Black Panther is finally here!

This may the most anticipated film of all time!  (At least for Afrikan descendants in America). 

The symbolism and symmetry.
The aesthetics, costumes and music.
The action, technology and cultural references.
The opening story, the geography and the traditions.
The Xhosa language and the ancestors.
The star power and black writers and directors.

It was controversial and mind-blowing, groundbreaking and entertaining.
It was Marvel, it was Stan Lee and his stance on breaking racial barriers.  
It was Black History Month scheme and a childhood dream. 

Who knew?  Who knew that a comic-based movie would be all that? 

​Regardless of the naysayers and critics - It was simply well done and long overdue.  The conversations and debates will probably be enlightening and maybe even viscous and will go on for quite some time.  But for now, I would prefer enjoying the moment.
