Personally, I've never been a big Black Panther fan. He was always just a 3rd rate uninteresting character to me. Having said that though, the movie does look pretty good.

Impressive - incredible cast they've put together - may be my favorite lineup of any of the Marvel movies, on paper.

Love the look of the warriors in the second photo. Still think it's an odd look for Zuri, but Forest will pull it off.

I love this article:

Black Panther director Ryan Coogler has a moving story about the day Marvel hired him

Ryan Coogler knows what’s at stake.

“I’m a fan myself. And I find … I’m honored, man, to be on a project that people care about this much,” the director says.

After debuting in Fantastic Four #52 in 1966, Black Panther went on to star in the series Jungle Action, then became his own headliner. Over the decades, he became a continued source of inspiration to many kids, especially those with brown skin who had never seen themselves represented in comic book pages.

Coogler was one of them.

“When I first discovered comic books and superheroes, I remember falling in love with X-Men the first time I saw Bishop. I was like, ‘Holy smokes, there’s a black X-Man?’” says Coogler, who’s now 31.

“Then I found out Stan Lee talked about how Malcolm X and Martin Luther King were some of his inspirations for Magneto and Professor X. So I was like, ‘Jeez, my culture is influencing this!’ And this is being referenced. But I always did long for that one [black] superhero who the whole book was around. The same way I could pick up a Captain America book or a Spider-Man book.”

So the future director of Fruitvale Station and Creed visited the Dr Comics & Mr Games store near his elementary school in Oakland, Calif. “I remember going in there saying ’You got any black superheroes? Got anybody who looks like me?’” Coogler recalls. “The first thing they did was walk me over to Black Panther.”

Now he’s doing the same thing, both telling the T’Challa’s story, but also making the introduction to a much wider audience.

“He’s making this movie for his 8-year-old self. That’s why you do it,” says Kevin Feige, president of Marvel Studios and the architect of its 18-movie (and counting) interlocked franchise.

“Most importantly, you do it for other 8-year-olds, to inspire the next generation the way we were inspired,” Feige adds. “And in this case, when Ryan was growing up, perhaps there weren’t that many of these heroes to be inspired by that looked like him.”

We’re sitting in the Marvel Studios offices on the Walt Disney Studios lot, where Coogler and Feige are taking a break from editing the movie. Feige urges the director to tell the rest of the story — what happened the day he got the job directing Black Panther.

“Yeah, it was really my wife,” Coogler says, rubbing his neck and smiling sheepishly. “The day I took the job was an out-of-body experience. She was like, let’s go to that same shop that you told me about. It’s on Piedmont Avenue.”

So they got in the car and drove back to the neighborhood where Coogler went to grade school. Dr Comics & Mr Games is still going strong.

“We went in and I bought the two Black Panther comic books I could find,” Coogler says. “I was like, you got to take a picture of me. And I sent it to Kevin.”

Just imagine if the kid who first walked into that store, way back when, could see it, too…

I've been to the comic book shop Coogler referenced in the article a few times, but I never knew this story. Now, that I do, I'll probably stop by there over the weekend.

I hope the scene Coogler filmed regarding

Oakland in the 1990s makes it pass the cutting room floor.

That's a neat poster, and especially refreshing after the Homecoming disaster.

The world building for Wakanda, especially the character designs are beautiful. Asgard feels so artificial to me with a couple of exceptions, but the MCU Wakanda and its people feel very organic. It does feel like they've been a culture for a very, very long time. Those photos are gorgeous. I cannot wait to see the cosplays that are going to explode as a result of this movie.

Added bonus: The terrific cast only makes it better.

Love the visuals - really amazing stuff, and the tech looks unique and different than Tony's, which is also cool. Some of the dialogue is shaky, but it's a trailer.

Expect it will be great.

I'll be watching to see how Black Panther does at the box office since it's a February release and in China.

I thought the trailer was outstanding as there were alot of great visuals and I don't feel like it gave anything way in regards to major spoilers.
