I'm only 2 episodes into this 6 episode Black Panther series and I'm already convinced that this is the first good animated series from Marvel Comics in over 20 years! What makes it so good exactly? I'm glad you asked. First of all, it's well written. And not just because it's boarder line R rated with shit like booby traps that impale people and villains seeing prostitutes. It's funny with out being campy, touches on social issues like religion and race in a very fearless way and is heavily steeped in history and international politics in something of a James Bond kinda fashion. It takes everything that was good about The Black Panther movie and expands on it but at the same time it feels a little more like the Black Panther you grew up with in the Marvel Comics universe. I usually expect this type of sophistication in animated features from DC so it was nice to see it in Marvel for a change.
Did I mention all the appearances by other characters in the Marvel Universe? Even within the first few episodes you'll see over a half dozen of those. Here's Captain America while on a covert mission in Wakanda having something of a misunderstanding with Black Panther during WW II.
So far, I really can't say enough good things about this animated series and it's got me even more stoked for Avengers Infinity War later this month. Who doesn't love Storm right? And you'll get to see several other X-Men to.
Now if you'll excuse me I need to get back with my Black Panther binge watching today on Youtube. I'm trying to get through the rest of the episodes (just 3 more to go) before I have to go to bed it's Monday tomorrow and we all know what that means.
Episodes 1 - 6

Also yesterday, I saw this on the news and it had me cracking up so I recorded it with my iphone and posted it on youtube.
I have been praising this series for years now. I love it.
ReplyDelete"years now"? i can't remember ever having seen you post about it. well anyways sure am glad to have discovered it now this is absolutely fantastic.
DeleteI post about it when it first came on BET. I loved that whole motion comic style too. Afro Samuarai was another show that came out about the same time. I must have talked about it before you started following me. I love the theme song that I try to sing in it's original African by photetics.
DeleteAnd my favorite Panther Line - "Why would I be uspet? I finally have all my enemies in one place.?
Deletehuh. Looks good man, I'll definitely be sure to check it out.
ReplyDeleteYo brother it's been awhile I thought I'd drop in. But what's this about a Black Pather series? I must admit I haven't seen anything of it.
ReplyDeleteWelcome back zhaanman. Read the posting in full and all answers will be questioned.....more or less.
Deletegood thing this series was made almost a decade ago, before Disney, before everything, it was a clear revamp of the Black Panther story
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing links. It seems you are also big fan of Marvel movies and series. I will watch online all these episodes. Recently I had watch Black Panther action movie and really enjoyed the movie.
ReplyDeleteif you liked the movie Deepak i am confident you will enjoy those links. either way after you finish with them i would like to hear what you thought of them.
DeleteOne cannot deny the direction mainstream Hollywood "horror" films are going in, not a direction of true horror, but one of teen screams and cheap scares. And even though PG-13 Hollywood horror has created some gems like The Conjuring, for the most part they have disappointed this horror veteran. This film was no different, it just plain old wasn't scary, or thrilling, or suspenseful. To be fair I liked some the kills but other than that I could not find anything redeeming. happy death day online Its another sad attempt by Hollywood at horror, it just isn't scary. Like many other mainstream horror films, I found myself being bored, waiting for the next scare/kill, only to be disappointed by it. But I suppose if you are a 14 year old girl, like the majority of the theater was, then I suppose it might scare you, but for a man who has been a horror nerd since childhood, this just didn't do it at all for me, I was truly disappointed. the devil's candy release date
ReplyDeleteThe acting was just so generic it ruined many aspects of the film. Not only did I not relate with these characters, I didn't care if they died or not, which can be an essential aspect of such a horror film as this. Also in the tense moments of suspense, their acting wasn't convincing enough to make the scene actually suspenseful. watch Avengers Infinity War online free hd And another thing I just cant stand is that stupid CGI face-morphing that goes on. Not just in this movie, but in all movies, where the face screams but its mouth is CGI'ed to make it look bigger. Ugh it just sooooooo takes me out of the scare and honestly makes me laugh in embarrassment for whoever thought it looked good. As a horror veteran, these films make me sad, If you are an easily frightened child, go see it, but if you are a horror veteran like myself, this will only disgust you.
