damn...I dunno how to feel about What If overall but "the difference between you and me is that you can't see the difference between you and me...!"
MBJ ain't a great VA lol.
I liked the episode, but it further exemplified why I'm not a fan of this animation style in action.
Last episode of What If shows better what is wrong with Killmonger ideals than the BP movie itself, which is sad
Are different animation studios helping with different episodes? The facial animations during dialogue seemed more off than in past episodes.
I disagree, though this wasn't his best VA performance. He's way better in Gen;lock.
Also I felt like Jeffrey Wright was talking to the audience about Chadwick at the end there, and I teared up.
He would have been great, even moreso than Tony I think. :(I truly hate this. Seeing him in action in this episode just twisted the knife. I wanted T'Challa to be the main character in the MCU going forward-the way Tony had been.

Yeah. Chadwick would've made such a perfect face for the next generation of the MCU, though I feel like he would more be taking Cap's place as the heart of the MCU vs. the brain that Tony was.
I honestly don't think there's anyone left that can fill that void.
You have Sam litterally taking Cap's place. I think Mackie can be the heart.
I don't think Mackie is nearly a good enough actor for that, and Sam is a very boring character. Chadwick was special in a way that nobody else in the MCU came close to.
Her reality miiiight be the one where every Avenger got murdered.
I would have agreed about Makie before FAWS. I think he really shined in that.
it is an interesting point. I suppose we will never know what the "original" Black Panther 2 was going to be about? If it was even written before he passed.
I definitely liked him in the scenes with Isaiah, but I just can't buy him as the frontman for the entire MCU. There's a certain level of screen presence you need for that and I feel like Evans, Downey and Boseman were the actors who had that. Holland doesn't have it, Ruffalo doesn't have it, Cumberbatch's performance is too bristly for it, and they so horribly bungled Carol Danvers' character in her intro film that even an Oscar winner like Larson probably won't have it. Hell, even Hemsworth really only clicked with people once he pushed his character into self-parody.
It seems so clear that Boseman was their choice to be the franchise's lead moving forward, and losing him has kind of rendered Phase 4 a little...I don't know, rudderless?
I don't think there was going to really be a frontman for the MCU the way Steve and Tony were. Especially after Shang-Chi I think they're setting up three pillars. You got your earth based normal stuff, you got your earth based magical stuff, and you have your cosmic stuff. They'll collide now and then, but I don't think it's going to be as "neat" Phase 1-3 were.
Lol at saying Gen:Lock MBJ can't voice act in a series where Sebastian Stan just dryly reads off the script.
I don't understand the posts about how Killmonger's goal was never to be the Black Panther. My take is that after T'Challa died his mom assumed the role of the military general, but otherwise the Black Panther is Wakanda's highest military position. With Killmonger in that role he's in the position to make the decisions about exporting Wakadan technology to black people around the world, which is his goal
Man, imagine Sam and T'Challa headlining the MCU… that would've been amazing.I would have agreed about Makie before FAWS. I think he really shined in that. No, he was no Boseman, but I still think he could pull it off well enough.
I think Michael B Jordan is a known weeb and I wonder if the writers knew that.Killmonger being a weeb was something that I didn't know I needed
Probably Party Thor.
