Saw this IMAX 3D today.
1st of all: decent but unimpressive 3D. Glad I saw it that way but don't think you're losing anything if you see it 2D.
As for the movie itself... good but not great. Which is how I felt about the first one as well.
Would I like it more if I'd been a bigger fan of...
You assume killing the character is the only way to get T'Challa out of the movie, and I don't assume that.
It's gonna be a touchy issue, but Marvel can find ways to pass the baton without killing the character...
Beloved actor as beloved character in movie important to many and you don't understand why it might look tacky to recast Boseman?
And your assumption the character will be "tossed aside" is broad speculation. We don't know what Marvel intends to do to transition from T'Challa, but I'm sure...
I don't really understand the objections. Recasting T'Challa would create a ton of animosity toward the movie, and as we all know, "Black Panther" was never one specific person anyway.
Making a different character Black Panther was the way to go...
