Like Disney slop is going to get any better because of this, lol

Again, an old white man, after loudly complaining that you can’t say anything anymore, continues to say whatever comes to his mind.

Black Panther broke numerous box office records, was a huge hit even by pre-Covid Marvel standards, and is one of the highest-grossing films in Disney’s history.

With that title, I was hoping for an obit.
