Let’s not forget Chadwick Boseman spent four years quietly suffering with colon cancer while making 9 films.

‘Respect’ to Big D for not recasting his role. "His portrayal is iconic and transcends any iteration of T’Challa from Marvel's past - for that reason that we will not recast," Marvel Studios pres Kevin Feige told Disney's investor day.

"His portrayal of T'Challa the Black Panther is iconic and transcends any iteration of the character in any other medium from Marvel's past -- and it's for that reason that we will not recast the character," Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige told Disney's investor day.

Let's be fair. That's absolute BS. RDJ's iteration of Ironman easily tops Chadwick Boseman's performance as the Black Panther. But Kevin Feige is playing by Woke Rules™ and therefore Chadwick, who is a minority, and dead, must now be revered above all others, regardless of his actual performance.

The movie was mediocre. Chadwick's performance was very good - not transcending, but very good. And the bizarre reaction to Wakanda and its technological advancements as being some kind of nod to black culture??? Weird stuff.

Big D has retired his (Boseman’s) role from the past and for the upcoming MCU. They will now, piece by piece, negate many past characters.“...*ANY iteration in ANY other medium from Marvel's past.**” *(They did it with the StarWars sequels).

@TT Today  12:29p JST You’re right! RDJ’s Ironman had a great ‘hero’s journey’, a ‘character arc’ over 12+ years in 22 MCU films. But, he will now become “a flashback, a hologram, A.I., etc” for Big D’s NEW ‘replacement’ character.

Thomas "RDJ's iteration of Ironman" lol, I think that was just RDJ being RDJ in a Ironman suit.

So, you're upset because Feige is praising his performance as very good, a view you agree with. Have I got that right?

Given that Luke, Han, and Leia were all in the sequel duology, can you justify this statement?

They lied about ‘reuniting the three MAIN swSaga characters’ for the sequels. They had “NO screen time together as a trio’. As stated,...piece by piece, they negated the value of the past and characters.

I'm STILL trying to find a single person who went to see Black Panther.

Despite it being declared the 12th biggest grossing film of all time....nada.

This isn't true. Leia and Han were reunited, as were Luke and Leia. And the characters (especially Luke) were recontextualised and fleshed out, given much more development that reflected the changes one would expect after years of growing older.

It would be nice if they made a third film in the trilogy, to follow The Last Jedi. I don't know why they won't.
