You do know Black Panther is a B lister right, thats far from the bottom of the barrelJohnny Novgorod said:This is a barrel.Zontar said:

Honestly, Twitter is just a place for stupid people with a keyboard who thinks their words carry influence. Her comment was beyond stupid.The Lunatic said:Saelune said:
Seriously, this kind of racist shit is completely unacceptable, anyone going along with these people should be ashamed of themselves.
Personally? Meh? The whole "Africa is future now, but, nobody knew!" thing is just a little bit too... Unbelievable.
He married Storm from X-Men, was a fairly early and prominent enough member of the Avengers, and along with Storm, filled in for half of the Fantastic Four for a time.Johnny Novgorod said:This is a barrel.Zontar said:

That is no bottom-barrel Marvel hero.
Of course they will.Hawki said:b) Why do I have the feeling that racist arseholes lurking on the Internet are going to see this and cry foul at some conspiracy theory (a black nation in Africa that's more advanced than ours? Racist! Racist! It's promoting white genocide!")? Ugh.
And on the other hands, some will see a black nation in Africa that's more advanced than ours ... yet still runs around in Dark Continent style tribal wear[footnote]INB4 someone points it out, I know there is an in-universe explanation for it[/footnote]. "Racist! Racist! it's promoting the prejudice of Africans as tribal savages!"
I hope so too.Casual Shinji said:
He's Klaw before his origin here from what I've seen.
Destined to end up with a sound weapon emitting hand and eventually a creature composed of living sound.
Hopefully he's in for the long haul because Andy is a wonderful actor and if they follow the comic enough the role could require a bit of the mocap performance he's deservedly lauded for.
As to the trailer, absolutely love the feline like movement when he's suited up and fighting.
The nation of Wakanda is looking from the glimpses to be a visually impressive spectacle.
I've got high hopes for this movie.
He already lost his lower arm in...Avengers 2 I believe. Im guessing he's already created his sound arm by the time the film starts.Mikeybb said:
I like Klaw's more human depictions. When he looks like a reject Sentinel from X-Men...meh.
I don't care about his CV, if he were an A-lister it wouldn't take 18 movies to get him to star in one.Saelune said:He married Storm from X-Men, was a fairly early and prominent enough member of the Avengers, and along with Storm, filled in for half of the Fantastic Four for a time.Johnny Novgorod said:This is a barrel.Zontar said:

I didnt say he was an A-Lister, but you are saying he is well, a nobody. And he very much is not a nobody in Marvel.
The movies started with The Avengers. Yes, ok, Iron Man...who is an original Avenger. And oh look, the films were Thor, Captain America and Hulk. For some reason Ant-Man is often given the short end of the stick though, and doesnt even star in "his" movie (Hank Pym that is, not Scott Lang).
And oh, now we're looking at the later waves of Avengers and Marvel Heroes, with Black Panther and Ms Marvel, as well as Doctor Strange and Spider-Man in his actual MCU feature. Then there is Luke Cage and Iron Fist in the Netflix scene and well, no Wolverine for MCU sadly but I think The New Avengers will manage without him.
Truth be told, neither Iron Man, Thor or even Captain America were household names with non-comic book reading audiences before the MCU, with the Hulk probably coming closest. Although all 4 were better known than Black Panther, and certainly are now.Johnny Novgorod said:
Spider-Man is probably the only MCU character who already had real A-list mainstream recognition on the level of a Batman or Superman pre-MCU.
That said, I do like that Marvel is willing to take chances with some of their lesser known or more 'out there' characters. Although that probably has to do with many of the bigger names being tied to the X-Men or Fantastic Four, and thus to Fox.
True that but even I knew about the Avengers well before Marvel started churning out the movies, and I've never touched a single of their comics or even watched the 90s cartoons. That even my mom knows about them tells me they're fairly popular. It's when you wheel out "Black Panther" (who?) that I start hearing the bottom of the barrel getting scraped.Chimpzy said:
Meh, arguably that already started with the decidedly d-lister Guardians of the Galaxy.Johnny Novgorod said:
At least Black Panther can lay claim to having been a member of the Avengers and Fantastic Four at some points.
Still kind of amazes me that at one point someone at Marvel went "You know who need to make a movie about? That one team with the guntoting talking raccoon and the walking tree that can only say his name." At which point the rest of the board room probably went "Wait, what? Who?"
