On Netflix: The Black Panther Animated Series

You gotta love Netflix!! To my surprise and excitement viewers can now watch all of Reginald Hudlin's animated series/episodes of Black Panther.


Inspired by the acclaimed graphic novel from respected filmmaker/producer Reginald Hudlin and legendary comic book artist John Romita Jr, BLACK PANTHER: WHO IS THE BLACK PANTHER? introduces viewers to the Black Panther, the warrior king of Wakanda, a technologically advanced nation in the heart of Africa. As outside forces conspire to plunder this proud nation, the Black Panther will face his greatest threats as he meets Klaw, the man who murdered his father.


Although each episode is only 10-11 minutes in length The graphics are actually quite amazing. I must say these animated episodes contain a whole lot but at the same time entertain. film this is actually quite good. With voices from Alfre Woodard, Djimon Houson, Jill Scott, Kerry Washington, Stan Lee and others you are definitely in for a treat. Each episode gives the viewer an opportunity to take a journey with Black Panther as he discovers the truth about his father's murder as well as protecting the Wakanda people.  All six episodes were aired on Australia's ABC3.

Marvel Animation and BET Networks teamed up to create this larger-than-life animated mini-series, which has several appearances from classic Marvel characters like Captain America and the Juggernaut. One might call this series a pint-sized politically charged thriller. For quite some time, comic book fans have been passionately waiting for a series adaptation of the first black superhero Black Panther!!

Here is a brief synopsis of the six episodes that premiered...

Make sure to check this out on Netflix, maybe this might prompt the television and movie world to produce and or create a longer series or possible movie. Who knows? Too bad there were only six episodes, there was definitely a lot of potential with this series.
