A great man like himself should be honoured indeed. That you shall never be forgotten, RIP.

totally, his impact will stick around for a long time, its hard to forget that

5 years ago wouldn't have been bad either
nowhereman1362025-11-12 23:55
its actually much easier to get a star on the walk of fame while you are still alive vs when you are dead. There is a waiting period for nominees who have passed
zenlume2025-11-12 23:30
You give me a uniform... you give me a, number on my back... and I'll give you the guts.

Petition to dig hers up and replace it with Boseman’s
MiCK_GaSM2025-11-12 23:57
You can get one too. They're paid for.
ToxicBanana692025-11-13 02:07
You're right that they're paid for, but they're not just something anyone can get. There are certain qualifications that need to be met, and the person receiving the award needs to be nominated and approved.
MisterTomServo2025-11-13 03:13
Exactly. Whenever this topic comes up, there's always comments like, "they just buy one, it's meaningless," or "it's just about connections," etc. There's industry criteria to meet, nominations to submit, a committee selection process, and several approval rounds including the Chamber of Commerce and Public Works.
Millions of people have worked in radio, film, theater, the music industry and television over the past 100+ years, and there are literally only 2800 stars on the Walk of Fame. If it was just a matter of cash (or "friends"), the Walk of Fame would stretch to Hawaii by now.

You should read up how they are obtained; it's a both a popularity contest, influence, politics, money, and fame. It's not really something like a purple heart or medal of honor
Squirrelkid112025-11-12 23:39
Just 9 days before what would've been his 49th birthday.
p_yth2025-11-12 23:57
Wow, it’s crazy realizing he would of been nearly 50, he’s still young in my head
isaidwhatisaidok2025-11-13 00:29
He always looked younger than his years, I remember how shocked people were when they found out he was 40 in Civil War. He and Michael B. Jordan looked the same age in BP. MBJ isn’t even 40 yet *now*.
silver_moon1342025-11-12 23:51
This was a celebrity death that really hurt me. Man. Such a trailblazer Black actor. Not only was he Black Panther, but he was Jackie, Thurgood Marshall, and even James Brown!!
Also why I hate when people said they should've just recasted; there's no way you watched Wakanda Forever and couldn't see that it wasn't only the characters grieving T'Challa, but also the actors grieving Chadwick. Other than sniffles, the opening was silent af opening night in my showing. The guy next to me even accepted the tissue I offered (I had the foresight to bring a box of tissues)
AggroPro2025-11-13 01:07
Sadly deaths happen and when they do, typically they just recast the role. As talented as CB was, he wasn't MLK or X. His lost was a tragic and the rest of the cast was grieving, but when the camera goes on, what you're seeing is not how they truly feel...they're pretending. It's acting and sometimes acting is harder than others. Luckily, they're well compensated for their ability to do so.
silver_moon1342025-11-13 01:21
Unfortunately, the director and actors are human and 6 months wasn't enough to get over it. Human emotions don't give a fuck about comic book stories.
They pivoted with naming his son T'Challa and they can still tell Black Panther stories that way. So what is the issue? because again, the actual actors weren't ready to replace Chadwick, so if you wanted a portly acted movie, I guess fight for that. But I want my actors to be happy so they can give good performances.
silver_moon1342025-11-13 01:25
Downvote me all you want but these people are not robots and your desire for a story will never overcome the people who are actually making the movie.
eyebrows3602025-11-13 10:33
> portly acted movie
The hell are you on about? What was "portly", or "poor" if you'd bother to proof-read your shit before hitting Send, about Wakanda Forever?
silver_moon1342025-11-13 12:46
Sorry I didn't proofread a reddit comment. Please forgive me!
eyebrows3602025-11-13 13:39
Wait so this point you're trying to make, about how disrespectful Wakanda Forever is, you don't actually care about it?
It's funny that "a reddit comment" was a good enough place for you to criticise a tonne of people for making a movie *you* feel is in bad taste, but also "a reddit comment" is a trivial place where nobody should care if what they write is even legible. Ever considered thinking, first?
silver_moon1342025-11-13 14:03
Ok
vim_deezel2025-11-13 15:51
👍
AggroPro2025-11-14 01:59
Ok bro, you want "your" actors happy And I want my folk to quit deifying entertainers but here we are. You focus on the actors, I'm focused on the little black boys who the idea of T'Challa resonates with.
When they slip on their masks, they're not pretending to be Chadwick, they're Black Panther. A non toxic, non sidekick, protagonist. And there's so few of those, the loss of even one is grievous
silver_moon1342025-11-14 02:24
I'm sorry but I don't really care to engage ab this topic anymore. I said what I said. Feel free to disagree and downvote. Just know the same it's "YOU think they shouldn't have recasted" I can reply "YOU think they should've" cause Reddit downvotes are not real life.
Myhtological2025-11-13 01:17
Well his own family said recast.
silver_moon1342025-11-13 01:18
Was his family the director and actors making the movie? These people are not robots
BatmanForever232025-11-13 01:22
What a strange response. Chadwick's family are the people best placed to comment on his legacy, and would understand better than randoms like you how it may not have been something Chadwick might have wished to take the character of T'Challa away from people.
Myhtological2025-11-13 01:29
Well Disney certainly treated them like it. Didn’t even try to change the release date. Kinda like WB and Justice League
silver_moon1342025-11-13 01:40
Ok idk what your point is. Do you agree the movie was made too soon and they were too sad and that's why didn't want to recast, or are you are saying they should've sucked it up? Clearly, I don't agree with the latter position.
But they rather push the movie out instead of waiting and that's how you get bullshit like Quantumania. Anyway, the anger at the actors and directors is misplaced regardless of how you feel!
mt802025-11-13 01:53
Dude what are you on about? In addition to his family’s blessing, Chadwick and Ryan Coogler had a real kinship beyond typical Hollywood. And Kevin Feige was very respectful to Chadwick’s legacy.

This confirms we’re about to get our next black panther this feels like a much needed and well deserved bookend
I_Was_TheBiggWigg2025-11-13 00:23
It’s sad for anyone to go that young but to be taken by cancer at the beginning of what would have been a blockbuster career is just cruel timing. The guy was on the cusp of a lifetime of wealth, fame, success and recognition.

Out of so many famous people who died his was one of the hardest to hear.
Myhtological2025-11-13 01:16
He deserves it. Please recast in secret wars.
vim_deezel2025-11-13 15:52
They are going to eventually bring back BP but not his specific character, it will be a new one out of respect.
Myhtological2025-11-13 16:24
It should be that character. That’s the bigger respect for Chadwick! He was in his death bed and he was ready to go for the second movie. Honor that dedication and love for the character

Doesn’t the actor or their family buy the star? It’s not awarded by the city or industry.

Good to hear that.

I have the illustration that Bruce Timm did in remembrance of Chadwick on the wall behind my desk. One of the few art pieces I would never sell.
