Keep in mind, this is not a post about Black Panther's future in the MCU. That will all be discussed at a later and more appropriate time. This post is to remember and honour the iconic character that was marvellously portrayed by the phenomenal Chadwick Boseman.

So feel free to discuss your love for the character, why he is important to you, your favourite scene with him, how Boseman brought him to life with perfection, his journey through the MCU, and anything else you wish.

I could do an analysis of Black Panther, and who knows, I might when it's not 12:40 AM, but I wanted to say that the scene of him yelling at his ancestors is one of the most well put-together scenes in the MCU in terms of build-up, character, effects, story, and acting. The character is this really interesting commentary on the way young people deal with their ancestor's legacies and the world they've been handed, especially regarding N'Jobu's death. I'll definitely go more in-depth about this soon (on this post, don't worry), but for now, this was why I connected with him. As a young person facing the crisis of a world we were handed, I completely understood him on that level.

So one of hardest things about Chadwick’s passing besides him no longer being with us, is the idea of T’Challa possibly being gone too. T’Challa has a lot of things to respect about him. He is brave, he is not afraid to fight for his place and take on a challenger, but he also has respect for his enemy and rather see them have a fair trial. He is the hero, who is also a king. A lot of stories often portray kings as the villain, or a coward, or both, but not often as the hero. He has love for his family, he has love for his people, and he has love for people that are not part of his kingdom too. He was a listener and while he disagreed with Kilmonger, he seem to be listening. Kilmonger might of inspire him to share more of Wakanda with others in the end. He also was serious when he needed to be serious, but also had a sense of humor too. He is great Black superhero, but I think why various people start liking him was due to Chadwick’s acting and how inspiring the character he made him to be. Also his suit is awesome and clean. Certainly one of the best suits in the MCU.

Maybe I am projecting too much, but in these current times I could go for a leader like T’Challa, even without the suit. I wish I could have met Chadwick and maybe I will...in the life after.

He cool

What else hasn't been said about this portrayal?

I still remember when they introduced Chadwick on-stage for the reveal that he would embody the king of Wakanda. I can tell you that I was hesitant, mainly because I hadn't seen his other works, and also because I thought the suit looked weird. Even so, he delivered, and the suit, it grew on me. So much so, that would prefer seeing the other suit over his solo movie one. Goes to show that one of the real heroes of the MCU is the casting director.

The accent. Oh god, the accent. Just like the other two things from above, it felt weird at the beginning, but once I learned the reason why they decided to give him an accent, all fell into place. Now, sure, I had envisioned T'Challa as the kind of diplomat who learned many languages when young, and thus would've had less of an African accent, but still, all previous portrayals of T'Challa had an accent, even if none felt like the one Chadwick used on-screen. I'd like to especifically remark on the ending of the film, where he is at the UN. There, the way he speaks, evokes the speeches of Nelson Mandela himself.

Also, as a person who not only is bilingual, but whose father taught him that same language, I love every single scene with him and John Kami. There is a sense of inside joke in that Civil War scene, that I really wish we could've seen the two of them before. Really, every key relationship in Black Panther's movie felt lived in like no other Marvel movie felt, at least for me.

I'm glad we had Chadwick portray the character, with as much gravitas and style. If anyone was going to convince me that a man in a black suit was a badass, I'm glad it was him.

I liked Black Panther so much for his cool mood and ways to go about a problem. He wasn't afraid of failure. He learned so much in CA:CW and BP.

He learned that if he went at a problem in a different way than the first time he could do it. He learned that revenge wasn't the solution, and doesn't help you. He learned about fairness (= Trying to heal Killmonger, introducing the world to Wakanda). He learned that everybody deserves a second chance (= healing Winter Soldier). He learned about his past and "corrected" (He didn't quite manage, but that wasn't his fault.) the failures of his father. He learned what it meant to be a good person, a hero, a fair king, a friend.

He reunited M'Baku's tribe with the other [4] tribes (Were it 4? Not so sure.). He didn't kill Ulysses Klaue when he had the chance. In the first place, this might have been for the people watching, but I'm 100% sure after the film he would have descided the same again, no matter people watching. He also spared Helmut Zemo. Yet we also see he can do what's necessary. He killed Killmonger when he could no different. He also knows to do teamwork, something others still need to learn (#IronMan). And his equipment is fantastic. Some might be a little spaced-out, but the most are easily explained and simply awesome.

To sum up, he's awesome.

Has Falcon ever been discussed yet? If yes, could I have the link for that discussion?
