        It is a waste. Africans have their own real superhero. We don't want to live in a western made fantasy world.

        No, we have great African hero's in African history. Read about The Great Benin Empire or rather visit there.

        Yes, "in History". Today our would be heroes are running to Europe and America where they will be celebrated bcos we have reduced ourselves to celebrating mediocrity

        On the other hand at least our children that are growing up in the west can look up to a BLACK superhero that is a king unlike other black superheros.

        This black 'superhero' was created by white/jewish americans. You can watch the movie if you want but don't take it as a black accomplishment because this is beyond ridiculous

        How is this related to Africa? Show us latest Nigerian films. We want to see witchcraft and yams.
