Man, I always had faith in Ryan Coogler. And I know this movie will be good. This trailer looks great. I was always gonna be there Day One, no matter what. Hell, I went to see the original five times in the theater, so they've already got me.
But goddammit if I still think it's a mistake not recasting.
It's not to say they can't make a good movie without T'Challa, as I genuinely think Wakanda Forever will be great. It's just all the missed opportunities with the character being written out, both within the MCU and for little black kids missing their role model. I'll try to stop lamenting what isn't to be, though.
I'm not happy, but I'll support.
