No matter the nitpicks I have with Coogler, we're blessed that he got the job.

I haven't read it in years.

I heard the Intergalatic run was trash.

I'm scared to get invested.

I see Evan Narcisse's run get a lot of love. I bought it and didn't read, yet.



I was on my last leg as a legit "liberal" at the point.

You're not missing much. Coates had a 5-6 issue stretch where BP seemed to get the estrogen out his system... but he's back to being a do-nothing punk.

BP/Storm goes like this:

-Storm does all the heroic shyt, saving the day, inspiring Wakandans, etc.

-BP sits around getting called a bytchass nykka by all his dead relatives.

Probably what Ava's movie would've been like (sub Storm with Doras)

Fortunately sales bombed so badly now that Coates is leaving the book after one more issue or two.

Evan Narcisse mini is the only one I'd recommend.

Thank God this lady aint ruin one of the best superhero films :ahh:

You mean the woman who brought us one of the best documentaries of the racist U.S. prison system and the injustice of the Central Park 5? Yeah I'm sure she would have totally destroyed the "masterpiece" that is Black Panther. :usure: She probably would have eliminated Ross' non essential goofy white appeasing role, had better CGI in the final fight scene, and would have cut T'Challa opening up Wakanda for colonizers to ravage.

I'm so glad we didn't get to see her version /end sarcasm

Notice you didn't mention the movie she did instead. A Wrinkle in Time. I didn't see it, but I also have no desire to either. lol
Would it have had the best African Diaspora theme in a movie? Probably not. :francis:
