I saw ‘Black Panther’ last night and My Life is Better for it (My Non-Spoiler Review)
Black Panther isn’t a hero “who happens to be Black,” rather Black identity is central and crucial to the story of his fantastic first MCU solo film.

A fascinating true story is given the worst made-for-tv treatment in biopic.
