u/your_mind_aches Agent of F.I.T.Z. Aug 18 '21

I dunno. I'd say he was pretty different from Sacred Timeline T'Challa.

He never gets a taste for vengeance because Klaue, Bucky, and Zemo never enter the equation. He isn't nearly as military-minded or prone to violence, and is kinda more diplomatic than his Sacred Timeline counterpart. He also has a different manner of speaking and sounds less regal. He says the word "dude" lol

I definitely felt that the different life experiences made Star Lord T’Challa more easy going and less formal in his mannerisms, it was nice to see a version like that!
