Chadwick Boseman received an Emmy Nomination for his role in theWhat If…?series. This shows that Boseman’s legacy persists long after his death still few fans are unhappy with it as they don’t think that the Animated show had anything remarkable in it and though the late actor has always aced the role still it’s not Emmy-worthy.
He’s only been nominated for this because he’s dead. A pity nomination is a slap in the face.

I liked the show… but this seems more like a pity nomination. There was nothing crazy or outstanding about any performance on that show.

Really? I mean, he was OK in What If but I wouldn’t necessarily say Emmy worthy. It was fine. Nothing more, nothing less.

I loved What If? But not once was I like, man, Chadwick might win a Emmy for this, this is amazing!! It’s good and all but Emmy?!?

Great actor. But he wasn’t even the best character in this episode. Nor was the payoff of him being Star-Lord really fun.

It is evident that although he was a great star and loved by all, they are not happy as they think it mostly as a“pity nomination”and not something special.

The Emmy Nominations bring the Heath Ledger back:
Quite unfortunately Chadwick Boseman’s Emmy Nomination has led some people to compare it withThe Dark Knightfame Heath Ledger’s Oscar moment. But it can’t be overlooked that Heath Ledger’s world-class performance as the insane Joker is even out of comparison. Comparing it withWhat Ifis purely irrelevant and it demeans the Late actor’s performance.
