Agree totally on Guardians.
On Black Panther, it was sort of like a Bond film. For those offended by the fantasy version of Africa, it was so over the top as to be a bit of a parody of African stereotypes. If the movie had been made by conservatives it would have been called racist.
Wife and I think the villain would have made a better black panther. But anyway, let black kids have a Marvel franchise with characters they can look up to. It certainly promotes education and other virtues. Just imho.
I can get with that.
The irony is that the real “Captain Marvel” in the Marvel Universe was a black woman, and the diversity crowd whitewashed her out of existence.
The character in the movie of that title is actually “Ms. Marvel” in the Marvel Universe - a completely different character.
So there was already a role model for black kids to look up to - and she was eliminated for being inconvenient.
