A few Black Panther links
First of all, a quick shout-out to Doctor Who's black, bald, female General:
Do I maybe have a type?
In short, the world might be going to hell, but our stories are getting SO MUCH MORE DIVERSE! Here's to having SO MANY black female generals for SO LONG that it becomes a dull trope. Say the next 100 years? :)
Black Panther Is More Than a Superhero Movie
The director Ryan Coogler's addition to the Marvel pantheon is a superb genre film—and quite a bit more.
Everyone loves Shuri: The history and importance of Marvel’s teenage tech genius
ANALYSIS | She has the kind of confidence that every little girl needs to see
The Provocation and Power of Black Panther
The biggest success of the new Marvel film isn’t representation, but its contemplation of identity, responsibility, and the future of a diaspora in an interconnected world.
Okoye’s Judgment Call
Director Ryan Coogler Talks ‘Black Panther’s Unbroken Casino Fight Shot, Obama’s Influence, and More
Why Shuri, Black Panther’s teen girl genius, is Marvel’s most promising character in ages
Twitter: WOOF WOOF WOOF
Sidebar: Thor was on telly last night. Watched a bit, and yet again wanted to punch something or someone. Like... it's all perfectly fine, but when you know something about ACTUAL Norse mythology, it's just an incredible mystery as to why they took something so amazing and just made it follow the same narrative as almost every other story ever...
Take Loki. He's a very appealing character, he's well acted etc etc. (even if he's saddled with dreary 'Oh noes I am adopted!' issues). But the 'real' Loki was a pan-sexual, gender-fluid shape-shifting Trickster god...
Which I guess is a bit too much for Hollywood. They can barely make more than very very coy allusions to Deadpool's bisexuality.
