/r/BlackSuperheroes
Black superheroes have long been underrepresented and misrepresented compared to their counterparts. This sub aims to shine light on black superheroes and villains in all forms of media. Both mainstream and indie characters are embraced. This subreddit isn't cool enough to be in a clique yet so we ride as one.
[Rule 1] Acceptable Content
Anything and everything related to black superheroes and villains! Really simple.
Special note: Much like gun culture in the U.S., the comics and superhero community has its own weird quirks and history. That's especially evident on reddit where clique culture has always been a thing between the larger subreddits. So please refrain from bringing any BULLJIVE in here.
[Rule 2] No Piracy
Self explanatory.
[Rule 3] Please Be Respectful
Yes this subreddit revolves around black characters. There's really no need to explain why that is so. If you know the history of comics, film/tv, and plenty of other things, then you should know why this subreddit exists. Please keep the BS out of here.

ELI5: T'Challa Jr.
So we have a character called T'Challa, who is Wakandan. He is the rightful heir to the throne seat of the Panther Clan (it would be extremely out of character for Shuri to deny his legitimacy once he and Nakia are ready to go public). He will serve the role of Wakanda's protector as Black Panther. If anything happens to Shuri or M'Baku (WF was unclear whether he was challenging for role of king or national protector), T'Challa Jr. will also likely take up the role of ruler of Wakanda. And because the point of the MCU is to try and get people to consume more Marvel property, plotlines centering T'Challa jr. will likely draw from Black Panther comics featuring his 'dad'.
So if the speculation is true and Marvel is about to recast someone to play an adult T'Challa Jr....what exactly have we lost out on?
The MCU T'Challa largely was T'Challa primarily in name, himself. His dad wasn't killed by Klaue when he was a kid, but by Zemo when he was already an adult and granted the role of Black Panther. He didn't have a friendship with the Fantastic Four and an uneasy alliance with the rest of the Avengers, he was sincerely trying to befriend Bucky and Steve, and was snapped before he could officially join the Avengers. He wasn't the brooding, cold, austere king that had to put aside his personality to rule effectively, he was a legitimately warm, affable and emotionally intelligent man who knew how to balance those traits with being serious in his role. Changing who bears the name of T'Challa in the MCU does little impact to his comic legacy, because the MCU was already removed from that.
We're going to have a T'Challa that is Black Panther, and possibly king of Wakanda, doing the MCU's take on comic T'Challa stories, exactly what we had with Chadwick.
So to all the people that felt not recasting was the MCU destroying a Black male character's legacy...why isn't this a satisfying compromise?
Cuz at this point it feels like the Ship of Thesus argument; if the name, Black Panther mantle, royal status, or storylines aren't the essence which defines T'Challa, then what is?
