BLACK PANTHER: WAKANDA FOREVER Star Letitia Wright Unsure When Shuri Will Return But Has An Intriguing Idea

Deep.

@TempleRod

Nothing like sharing misinformation because you’re a religious zealot. More of them need platforms 🤝🏻

She is a talented actress but the video she tweeted was beyond stupid.

@TempleRod - Shouldn't you be religious if you don't "believe" in vaccines?

@TempleRod - Letitia wasn't speaking her "own realizations". She retweeted a bad video, realized her mistake, deleted it and apologized. She became a victim of an overwhelming misinformation campaign when she was vulnerable, dealing with her chronic depression as well as the loss of Chadwick Boseman, who she loved like a brother. She has moved on, got vaccinated and talks about more positive things now.

You can stop.

@regularmovieguy - What is this shit, man? So she made a mistake, tens of thousends of people assume the right to punish her for it through harassment, insults and threats and when she does apologize you just tell yourself the studio must have forced her? How lovely.
Can I just ask what the shitstorm was meant to achieve then, if apologizing for the retweet and and deleting it doesn't even matter? Kinda leaves me to assume that people really did aim to push her into suicide. Sure was what it looked like.

And no, she didn't use her depression as an excuse. (Could have totally understood that though since that's how misinformation campaigns like anti-vax work. They indoctrinate you when you are vulnerable.) What I'm arguing is that Letitia suffering from chronic depression and experiencing suicidal tendencies in the past is very well known. She was quite open about it throughout her career. And seeing self-rightous mobs of anonymous people treat someone like her in that way sure made me rethink a lot of things.

@ObserverIO - God, no!

@Drace24 - You really think they are keeping the MCU another 15 years without Steve, Tony, or T'chala? yeah, because Phase 4 has worked great...

@Drace24 - SOFT reboot.
The current state of keep bringing back actors in their 60s and 80s, you think it cant last?
There has to be a new Tony Stark. Same applies to Steve, and T'Chala.

@Drace24 - I will say this. Doing this X-Men the way this MCU is makes no sense. You can't do X-Men without the rich history it inhabits. If not for Tony and Cap, then for the X-Men alone, rebooting might help them a lot.

@EgoEgor - Yes, but big budget multi-billion dollar franchises are very different from little picture books.

@Drace24 - it just wouldn't translate as well. Thr civil rights movement was built on a few 100 years of history, it didn't just erupt from the ground. Having mutants be coming out of nowhere doesn't really have the same impact; it doesn't have the hate backend, it doesn't have the lore, it's not something that can happen in a few movies or a phase or 2.

The FoX-Men for better or worse has that. The mcu will feel its narrative impacts. Having a reboot helps speed that up and you can truly tell an X-Men story.

@Drace24 - in the first issue of x-men jean grey comes to an already formed x-men. Mutants have been around for a long time, especially considering the age of the group from teens to young adults to men. The history gives the main conflict gravitas.

I think doing this way is ultimately limiting the great stories they could tell but that's just me. I think doing the reboot really allows them to kind of regather all their properties into one cohesive world after FF4 and XMen coming, with the added benefit of Cap and Tony.

If I was Kevin, I'd find that opportunity hard to pass. Especially considering events like these are used to reboot continuity in comics a lot. Why not be the first to do that and in a way that is by choice rather than being forced by mediocrity.

I think the idea is valid, I get you don't like it for whatever reason and it might not be true at all. But I think its a great idea because it really allows them to just reset their footing with all the x-men property that really just doesn't fit.

@Drace24 - There would be no ramifications. You keep what you like, you get rid of what you don't need, and add what you think is useful. Keep all the contracts you have, but the story path changes. You have an avatar character who can fill in the blanks naturally.

You're also misunderstanding me. My complaint isn't in ancient history figures like apocalypse, although things like that are missed if they go down the route they are.

I'm talking about mutants being born mutants, and the culture of longstanding hatred for and fear of them is relevant. Otherwise they are no different than Spider-Man or Captain America.

You can't have those elements with the way this story is set. The first issues starts out with X-Men team being already made, haven been BORN mutants, and Xavier being the first mutant born who is probably 35-45 years old and not some young teenager.

Without those 2 elements, being born mutant and societal hatred, you don't have the mutants and you don't have the x-men. And you lose all the amazing stories and characters from the comics. The Ms Marvel explanation is kind of a sideway step.

Everything marvel is doing now with the x-men feels like them putting square pegs into round holes. But resetting allows them to fix that, keep what they want and change what they don't want. And have an avatar character in that new universe which keeps continuity of the old and allows writers to explain what's different through them; mutants and the X-Men being the major one. No need to force anything that doesn't fit(x-men just don't fit), it makes sense and it doesn't have any ramifications. The mutliverse really allows them to have the universe that allows them to tell the best stories. And with DCU resetting, would also be funny to see them do it first too.

If you can't see the benefit of this, I guess we're arguing for its sake. Obviously we don't know what they'll do, I just think this is a genuine good options for them, i really do.
