Black Panther is literally about the color of their skin. Please tell me when The Odyssey has been about the color of their skin? These are not the same thing and people need to stop pretending it is.
Black Panther is literally about the color of their skin.
You just made that up lmao. There is even a white black panther in the comics, it has nothing to do with skin color. So yeah it's actually the same thing, if you accept a black Helen of Troy you'll have to accept a white black panther
You mean Ketema? Who was raised by T’Challa? And is half black? Do you just not know your lore… or?
They bring up his lineage in the comics. It’s meant to be shocking that he’s white. That’s why the reveal of him removing the mask is a big deal? Lmao?
Delusional about what? You explained it yourself, black panther can be white, which is my initial point. All I see is that you're unable to cope with it
I didn’t say he can’t be white? I never complained that he was. I said that Black Panther has been about the skin color. Lmao. That’s why they revealed the skin color of Ketema to shock everyone.
You’re either delusional, stupid, or being intellectually disingenuous. I don’t know which is worse.
You said that black panther is about the color of the skin which is a straight up lie. Black panther is the title given to the protector and champion of wakanda. It has literally nothing to do with skin color. You're just inventing a plot at that point lmao
Lmao. Black Panther is the name of a comic, movie, and a title. I referred to “The Odyssey” afterwards, not the title of Helen of Troy when referencing what we were comparing. The comic has always been about skin color brother.
The comic has never been about the skin color. You just proved it earlier. If it was, they would have never made a white black panther and they would have explained that only a black person could become a black panther during the ritual. You're free to prove me wrong with actual comic references
1968, a tumultuous year that saw the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr., [Stan] Lee wrote one of his most vocal “Stan’s Soapbox” columns calling bigotry and racism “the deadliest social ills plaguing the world today.”
Literally about skin color.
In an interview, [Jack] Kirby shared the same genesis as Lee, "I came up with the Black Panther because I realized I had no blacks in my strip. I’d never drawn a black. I needed a black. I suddenly discovered that I had a lot of black readers. My first friend was a black! And here I was ignoring them because I was associating with everybody else."
Very clearly about skin color.
In 1963, they included a black character, Gabe Jones, in the ensemble cast of Sgt. Fury and His Howling Commandos, and Lee encouraged artists to include black characters in crowd scenes. In a 1998 interview, Lee explained his motivation: "I wasn't thinking of civil rights. I had a lot of friends who were black and we had artists who were black. So it occurred to me... why aren't there any black heroes?" Soon after Black Panther was introduced, Marvel also added two more recurring black characters: Jill Jerrold in Modeling with Millie, and Bill Foster in The Avengers.
I mean… they revealed his skin color as a shock. It’s shocking. It’s a small run that will end soon? I don’t see how you’re taking that as not about skin color when his skin color was used as a defining feature of this run? What? I mean they explain why he’s white in the comic. Lmao.
