I’m fighting back tears

Chadwick did so much more than Black Panther. But, man, he was the answer to this T’Challa fan’s dreams

like a lot of classic characters, Black Panther’s gone through a lot of interpretations. Chadwick’s portrayal touched on so many of them. There was compassion, ferocity, thoughtfulness…

I was lucky enough to talk to Chadwick once fr work, when I was still writing for @io9 https://io9.gizmodo.com/chadwick-boseman-explains-why-the-black-panther-is-not-1784265557

y’all gotta understand: I’m just a big ol’ dork, especially when it comes to Black Panther. Chadwick answered my dumb-ass questions with humor and grace. He could’ve just blown me off but he was generous.

when I went to the movie premiere, I didn’t get a chance to talk with him. But I was, like, one day, it’ll happen. Just crushed by this news.

I remember the tweet from a friend when Dwayne McDuffie died. it said “this can’t be real.” That’s how I felt when Denny O’Neil died. What I feel like now.
