The Black Panther Suit...Is It Fit For Royalty?

The Black Panther Suit...Is It Fit For Royalty?

Today Marks The First Time Ever We Have Ever Seen A Photo Of The Black Panther Offically In Live Action, But It Is His Suit That Is Getting All Of The Attention!

Since 2006 I have been checking the internet every day about two characters and the idea of them having a live action film. One was Captain America, my childhood favorite superhero, and the other was The Black Panther my adulthood favorite superguy. I've seen Captain America come to the screen to my delight several times now, but The Black Panther is taking a little bit longer, and I still or should I say we still wait for the King of Wakanda.
   Since April 27th when the Captain America: The Civil War first started to film, I scope all of the websites in hopes of just a glimpse of The Black Panther. For those a little slow at math that's almost three months of scoping already. I have also been waiting to see Chadwick Boseman as The Black Panther on set, after all he was the actor that I picked for T'Challa right here on comicbookmovie.com in an article called from one hero to the next, before 42 had even hit theaters.
   So today when I searched the net and I saw a picture of The Black Panther standing on a got damn rooftop finally filming a scene in a movie...I wouldn't have cared if he had on a pair of Michael Jordans on, a fur coat, and a a straw hat as long as I knew that that was The Black Panther and he is finally on his way to the Marvel Movie Universe. Now instead I have to read and hear about a bunch of belly aching. When by now I think we all know how movies work. This costume is not "THE COSTUME"! This was strictly for the stunt double to run, jump, and mess up in. Did you see the fat little stunt double by the way? He is fat and skinny at the same time, (no disrespect by the way) he must be a very talented stunt man the way they had him jumping through buildings chasing The Winter Soldier.

   People come on! most of you claim to be movie experts and you really think this is how The Black Panther is going to look? Have you ever heard of CGI? I mean this is Marvel Studios and this is a hundred multi million dollar film...the same company who brought you a gun shooting raccoon and a talking giant tree, a flying man of armor and a 2,000 lb. muscle bound Shrek. If you look close enough you can see the red dots on his mask... I mean if you want to. Oh but I am sure some of you would like to think that The BP is going to look like a Power Ranger on a budget, but mark my words you will all be the same ones on here when the trailer hits going crazy over The BP.
   I watched everyone complain over Chris Evans being cast as Captain America and how much you didn't like his suit, and now he is everyone's favorite Avenger. I mean make your mind up...it's cool to be sheep and follow the leader, where everyone is complaining about something and then you all pile on, but it's not cool to be Sheep when the sheep think they are Lions. In closing I'm sure more set photos will be released of The Black Panther especially when Chadwick Boseman is in costume, and just watch not only will the quality of the costumes increase, but so will the opinions of these people complaining. So ba ba black sheep keep watching The Black Panther. Maybe I said all of these things because I am so passionate about The Black Panther, and him and Marvel can do no wrong in my eyes, but I truly believe and I have to believe that The Black Panther will look like the concept art moving running and fighting during the Civil War.

i agree with u GAB, but what people arent realizing is that the stunt suits are usually different from the official suits worn by the actors.....so trust me, Black Panther is gonna look as spectacular and glorious as we all hope he will....

I think the fashion should be similar to things like the stuff in the links above, mixed with some more futuristic concepts. Also the inclusion of more African tribal patterns would be great as well, as I think Wakanda would be even MORE connected to their roots as they weren't disconnected in any way through colonialism.

My dream would be for them to enlist Steven Ellison, aka Flying Lotus, to score the film, at least alongside another more experienced composer. His music has elements of all different types of black music. His music is not only a representation of afro-futurism, but is a complete mash of various sounds that all stemmed out of the african diaspora. Plus he's already scored a film with John Boyega and Keke Palmer that got a lot of good reviews at Sundance, but hasn't been wide released yet.

And btw, if you're hating on the BP suit because of what it looks like in on version of one scene on set then you're an idiot. Not only will they probably shoot the same scene from different angles with different costumes, or already have, but that's not the same suit Chadwick will wear or that we'll see in the film.

For everyone making the DC does it right argument, DC's costumes will be enhanced by CGI even more so than this, considering the capes are all CGI for almost every scene in the film. Besides, those Batman set pics we got were from scenes where it was crucial to get up close on Batman, so they had to give the stunt double a detailed costume. This shot obviously is from a different angle and different distance so they can get away with a quick stunt double suit that's not up to par with the regular.

Why is Cap's suit better in these set pics? Well obviously they'll be focusing more close in on Cap's suit in this particular shoot. It's obvious. You're a dumbass if you still think this suit will suck after all of the amazing points and logic stacked up against you, some of which pointed out in this article.

I love this editorial. The whining on that thread about how baggy it was and not skin tight, was astronomical. Then idiots wanted to compare it to other set pics where the costume was unfinished as well saying how much they look better. I try not to argue with fools but that shit was crazy ridiculous. Thanks for posting this.

Flying Lotus would be super awesome if they did the score. I love their music, and would definitely work for a Wakandan style theme.

...then you do not understand how movies work. The costume we get WILL be the one from the concept art show at the press conference last year seeing that most of the suits look like said art in most circumstances. As pointed out above, it is just a suit to get messy and be flexible to move ...thus why touching it up with CGI is necessary. You are just being negative because you think that makes you unique ...which takes me to...

@Razorface
It isn't his fault that people on this site behave like sheep. I have been, mostly lurking, here fore about a year and a half now and it is silly how much bandwagon jumping goes on here. For example, the Fox-Men complaint. Throughout most of DOFP cycle, everyone was bitching about how Singer is terrible and he ruined the X-men for the big screen, revert rights back, yadda yadda yadda. But suddenly when DOFP comes out, EVERYONE praises how great it is with the negative comments being nowhere to be seen ...until early rumblings of Apocalypse begins. Then it is like Days Future Past, The Wolverine, and First Class never happened again. More proof? How about when Man of Steel got mixed reviews, we had a FULL YEAR of editorials, all like the others, about how critics were wrong all with the same flimsy points that don't hold water. Editorials in general pretty much follow the same suit. Spider-Man is in the MCU universe, there is ONLY SPiderman editorials until the FF movie comes out ...and now there is article after article of why the FF is bad and how to fix it. None offering new insight other than everyone agreeing it sucks. Lest we forget about the people who post their "Top Ten Favorite CBM's" even though their lists are RARELY different from anyone else's. Nolan trilogy is number one even though no other movies are judged as a series, Guardians is number 3, Avengers is never lower than number five, Spider Man 2 ranges from 4 to 6, WatchMen is normally 9 or 10 ...with MoS either falling into the number 2 spot or a spot somewhere in 7 to 10 depending on how much they want to force a square peg in a round hole. I guarantee that if a news story goes up about the female Ghost Busters, the first ten or so comments will be teh same thing: all-female cast is terrible and unfunny ...usually mixed in vomit gifs in response to Mccarthy. Classy.

My point here is, yes, people on this site behave like sheep and the author has every right to call people out on it. People need to start having an opinion of their own, OUTSIDE of their fanboy camp, and not be so predictable and repetitive in how they behave. Also, they need to grow up as part of the reason they behave like sheep is that they all have the same mentality of everything is the worst ...which is a major young person or uneducated adult mindset.

"also why didn't they make a shitty baggy looking Bat suit for Afflecks Stunt double, if they could just CGI it later?? lol"

And therein lies the rub. Maybe you aren't being negative for attention or being unique ... but that quote (as well as your user name) entails an agenda. This behavior was displayed when Michael Douglas was cast as Hank Pym. ...it is also the same tactic applied by Fox News. Take something in theory and pan it to death as if it is the finished product while comparing it to something you are partisan to. It is tough to do with a finished product, but it is exceedingly easy to do with something that is incomplete. It is easy pickings basically.

The fact is this: Marvel and D.C, despite the similarities on the surface, shoot things much differently. Because D.C shoots one thing one way, doesn't make it the ONE right way or vice versa. Over the years, we have seen Marvel shoot with incomplete costumes or props: the Vision, Ultron, Iron Man, Groot, Rocket, etc. In fact, Age of Ultron was not completed after shooting because of this. There were a lot of things that they were going to add that they didn't. Just because Snyder has decided to shoot with a complete suit, doesn't mean that EVERYBODY does or should, for that matter.

Do yourself a favor, stop posting based on your bias and your instinctual "THIS IS SHIT!" mentality. Look at things more objectively with logic and reason. If Marvel has proven anything, it is that most of the stuff that seems iffy, normally translates fairly well on screen ...at least to the point where it doesn't lose its core audience.

Before X-Men First Class came out I already hated what was being done, especially with all the continuity issues. One of the biggest complaints about the X-Films is how different they are from the source material. I even wrote an article on how there is a double standard because the X-Films get bashed for source material changes, yet no one seems to mind the changes in the MCU films, and there are tons! The article wasn't hating on either franchise. I even listed several changes made to both franchises in a comparison to show just how much both were changed.

Guess what? I somehow got accused of trying to write an undercover article to promote First Class. Lol. Simply by showing that both franchises make changes, someone found some way to accuse me of being pro X-Films, even though i provided examples for both films. The fanboys are so delusional its scary.

My own opinion? I've been sorely disappointed with every single X-Film that has come after X2. Including First Class and DoFP. I just can't stand that these movies about the X-Men only focus on 4 characters, 3 of which aren't even members of the team. (Sure Xavier could be considered an X-Man, but he isn't in the field team.) But putting all the focus on Wolvie, Mystique, Magneto, and Xavier, and then just pushing the actual X-Men into the background is a serious injustice. Just my two sense.

To get back on topic though, fanboys are insane. They will take an hinest opinion of someone and somehow twist it around to make that person look like they are biased, because heaven forbid someone have a different opinion than them without being a "hater" or "biased", right?

Its gotten to a point where i barely comment here anymore. I've been an active member for almost 6 years now and this newer generation of members is just unreasonable. Not all of them of course, but a lot of them. I blame it on immaturity.
