Although celebrating a network's big audience numbers is not the way to do this, the results are quite impressive.

 

Although I've seen Black Panther multiple times in different formats, it was cool seeing it as a ABC network premiere tribute. It was kind of like seeing it for the first time again. The tribute was touching and informative.

Whoopi Goldberg requests for Disney theme parks to build a Black Panther Wakanda experience to honor Chadwick Boseman. This statement comes days after the news of Boseman's tragic death. As most Marvel fans know, Wakanda is a hidden country in Africa that has advanced weapons and technology in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

 

Boseman recently passed after a 4-year battle with colon cancer. The actor rose to prominence for his work in biopics such as 42 and Get on Up, but he gained worldwide recognition for his work as T'Challa in Black Panther and a handful of other films in the MCU. Black Panther, which grossed a whopping $1.3 billion, was praised for not only bringing diversity to the MCU but for tackling themes of race and celebrating Black culture. In fact, Black Panther currently ranks in the top 20 highest-grossing films of all time, which has never been achieved by a film led by a predominantly black cast. Since his death, many have found ways to honor Boseman, and Goldberg has pitched an idea to Disney.
