Yeah, they learned their lesson after the somewhat tumultuous times in phase 1 and 2. They struck gold with Winter Soldier. And they needed it with Whedon departing and the Thor and IM franchises tearing through directors. And future movies like Ant-Man were already a meme. People take it for granted how much the MCU could have failed, even after the Avengers hit it big. It's not as easy as they make it look; surely, they've struggled plenty and at times it was very public.
Honestly one of my favorites comic moments.
Still the best OT title suggested.
He made good on the promise as well
Didn't he create the Cabal after miraculously surviving this assassination attempt by T'Challa? T'Challa wanted Namor dead for the flooding of Wakanda, but he really lost his shit when Namor said, "Fuck it." and killed a few billion people by blowing up that other Earth.
But before that, when it was only the Wakanda stuff, I love how matter of fact T'Challa was in this page:

What arc is this, I need some good BP runs since I haven't read for years and TBH, I never read that much, an issue here or there, Luke Cage MAX was more my thing.
It's from the Jonathan Hickman Avengers/New Avengers run. One of the GOATs and features lots of T'Challa greatness.
Oh shit, would that also be the Infinity Hickman run?
Infinity is an event series that's part of that run, yeah.
Although if you're gonna read it I have to recommend starting with his Fantastic Four run because it's just as good.
Yeah, and Infinity works a lot better when taken in the whole context of Hickman's run.
Let me spoil something that happens near the end of it, but it is too badass.
Doctor Doom casually one hit killing Namor before taking on an Infinity Gauntlet wielding Black Panther. Because BP was the only person to give Doom any trouble up until that point. Not even the Phoenix Force or Thanos were giving Doom an issue, but T'Challa rocking that Gauntlet made him see things very differently.
EDIT: Hickman knew how to write Black Panther so well. Same with Doom and the FF.

Well to be fair, I read the Infinity TPB on comixology already, it was pretty good.
One my other favorite moments between Doom and BP, would be when Doom encounters the Spirit of Wakanda that guards the vibranium.
EDIT2: favorite doom depiction is still Brubaker's Books of Doom.
EDIT3: God I hope the BP movie has some MF DOOM.
But RoyaleDuke , read Hickman's Avengers/New Avengers run. Or to make it even more epic, tack on his Fantastic Four and FF runs before that. And yes, Infinity gets much, much cooler when you have the whole build up to it.
I will, hopefully Comixology has it, if not I'm sure it will eventually or I can try the local shops.
OT: but have you read Doomsday Clock?
Haven't yet, but for the Hickman stuff you might be better off doing Marvel Unlimited for that because it is like 4-5 years of content.
Oh god. does Marvel unlimited do trials?
I still want to read the cancerverse stories. :v
Wait hold on.Yeah, and Infinity works a lot better when taken in the whole context of Hickman's run.

Doom had no trouble with Thanos? I thought Thanos flicked his finger and ended the universe because of how stupid powerful he is or something.
How is Doom on that kind of level? Is Doom another pull shit out of my ass like Batman then?
In this story, Doom is God. Literally. Well, a god.
But he no sells a full force blast from Phoenix Force before snapping Cyclops's neck for daring to attack him, and later he has a hilariously one sided fight with Thanos.
It makes sense in context, don't worry. Just as it makes sense that T'Challa pulls an Infinity Gauntlet out and fights Doom.
In a just world, it would be Slayven
Doom becomes an all-powerful literal God in Secret Wars. It's absolutely worth reading the entire Hickman run to see how it all plays out.

since you went all caps I must concur that we need DOOM doin the BP score
and also co-starring
Everything Hickman did from the start of his F4 run was the greatest.
You are in my head.
He'd just be called The Supervillain.
or...
Reprise his role from Perfect Hair Forever as Geoffrey the Giraffe.
When was the last time a superhero movie was a cover of TIME?
I have to be honest-my eyes watered up when I saw this cover. The review is great too:
It's gonna be interesting to see what they do with the X-Men. I'm not sure how they can handle that and keep the current X-Men timeline going. Or timeline(s), whatever it is. Shit is confusing.
Oh sorry, misread your comment. I only meant that they'll do a full reboot of the current X-Men timeline. Whatever they do with X-Men will be reworked to fit within the constructs of the modern MCU.
Well yes, best case scenario lol.
Solo movie or not, I want Storm to be introduced as part of the African landscape, before being transplanted to the States. Could be a good character comparison between T'Challa and Erik Kilmonger.
Oh yes-I agree. They're never rebooting the MCU but they will completely disregard the Fox movies.
I really hate when comic book writers have villains say insanely fucking dumb shit like this.
During Time Runs Out, with the multiverse dying, Doom went on a mission and used Molecule Man to suck Beyonder's power and become a god. The Beyonders were killing the multiverse.
He then recreated Battleworld with various regions representing different universes in the Marvel universe.
Hickman was writing Secret Wars, which is the final event to his whole run at Marvel, while all the writers were writing different stories representing different parts of Battleworld.
I think Feige said introducing X Men as a whole would take a very long time since they have the MCU planned out for the next few years. But they could definitely start introducing or showing cameos here and there
This is hilarious.
Well it is nice to hear that the villain is actually good but I'll remain cautious and keep my expectations down.
As others pointed out, wonder how many of the reviewers are being honest and how many are just giving it a fresh rating for the obvious reasons.
Yes, really. Hell hath no fury like rabid internet fans, now there's socio in the mix.
Let that rage flow through you man. I'm not white.
I know what you mean. They only gave The Dark Knight good reviews because Heath Ledger died. Probably giving Black Panther good reviews because its the death of white super hero movies in general.
Rip honest film criticism. 1889-2018.
