Yeah. He was born in London in the 1920s. I thinks he's mostly based in New Orleans when he starts fighting vampires though.

You not wrong but I prefer the Brooklyn retcon.

I didn't even know they reconned it. I guess it makes sense but I liked the international feel of the character. Most of his early appearances were in Europe.

Interesting and intelligent take on Black Panther

This guy puts together some details and some thought and movie information that a lot of us didn't recognize at the time.

When Okoye, T'Challa & Nakia walk into the casino there is the red, Black and green of the African American flag for example.

I'm halfway through the video. Good video

Women in Hollywood have been fighting to be referring to themselves as actor for years now.

But I also thought it was unnecessary
Some have.

Most have not.

In this case it is spectacularly insulting because Bassett spent her whole speech calling herself a Black female actress and speaking on behalf of black women everywhere.

Think about that cuz.

Yeah, I loved those guides too. But that video had characters from all over fiction from Game of Thrones to Lord of the Rings so I know there's some bullshit afoot.

Bro?

I stopped taking any these things seriously a long time ago.

As long as it's not on some racist misogynistic?

It's all just comic book shop talk brought online.

We just had a government agency take time to figure out how much the home alone family had the money to buy that big house.

You don't have to tell me. I was just having a discussion about who was richer between Bruce Wayne and Tony Stark with coworkers a few weeks ago

Speaking of racist and misogynist (this is a bit off-topic) but I was surprised how toxic GTA's fanbase is.

Angela Bassett reflects on losing Best Supporting Actress to Jamie Lee Curtis: 'It was, of course, a supreme disappointment'​

"I thought I handled it very well, and that was my intention: to handle it very well," the "Black Panther: Wakanda Forever" star said.

Angela Bassett is contemplating her loss at last year’s Oscars.

In a new interview with Oprah Winfrey, the What’s Love Got to Do with It? actor spoke about her experience at the 95th Academy Awards, where she was nominated for Best Supporting Actress for her performance as Queen Ramonda in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever , but ultimately lost to Jamie Lee Curtis in Everything Everywhere All at Once. “I thought I handled it very well, and that was my intention: to handle it very well,” Bassett said. “It was, of course, a supreme disappointment, and disappointment is human, so yes, I was disappointed, and I handled it like a human being.”

Winfrey noted that she didn’t understand why Bassett’s muted reaction to Curtis’ win went viral. “I didn't get the whole ‘Angela Bassett face,’” she said. “I thought, wow, you can see that [you] expected another thing, but you were still as gracious as a queen would be.”



“Absolutely. For myself and for my children, who were there with me, yes,” Bassett responded. "I know a pastor who says ‘technology is different — people are the same.’ There are going to be these moments of disappointment that they are going to experience. But how do you handle yourself in the midst of them? We're going to smile, we're going to be gracious, we're going to be kind — we got a party anyway.”



Bassett’s nomination was a historic milestone: she was the first actor in any category to receive an Oscar nom for a performance in a Marvel Cinematic Universe movie (though other actors had previously been nominated for non-Marvel comic book movies, like Paul Newman in Road to Perdition, Heath Ledger in The Dark Knight, and Joaquin Phoenix in Joker). Bassett won a Critics’ Choice Award and a Golden Globe for Wakanda Forever, so some prognosticators expected she might take home an Oscar as well — but Curtis’ victory at the SAG Awards led others (including EW) to predict a victory for the Everything Everywhere All at Once star instead.

It took no time at all for Bassett to get her groove back, though. In January, the Strange Days actress received an honorary Academy Award at the 2024 Governor’s Awards. At the ceremony, Bassett delivered a rousing speech to encourage other Black performers. "To my fellow Black actresses, fill your hearts with courage and strength because regardless of what you may see or think or feel, your contributions do matter," she said.



"Take comfort knowing that your performances have given hope, offered a different perspective and for others just pure joy in a time of need," she continued in her speech. "Never allow fear, frustration, or disappointment to get in the way of the blessings that are divinely and deservedly yours. Remember who you are and who our ancestors intended us to be. I proudly share this honor with women who stand up when they are told to stand back, who speak up when they are silenced, who remain determined when they are told they are defeated."
