Trailer for the Black Panther Animated Series

Newsorama has posted the trailer for the Black Panther animated series that’s coming to BET. It looks promising. I kinda like the animation style. But I still have my doubts about BET’s animation division getting this right.

Im disappointed in the animation. Let be real it flash animation. BET screwed it up just like people predicted.

Geez, would it be so hard to get some Japanese animators? This looks like a “moving comic book” instead of an animated film. Way to go BET…

T'Challa deserves better than what this promises to be. The first modern black superhero gets his own show on a black network .. .Oh wait a second . . .BET isn't a network. It's the commodity that Bob Johnson sold so that he could, surprise surprise, be another black man obsessed with basketball. It's also the place where they replaced the BET Nightly News with “Cousin Jeff,” which was disgracedful and subsequently canceled as well. So what we are left with is 24hrs of booty shakin, bling bling, College Hill and Hell Date. That is when they are not airing poorly produced award shows. Are we really surprised that this collection of sycophants can't get The Black Panther right? It would have been more suprising if they HAD done a credible job. Shame on Marvel for trying to score political points by turning a beloved and historic character over to these morons.

I would say if anyone was to blame it would be Reginald Hudlin. He knows the character and he's been the big wig at BET long enough where he should be able to give the character better treatment than what you think he's been given.

This is suppose to be a Black comic, not Manga. So, getting some Japanese animators would not be that cool. They are still working on it, aren't they, so give 'em a break! My only concern is that it seems pretty graphic-bloody and all, but most Marvel comics are pretty violent anyway.

The style doesn't bother me. But I understand what you mean about the graphic-bloody nature. Of course, at some point someone is going to use the words barbaric, africans, and black panther in the same sentence.

its pretty disappointing they just took the actual comic and put a lil animation to it…
