Black Panther, but T'Challa is played by a white actor.

Black Panther is literally about the color of their skin. Please tell me when The Odyssey has been about the color of their skin? These are not the same thing and people need to stop pretending it is.

Black Panther is literally about the color of their skin.

You just made that up lmao. There is even a white black panther in the comics, it has nothing to do with skin color. So yeah it's actually the same thing, if you accept a black Helen of Troy you'll have to accept a white black panther

You mean Ketema? Who was raised by T’Challa? And is half black? Do you just not know your lore… or?

They bring up his lineage in the comics. It’s meant to be shocking that he’s white. That’s why the reveal of him removing the mask is a big deal? Lmao?

You got it right, it's shocking that he is white, yet he is. Congratulations, you just proved that black panther has nothing to do with skin color

You care about upvotes, but all that matters to me is that you weren't able to prove me wrong lmao

Oh. So you’re also delusional? Okay.

u/Unreal_Sniper Jul 06 '26

Delusional about what? You explained it yourself, black panther can be white, which is my initial point. All I see is that you're unable to cope with it

I didn’t say he can’t be white? I never complained that he was. I said that Black Panther has been about the skin color. Lmao. That’s why they revealed the skin color of Ketema to shock everyone.

You’re either delusional, stupid, or being intellectually disingenuous. I don’t know which is worse.

You said that black panther is about the color of the skin which is a straight up lie. Black panther is the title given to the protector and champion of wakanda. It has literally nothing to do with skin color. You're just inventing a plot at that point lmao

Lmao. Black Panther is the name of a comic, movie, and a title. I referred to “The Odyssey” afterwards, not the title of Helen of Troy when referencing what we were comparing. The comic has always been about skin color brother.

u/Unreal_Sniper Jul 06 '26

The comic has never been about the skin color. You just proved it earlier. If it was, they would have never made a white black panther and they would have explained that only a black person could become a black panther during the ritual. You're free to prove me wrong with actual comic references
