Wikipedia wrote:
Afrofuturism is a cultural aesthetic, philosophy of science, and philosophy of history that combines elements of science fiction, historical fiction, fantasy, Afrocentrism, and magic realism with non-Western cosmologies in order to critique not only the present-day dilemmas of black people, but also to revise, interrogate, and re-examine the historical events of the past. First coined by Mark Dery in 1993, and explored in the late 1990s through conversations led by scholar Alondra Nelson,[1] Afrofuturism addresses themes and concerns of the African diaspora through a technoculture and science fiction lens, encompassing a range of media and artists with a shared interest in envisioning black futures that stem from Afrodiasporic experiences.[2] Seminal Afrofuturistic works include the novels of Samuel R. Delany and Octavia Butler; the canvases of Jean-Michel Basquiat and Angelbert Metoyer, and the photography of Renée Cox; the explicitly extraterrestrial mythoi of Parliament-Funkadelic, the Jonzun Crew, Warp 9, Deltron 3030, and Sun Ra; and the Marvel Comics superhero Black Panther.[3][4][5]

Hail to the King.

Now, sit, and T'Challa at ya boy.

    Terry O'Quinn playing Admiral Asshole like a pro.

    They also got Ronny Cox to play a huge asshole captain as well. And David Warner famously plays the 4 lights cardassian. They knew how to use character actors well.

    I would like some money because these are artisanal nuggets of wisdom philistine.

    We're planning to see Black Panther on Sunday and hopefully streaming RE7 tonight. Gonna beat it! And do DLC! I think.

    I've also almost got a route planned out for subnautica. The material gathering section at the start is tricky because you can start in a few different places. Actually going through the story stuff shouldn't be too bad.

    I have a crush on Danai Gurira which was only strengthened by seeing her character in the Black Panther trailers. I wish we could go on dates and hold hands <3

    It just occurred to me and then I internally laughed because it's absolutely completely logically consistent.

    I don't really get excited about movies anymore. It'll be a movie, I'll see it. I'll enjoy it. If I really enjoy it, I will plan to see it again in the distant future on HBO.

    I would put them on the low end of the spectrum of my entertainment desires, and I see a fuck ton of movies both before and after MoviePass.

    Games
    Books
    Audiobooks
    Live comedy
    Plays
    Movies
    TV
    Live music
    Podcasts

    In that order. Dunno why it shook out that way.

    Marvel has a real thing for characters who are ludicriously powerful and skilled and from societies that are supposed to be super-advanced, yet seem to be in a nearly constant state of civil war or collapse. Seirously, Wakanda, Atlantis, Asgard, it's a wonder any of them can even function.

    I hardly consume any media anymore. I mostly just refresh a few websites and forums. It’s a bad habit I’m trying to break.

    Wakanda and Asgard have been peaceful for quite a long time. I don't know much about Namor's realm.

    It's depressingly bad. And, okay, I know this is part of the actual Leagues background, but I am TIRED of superheroes fighting aliens in movies. Couldnt they have used, like, the Legion of Doom or something? That would have been awesome
