Black Panther

I feel like it would have to be February, right? And I know, Mike, we've talked about this a few times with the Batman.

But you got Black Panther.

You got Deadpool.

I feel like there's something else.

Was it Fifty Shades in there? So I feel like – and I guess it's not a sleep – like you can't say Batman's a sleeper.

But I feel like how Black Panther did was like people slept on it being that – like the biggest domestic MCU movie of all time, like that sort of stuff.

Maybe Spider-Man passed it.

I don't know.

there's a hand.

That's definitely not true because like a black Panther.

Right.

I

But people showed up.

I also think, too, we've got to look at when that movie was released.

Black Panther? No, no, no.

Cap 4.

Josh, on this Halloween-themed episode, what you got cooking for us on the way out?

Black Panther.

Yes, very good, very good.

One of my all-time favorites in the MCU.

Your thoughts, my friend, on Black Panther?

One, I hated how divisive everyone was trying to make this movie.

It was right before COVID that this came out, if I remember correctly.

What I liked about it the most is that you didn't have to watch everything else.

Josh, on this Halloween-themed episode, what you got cooking for us on the way out?

yes very good very good one of my all-time favorites in the mcu your thoughts my friend on black panther

okay one i hated how divisive everyone was trying to make this movie right like everyone's like like uh it was in the middle of um uh it was right before covet that this came out right if i remember correctly

yeah the woke go broke thing goes uh off the off the rails when it comes to weight because that movie made well over a billion dollars so

You didn't have to watch everything else.

There was not really any ties outside of... what ulysses s claw talking making some reference to to um so i don't remember what exactly the reference was but you don't really have to you don't have to have any background knowledge on the mcu you just walked in and watched it i mean i think that that's where the mcu shines the most is when it's not trying to be connective tissue to other things and this movie really succeeded in that

absolutely an outstanding film uh great call again it is of course the black panther movie that's really helped just propel the MCU forward.

But, like, that it had this sort of, like, spiritualist slash Afrofuturist moment.

And it felt like the parts of Black Panther that I liked.

I'm not an MCU person.

Yeah, I loved Black Panther.

And I don't really have strong opinions about any superhero movie.

Mm-hmm.

But I do really like...

Yeah, I really, really love Black Panther.

Well, she played Ayo.

And the Black Panther, it's kind of a law that we have to include

anybody

in

the Black Panther in the celebrity birthdays.

Wakanda forever.

Exactly.

And I hope they didn't get Michael B. Jordan.

What's his name? In Black Panther? He's from Wakanda or whatever, but, I mean, to me, he's Creed.

Creed.

To me, he's Creed.

Because, and I haven't watched...

What's the one with Black Panther in it? Michael Jordan, B.

Jordan.

Sinners.

Welcome back.

Now it's time to kick things off with our discussion of the back half of the fifth season of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., episodes 11 through 22 of season five, released between March 2018 and May 2018, which you may know as the time that Marvel was airing such films in theaters as Black Panther and Avengers Infinity War.

This series does not feature Thanos, although he does come up once or twice.

Bill, have you seen what's going on in New York? Do you see that on the news, by the way?
