Colin Covert, a critic from the Minneapolis Star Tribune, called the film, “A big and bold change of focus in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Black Panther pushes past many of the clichéd plot devices, archetypes and for- mulas of standard comic book blockbusters.” Another critic, Helen Lewis from New States- man, wrote “Black Panther is not just smart and politically aware Many viewers have walked away from Black Panther preferring Killmonger — a cold-blooded killer — over the protagonist. for a superhero film — it’s smart PHOTO COURTESY OF MARVEL and politically aware, full stop.” Another reviewer, Ed Power from Irish Independent, credited with the film’s first “rotten” review, writes who wants to use Wakandan of some of its fans.

I WENT TO KOREA for a tour of the demilitarized zone (DMZ) and then onto Busan to pay my respects to the 516 young Cana- dians who died, according to the United Nations Memorial, fighting ‘Communist aggression.’ I wanted to get a feel for what took place during the 1950-1953 Korean War. I wanted to see what a new out- break of hostilities might look like were the United States to resume bombing North Korea. I figured it was safe to travel because the Americans would wait at least until after the Winter Olympics had ended if they were planning to launch a second Korean War.
