The 100 is a sci-fi show on The CW. But I feel what you're saying about this new development in Black Panther. I got a feeling that racism, colonialism, and imperialism will take a back seat to black male sexism and promotion of alternative lifestyles, something more trendy and in keeping with mollifying liberal, homosexual, and feminist sentiments if the book continues along this line.
I don't agree with what Randolph said in her video about the art, but I can feel what she's saying about the writing. Even Coates admits at the back of the book that he doesn't know if this will suck or not. It's his first time. So I have to wonder if you are a new reader to Panther, did this issue make you want to see more? T'Challa is beset by problems and mostly ineffectual in addressing them-right off the bat Wakanda is associated with failure, Ramonda is draconian, there was more time spent on the Dora Milaje relationship (not to mention knocking Panther in the process) than on a sexual/romantic relationship involving Panther. Did this book make Panther's actions and Panther look bad ass? Did it do enough to hook casual readers, like I'm assuming Randolph is? I would say no.
Perhaps I'm being too harsh. I've already subscribed and I'm willing to see how this goes. But I do see signs of trouble. I mean when Coates said in an earlier interview that race would not be something he would address immediately, and who knows how long, yet we get possible T'Challa (black male) sexism I was worried. I later heard about the homosexual relationship before picking up the book and started suspecting what time it was. T'Challa does not belong to us, I got to remind myself. He belongs to Marvel and they are going to use him as how they see fit.
