Black Panther and Thor: Ragnarok have knocked it out the park with story, character development, action, and comedy.  Thor: Ragnarok brought new life to Thor on the big screen, and Black Panther has shown Hollywood an all-black cast can break records at the box office.  Infinity War has done something unique that only Marvel has pulled off successfully.  It made me see a movie twice in one day!!!

In the movie Black Panther, the hype train was real when we were able to see Black Panther, Wakanda and the celebration of both Afro-Futurism and the research and dedication done to make this movie one of the best MCU movies since Iron Man.
