trust me. I'm with you. folk are CAMPAIGNING for Black Panther like we are owed this and we aren't. by virtue of the fact of WHO Feige/Marvel is talking about for the other phases and BP ain't on that list is telling...

and folk just won't accept that Chewitel, etc. is too old and everyone else being named if there IS a BP movie would Marvel even LOOK at them, etc. star power or not?

RIGHT?! the movie was so good..the first one was great because it was quite realistic and placed in a reality that worked for folks...

THANK YOU. But, like I said above..i'ma let these heauxs and fools COOK ON THIS ONE. I really am. they aren't ready to hear the truth.

and I would love to see BP (hell, can my ass hurry up and get repped so I can get a shot at WRITING a draft of it?! thanks!), but it actually happening...i don't think so. not anytime BEFORE 2020...if at all.
