Comic book expert Erik Laws is back with Erik Childress to discuss the bittersweet return to the land of Wakanda. Unfortunately, that return is more bitter than sweet as they talk about the numerous missed opportunities in trying to eulogize its fallen star, Chadwick Boseman, and the scurry of Shuri to ultimately replace him. Marvel may have finally found themselves with the opportunity to elevate its female heroes to the forefront only to see them pulling their gut-punches and losing ground to its new male villain and a real questionable decision in the T’Challa line of succession. All this after setting audiences on just the right path and then getting lost in one anti-climactic narrative after another. Hear more about the origins of Namor and thoughts on what genre Marvel could have used to honor this sequel and end this Phase on a high note rather than a sour one.
