Hilarious New Easter Eggs Found in Black Panther

Like any Marvel fan with too much time on their hands, I was rewatching Black Panther when I noticed the interesting Wakandan text in the background of many of the scenes. Now, translation keys for the Wakandan alphabet were available online even around the time the main trailer was released, but when I tried translating one of the signs, I just got "HIJKL." Which spells nothing. Absolutely nothing.
But this time, I decided to give it another go. I started with the writing on the shoes Shuri built for T'Challa, and what I found was pretty interesting. Check out my video below:

So please, join me in the hunt for more translation Easter eggs in Black Panther! I used this key someone posted on Imgur, which came from an official behind-the-scenes booklet Brisk Tea released. Happy hunting, and Wakanda Forever.

Why Green Hornet is the Most Underrated Superhero Movie Ever Made

In the year before Marvel's The Avengers would completely revolutionize superhero filmmaking, we had movies like X-Men: First Class, Thor, Green Lantern, and Captain America: The First Avenger . That year, we also saw a superhero film of a different kind, Michel Gondry's adaptation of The Green Hornet series, which starred Seth Rogen and Jay Chou. Despite being panned by critics (it boasts a mighty 43% on Rotten Tomatoes!), this film is definitely worth a second watch, for beneath the action and the juvenile humor lies a clever and unique deconstruction of superheroes, comic book movies, and most importantly, sidekicks. Seth Rogen plays Britt Reid, whose life is sent tumbling into a directionless abyss when his father dies of a bee sting. Like many superheroes, he is driven to vigilantism by his father's death -- kind of. Once his father is...

Whatever Happened to Tarantino's Luke Cage Movie?

I'm not necessarily a die-hard fan of Tarantino (although Django Unchained was fantastic), but of all of Hollywood's tales of lost films, this is one of the most intriguing. In the interview, Tarantino said he would have liked to have cast Laurence Fishburne as Luke, which would have been amazing given Fishburne's versatility as an actor and Luke Cage's penchant for combining comedy with drama. Tarantino's comic-loving friends, however, thought Wesley Snipes would make a better Luke Cage, given his physique, and this frustrated Tarantino so much that he decided his efforts would be better spent creating original material than adapting existing characters. But what would his version have looked like, anyway...

Whatever Happened to "Next Avengers: Heroes of Tomorrow"?

But there's one Marvel Animated Feature that I can't help but love because it dares to answer the age-old question, "What if the Avengers had a bunch of kids, and then most of the Avengers died off, and then Tony Stark's old robot buddy Ultron came to ruin everything?" Enter the 2008 film Next Avengers: Heroes of Tomorrow . Picture a cross between "Old Man Logan" and "Age of Ultron" with some "A-Next" thrown in for good measure, except it's not really based on any of them. The premise? Most of the Avengers are gone, and their kids are left in the care of Old Man Tony Stark. Making up our cast of powered preteens are Pym (Ant-Man and Wasp's son), Azari (Black Panther and Storm's son),...
