Marvel's Black & Minority Characters: Roundtable Discussion

In Books of Doom, Doom mentions how all people are nothing to him. I agree with what some others have said here; Doom basically views all others as underlings and pawns in his game of global domination.
 
Are we reading the same book? Because I haven't seen anything like that happen. Storm hasn't been in any way shape or form his "Tonto". Of course, i've never been all that huge of a Storm fan, so I guess the people who follow her more would have a better vantage point. Or maybe that's the problem. You're trying to apply her role as a leader of the X-Men to what she's doing now, which is really on a much grander scale. Has she ever really been in a position like she is now? Being a world leader? This isn't the X-Men, this is a major world power. The way I figure, she's gonna need time to adjust to this new role. And so far, they've been showing it. Just look at her recent tiff with Stark, and now making the decision of possibly registering. This not only goes against what BP wants, but her fellow X-Men as well. She's making decisions for the good of her people now. (or adopted people or whatever.)

As far as her eyes not going white, that's just the artists interpritation. Unless i've missed some sorta memo where they say she can't have her eyes go white all of a sudden. Seems kinda petty to me.

I agree with Anubis. Hudlin is not writing a great book but he is writing an acceptable one. I see Storm adjusting to her new role as queen of Wakanda and the responsibilities that go along with it. I don't see her as a floor mat for the panther. They are married and in a marital relationship there must be compromise and mutual submission. Complete independence is not the name of the game. Usually marriages where the partners try to remain completely independent fail.

I have found the stories thus far to be very interesting although imho the artwork leaves much to be desired.

Lastly it is impossible for Hudlin to try to please all of the fans. That is an impossiblity because beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Most X-fans didn't want Storm to get married in the first place, so Hudlin's ability to woo them will be an exercise in futility.

All Hudlin can do is have a vison for the characters and write them in a way that is fascinating. Contrary to what some of the polsters have said, i truely believe Hudlin cares about these characters. He is not just writing the Black Panther to make money. Reggie is multi-talented and he doesn't need to write a comic book to make money. He is writing this comic book because he is a fan. If he is successful in writing these particular characters in a way that inspires others the book will be bought and read. If he is not, it will either be cancelled or assigned to another writer.

The best option for those who hate this book is just not to read it. Just remember there are many other fans like myself that feel differently.
 
I find Lightning Strykez to be full of himself.

I must buy this comic with Doom.

That is all.
 
And the things they do and say now are just off-target ("You've got me straight trippin' boo?" When did the King Of Wakanda get hood!? :csad: )

I think you're being very misleading by saying mentioning that and leaving out the fact that that line was used in the House of M tie in and that the line itself was a quote with T'challa saying something along the lines of "What is it that the Americans say "you got me straight tripping boo"....It's not like he himself said it on his own in a regular issue of the series.

I think Hudlin is doing ok......nothing great though, it's fun book that I enjoy reading, but I will admit the wedding arch lost my instrest a bit....I like the idea of the pairing I just feel that the whole wedding stuff was rushed....There is a histroy between these two even without the retcon but not enough to forgive how rushed everything felt.....I think it's going great now though, Storm is the only character that's actually put Black Panther in his place, but she was also smart enough to know she should follow HIS lead in diplomatic precedings seeing as how she not as well versed in them as he is.
 
Heres the scene in question

I personally think he was just trying to get under BP's skin.
 
Yeah, he was definitely saying it just to mess with him. Though I can see the racial undertones quite clearly when Storm accuses him, though I think she was being sarcastic, as was he.
 
Seems like it worked though. Riled him up a bit. He then went right behind that and called him Cap's side kick. The guys a *****e. That's the kinda thing that *****e's do. He even poked fun at him after Storm hit him with a bolt of lightening. Like whats the matter? Can't check your woman? The guys an ass. I think that's all they were showing.
 
Yeah but it's uncharacteristic of Doom to use such a trite and ignorant methodology as it is for Panther to fall for it...
 
Who hasn't been written out of character lately? Marvel's been bending and flexing what is "characteristic" of these characters to make Civil War work. This panel seems no different.

Is it? He used to poke fun at how ugly and stupid the Thing is all the time.
 
... damn gud point...

but panther shouldn't have fallen 4 it:o
 
The power of the *****e bag is strong with Doom. I bet he could make Jesus kick him in the crotch.
 
Doom never said "which compensates for his lack of intelligence."
