Theory: Korg's Tragic Connection to Thor

Photo courtesy Bustle       One of the best things to come out of the Thor franchise (and one of the most talked about absences in Infinity War ) was Korg, the talking pile of rocks with a penchant for rock-paper-scissors jokes and starting revolutions. But why was he so obsessed with starting a revolution? As per usual, I'm gonna overanalyze the heck out of the MCU and come to a shocking conclusion: it's because his father was brutally murdered while trying to start a revolution of his own. And Thor is the one who killed him.       In the third Thor movie, Korg explains how he became a gladiator, explaining, "I tried to start a revolution, but didn't print enough pamphlets so hardly anyone turned up.

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.

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.
