Chadwick Boseman, the Black Panther, dead at 43

 

2020 is so vicious, it’s even taking our fucking superheroes.

Here’s some gratitude to the Black Panther. Boseman has the distinct honor of being not only an American cinema icon but a Marvelous mythical god “lower case G.” Watch the adults in the below video express why the character and Boseman’s performance are so important, then imagine the hordes of children in Black Panther masks, all around our beautiful blue home planet, from those in theater seats back when he first played Black Panther in Captain America: Civil War all the way through until time forgets cinema, playing out their own fundamentally world-shaking dramas in their bedrooms, sure to defeat the villain’s master plan, save the universe, and be a selfless leader and role model. What a legacy.

Until the next snap, Chadwick...
