I need to watch the flick again...I’m confusing the potion w/ the herb
T'challa has the power of the black panther by birthright.
That is why to prove himself he has to drink the potion that TAKES AWAY HIS BLACK PANTHER abilities.
But... In order for him to assume his other role as king of the dead and regain his black panther abilities, he has to ingest the heart shaped herb.

ok wow...ya I totally had the shit mixed up...I thought the purple drink gave him power
both were ehh...only “complaint” I have re: the movie
From a Spiritual level, I love the depiction of a progressive African Nation free of Jesus and Islam.
I'm not sure you're right here. Remember when he got his ass beat and the other guy was king?
When they were gonna fight again it was him who had to.dowm the potion to make it fair right? I have to watch it again
I only did because I was in a room full of people who were marvel fans and I had no clue why they weren't leaving lol
I think that a pretty accurate observation
they gave away the after credit scene during the movie.
To answer ur first question he went back after his father was killed, got the powers and suit then because in BP at the ceremony they showed his powers get taken away FIRST, then restored afterwards, so u have to assume he already had the powers in the middle of civil war
I prolly won't be there anyway lol. Although I am interested to see what this Tchalla does on the real world.
im glad nobody has mentioned DC movies at all.
ok that reminds me I have to finish watching JL...I wish you hadn’t brought DC up...now I’m gonna be watching this w/ a critical eye instead of just enjoying it
M'baku...
Surprisingly became a fan of this brother.
that's still #1 for me. i got to let bp soak in. i will watch it again. but bp is top 3 as of right now.
Assist.
1. In Captain America Civil War (CACW) how did T'Challa get the BP power and strength? In the Movie BP which takes place shortly afterwards, they show him becoming the king and receiving the power of the BP, via a special potion and some other ritualist moves, yet in CACW he was already the black panther without having to drink the special potion or go through the ritual. Did I miss something?
Good point. But the Black Panther is the main "Protector of Wakanda"... And T'Chaka is already pretty old when CACW happens.
(He's definitely way too old to be STILL running around in a Panther Suit.... protecting his country. And fighting off Invaders & Colonizers.)
Safe to say, T'Chaka had already 'passed the mantle of the Black Panther' to T'Challa... awhile ago.
Especially if he didn't expect anyone to challenge him... since he assumed the biggest challenger to the throne (Killmonger) would never set foot in Wakanda, anytime soon. So, the 'official ceremony'.... was just a technicality.
Like a father who buys a new car for his son because he is graduating high school... but he gives it to him BEFORE he actually walks the aisle on Graduation Day.
Is this a 'plot hole'?Maybe. Maybe not. It's debatable.
But if it is... it's just a small one,... that only requires a small amount of 'suspension of disbelief' to get past.
If you remember the Killmonger said he wanted to be BP AND King. So the two were separate roles. That means T'challa father was King and he was the BP.
What is there to mention?
Before he fought Man Ape, he took the potion which took away the powers. He drunk it again after to restore. Before he fought Killmonger he took it again, removing the power. Killmonger wins and then drinks the potion giving him the BP power. He never drinks again. BP is heeled with the last of the potion before their final fight, so now they both have the Spirit of BP in them.
Yeah I think you're right.
Just to clarify there are two different potions at work here...the one removes the power of the princely heir black panther, so the challenge for the throne can be waged on equal footing.
The 2nd is the heart shaped herb, which restores the power back to the heir (now rightful king) or if the challenger has defeated the heir, the herb is the final test of the challenger of his worthiness.
If the challenger is worthy the heart shaped herb will endow him with the power of the black panther.

Just got back from seing it with the wife and kids. OUTSTANDING MOVIE.
My wife and kids gave it 10/10 I gave it a 9/10. I thought one or two parts were a little slow.
Lupita if so fine it hurts. Hell even the wife said she's fine.
Okoye was not to be fucked with. However I do like how she wasn't a hard ass, just focused.
W'Kabi almost got his ass kicked by his woman but he escaped the sunken place AGAIN and came to his senses.
M'Baku did have one of the funniest lines in the movie. Vegetarian.....hilarious.
And finally:
KILLMONGER WAS RIGHT!!!!

This...
Remember in Civil War T'Challa explains it perfectly...
"Your suit, it's vibranium?
"The Black Panther has been a protector of Wakanda for generations. A mantle passed from warrior to warrior. Now because your friend murdered my father, I also wear the mantle of king. So I ask you, as both warrior and king, how long do you think you can keep your friend safe from me?"
―T'Challa and Steve Rogers
T'Challa wasn't born with power of the Black Panther - and it appears no one is given the heart shaped herb at birth...
at some point in this story his father and the priests had to find him worthy and gave it to him...
In the Marvel version - T'Challa didn't get the heart shaped herb or become Panther until he defeated his uncle during the challenge
Yup but how he went about it is wrong. And tchalla needed his passion. Together... mayne... Would discuss more in a thread with spoilers
this is the spoiler thread.
Who in da fuk is this Becky loving fool???? Why are we giving him views???
