Black Panther!

Of course you knew we were going to see this movie.  We’ve seen just about every Marvel superhero movie.

What I expect from a superhero movie:  a hero I can root for, villains to hate, lots of action, some humor.

Black Panther delivered all that, and more.

James Bond-like technology and glamour.  Strong, admirable female characters.  And the richness of African culture.

(And that last one is getting the bigots angry.  Pity.)

There’s the ubiquitous Stan Lee cameo.  Hard to believe that man is in his 90’s.

And not one, but two —yes, two — post credit bonus scenes.

I won’t spoil it for you ...

But we, the audience, have been set up for Avengers:Infinity War.  And I can hardly wait until May.
