RIP Chadwick Boseman :(

[Hunter Rider]

R.I..P. King!

Heartbreaking loss. Can’t imagine the pain he went though. Rest In Peace, King

You are lucky I didn't catch your post before the edited given the quote I saw after. Wishing death upon someone else? Really? Even as a joke, seriously what is wrong with you? That kind of crap is disgusting. NEVER do that again. There is no place for that and next time I see it from ANYONE, that is time off. No questions asked.

I can't believe I even have to say something like this. I can think of no worse way to honor someone's memory than wishing death upon another.

I found out last night while at work, fighting tears while finishing the shift. I came home, I mourned, I cried.

I'm waking up and I can't believe this isn't just a bad nightmare. I wanted to believe what I saw wasn't real. One of those crazy dreams that have no explanation. This feels so not real.

He was young. He made an enormous cultural impact worldwide. He was a terrific person. And now, knowing he was battling it while doing what he loved and cheering up kids suffering the same? I've seen what a cancer patient has to go through everyday. He truly was a king. Period.

I am absolutely shocked by this news. My thoughts are with his family now.

I'm speechless...
RIP Chadwick Boseman.

I woke up today and was just hoping it wasn’t real.

What a loss, when I woke up in the middle of the night with a friend saying he’s gonna marathon the movies he was in I was confused then saw another text and after looking it up I couldn’t help by tear up. We’ve unfortunately seen the pictures but last thing anyone guessed would be what happened. He had done so much these last 4 years and while battling that terrible illness. God, he had so much more left to do.

Can’t think of a time a celebrity death has impacted me like this. MCU being a part of my life is part of the reason but Chadwick’s Panther also meant a lot more to people like me. Just incredibly sad.

Heart goes out to his family and friends, to those who knew his struggle, who knew he was exhausted but still came to work and did not say anything to the media.

I still can't believe this is real. What a devastating loss, this man inspired so many people and finding out he worked his ass off making these wonderful movies for the world to see while battling this illness is incredibly sad. RIP King. Chadwick Forever

The man with a manifesto: how Chadwick Boseman changed film for ever

 

[MahvelBaby!]

I remember when all the casting rumors were first going around and he was mentioned, he was my and many others guy instantly for the role. The loud cheers when he was revealed at the el capitan theater event. Everyone went crazy. This is so tragic beyond belief. But now he's resting and doesn't have to suffer anymore silently and he changed a lot of lives with his work. And helped change industry standards with BP.

Screen rant already making articles about replacing him like the scum they are.

Let's cross that bridge when we get to it now is not the time.

Absolutely tragic news, I hope he'd told enough of his close friends & family that he wasn't suffering in silence & got all the support/help he needed.

I remember he came on TV not long after Civil War released, I presume he was at a premiere or some award show & I did think to myself, damn he's dropped a lot of weight really quickly.. I didn't think anything off it because I've seen even more extreme weight lose/gain like Christian Bale's, but knowing now what he was suffering with he probably lost that weight purely through the treatment.. and remarkably continued to do multiple blockbuster films afterwords.

RIP King T'Challa

To have not only kept churning out as many movies as he did, but to have also just physically been in the shape he was in as T'Challa, all in between "countless surgeries and chemotherapy", is a testament to his fortitude.

Even waking up this morning its still hard for me to believe that this man is gone. A part of me was hoping that last night never happened and that it was all a dream, but unfortunately it wasn't and this is the sad reality that we must all face now. I still can't believe it man.

John Kani has paid tribute to Boseman in two different interviews:

On a positive note, let us remember that Chadwick was a part of a major moment in cinema history. One he was very proud of if you look up any clips where he talks about Black Panther. Though dying young, man had a major impact on pop culture, and hopefully cinema moving forward.

That is something awesome to keep in mind! Yeah, this all just sucks. But at least this is something happy to remember

I just realized that he’s reprising his role as T’Challa one last time for Marvel’s “What If”.

Will be very bittersweet and emotional!
