Shit...I had no idea he was battling cancer.
I dont think anybody did. This came as a surprise to everybody I knew and in fact I thought it was one of the fake death stuff.

Really enjoyed the Black Panther so its going to be weird going forward.

What is remarkable is what he accomplished while ill. A career many actors can't achieve in decades.

That's exactly what I thought when I heard the news. Craziness what he had to have suffered through even making Black Panther. So sad. RIP

People are really out there posting pics of their kids doing staged black panther funerals just so they can get a few social media likes.

Sucks that a man lost his life to cancer and a bunch of idiots have turned it into some type of grieving contest.

Does it make me racist if I like this post? :unsure

I am glad I am not the only one who felt this way.

He played the character. And he did it well.

But Jesus Christ...he was not the character. I would hope we would remember him for more of what he accomplished than that.

Anyway, here is a kid I have barely parented staging a fake funeral with his action figures.

And, what's even more sad is, you know it was the parents that set all that shit up. No damn way there is an 8 year old kid that did all of that.

It's all about racial solidarity. White people weren't doing this when Chris Reeve croaked.

On top of the staged funerals there were a bunch of people pushing for Marvel to retire the character....at least in movies :picard

It's like these idiots didn't watch the movie. T'Challa wasn't the only Black Panther. He just carried the title at the time. In the Marvel movies he assumed the duties of the Black Panther after his father's death. Also, remember he had to battle Killmonger and the leader of the other tribe in order to retain the Black Panther status. So the character absolutely should not be written out of movies just because of Bosewick's death.

Yep. Highly doubtful that some snot-nosed, play-doh eating 5-year old would have the mental capacity to arrange all of his Marvel action figures to mimic a memorial service.

I just think everyone these days has to take the death of a celebrity over the top.

It started with the Kobe Bryant tragedy.

People have too much time on their hands.

Hell, he lost the Black Panther status in the challenge with Killmonger.

Sorry, but the Kobe death shook me. I don't know if it was because of the extreme tragedy or because he had his daughter with him, but that shit rocked me.
