I don’t know how many of you remember M.A.N.T.I.S. on FOX. He was the first black superhero to have his own TV show. The pilot movie was dope af for the time. But, when they brought it back for a series they ruined it by white washing it.

It was good Carl Lumbly is getting some love as the first black superhero. TFATWS kind of seemed like a book end to what happened with that character (M.A.N.T.I.S.).

Ahh, M.A.N.T.I.S.

That's history right there. I loved the role Falcon and The Winter Soldier gave him! Respect right there.

That's because they never said a Blade movie was coming in this phase. Just that Blade was now part of the MCU and a movie with Maheshala Ali assuming the role was forthcoming.

Thanks. I thought they were just releasing upcoming Marvel flicks, shows and info though in that preview.

I remember me and my brothers being really excited to watch M.A.N.T.I.S. How could young black nerds of the 90s not get jazzed to see a black superhero on TV. Unfortunately, it became a glaring example of the studio's lack of confidence in black-led productions. The drop-off in quality of the show was steep as a cliff.

Just by looking at the slate of movies on their current list, phase 4 seems to be a setup for the really big projects in phase 5 I'm talking Fantastic 4, Blade, and of course X-Men.
 
The Falcon and The Winter Soldier Was Watched More Than Any Netflix, Prime Video Series in April


There wasn’t any original series Netflix or other leading streaming service launched in April that could match the audience levels on Disney+ for “The Falcon and the Winter Soldier,” even though it debuted back on March 19.

That’s according to connected-TV and TV analytics provider TVision, which provided data exclusively to Variety Intelligence Platform showing that “FAWS” was the most viewed series of April 2021 across measured platforms. Disney announced “FAWS” was Disney+’s biggest-ever series premiere in late March.

“FAWS” was viewed by TVision panel members nearly 40 times as much as the average TV series the analytics firm measured in April. That suggests the new Marvel series last month grabbed a bigger audience than anticipated April-debuting Netflix and Amazon titles including “Dad Stop Embarrassing Me” and “Them,” respectively.
