State of Wakanda: The Black Panther Discussion

[Brandon McKinnis]

I love that so many actors are just chomping at the bit to play T'challa.

Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje from Lost says he hopes his performance in Thor 2 gets Marvel to cast him as Black Panther.

He's a damn good actor, and depending on how he looks in Thor 2, he might be able to play off a role in a Black Panther film, but at this point, I think he's too old to play T'Challa himself (at least as far as franchise stuff goes). He'd be a very good T'Chaka or Azzuri (in a WW2 flashback) though.

I wouldnt mind him as Panther. He would exude a toughness and intelligence. Whomever Marvel chooses I think would do a fine a job..as long as the script and cinematic direction were equally good.

I like this idea as well.

People didn't like the 8-bit Mega Man revival? I thought they were dope, but I'm not a "fan" per se.

I think Genki is referring to the anger expressed over the version of Megaman in Street Fighter X Tekken. Fans thought they would finally have a non-Volnutt version of Megaman in a fighting game, and instead, they were stuck with "that".

Mega Man 9/10 came out what 2009/2011 and were download games when since that is a franchise series it's odd it didn't get the usual physical release. There's also the last minute cancelation of Mega Man Legends 3 and Mega Man Universe( which both happened when Kenji Infunie the creator of Mega Man left Capcom ), I think the last physical release a Mega Man game got was ZX or the Zero collection and both I'd those are DS games.

There's also what Boosh mentioned about SFxT( a game to rage about in general ), hell I think they rage over Mega Man more then they did over the new Devil May Cry game( which I can't wait to play this Friday )

Oh yeah can we buy BP for that new Marvel game yet? I use to play that companies Super Hero Squad game all the time( last time I did I bought Miles/Miguel O'Hara/T'Challa )

Just read NA #2 and I thought it was great. I thought all of the characters were featured very well and I thought T'Challa was great. I like that he still seems to be the main focus of the series and there were some nice Wakandan elements thrown in there.

Yeah, those cancellations still sting.

Say it ain't so, bro. Say it ain't so....

Yeah it's true, I like what Ninja Theory did with that license

Ahem...

*Darth Vader Voice*
NNNNNOOOOOOOoooooo!!!

Although...knowing me, since I love DMC I'll probably get it too. I'll just mute the sound during the "Try Hard Edgy" cutscenes.

They were cheesy when the franchise started.

Capcom "Master of Unlocking" Games aren't noted for thier dialogue.

As far as a BP movie goes, that's Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje and Michael Jai White who are actively campaigning for the role, as far as I know.

If Schillinger can be J. Jonah, then who knows.

Things are looking quite a bit better than they did 5 moths ago. Let's hope that Marvel delivers when it's time to, because I'm not giving them another chance.

People didn't like the 8-bit Mega Man revival? I thought they were dope, but I'm not a "fan" per se.

As a huge Mega Man fan back in the day, I detest both 9 and 10, but it has little to do with the Graphical Downgrade. At some point, Inafune decided that Mega Man 2 was the holy grail of the series and that the games need to go back to that standard, which only works if you think Mega Man 2 was the best game of the series. I don't, so I was alienated from these games before they were released.

Global I'm glad you brought that up because I was close to posting the Schibatta rape scene but just knew you would have deleted that!


James Jonah Jameson is more of a caricature while Black Panther is someone with character.


Triple J is borderline villain to Spiderman considering all the negative press he has given him so J.K. Simmons was perfect for the role.


Adibisi was a force of nature on OZ in which he went way over the top until Siad killed him off.


It's hard to come back from full frontal nudity, tossed salads and...

This will come up as he tours around on Letterman, Leno and eventually Oprah promoting the movie and it will be difficult to separate him from all those classic moments on Oz.


He can do the villain roles and the occasional sidekick hero types but to be "THE" star of Black Panther his resume will get some shine and Adibisi was his best role by far and will standout like a sore thumb.


You realize that some of that stuff is borderline snuff porn!


Let's get back to Djimon, Chiwetil or one of them young wet behind the ears black actors that Disney uses on those cheesy shows before we go with Mr. Echo.


(Wouldn't want that fight scene with Killmonger to turn into a Rykers Island punk em' out session now would we?)
