10 years ago, this was the first image of Black Panther in the MCU...
It's been 10 years since the first trailer for Captain America: Civil War was released.

while I do feel phase 4 got a bit of a bad rap, like its not that much worse than phases 1 and 2, it needs to be said that part of the reason everyone's so disappointed is that Phase 3 A) pretty much kicked ass form front to back, B) lasted a pretty long time (a whole administration and C) started *forever* ago.
The backlash to Multiverse Saga makes more sense when you remembered that there's people whose whole childhood was Phase 3, and they're now old enough to drink.
CascoBayButcher2025-11-26 20:57
It's *much* worse than Phase 1 and 2... what projects in the early days were completely dropped for years?
mrbaryonyx2025-11-26 21:12
what projects in Phases 1 and 2? lots. Ant-Man was supposed to be phase 1 and came out years later because of disagreements with the director, which is the sort of thing people usually use to point to a studio not in control of what it wants (see: Disney with all of its Star Wars directors, Fox with Josh Trank, Marvel with Scott Derrickson). Captain Marvel and Black Panther also wound up taking forever, because the head of the company was a penny-pinching bigot.
and that's just the ones that were postponed. Early MCU we were teased Power Pack, a War Machine solo movie, and a Hulk sequel, never got any of them. we now call the War Machine movie "Armor Wars" and its basically the same situation.
IMO the average Phase 1 and 2 movie is about the same quality as the average Phase 4 movie they just look better because they were building up to something, whereas Multiverse Saga is scattered and aimless (also Phase 5 is a trainwreck).
CascoBayButcher2025-11-26 21:31
That... doesn't answer my question at all? Ant-Man got a trilogy, Captain Marvel and BP have two movies. I'm not talking about dropped ideas that never saw filming, I'm talking about released projects that never had followups
Eternals and Shang Chi came out years ago, no followup even planned. Phase 4 was the era Marvel introduces a billion characters and follows up on 2. Phase 1's faults can be glossed over because it all tied a small group of characters in an overarching story
Diligent-Skirt70852025-11-25 23:30
crazy how we still argue about who wore it best though, huh
Human-Speech64732025-11-25 20:06
up there with the best costumes of the mcu
Tityfan8082025-11-26 01:25
Diligent-Skirt70852025-11-26 01:50
totally feel that, the outfits were on another level for sure
Antique-Onion-49272025-11-26 15:18
You can't put it up there with the best costumes without mentioning the texture. It actually looked like woven vibranium/ballistic weave.
Ragnarok_6192025-11-26 17:33
And they downgraded it in Black Panther (2018)
femmd2025-11-26 21:01
i’m pretty sure half the reason they had to is because of Chadwick’s condition
Ragnarok_6192025-11-26 21:13
Might be, but atleast they could have made the suit look good in CGI, or used a stunt double. The suit in Black Panther (2018) was literal ass.
femmd2025-11-26 21:26
yea but they didn’t. There’s a lot of could’ve should’ve would’ve but it is what it is we got what we got. CW suit is peak, BP suit is cheeks. oh well. no point dwelling on it almost a decade later.
Ragnarok_6192025-11-26 21:30
I am not saying to dwell on spilled orange juice. What i meant is, if you give logical criticisms, companies tend to not follow through in subsequent installments. I really hope the rumored black panther in Doomsday (2026) and/or Secret Wars (20??) have a better suit.
Gilded-Mongoose2025-11-25 20:08
We were at the beginning of greatness.
I deeply wish we could have had Chadwick with us, wrapping up a trilogy, and for Storm to have had a similar appearance in the 3rd as Black Panther had in Civil War.
Then his trilogy wraps up just as X-Men are about to make their debut into the MCU, and leading up into it, Storm gets her first solo movie the same way that Black Panther had his.
This would have been insanely epic.
Upbeat_Tension_80772025-11-25 20:28
With crossovers also involved, I would've loved to see the possibility of Chadwick sharing screen time with the Thunderbolts
Negan2122025-11-25 20:37
Agreed. That final fight in wakanda forever in the dessert vs namor would have went SO hard with Chadwick black panther vs Namor. Some real alpha shit. 2020 the superhero genre took massive L’s with Chadwick and Kevin Conroy passing.
OliviaElevenDunham2025-11-25 22:09
That would have been great.
mrbaryonyx2025-11-25 23:00
T'Challa, Strange, Carol and Peter would have been the perfect replacements for Tony, Steve, Thor and Peter, because they fit Shakespeare's idea of "the hero who achieved greatness (Tony, Strange), the hero who was born great (Thor, T'Challa) and the hero who has greatness thrust upon them (Steve, Carol) and also the hero who is Spider-Man (Peter)."
But then Boseman died and everyone got weird about Carol and Sony took a stronger stance on its ownership of Spidey and Cumberbatch realized he was now the only one still there so he started asking for money.
B00FtheCH33SEgr0m1t2025-11-26 00:32
Shakespeare's idea of the hero who is Spider-Man has got me laughing harder than it should have done lmfaoo
Heisenburgo2025-11-26 11:23
The King tragically died, Carol got too controversial out of nowhere for whatever reason, Spider-Man was cosmic-retconned out of the universe in case Sony wanted the rights back, Dr. Strange was character-assassinated and replaced by his manservant Wong as the Sorc. Supreme. It's been a tragic turn of events for everyone involved...
Linnus422025-11-26 15:58
Funny that is my impression of Benedict and Lizzie as well...they were standing around in the ruins of the MCU realizing that they were two of the only popular Newish Heroes left.
As for BP, peaked in Civil War. BP1 did right by everyone but T'Challa...his super genius went to Shuri, opening Wakanda became Nakia's idea, Eric got the best lines...quite frankly BP1 was really more the tragedy of Eric Killmonger then it was a movie about T'Challa.
Maybe that would have been course corrected in BP2 but alas Chad died...they didn't recast and that was that.
PCofSHIELD2025-11-25 20:10
Peak first look remember being so hyped and Chad didn't disappoint
Peak trailer one of Marvels best
thefrumpiest2025-11-25 20:12
Still the best costume he ever wore.
LegendaryOutlaw2025-11-25 22:04
Crazy that they made the suit practically and wore it on set, but then they did a complete CG replacement in post.
Proud_Border_83342025-11-26 19:49
They changed it in the solo movie cuz the practical suit made it quite hard for chadwick to breathe in so they changed the suit for the next movie .
BeautifulMiddle22992025-11-26 13:59
It really is the best costume he ever wore. That perfect debut look in the *Civil War* chase scene just solidified it.
Funmachine2025-11-26 15:21
The best of 2.
rysker62025-11-25 20:16
His best suit too
astrofan2025-11-25 20:16
Still love that suit.
chinchususan7772025-11-25 20:17
And one of the coolest chase scenes.
JSevatar2025-11-26 11:48
I remember watching them run as fast as cars and being blown away
AegonTargaryan2025-11-26 16:41
I loved that is wasn’t blurry afterimage super speed, they were just FAST
Ariasong1232025-11-25 20:18
ProBlackMan12025-11-25 20:23
I had a t shirt of him wearing that costume
vroart2025-11-25 20:25
Sam’s reaction “so you like cats?”
beanlikescoffee2025-11-25 20:27
Going from this to the BP movie suit was one of the biggest downgrades ever.
I have no idea how they thought to do that.
femmd2025-11-26 21:02
Chadwick’s condition
drpepperrootbeercoke2025-11-25 20:28
The downgrade to the suit after is crazy
-_The_Dark_Knight_--2025-11-25 20:33
Been a long time, isn't it?
5unnay2025-11-25 20:45
Hype trailer and insane soundtrack...
BridgerRT572025-11-25 20:53
one of the all time greatest suits. his role in the movie got me into comics and instantly made BP one of my favorite characters
Acrobatic-Cow-4602025-11-25 21:03
One of the strongest introductions we had in the MCU
SnitGTS2025-11-25 21:45
Agreed, his introduction in Civil War had me hyped for Black Panther!
Really makes me sad for what could have been had we not lost Chadwick.
Real_Walk53842025-11-29 22:26
And we got Spider-Man in the same movie. Wild!
staplerbot2025-12-02 06:40
I absolutely love the preceding conversation he has with Natalsha. Chadwick is so fucking good:
"In my culture, death is not the end. it's more of a stepping off point. You reach out with both hands and Bast and Sekhmet, they lead you into a green veld where... you can run forever."
" That sounds very peaceful."
"My father thought so. I am not my father."
mikeonbass2025-11-25 21:04
I remember someone in work who only really knew the films came up to me and asked "Who the hell is that!?"
I said "Take a seat..."
eternali172025-11-25 21:07
His fight choreography has never been as good since.
Rayyan__212025-11-25 21:14
one of the phenomenal MCU intrepretations if u ask me
i always associated Black Panther as like someone who turns into an actual panther lol cause of my childhood first time exposure to Ultimate Avengers movies?
then Avenger's Earth's Mightiest Heroes solidified his character like he isnt just cool with the panther powers but can be badass without it
and MCU just took the cake for me with that suit, hot take but i like the Civil War suit more than the Black Panther 2018/IW-EG suit
Zabadaboom2025-11-25 21:16
“Your suit, it’s vibranium?” “The Black Panther has been the protector of Wakanda for generations”
SeanWonder2025-11-25 21:18
So much better than his suit in BP
Ev3rst0rm2025-11-25 21:25
That is still such a sexy suit goddamn
BladeBoy__2025-11-25 21:58
The Mcu has never been the same since Boseman’s passing. He had immediate gravitas and chemistry with everyone.
mrbaryonyx2025-11-25 23:04
people give Bucky a ton of shit for getting a downgrade in every movie, but it lowkey did a ton for Panther's aura that his first appearance has him kicking the Winter Soldier's ass
InevitableWeight3142025-11-25 23:02
Man it’s so cool. If we got the cape as well, it would be perfect
mrbaryonyx2025-11-25 23:03
It's fun seeing Russo Brothers tactical gear vs Ryan Coogler afrofuturist fantasy.
Coogler's vision is more colorful and imaginative but IMO nothing in the Black Panther movie is as cool as that little wall run he does when he's chasing Bucky.
KnjazMilos112025-11-26 00:06
And it was perfect
ghillietown2025-11-26 00:07
He was better in Civil War than his own movie
InformalJello93222025-11-26 01:43
The fact that we got Black Panther and Spiderman in the same movie…a captain America movie at that?! peak MCU 🤌🏾
young___tiller2025-11-26 01:55
realizing it already has been 10 yrs, makes me feel old and I'm just in my mid 20s
SupermarketFrosty1102025-11-26 02:37
Rip Chadwick
jddev_2025-11-26 03:42
We were all so happy.
We had no idea how much we would all love MCU Wakanda.
ChildofObama2025-11-26 04:19
I highly suspect the original ending to the Multiverse saga was probably T’Challa defeating Kang
Ginataang_Manok2025-11-26 05:04
I don't care
Jackielegs432025-11-26 05:58
That costume is cataclysmically beautiful
ElPerlaNegra3922025-11-26 06:06

great suit with great chase sequence
mexicat20002025-11-26 14:52
It’s crazy how the first costume is the best for many MCU characters

WAKANDA FOREVER.
SpaceCaboose2025-11-26 18:17
Black Panther in *Civil War* is a masterclass in writing/directing/acting. He had great presence and a fulfilling arc with a short amount of screen time.
*That’s* how you introduce a character.
Jerb222025-11-27 17:57
Better than the newer costume from IW
Oasx2025-11-28 17:46
I still wish there wasn’t all that silver on the costume, generally I think the MCU had been great about translating costumes to the big screen, but the “simple” costumes like Black Panther, Moon Knight and White Tiger have all been too busy for my taste.
Real_Walk53842025-11-29 22:25
Avengers 2.5 was better than Avengers 2 and maybe my favorite movie in the MCU. Everyone was at their peak and it wasn't overstuffed so everyone got their moment.
