re: Black Panther Tomato Watch 98%

It may be a very good movie... but I'm fairly bleh about Black Panther as a character.

I don't think it is racism, or maybe it is and I have a KKK outfit stalking me in my dreams.

Rather its that I don't care for the character.

By which I mean, in the comics Black Panther used to be fairly interesting secondary character... which isn't an insult, lets face it he's not going to outsell most of Marvel's big names. He could be a bit of an arrogant arse but at heart he meant well.

The last fifteen years or so he's morphed from a bit of an arrogant arse to a Mary Sue character who is a complete and utter a-hole.

He has a cure for cancer! Which he won't share with the rest of the world. He declares war on Dr. Doom... despite both countries being land locked tiny nations (and the two characters never displayed any real hatred for each other to be honest). He marries Storm of the X-men! Even though the characters had never met before (the writer thought the most prominent black characters in the Marvel Universe should marry).

Sure, the MCU version of the character is different from the comics version of the character but with every other character that has had a movie made about them... at least I wanted to see them based on their appearances in the Comics.
