I feel like they would have if they hadn't already made the decision to not recast T'Challa. So like, they've made their position clear that they're dedicated to this cast.

They don't feel all that similar to me. Its like saying they should recast T'Challa because they did recast Rhodey. They're significantly different circumstances with different possible reactions.

But its certainly possible that they just didn't want to draw attention or further muddy things by losing two of the stars of their first film (three counting Michael B Jordan). Its also entirely possible they just felt it could blow over especially since she at least seemed to shut up after that initial thing. If Wright is causing some kind of problems on set then that math probably changes but its mostly just a one line blurb at the moment so who knows?

Its also entirely possible that with T'Challa gone they could just kind of phase Shuri and that family out of the picture if they're so inclined.

I think Marvel's pretty wary about how they handle Black Panther films compared to their other IP. Black Panther was a massive hit with a new demographic for the MCU, and then their wildly beloved star died in a very tragic way. Bringing the boot down on Letitia Wright could create a PR problem for them that Disney doesn't really know how to handle. They could boot Edgar Wright because they were (mistakenly) confident they knew how to wrangle nerds back into theaters, but they might not be confident they can do the same for Wakanda Forever without Boseman and with Wright raising hell.

Do you live in an alternate timeline where Ant-Man didn't make $500 million?

My favorite response was in the first version of that post (because after the backlash they took it down and put up tweet with a slightly more positive spin) that was the Squidward meme and the text said "we gently caress monsters here sir".

It's about time for my once per decade ban for being a consistently terrible poster.
Like when Eddie becomes Venom again after Flash Thompson he feels inferior because Flash was so much better at being Venom and made the symbiote so much happier and it's not even subtext that it's written as a dude feeling insecure someone else hosed his ex better. They have a wildly co-dependent and destructive relationship.

And then Flash became a massive dragon and rose from the dead, so you know......really had to work to make Eddie feel relevant there.

Just got done being the main character of the mini-event Extreme Carnage. Will almost definitely be in Ewing/Ram V's Venom in some capacity since it looks like he's become the default leader of Earth's symbiote-based heroes.

I think the funnest thing to do would have a Wakanda arm of SWORD and Shuri gets to be Space Panther and the rest of her contract can be fulfilled via holozoom.

They're already got an Ironheart in production so they'll shift Riri into the Shuri slot. Hell maybe Riri hacks hacks Wakanda server at Oakland Wakanda STEM Academy and she gets Iron Panther tech.

When I took my cousins to see The Last Airbender, the little theatre we went to didn't have a whole bunch of 3D trailers, so they ran one for the at the time latest Resident Evil movie. Way more entertaining than the movie itself to be fair though, especially one of my cousins being shocked/impressed/horrified by the majini mandible mouth.

Eh, specious comparisons that have no value outside of a brief laugh are Last Week Tonight's bread-and-butter.

I'm not even saying that as a knock against LWT, to be clear.

e: Anyway, I bought tickets for Eternals because they went up today but I can't help but feel they've severely mismarketed this. I still don't have a good feel for whatever hook the story has. I'm sure it won't fail, but it's weird.

The Eternals couldn't shoot lasers at things because it would have interfered with humanity somehow, but now humanity can shoot lasers at things, so the Eternals can shoot lasers at things again and that's good, I guess. Or maybe bad. It's hard to tell.

Its purely guesswork but I kind of am assuming/hoping Black Knight is there in part to be like "what the gently caress, guys?"

And then the movie ends with them all going, "yeah, ok, maybe we should have done something all those times people were in danger. Our bad. Lets be heroes now." Like some kind of WW in BvS thing or something.
