... I mean, don't get me wrong, Chadwick Boseman was an amazing actor and all 
, but can we talk about how this isn't even that surprising? like, he's been gone for 5 years already 
. it feels like just yesterday we were finding out about his passing. anywayz, i guess it's nice that they're giving him a permanent spot on the walk of fame 
... but at the same time, isn't this just a way to keep his memory alive and perpetuate the whole 'celebrity culture' thing? 
imagine if they had done this sooner, it would've been so much earlier, but better late than never, right? 
she must be feeling some type of way about him getting a star 5 years after he's gone 
anyway, it's cool that they're giving him the recognition he deserves... but seriously, what took so long? 
. He was more than just an actor, he was a symbol of hope for many underrepresented communities. His work on "Black Panther" was huge, not just for him but also for African Americans and the world at large 
. I remember watching him in "42" and being like 'wow, this guy's passion is infectious' 
. To think he won't be able to make more movies or receive that same applause anymore... it's sad 
. This posthumous star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame is a nice gesture, but I wish we could've seen him shine even brighter during his lifetime 
.
. I mean, how about they actually make him a permanent resident? Like, give him a house for life or something 
. That way, his family won't have to worry about some other actor coming along and "stealing" the spotlight 
. Plus, it would be way more practical than just getting a star on the Walk of Fame that's gonna get all worn out and faded after a few years 
️. And what's with all these reunions and tributes? Can't we just let him rest in peace for once? 
chadwick Boseman was so talented!! i loved him in black panther, i always felt like king t'challa 
anyway did he do most of his own stunts in that movie? and what's with all the tv shows he was in before black panther, i didn't even know he did that kinda thing 
! Chadwick Boseman's legacy lives on in such an amazing way 
King T'Challa for life 
! And can we talk about his incredible career span? From sports biopics to superhero blockbusters and TV shows too?! He was truly a talented actor who broke barriers and paved the way for more diverse roles in Hollywood 
.
! It's so fitting that he's finally getting this recognition for all his hard work and dedication to his craft. I mean, who can forget his incredible performance as King T'Challa in "Black Panther"? 
His legacy lives on through his movies and TV shows, but it's great that the industry is acknowledging him in such a public way.
. Simone Ledward-Boseman must be thrilled that her husband is getting the recognition he deserves.
, like he didn't get enough recognition when he was still alive? it's kinda weird that simone ledward-boseman has to accept it for him and not chadwick himself, idc if he's dead or not, i mean what's the point of even doing this ceremony anymore 
️. Its amazing to see all these big names coming together to celebrate his life and legacy at the Walk of Fame ceremony 
. His commitment to telling stories that needed to be told and his passion for representation in media is something we should all strive for 
️.
. I mean, can't they just leave him be and let people remember him for who he was in life, you know? Not just as some iconic actor from movies we watched after he passed away 
. And what about the people who are still dealing with his passing? It's all well and good to celebrate his work but what about those who were affected by his cancer fight? 
Like, what an iconic role 
. We should all take a moment to appreciate Chadwick Boseman's amazing legacy and the impact he had on our lives 
I remember watching "Black Panther" for the first time in theaters back in '18 and being blown away by his performance on screen 
he was so talented and underrated at times, you feel me? 
Simone Ledward-Boseman is going to be so proud too, that's awesome. anyway, what an incredible legacy he left behind, still giving us life through his work even after he's gone 
... also would've loved to see more projects he worked on showcased, like "Get on Up" or "Da 5 Bloods"... Simone Ledward-Boseman accepting for him is so sweet
