101836, the league of afros
Posted by tex, Wed Jan-10-07 10:08 AM
who remembers shazam and his league of elders?

imagine the young hero, in times of doubt, diving into the swirling vortex of a bass drum or sumshit, and re-emerging on a mountain top facing the league of afros. or better yet, as an 8 yr old kid with a bigass fro, chilling in front of a tv with a bowl of cereal, and the ppl in the tv are the elders.

they're all lounging in the temple, and at the base of their thrones would be plaques with their names on them. off the top:

dr. j
don cornelius
tito jackson
weird al
angela davis
and
pam grier as "foxy mochalatte"

the elders drop knowledge on lil ?uesto in the voices of their characters (tito could background sing everything) and we all learn a thing or two before we're through. i see ?uest constantly fuckinup and calling pam 'pam' ("thank u miss grier"), and her correcting him ("foxy!")

i'm not in love with the characters themselves (except for foxy), moreso the concept- like maybe replace tito with sly stone... but yeah
