…..so I enjoyed reading this from one of my idols.

“Supergirl” Coming To CBS, And No-Longer-Teen “Titans” Comes To TNT? WOW!
Didn’t know about that–and didn’t know about how DC is really trying to create a shared TV universe. And I have wanted a grown-up version of The Teen Titans (I don’t count “Young Justice,” because I see that more as a different, “Legion of Superheroes”-type concept) for a loooong time.
My Journal Article On The Black Press (Co-Authored With UDC’s Olive Vassell)………….

The Never-Aired 2011 “Wonder Woman” Pilot

This was one of those things I kept meaning to find and watch! It’s OK. Perhaps the problem was the producers tried to modernize the concept a bit too much. Making Wondy a post-911 thuggish solo operative was a bit jarring.
Arundhati Roy On Malala Yousafzai
And her comments on Mahatma Gandhi do mirror what I’ve heard from Pan-Africanists/Black nationalists, from John Henrik Clarke on down.
“The Ages Of The Avengers” Has Been Published!
Which is a big deal to me, since I wrote a chapter, “The Spy King: How Christopher Priest’s Version of the Black Panther Shook Up Earth’s Mightiest Heroes!”
The book’s “Table Of Contents” can be found here.
The Rest of Marvel’s “Phase 3:” “Guardians Of The Galaxy 2,” “Thor: Ragnarok (a.k.a. “Thor 3″),” “Captain Marvel,” “Inhumans”
Enjoyed the first, particularly since I knew most of the villains from the comics. Can’t wait to see what is next, since, with Thanos as the baddie, I kinda know a little! LOL!
The “Thor” movies keep getting better, and with Loki and that title, how can it lose?
If anybody can take out Wonder Woman at the box office, it’s Carol Danvers!
As Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige said, with the amount of characters to deal with here, this could be a whole group of films right here!
******************************************
So what have we learned from all this? That especially when we count the Nextflix deal, Marvel has LOST ITS DAMN MIND!!!! LMFAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
But what about Black Widow and the Hulk, the two utility characters in the Avengers movies? asked USA Today.
(And no SHIELD movie! Sorry, Sam! You’ll just have to continue being THE MAN is alladeese! LOL!)
(I also wonder how angry fanboys/girls are with the idea that Tony Stark/Iron Man will not be in his own movies. I think his trilogy is done, and I’m glad.)
MOVIE-LOVERS, PLEASE NOTE: I found a combined list of all of the announced Marvel (those that are part of “Phase Three” as well as not) and DC films here. My count is 31 films (!) over the next six (!) years!
And it is wrong–ungrateful, even!–to ask for The Silver Surfer? It is? Okay! I’ll wait! LOL! 🙂
Marvel’s “Phase Three:” “Doctor Strange”
The man who has made me a fan of Sherlock Holmes becoming Dr. Strange?!? A PERFECT MATCH! Tears of joy are welling in my eyes by just typing this! LOL!
NOVEMBER 1st UPDATE: And lookit the list! NO COMPARISON!
Marvel’s “Phase Three:” “Captain America: Civil War”
This will be an amazing experience!
(I hated the comic, because I thought the characters were just serving the story, not their own established personalities. But the movie characterizations of Cap and Shellhead have done a GREAT job prepping me for it!)
NOVEMBER 2nd UPDATE: And just a reminder how far we’ve come….!
Marvel’s “Phase Three:” “Black Panther!”
GREAT NEWS! We’ve only been waiting 25 years for this, ever since the pre-“Blade” Wesley Snipes used to talk about it!
(But is it now the rule that Chadwick Boesman has to be the lead in EVERY Black movie?!? If they can test out little-known Australian actors for Wolverine and Thor, why not an unknown or little-known African actor?)
Fanboys are saying not to be surprised if you see T’Challa in “Avengers: Age of Ultron” because there is a Klaw sighting in the trailer!
