However, I feel like I must be missing something--and reading various reviews it appears to be references to African and African-diaspora cultures--because I have so many friends who are raving about how stunning the movie is. I'm recognizing that the fictional country of Wakanda as a bright imagining of how we could be is very important and that this is a culturally significant turning point in movie making. While I liked "Black Panther" more than I did "Guardians of the Galaxy I," "Captain America: Civil War" or even "Thor: Ragnarock", for me "Dr. Strange" was more enjoyable (but then again, I've always had a soft spot for the Sorcerer Supreme--and Mark says this makes me an outlyer.)
And of course I want some of the hats in "Black Panther"... especially the toroidal cross-section ones.
On the writing front: I managed to get about 2000 words in Tuesday. I think 1500 are fairly solid... and we'll see how much of them are still in place after a few editing rounds. The trick will be doing 2000 words a few days in a row. Did I say trick, I meant requirement.
