Comic Doodles 2.0

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. Except for my mum and her boyfriend, who I hate. As punishment, I was forced to be in here and become a gladiator." But Korg (or at least, the MCU version) doesn't seem like the type to start a coup; in the movie, he's quite kind and... well... me...

     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."

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.

     Disney has proved itself a juggernaut once again by purchasing 20th Century Fox, meaning we might one day see the X-Men cross paths with the Avengers. But interestingly, the MCU might have already given us clues suggesting one mutant was already skulking around somewhere off-camera: Wolverine.      Believe it or not, adamantium -- the metal comprising Wolverine's unbreakable claws -- has been mentioned in the Marvel Cinematic Universe before. This might be shocking, considering the Marvel Cinematic Universe is owned by Disney and the X-Men are owned by 20th Century Fox (until this deal receives the necessary approval), but a small detail snuck its way into the MCU undetected: Photo Courtesy Reddit      These are the blueprints for Captain America's shield, close-ups of which appear in the bonus features of Iron Man 2 . If you look closely, you can see a note from Stark that reads, "adamantium alloy -- [too] much bounce." Presuma...
