntman.

^ tbf, Namor is a significant Marvel character, so we'll most likely see more of him in the future; also being the lead.

edit: kinda like how Black Panther was introduced in an antagonistic manner, but became the face of a huge franchise.

Bucky unironically would have been a better Black Panther than antivax bitch

For real though, would have been fine with Okoye, Nakia (i think that's her name) or M'Baku and yet they picked the worst option

I think Namor is in a similar situation as Hulk where they can use the character but Universal has some sort of rights if they attempted to make a movie based around him. So he probably won't be a lead.

He'll probably be in a lot of stuff though yeah.
