Why did T'Challa not seem to realize that he was about to die...

Why did T'Challa not seem to realize that he was about to die? Pretty much everyone else saw what was happening to their body and was like "Oh no" but not him for some reason.

Because that's what the writers wanted and what the plot demanded for dramatic effect.

The other explanation would be that there's some variance in how quickly the snap affected people which is why some people dissolved instantly without noticing and others lingered a bit. Not everyone who was affected fell apart at the same time after all.

Because the magical glove wanted it to be so. It's just a dramatic contrivance. A big purple man put rocks in a glove and snapped his fingers, it's not that deep.

Or - and this is going out on a limb here - what he said could be taken at face value and he knew but just didn't want to die there? There was a bit of urgency in his voice.

They took his character's intelligence and gave it to Shuri

>Russo
>being consistent

In that case why would he not want to die there in particular? It's a battlefield on Wakanda, seems like a fitting place for a warrior to die.

nobody gives a flying fuck it's a fucking movie stop trying to rationalize everything that happens, especially in fiction

>"Quick! That suit took me forever to make, take it off before you-"

Peter had spider sense going off. Mantis had something similar. Many of the others that reacted either saw what was happening to others or reacted to the pre cogs or psychics freaking the fuck out.

With the adrenaline and the general shitty feeling at that moment I don't know if he'd be able to differentiate whatever creeping since of impending dusting feels like, but at the same time maybe he feels something wrong and is just fighting, not wanting to give up.

Just off the top of my head both Quill and Fury reacted to their own disintegrating bodies.

Y'see, it all comes down to the fact that they have far more fast-twitch muscle fibers...

yeahhh it is pretty fucking weird that their clothes dissolved with them, and will come back when they're revived

Okay, you got me. I feel bad about it, but you got me.

>and will come back when they're revived
We actually don't know this for sure. Superheroes make new outfits all the time.

Although I do know that it is faithful to the comics that the clothes disappeared as well.

Fury saw other people dusting a few moments earlier. Easier to react when you're expecting it.
Quill is part celestial in MCU. If he kept even some of his cosmic awareness it probably helped him a little.
Although really it comes to different people being vaporised at different speeds.

Quill turned fully human after Ego death.

He's not a clone of his mom. Ergo he has dna in there somewhere. He just lacks the catalyst to use it.

I dunno? Out in the open field instead off in the brush like a sick animal or something?

Gee, I don't know, maybe he was afraid to die and was in the bargaining stage?

Hist started from back to front. Plenty of other characters didn't notice until it was over when that happened either.
Though technically he should have known immediately because of his enhanced kinesthesiology

"place" probably meant the time not location

Then why didn't he just say "This is no time to die"?

It makes him less annoying. Suri is super annoying but easier to ignore.

You can clearly see it starting from his outstretched arm and working back towards his body.

The real reason it turned out this way is probably because they framed the shot in such a way that you couldn't see his face, which made you expect that they were about to show Okoye disintegrating only to receive a surprise when it turned out to be T'Challa instead. It actually is possible that he made a shocked expression when he realized what was happening but the camera doesn't show his face so there's no way to know.

I agree, he's a more interesting or at least enjoyable character in MCU. In comics he is like Steve Rogers + Tony Stark + Batman rolled into one and it just kind of feels like wankery.

He was putting others before himself

That doesn't happen until after he says the line.

The MCU is good about taking all the best qualities of characters and making them into their best versions. It even made Carol Danvers good. Now that's an accomplishment.

Regardless, Ego isn't even a Celestial.

The current Avengers series makes him a real fucking pain. All the Avengers unanimously vote him leader of the new Avengers, he personally created an organization to replace SHIELD in it's absence (Agents of Wakanda), and Odin says he's the coolest Cat King he ever met.
Like, yeah, I get it, black people can be cool, thanks Marvel.

I'm pretty sure he is one in the MCU, which is already taking pretty huge liberties like making Ego be Quill's father.

I mean, they call him a "celestial," but MCU "celestials" could be different than comic Celestials.
They could just call any powerful cosmic thing celestial for all we know.
I mean, we see Eson in GotG 1, and he doesn't seem to be anything like Ego at all.

He's a Celestial, bro.

have you seen his move? He is not the brightest tool in the cookie jar

nah

Why would you put a tool in a cookie jar?

Quill (apathetic)
Wanda (welcomed it)
Peter (afraid)
Mantis (unnerved)
Fury (knew it was coming as he witnessed others dusting)
Groot (reacted to it, afraid)

Bucky (confused)
Sam (instant)
T'challa (offscreen, instant)

>he doesn't keep his tools crumbed

>Wanda (welcomed it)
Same to be honest.

He was too focused on making sure his people were okay to care.

Because they were literally lying down in the dirt in a forest. Not a particularly noble or beautiful spot in Wakanda.

This. A good leader puts his subordinates in mind before himself, though their conditions may need to be worse than his own for pragmatic reasons. Obviously, you can't think of everyone under your command all the time, but that's presumably handled by your subordinates most of the time.

The only people who could sense it were precogs like Spidey and Mantis, the others who did know only did so because they literally saw their body parts turning to dust. BP is neither a precog nor did he see his body disintegrating before it was too late.

I mean
It’s not like it happened to everyone at once
How the fuck are you supposed to know exactly which half survives?

I was pleasantly surprised that he died. I fucking hate this character, not because he's black, he's fucking bland and without any charisma. His backstory is embarrassing, he's a fucking loser with little to no merit. Awful character.

I still dont understand Black Panther. Why are they so rich? Where do they get the money if they refuse to trade with other countries or sell any of their technology / resource?

These "deaths" are literally the worst ones ever been on big screen.
>not even an actual deaths
>no emotional moments except for Stark's lapdog crying like a bitch
>no interesting phrases
>no acting
>looks like shitty ps2 CGI
>no blood
This is some indian tv tier deaths. I've never seen a single decent person who would've been sad after these. Even Yondu's death was more sad despite fact that he is shitty character.

He lost his energy powers, but his body still has energy resistance.

He's not that bad, he's just a straightman, so he only really works with a good supporting cast.

>All the Avengers unanimously vote him leader of the new Avengers
They usually do that with team leaders. Hell you can join the Avengers if Cap says you are cool.
>he personally created an organization to replace SHIELD in it's absence (Agents of Wakanda)
They are not SHIELD, they are part of the Avengers support crew gathering intel for the Avengers missions. They are not trying to police the world.

Yeah, drax literally watched his arm disintegrate and moaned

Oh yeah, as if Tony would agree with Carol so soon after CW2 about anything, especially when his ego would get in the way.
T'Challa hasn't had any real problems either, it just feels like he is there to be admired by the readers for being so good and so cool.

But nah, Agents of Wakanda is definitely filling the void that SHIELD left.

>>no interesting phrases
Quill said something interesting, and Fury was had an entertaining quip that referenced the Jackson Word

How did Samuel L. Jackson claim a generic piece of profanity as his own?

How did gamers claim a generic ethnic slur as their own?

...Did we?

The Gamer Word, yes.

>I mean, we see Eson in GotG 1, and he doesn't seem to be anything like Ego at all
We see him for a couple seconds apparently judging a planet (where's Arishem?). There's not really enough to make a judgement call either way, but given that Ego is a giant energy brain, it's entirely possible that the other MCU Celestials are also giant energy brains residing in their armor. Something could have happened to Ego that destroyed his armor on and shattered his memory, he says that all he remembers is waking up alone in space. Or he could have been orphaned at birth and never had armor to begin with or something.

Either way, it basically comes down to whether you take his word at face value or not, but we don't know enough about Celestials in the MCU to say for sure if he's lying. Hopefully the Eternals movie will shed some light on the Celestials.

I don't even remember what they said.
Also
>entertaining quip that referenced the Jackson Word
Is making it way worse

>where's Arishem?
Perhaps Eson is searching for him.

>nigger not self-aware

checks out

sounds like you just hate everything

There is a vibranium black Market. Since Klaw was the only person to ever get away with robbing Wakanda, it stands to reason that the black marker was actually Wakanda occasionally selling a pebble for a billion dollars.

He's just that good at saying it.

Heart-shaped herb increased his magical metabolism so the snap took effect faster and he couldn't have held on for a few moments by resisting anyway.

Based.

I reckon theyre not rich commercially due to their isolation but they can make basically whatever they want with vibranium so they dont need to be.

what's the point of being rich when you can just make everything locally through the power of meteorite metal that is totally not basically magic?

>Why didn't the King go out like a bitch ass nigga infront of one of his subjects
He was noble until death

based answer.

Seriously he was just more concerned with others up until he disappeared. Morons.

>he MCU is good about taking all the best qualities of characters
said no one ever who is actually familiar with Marvel Comics.

That's probably the reason why I tolerate this version of the character better.

But, didn't they made some more of them. I explicitly remember more than two collars show.

>Why are they so rich?
Wakanda itself isn't rich. It has an isolated economy. It's just post scarcity in most ways due to vibranium being magic, and integrated into every level of their society. They aren't "rich" they are "wealthy."
>they refuse to trade with other countries
They don't though. It's just that they never trade anything of particular value. Part of their cover identity is that they export textiles, it's one of the things that the CIA agent mentions about Wakanda. Presumably, that side of things is handled by the Merchant tribe, just like how the Border tribe works security. The actual wealth (we're talking an entire industry, here) is probably channeled into officials when they are in the outside world, or their various war dogs. If the scale is large enough, and concentrated enough, then that's a significant amount of wealth that can be used as needed.
Even the king of a shit hole country is pretty damned wealthy.

Not an argument. He says he is a celestial, he's a celestial.

That's not exactly a good way to make your case when he was shown to be lying about a few other things.

Sorry big boy, identity does not equal reality.

...

Yeah...

That isnt even a pol opinion, it's just fact. Try harder.

i know what you're trying to say but you somehow chose one of the worst ways to express it

He was too busy looking at the reflection in that bald ass head.

He was too focused on his vassals to stop and recognize what was happening to him. He puts his people's wellbeing before his own, so even though he felt strange, that feeling was vastly overshadowed by thoughts like
>Where are my subordinates? Are they injured?
>Okoye is on the ground, I need to check on her.
>She seems okay, but I-[dusts mid-thought]

Because he's a /pol/tard.

He looked like he was in extreme pain to me. I think he knew.

But the act of dusting only caused pain to people like Peter Parker who can sense it.

Nah, Drax and Bucky expressed pain too.

>It even made Carol Danvers good
I want to believe you, but let's not get ahead of ourselves just yet.

this. ignore the /pol/ hate.
he's a real selfless guy who thinks of others first.

It was more panic than pain. They weren't screaming in agony, they were just scared because they realized what would come next.

Drax mutters "No..." when he sees he's disintegrating and then just seems to sigh in frustration. I wouldn't describe that as an expression of pain.
youtube.com/watch?v=Ja9zNynrYJc

It's nice to see all these people on Yea Forums who like Black Panther.

Same reason Mike Brown thought going for a cop's gun was a good idea. These people have a reverse spider-sense, they are unable to recognize danger.

Related question:
What exactly were they dusted Into?
Because unless that dust his some insanely rich fertilizer or something, it seems like the Snap was still a rather unnecessarily large loss of net resources and accessible energy in the collective bio-systems of the universe.

(Looks like yet another way Thanos’s plan was, from a purely logistical standpoint, bad executed and/or didn’t make sense. Huh, who’da-thunk-it?)

I think the "dust" just completely disappeared. It was a visual thing. They were just erased.

>die
their not dying you idiots their being unmade,into obliovious non existence.death isnt the same,you are watching them turn into cosmic dust

You used their incorrectly twice meaning you cannot excuse it as a typo, you legitimately think that is correct.

I'm not sure we should trust the rest of your opinion.

their turning into their raw elemental parts. silicon,atomized. cosmic dust

Jesus.

>no emotional moments except for Stark's lapdog crying like a bitch

No emotional moments except for the single most emotional moment in the entire MCU second to Cap missing his date.

Bait

?

It actually got to me that Drax was afraid. :(
Also I'm still willing to bet Dr. Strange faked his death to pull one over on Thanos and maybe go talk to some inter-dimensional or cosmic beings about what to do next

looks like the mutt meme

Attached: mutt.png (185x211, 71K)

the antman 2 stinger makes it fairly obvious what's going to happen
>be careful in the quantum realm, don't get sucked into any time vortexes lol

How is he gonna find his way out of there though?

How, Elmo, how?

It's a little upsetting one of the more cheerful characters realized she was dying and was unnerved

She also was one of the only ones to dust away almost instantaneously.

By being Scott Lang.

It's a running theme that Lang is the MCU's wild card. In the first movie Hank couldn't in any sensible way figure out how to get the suit to change size in the quantum realm - Scott did. In Civil War Team Rogers couldn't prevent Team Stark from dicking them down and capturing Bucky - Scott did. In Ant Man 2 neither Hank, Janet, nor Hope could... you get the point. Lang is the MCU's uncanny answer to impossible situations. That's been his entire arc. His entire footprint in this universe.

He's going to get out of the quantum realm and give the Avengers a chance to save the universe by doing exactly whatever the fuck it is Scott Lang does.

>everyone's face when Carol is struggling and Scott comes out of nowhere and saves her

Plus, out of all the magic users (Loki, Wanda, Strange), Scott was the only one to survive Thanos.

>how'd you do it, Scott?

More like
>everyone's faces when they do they're in the middle of their climactic final showdown and Carol says "I'm the distraction"

Attached: literally an exercise manga.png (825x871, 325K)

Could Scott crawl into the Infinity Gauntlet while Thanos is still wearing it?

He's a magic user? I thought it was science.

What's the difference?

Actually...don't they literally pull that bullshit in the first or second Thor movie?...And basically in Doctor Strange.

>He's a magic user?
Yeah, his sleight of hand is quite excellent

Could he beat Mysterio?

They do and, but really, what's the difference?

The Ancient One tells Strange to think of sorcery like computer coding on a universal scale, and tell him to train at it the way he got his doctorate.

Really, think about it. Magic vs. hyper advanced science. What *is* the difference?

as soon as you can codify magic it loses the "magical" part of it and it just becomes applied science.

Honestly it was just badly acted towards the end, when his face just froze up awkwardly. Too melodramatic for its own good.

This is the board that sucked off Inside Out's dumb imaginary friend death though, so I know you guys live for melodrama.

Hmm.. I always thought he just called himself a Celestial because of, well, his huge ego. He’s a strong dude and think he’s a the level of a Celestial. I mean we saw Eson and Knowhere; both are mechanical in design whole Ego isn’t

I highly doubt this board did that, that sounds exactly like the thing that they'd be massive contrarians about. You know, like you're being. You're so contrarian that you want your opinion to not be the general opinion of Yea Forums even though it actually is.

I genuinely hate that bullshit. I'm fine with sufficiently advanced science and vice versa. I'm even fine with magitech. But once magic stops being localized reality warping and simply becomes seeing and manipulating the order of the universe along heretofore unknown physical laws, it stops being fun.

Science is nature's bitch. Magic isn't.

Suuuure it isn't.

Order is always chaos's bitch. The more order the more bitchness. Humans are nature's bitch, nature is the cosmos' bitch, etc. Same with magic. Anyone who tries to control magic just gets bitched on by primal forces of chaos.

This sounds like something Bendis would write.

>Order is always chaos's bitch.
>always
Nope. The 2nd law of thermodynamics isn't an actual physical law. Systems always tend toward chaos or neutrality, but that's a statement of probability. Systems can and do actually become more ordered. They just usually become more disordered or retain their state.
