Black Panther is the superhero of the month in memory of Chadwick Boseman. T’Challa is the king of the secretive and highly advanced African nation of Wakanda – as well as the powerful warrior known as the Black Panther. His powers consisted of: heightened senses, night vision, hand-to-hand combat, and superhuman strength

The Marvel Cinematic Universe started way back in 2008 with Iron Man, who was played by Robert Downy Jr., the MCU is now in phase 4 beginning with Black Widow. We are in Covid, so Black Widow will not release until 2021. This pushes back some amazing MCU projects back like Falcon and the Winter Soldier. They were supposed to be released in August 2020, but will now be release sometime in 2021. As an MCU fan, this is really irritating and I hope to hear more news later as the Covid time passes.

A good treat is that on September 4, a new game called Marvel Avengers came out, you can look for it at Best Buy, it is a really good game. I should know, since I have it. As of recently, an MCU hero has tragically passed away from Cancer at 43, Chadwick Boseman, a true Marvel hero to the black community. Wakanda Forever! Boseman played a great character and King, he will be missed by many MCU fans.

My favorite movie overall is Avengers: Endgame with my favorite character being Thor. 

Anakin Skywalker will be our Star Wars character of the month, if you are a Star Wars fan, you know who this is. I picked him since he is the chosen one and he is also my favorite character. Star Wars is 43 years old, WOW, it started all the way back in 1977 by George Lucas with A New Hope. It is now 2020 and Star Wars is still a big hit with the continuation of the new shows airing on Disney + and upcoming movies in 2022.

The most recent thing that will be starting back up from Star Wars is the second season of “The Mandalorian”, coming out October 30 around Halloween, how exciting! I enjoy everything about the movies and shows that come out. I get all the things that I can to make the movies more enjoyable. One thing that is coming out as of Spring 2021, is ¨Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga¨, it is a new creation that will hold all 9 movies and will have downloadable content packs from the Star Wars Universe. When I heard about this, it was music to my ears. I would have the game if it was not for Covid, since it was suppose to come out around summer. I recently saw the trailer and it was amazing, you can find it on Youtube, easily.

My favorite Star Wars movie from the prequels is “Episode 3: Revenge of the Sith”, my favorite original is “Empire Strikes Back”, and my favorite sequel movie is “Rise of Skywalker”. My favorite story is “Solo: A Star Wars Story” because my second favorite character is Han Solo and my favorite ship throughout the Star Wars Universe is the Falcon.

As before, I enjoy making little quizzes for fans, but this one is a little different, this is an open-ended question one, so if you want to tell me your answers, they will go straight to this email [email protected].
