Continuing the same sentiment as the previous article, I’d like to reiterated the same sentiments I had. I don’t think Black Panther is a bad film, but I simply don’t see it as deserving the overwhelming amount of praise that it has received for many reasons.

I’ve got one more year of my college career in front of me. That’s one more year of classes to finish up my degree, but also one year’s worth of a head start on filling up my portfolio with my own creative works. When I start searching for jobs, I’d like to hit the ground […]
