T’challa is a Good Male Protagonist ™ mainly because he is humble and without the ego you see from so so many other male protagonists in blockbuster films

He defers to the wisdom of his mother, his sister, his general, his love, the women around him. He was a sweet and loving son who expressed and enjoyed physical and emotional tenderness from his father.

He’s proud but doesn’t ever disrespect anybody. He values family, affection and emotion and expresses it freely, but still retains the poise of a king.

That’s kind of rare in a lot of the mostly white, mostly male Hollywood protagonist lineup.

#he’s so not aggressive and i love that about him #also it makes the rare times he explodes that much more impressive

He shows that cool is calm, not disaffected. He never dismisses others opinions, or downplay a situation with a quip or one-liner. He feels everything, but doesn’t wallow in it. And he recognizes the pain of others without having to center around himself.
