This week we had super concert promoter Peter Oasis.

The Gods Must Be Crazy…
Thursday, May 26th, 2011
On a quasi-related note to the Marvel Studios takeover was the controversy generated when it was revealed that Idris Elba was cast in the movie as a Norse god. I wonder why couldn’t there be an African presence in this mythology since the Phoenicians were some of the world’s greatest sailors and certainly had made contact with Scandinavians and other northern Europeans? Anyhoo, white was upset to say the least. First Obama, then this…
Combat Jack showed me an early iteration of the cover with the headline ‘Idris Elba: The Black Man Is God’. I loved that headline but Combat Jack informed me that if The Source were to run that cover it might also be their last issue since advertisers would get the fux outta Dodge. Still and all the cover is pretty powerful, especially considering that Elba’s role in the film was just that of a cosmic doorman.
What Is It? Mar-Vel…

Marvel Studios set us up with the Thor movie. I’m not mad at them either but I just want to acknowledge that I see what they are up to. In the next few summers Marvel is going to make it impossible for DC Comics to breathe on the silver screen. Even Batman will have a tough way to move to surpass the characters and storylines that Marvel is releasing.
The Marvel Studios takeover started with Iron Man. The glimpses into the Marvel Universe during that movie were too subtle to describe but the true fanboys overstood what was coming down the pike. Captain America and the Avengers were sealed in cement. The Thor movie was simply an Avengers setup. The real Avengers movie starts in July with Captain America.
