Film Review: ‘Black Panther’ is the Triumph of the MCU
The first time I watched a film in the MCU, I was in a dollar theater in Sarasota. I had heard “Iron Man” was great, exciting, and something new. To be honest, I straight up did not care. To my knowledge, “Iron Man” was a kind of boring song by Black Sabbath. In 2008, if the…
