Me? Or the dude who thinks every accident is avoidable?

Black Panther is the first black character to show explicit super powers. He’s the first black character to title his own comic book.

Are you kidding?

A black character taking over a white guy? James Rhodes is yawning somewhere.

No. Black Panther is widely regarded as the first hero with legitimate superhuman powers (SUPERhero). His debut, described above, thrashing the most popular superhero team of the time, displaying extremely high intelligence....these things had never happened in comic books before.

Black Lightening? Blade? Fucking Milestone?!

Ehhh, normally I’d agree but I think in this case, since they’re basing an entire movie universe on it, they’re looking at critical reception and overall gross. It’s DEFINITELY going to make it’s money back, but FOR SURE there is an internal target that I think it’ll miss. Just like Age of Ultron not surpassing the…

You’ll need to ask a more knowledgeable DC fan than myself.

When I said “lots of #2" it was inferring the amount of compromise and tampering that the studio required to set up other films, and not allow the director to tell the story he was there to tell.

We covered BP’s first appearance on our podcast a while back (Marvel Super Heros Podcast). Favorite parts of that issue beyond his kicking the FF’s ass, is how sensitive Lee/Kirby portray the Wakandan people. If you’ve read comics of that era, you know minorities tended to be represented horribly in both rendering and…

“Marvel’s most important black superhero has evolved a lot over 50 years.”

Great documentary!

Yeah, that’s going to be the chore. It’s a long movie, and I bet it will FEEL long. That makes the typical hate-watch a bit more difficult.

If the reaction is as bad as it seems, it could make a billion (which it probably will) and still be an internal failure. My 15 bucks isn’t going to change that.

Part of what makes Doomsday imposing (although...he’s totally a Hulk ripoff) is his origin. That’s a slow buildup that needs to happen. To show how he became so powerful.

Bad is probably a little harsh...but AoU was a mess.

I think the two givens were this:

You’re the one assuming there is room to turn. It’s a high curb then a slope into the ditch.

Your alleged Dodge Caravan (probably your parents’) wouldn’t have cleared it. And even if it did (say bye bye to your front suspension), you’d land in a ditch. All to avoid a small bumper repair. But I’m sure you would have avoided that (because it’s an accident, and they can all be avoided), so you would have used…

I have been hit. If I would have pulled forward, it would have been into traffic. To the right was a foot high curb. To the left was a car.
