‘What If…?’: How are fans reacting to Chadwick Boseman’s Black Panther?
What If…? released a new episode today that fans were both waiting for and dreading. If only because this was the last performance of Chadwick Boseman as Black Panther’s T’Challa in the MCU. In the episode, T’Challa joins the Ravagers and ends up becoming Star Lord instead of Black Panther. Since the episode dropped early this morning, fans have been taking to social media to share their feelings on the episode.
So how was it? Did it sore to new heights? Or did the final performance of Chadwick Boseman turn out to not meet expectations? Let’s take a look at the reactions to see what everyone is thinking about the episode, shall we?

This episode was a love letter to T’challa. Marvel showed the character’s true power by having HIM be the reason Thanos stopped his conquest after a simple conversation. Love this and thought it made so much sense.💜🖤 pic.twitter.com/kL5HiRS27t— Matt Ramos (@therealsupes) August 18, 2021
Heck yeah.
T’Challa may not be Black Panther in this universe, but he still has that king-level spirit.
Hearing Chadwick Boseman’s voice on What If…? was emotional.
He had a lovely, soothing voice and he highlighted that here with such a wonderful performance. He truly was a remarkable performer taken too soon.
Forever our Black Panther. Forever our King. #WhatIf #TChalla pic.twitter.com/yy2WH6BwpD

He did have an amazing voice
People are remembering just what made Chadwick Boseman so great in the role.
#TChalla was a better #starlord in one episode than Peter was in 4 movies #WhatIf pic.twitter.com/dEcPpkfqyI

They are not wrong
Honestly? Yeah. T’Challa is the superior Star Lord.

Remembering
The fans will always remember Chadwick Boseman fondly.
Just a reminder that we haven’t heard the last of Chadwick Boseman as #TChalla
He’s confirmed to be voicing his character in 4 episodes. The first one was already amazing. Can’t wait to see more. pic.twitter.com/neJ7KEoBYh

Quick reminder
Just a friendly reminder. There will be more Boseman in future episodes. But we’re thinking this was one really centered on his character.

if t'challa had taken mjolnir and started fighting the collector with it i would've started screaming because this t'challa is definitely worthy pic.twitter.com/c4GCH2oDbW— ethan ψ | what if spoilers (@wandapilots) August 18, 2021
It’s true.
T’Challa would have definitely been the most worthy.
