Welcome to Part 3 of the big A.I.M. base assault! See Part 1 and Part 2 here, if you like!
There’s nothing that I can write about Chadwick Boseman that hasn’t already been written or said, better than I can write or say it. I hope that, in my little corner of the internet, that I show respect to his performance of T’Challa, and that I can continue to find ways for the Black Panther to say and do awesome and insightful things.
On a much lighter note, I said that I had Klaw reference ‘It’s Raining Men’ in his first appearance in the Phil Wrede Marvel Action Figure Comic Universe because of the little conversation Klaw and Everett Ross had in the first Black Panther about the mixtape he may or may not have been releasing. However, I really had Klaw reference ‘It’s Raining Men’ because, for one episode of The Simpsons (Season 6, Episode 11, “Fear of Flying”) that the song is Homer Simpson’s favorite song, and I physically cannot help myself from making as many Simpsons references as possible. However, I liked how that one song title reference turned out, and made it a priority to have Klaw make other song references, when possible. I thought it was a fun way to put a button on that character trait, by having T’Challa reference the lyrics of a song from the Black Panther soundtrack as he finished beating Klaw unconscious here, but the mileage you get from that joke may vary.
