re: #271 scottslemmons

I wish I could find this — I think it was on Facebook somewhere, and the author deleted it — but I’ve read that conservatives and Trump supporters in particular are fucking terrified of the Black Panther movie. A black superhero — headlining his own major motion picture — in a world where an African country is the most advanced on Earth? It’s a direct fuck-you to everything they’ve ever been told.

I wouldn’t bet against Trump eventually attacking the movie on Twitter. And therefore, I wouldn’t bet against the movie doing even better than anticipated as a result.

Which makes me want even more the rumors that T’Challa/Black Panther will be taking Tony Stark’s place as the organizing figure in the next phase of the Marvel Universe.
