Previous Post I think Hudlin has done a good job getting a Black Panther cartoon on the air on BET or any other TV station, but I think someone else should have creative control over the show. Hopefully what we see in the cartoon will not mimic what we see in the current Panther comic series, because it would just be redundant, I think. I'm hoping that Priest, Don McGregor and other past Panther writers are given the chance to submit scripts for the cartoon, to give the program a more serious tone. And I'm also hoping that the animation is realistic, and not that anime-type animation which seems to be everywhere these days. I would LOVE to see Priest's "The Client" arc be the first five or so episodes of the cartoon. I think Priest's Panther should be the model for this cartoon. This is a grand opportunity, and hopefully BET won't mess it up. I wonder if we'll also be able to get action figures, based on the cartoon...

Absolutely.

And it would also proceed to suck.

Agreed. On all counts.

I agree Priest's work should be the basis for this program. But I also believe BET will, more than likely, not head in that direction and, indeed, find a way to "mess it up."

I just had to laugh at this.

I mean, you write a pretty intelligent post and display a great sense of taste. But then wonder if action figures will be made available?

Ha. I really hope you're speaking for your kids...
