Marvel fans waste no time in pointing out that Wakanda, just like Chicago, was created by white people

Black Panther is quite rightly considered a hugely culturally important movie for the African diaspora. It’s written and directed by Ryan Coogler, boasts a stacked cast of incredible Black actors, and leans heavily into Afro-futurist aesthetics. Soon after its release, critic Natasha Alford summed it up in The New York Times as “a master class in what it means to be proud of who you are”.

But it perhaps shouldn’t be forgotten that, despite all the above, Black Panther and Wakanda were created by two Jewish New Yorkers, Stan Lee and Jack Kirby. This is being called out on social media after a post unfavorably comparing Chicago to Wakanda:

At least one person thinks Ana de Armas deserves the Best Actress Oscar, which is something

Pedro Almodóvar is a self-professed fan of Andrew Dominik’s incredibly controversial Marilyn Monroe biopic Blonde, starring Ana de Armas. After praising her performance back in May of last year, when most of the world had yet to watch and chastise the film, the acclaimed Spanish auteur is doubling down on his love for the actress’ take on the blonde bombshell, following her Oscar nomination.

De Armas’ Oscar nod caused quite the uproar among the film community, not necessarily because of her performance, but because many believe a film like Blonde shouldn’t have been given any kind of recognition. The Netflix picture, based on the eponymous biographical fiction novel by Joyce Carol Oates, has been criticized for offering an exploitative depiction of the Hollywood icon. For Almodóvar however, there is no doubt about it – de Armas deserves the Oscar.

Long Beach congressman Robert Garcia took it upon himself to threaten The Suicide Squad and Peacemaker creator with an official hearing if the announcement wasn’t made by the end of the month, which just so happens to be the end of tomorrow. Needless to say, being accosted by Washington captured the filmmaker’s attention.
