Black panther--how comics changed the world
One of the most anticipated films of the year, Black Panther, has broken records for prerelease ticket sales. it is the story of the king of a highly sophisticated and technologically advanced African nation. Not only is there a cultural connection, but a scientific one as well. One of the main messages throughout marvel comics is how science can be liberating and the choices made by the powers science and technology can grant. "So much of our imagined science-fiction futures have been written by white men. Black voices have rarely been given room in popular culture to explore their conceptions of what a future could, or should, look like."
I have actually seen the movie and it was great. I was able to spot many cultural aspects throughout the film which made me happy. the scientific and technological advancements seen in the film were mesmerizing as well. Overall I think this article lives up to the movie well enough, that's why I found it pretty interesting.
