Can you tell who this
Marvel Character is?
What about if we give you"marvel-us" people a couple hints?
- Hails from the African-kingdom of Wakanda
- Taught by his father T'Chaka always said to stay two steps ahead of enemies and three steps behind friends.
- Saw the world's super-beings a "threat" to his homeland
- Marries one of the original "X-Men"
THAT'S RIGHT! IT'S T'CHALLA, OTHERWISE KNOWN AS,......
BLACK PANTHER
With Phase 3 announced for Marvels' cinematic universe, this leaves the public very excited, but nervous for the many films to come. Questions have arisen such as, "Will Marvel be able to entertain audiences with films such as Ant-Man or another Incredible Hulk Movie?" The new announcements include Guardians of the Galaxy 2, Inhumans, Doctor Strange, and Black Panther. The directors and film-makers were able to captivate movie-goers' with the mainstream hero movies,... but will this trend further increase or maintain? Or will Marvel see a decrease in the number of viewers who go to these movies that are about heroes not as widely advertised or commonly-known like Captain America, or Ironman. Will people really want to go see Captain Marvel? (July 6, 2018). This is something that troubles me, I worry that not enough of these movie-goers will continue to buy into this fictional world where super-beings save the day.
Will I continue to go see these movies as they unfold? Bet on That!

One cool thing to keep in mind about T'Challa is that he was the first mainstream black-superhero that was introduced. as well as a chief of a hidden tribe that is located somewhere in Africa. This homeland Wakanda is important and relative to the Avengers from in the United States because this country sits atop of the largest vibranium depository in the world.
You guys' remember what vibranium is right?!
- Captain America's shield was composed of vibranium!
It is exciting to see that Chadwick Boseman will be playing the role of T'Challa when the Black Panther movie hits the screen November 3, 2018. This is a long time off, but these motion pictures take so much preparation and planning that the public almost needs this much time to let the hype build up! Check out the following tables for a better breakdown of Phase 2, and Phase 3 for Marvel.
Fun Fact! Can you guys' guess which other Marvel character is from Wakanda?!
While I was never an avid comic book reader I'm sure that there is some of this in the them as well, but I love the inter-connectivity between all of the different parts of marvel. This includes the connections between the ending Guardians of the Galaxy and Thor and the above tribe placement on top of a vibranium deposit. While it is a somewhat common storytelling technique it is done well throughout their universe. Your thoughts on that?
ReplyDeleteI am glad that despite not being a comic book reader you can appreciate how Marvel-Us the inter-connectivity appears to be. Every corner adds into another corner as though the public is slowly building one giant Marvel puzzle. My thoughts are that I am blown-away by how specific the details are on this matter. From the movie in Captain America, if you're an avid comic-book reader you can actually see the character who plays Peter Quil (Star-Lord's) mom, even though Guardians of the Galaxy was not even released for producion yet at that time. Stay posted!
