A comfort that the world is not going to end in fiery nuclear hellfire is the knowledge that civilization must carry on because the universe requires new episodes of Supernatural.

s2 just came out on netflix day after Christmas

Doctor Infinity Panther.

There was an S2? Yay!

I don’t know what I’m more excited for: Infinity, Black Panther or Doctor Who.

The “problem” with critical reviews of Bright (which is admittedly as forgettable and average as a blockbuster can be) can be summarized by IndieWire’s review which wrote that Bright:

It’s a Netflix movie. It didn’t require much effort on my part to watch it. I didn’t have to drive to the movie theater and shell out $20 and so I didn’t need it to be that good. Streaming media falls under the missing standard between renting and broadcast TV. It was more of a high budget made for TV movie rather…

The movie was good for what it was. It was Bad Boys with orks.

*cough* Stan Lee is an old white dude *cough*

And if he’s never been, how would he have known?

Also, South Africa is probably one of the few places where he was allowed to travel. Studios take out insurance on their key creatives and him going on a solo journey through the Congo would never fly.

I am aware. I have already addressed this in previous comments - it wasn’t a good analogy on my part. The reason why Black folks in the US ...let me speak for me instead. The reason why I sometimes have friction with Africans in a general sense is not because I don’t identify what country they are from, it’s because…

He went to South Africa because that’s where the people live who speak the language Marvel chose for Wakanda: Xhosa. I’m hard pressed to name a popular area in Africa untouched by colonialism, which is what Wakanda is supposed to be.

The movie is coming up fast with a February release date. They need to put out a better trailer like NOW. Thor: Ragnorak put its Zeppelin trailer almost half a year before its premiere to psyche people up. What has Black Panther done? Come on, Marvel. You are usually ace at promotion. Where is the hype? You can’t only…

Would you say a good analogy for it is like someone saying “I wanted to get a sense of Europe, so I went to England?”

Thank you. Whenever this topic comes up, inevitably there are (presumably) Africans complaining because Somalia/Ghana/Tanzania/Kenya/Eritrea was not mentioned.

Totally different thing. First of, Maryland is not a different country with a different history and culture and language. Senegal, Nigeria and South Africa all are. Second, the only people in North, Central and South America fine with being referred to as Americans are people from the US, because they think so highly…

Given the general idea of Wakanda, I’d be inclined to say that if you had to pick one African nation to base it on itd be Ethiopia. In fact I’d be very surprised if Lee and Kirby didn’t take their main inspiration from Ethiopia and Haile Selassie.

I respect the effort, but I bet one of the first things he learned was that “Africa” is not one big culture and that most citizens of African countries do not like being lumped under the general term “African”. This is a habit I’ve noticed in America—in fact, this article doesn’t mention where Coogler traveled other…

I think it’s great that he visited South Africa, but having that experience reflect on the entire continent is bit like having Japan reflect the entirety of Asia or Spain all of Europe.
