Marvels had a hosed up status quo for like 10 years, I don't think we can even use that word anymore The closest Thor has had to a status quo recently is what, when his city floated in Oklahoma?

The Kree Supreme Intelligence, the Skrull Empress, J'son of Spartax, all the jerks who have led the Shi'ar including Gabriel loving Summers, Black Bolt, etc. basically if you want good and imaginative sci-fi that isn't a big purple dude punching the living concept of Order in the face, you're not going to find it at the Big 2

The last time iron man was almost back to the status quo, he got an adopted brother. T'challa has been not king since the Shuri mini came out like 5 years ago. My point being these "changes" from the status quo are lasting a really really long time now.

Tchalla abdicates during infinty...unless hes done it more than once? which like lol if he has E: and like whether its 6 months or 3 years or 6 it doesn't matter cuz uh, it gets reverted. Which is why i said he'll always (in the long game) be king so wakanda will never change to republic/democracy/whatever site fucked around with this message at 03:05 on Dec 25, 2017 |

I'd rather give him RYV, since he's gone on record how much he loves the Spider-Marriage, and he would basically not have to worry about any crossover malarkey getting in the way of telling his story.

Just make Wakanda transition into a constitutional republic, but also give the Panther a role in government beyond just being a figurehead, like speaker of the equivalent of the House of Lords or something, plusachillesforever6 posted:Black Panther should basically be Thomas Sankara imo this.

Lurdiak posted:None of that poo poo has the same ring as "King of Wakanda". He's still the king though? That's why I said he should still have an active role in government. It makes Wakanda more democratic, plus it allows him to have more time to adventure while still conflicting with that and generating angst.

The UK is an constitutional monarchy, but the Queen of England is still the Queen of England. T'Challa's branding will survive.

Good timing on this what with the Spider-man animated movie coming out I think Marvel needs to keep things more in the status quo when big movie marketing is in effect. Your probably getting a lot of people interested in Black Panther comics now and it's going to be super weird when things go all Star Wars

From my perspective, I think Bendis wanted to be the one to do that story, because he probably figured "When I'm gone, someone's going to do this story. So I might as well do it right, and not have it be for wrong reasons." Like how Morrison killed Damian

Lets be fair about what Covok mentioned: Bendis has done worse to Miles this year than having him retire the name Spider-man. That said, i'm just really hoping that whoever takes over ignores it and has Miles be Spider-man regardless.
