But yeah, I was like, damn, I wish 127 00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:56,880 Speaker 2: I waited one more day. If I had been tardy 128 00:05:56,960 --> 00:05:58,960 Speaker 2: on responding to emails, I would have looked smarter. But 129 00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:05,680 Speaker 2: it doesn't. But what is it like to write this 130 00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:08,040 Speaker 2: because you know it is coming into a world where 131 00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:11,120 Speaker 2: there's like a history, there's a lot of people who 132 00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:15,159 Speaker 2: contributed to this story from so many walks of life 133 00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:18,240 Speaker 2: over time, and then boom, here you come with like 134 00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:23,040 Speaker 2: the latest entry. 135 00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:28,359 Speaker 3: The writing for the dormalag is was It was really 136 00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:32,680 Speaker 3: a very interesting process because, like you said, it's license. 137 00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:36,720 Speaker 3: So for those of you aspiring writers out there, writing 138 00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:40,039 Speaker 3: for license material means you're playing in somebody else's playground, 139 00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:43,760 Speaker 3: which is a little bit different than writing your own work. 140 00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:46,919 Speaker 3: So there's like there's sort of a fence and you 141 00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:49,640 Speaker 3: never quite know what the fence is until you hit it, 142 00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:54,920 Speaker 3: and like, yeah, you can't do that. So when I 143 00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:57,599 Speaker 3: First of all, I didn't set out to write this book. 144 00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:00,400 Speaker 3: Marvel reached out to me and I did. I tell 145 00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:03,840 Speaker 3: people all the time, don't do this. If somebody reaches 146 00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:05,159 Speaker 3: out to you and actually to write a book, you 147 00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:07,360 Speaker 3: don't go who me? Are you your because that's what 148 00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:11,440 Speaker 3: I did. Don't do that would have been me like, yeah, well, 149 00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:13,280 Speaker 3: and the only reason why. And it wasn't like I 150 00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:14,760 Speaker 3: didn't think I could write a book. It was that 151 00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:18,160 Speaker 3: I'm also, as you know, a journalist, right, So I 152 00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:21,080 Speaker 3: and Rogers, like you said, going through emails too fast, 153 00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:23,880 Speaker 3: and I thought they were asking me to interview somebody 154 00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:28,560 Speaker 3: who was writing a book about the journal No, like, no, no, no, 155 00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:37,080 Speaker 3: that person would be you like, oh whoops. So yeah, 156 00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:42,600 Speaker 3: it was just it was it was a trip. So basically, 157 00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:45,200 Speaker 3: and I and I'm going to get to the answer 158 00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:47,240 Speaker 3: to your question. But there's there's a reason why I'm going. 159 00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:50,080 Speaker 3: There is the reason why I'm going the long way. 160 00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:59,360 Speaker 3: The Marvel uses several different publishers to produce and publish 161 00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:02,520 Speaker 3: their pro work. So Marvel Comics is Marvel Comics here 162 00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:06,880 Speaker 3: in New York City. But if it's ya middle grade 163 00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:10,760 Speaker 3: historical fiction, whatever it is, they're all gonna get farmed 164 00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:15,160 Speaker 3: out to different publishing houses. So the publishing house that 165 00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:19,280 Speaker 3: I worked with did a book called The Wakanda Files, 166 00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:23,440 Speaker 3: and they also did another series, another book called The 167 00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:27,320 Speaker 3: Jedi Manual, so it was all about how to become 168 00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:29,120 Speaker 3: a Jedi and all these things. So it was like 169 00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:33,000 Speaker 3: historical fiction, Like, we really would like something like that 170 00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:37,840 Speaker 3: for the dorm Lage and I'm like, that's amazing, except 171 00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:43,280 Speaker 3: Star Wars has a very long history of written canon 172 00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:49,000 Speaker 3: and several movies and a bunch of stuff, and I 173 00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:53,440 Speaker 3: was like, Okay, I can do that, but there's not 174 00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:56,480 Speaker 3: much history on the Dorma Laga and like that's what 175 00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:59,000 Speaker 3: that's what you canna do. I was like, okay, cool. 176 00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:05,600 Speaker 3: So then it came down to narrowing down. I thought 177 00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:08,319 Speaker 3: I had free writ into like all of Marvel comics 178 00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:12,040 Speaker 3: or whatever, But what happens is oh and by the way, 179 00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:15,520 Speaker 3: the book is just based on the comics, it's not 180 00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:19,440 Speaker 3: the MCU and that confused, and I felt bad about that, 181 00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:22,120 Speaker 3: but I understood why. And I felt bad because a 182 00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:25,199 Speaker 3: lot of black folks got into black those comics for 183 00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:27,960 Speaker 3: the first movie. But there's a reason why Marvel does that, 184 00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:32,199 Speaker 3: and that's because the MCU is First of all, all 185 00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:35,240 Speaker 3: of Marvel is very siloed, but the MCU is in 186 00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:38,520 Speaker 3: a completely different They don't communicate with the comics in 187 00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:44,320 Speaker 3: so they were like, you can't the way they just 188 00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:48,160 Speaker 3: are able to blanket with all of their writers, just 189 00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:51,480 Speaker 3: give them a blanket. Rule is your book is based 190 00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:57,040 Speaker 3: on the comics. Lucky for me, the first Black Panther movie, 191 00:09:57,679 --> 00:10:02,680 Speaker 3: Ryan Coogler burrowed a lot from Tanahase Coach and Christopher 192 00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:07,400 Speaker 3: Priest and some even from Jonathan Hickman and things like that, 193 00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:11,920 Speaker 3: so I was it wasn't too far and even World 194 00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:16,920 Speaker 3: of Wakanda Rob Sang gay Etce so I didn't have 195 00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:19,200 Speaker 3: too far to strade. But it was very interesting having 196 00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:27,840 Speaker 3: conversations about it because I had to sit and go 197 00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:31,400 Speaker 3: through the majority of the Black Panther history and then 198 00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:36,000 Speaker 3: piece together like these threads of what the Dora were 199 00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:39,480 Speaker 3: doing in the existing canon. Because a lot of people 200 00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:42,800 Speaker 3: have written Black Panther, not many people have written about 201 00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:47,600 Speaker 3: the dormal logic. So I wanted my for comic book readers. 202 00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:50,240 Speaker 3: I wanted my book to just sit in the middle 203 00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:54,880 Speaker 3: of the comics, so you'll read stuff in here and go, oh, wait, 204 00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:57,240 Speaker 3: I remember when that happened to the comics, So this 205 00:10:57,320 --> 00:10:58,920 Speaker 3: is what was going on in the background, like that 206 00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:02,679 Speaker 3: kind of thing. And then people who haven't read the comics, 207 00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:05,520 Speaker 3: that only know the movie or might not know that 208 00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:08,760 Speaker 3: much at all about the world. I wanted them to 209 00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:11,880 Speaker 3: be able to read stuff in here too, And that 210 00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:16,440 Speaker 3: is why I pushed, I really pushed hard to be 211 00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:19,880 Speaker 3: allowed to use a lot of the Fantastic Four, Cannon, 212 00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:23,839 Speaker 3: Doom Wars, things like that, because there's a lot of 213 00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:30,480 Speaker 3: things that happened outside of the Black Panther comics that 214 00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:32,600 Speaker 3: are you know, labeled Black Panther. Because even if you 215 00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:35,560 Speaker 3: remember Black Panther was introduced in Fantastic four and then 216 00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:38,040 Speaker 3: Jonathan ck Fan has a whole f four run where 217 00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:40,240 Speaker 3: Fantastic four is in Wakanda. I'm like, we can't just 218 00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:44,560 Speaker 3: ignore this. And I think it was Jonathan Mayberry that 219 00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:49,079 Speaker 3: did when Black When Black Panther had lost his powers, 220 00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:52,360 Speaker 3: Surrey was queen and he became King of the Dead, 221 00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:55,000 Speaker 3: and he gave him like the Avatar Last Airbender powers 222 00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:56,920 Speaker 3: where he could like talk to all of the past 223 00:11:57,320 --> 00:12:01,040 Speaker 3: Black Panthers. So ill I asked them for three things. 224 00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:04,480 Speaker 3: I'm like, if you give me nothing else. Let me 225 00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:08,000 Speaker 3: use Tana Haskoch's run, that run where he could talk 226 00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:13,440 Speaker 3: to all the previous Kings and doom Wars, because that's 227 00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:17,120 Speaker 3: where the Midnight Angels came from. And they were like, 228 00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:19,880 Speaker 3: and they pushed back a little bit on Midnight on 229 00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:22,040 Speaker 3: Dumores because I think I think a lot of people 230 00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:24,559 Speaker 3: think of that as standalone Cannon. I said, but then 231 00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:26,960 Speaker 3: I don't have them, and I can't refer to the 232 00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:28,960 Speaker 3: beginning of the Midnight Angels. Mid Night Angels didn't come 233 00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:30,079 Speaker 3: from our Saint Gaye's. 234 00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:31,880 Speaker 1: Run, right, Yeah. 235 00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:34,520 Speaker 3: And it's really funny too, because in that meeting they 236 00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:37,360 Speaker 3: were like, oh, oh, so she's a fan fan. Right. 237 00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:42,320 Speaker 2: It was like, maybe we got into d We thought 238 00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:44,480 Speaker 2: he was just gonna write, well, we told you to, right, 239 00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:46,040 Speaker 2: we didn't know you was gonna do research. 240 00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:52,800 Speaker 3: And I was actually read these things exactly, I had them. 241 00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:56,000 Speaker 3: And it was really funny because so once we established 242 00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:59,640 Speaker 3: all of that, then I was able to get into 243 00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:02,280 Speaker 3: the book. But honestly, I didn't have that much time 244 00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:04,640 Speaker 3: to write the book, which is terrifying, so I sort 245 00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:10,800 Speaker 3: of shut everything down. I didn't mean like that, wait, 246 00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:12,640 Speaker 3: can you see it? Can you hear me, I still 247 00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:12,960 Speaker 3: hear you. 248 00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:16,520 Speaker 4: Just get you You're back now, you just make yourself. 249 00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:20,760 Speaker 3: Hates my camera, hates crowdcast. I said shut everything down. 250 00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:25,360 Speaker 3: I didn't mean literally damn it. So I had to 251 00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:29,160 Speaker 3: take a step back for everything that I was doing 252 00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:32,560 Speaker 3: so that I could And that's where I really started 253 00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:34,160 Speaker 3: working with a lot of assistants and stuff to make 254 00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:35,880 Speaker 3: it look like I was still online a lot because 255 00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:39,040 Speaker 3: I I had about fifteen weeks to write this book. 256 00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:42,280 Speaker 1: Wow, it's a very people. 257 00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:44,920 Speaker 3: Should get a year. I never do this. Do not 258 00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:48,640 Speaker 3: do more time because I almost end it up in 259 00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:49,480 Speaker 3: the hospital. 260 00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:51,480 Speaker 1: Door and look and she didn't like half ass it 261 00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:52,040 Speaker 1: the writing. 262 00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:54,360 Speaker 2: Y'all can see it's still in like ten point far 263 00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:57,199 Speaker 2: like I would have if they would have said fifteen weeks, 264 00:13:57,200 --> 00:13:58,840 Speaker 2: they would have been like, well, okay, it's gonna be 265 00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:02,680 Speaker 2: twenty twenty four, had. 266 00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:09,040 Speaker 3: More pictures, right. But what I did was I one 267 00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:11,520 Speaker 3: of Marvel also told me, we want to make sure 268 00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:16,320 Speaker 3: there's something in there about the past black Panthers. And 269 00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:18,760 Speaker 3: I was like, all sixteen, and they were like, oh, 270 00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:21,480 Speaker 3: you are a real one, yes, all sixteen.

And that was work 288 00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:19,360 Speaker 3: because somebody might have mentioned somebody in Fantastic four, somebody 289 00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:21,440 Speaker 3: else might have mentioned somebody in Black Panther, somebody might 290 00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:25,360 Speaker 3: have mentioned something in Avengers, right, and so like I 291 00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:27,760 Speaker 3: had to sort of do this.

It played one time and 321 00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:09,479 Speaker 1: because you can't do unofficial. 322 00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:13,080 Speaker 3: Apro and I know some people who do that with 323 00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:15,080 Speaker 3: like T shirts and stuff like look at my black 324 00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:18,959 Speaker 3: version of Naruto and I'm like to hey, coming for you. 325 00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:22,760 Speaker 3: It's cute, but don't sell it, like for instance, like 326 00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:25,879 Speaker 3: if I want to and they're not here yet, I'm upset. 327 00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:29,480 Speaker 3: But there's some bookmarks I've made of some of the 328 00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:32,200 Speaker 3: artwork in the book, and someone was like, oh, they're 329 00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:33,960 Speaker 3: going to do sell.

So I have 335 00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:58,880 Speaker 3: my editor at the publisher who knows a bit about 336 00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:01,920 Speaker 3: the Blackcants universe, but looking at my words for syntax 337 00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:09,880 Speaker 3: and story and things like that. The then she had 338 00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:14,199 Speaker 3: to send stuff to like her team, and then the 339 00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:17,000 Speaker 3: first level of Marvel, and they're just making sure that 340 00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:19,480 Speaker 3: I don't say anything that I'm not supposed to say. 341 00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:22,840 Speaker 3: And then you get into line editing, and then you 342 00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:27,160 Speaker 3: get into there's one dude that well, not one dude, 343 00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:29,960 Speaker 3: but I'm sure there's a dude in every department that 344 00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:32,920 Speaker 3: is basically has to go through the book and make 345 00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:38,360 Speaker 3: sure that not only is what you're saying canonically correct, 346 00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:42,280 Speaker 3: but if you're extending canon, you're not going to crash 347 00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:46,840 Speaker 3: into somebody else's story or book. If you do, then 348 00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:49,560 Speaker 3: your title kind of changed to it, you know, us 349 00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:52,360 Speaker 3: end the lone story or end the loan arc or whatever. 350 00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:56,960 Speaker 3: So that was fun. I think the only thing that 351 00:18:57,040 --> 00:19:00,040 Speaker 3: made me crazy was when I first started. When I 352 00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:06,600 Speaker 3: got the book, axt of Swords was out and Vida 353 00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:12,439 Speaker 3: Ayala had just the issue that just dropped was Storm 354 00:19:12,520 --> 00:19:17,520 Speaker 3: going into Wakanda and a sword. Yes, but Vita made 355 00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:20,320 Speaker 3: that sword that sort of not existed for that comic, 356 00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:22,600 Speaker 3: And I'm going, I have to turn this outline, and 357 00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:24,200 Speaker 3: because you have to do an outline for you the book, 358 00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:26,440 Speaker 3: but I need to turn this outline. The next week 359 00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:28,359 Speaker 3: and I called up Vita. Marvel didn't even know the 360 00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:32,239 Speaker 3: story Marvel. I called up Vita. I was like, I 361 00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:36,399 Speaker 3: need to know what happens with this sword right now 362 00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:39,600 Speaker 3: she's in exile and she can't come back into Wakanda 363 00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:43,720 Speaker 3: and she has no rights anymore. If that changes, like 364 00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:45,239 Speaker 3: I need can did she bring it back? That's all 365 00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:46,919 Speaker 3: I need to know? And can you give me some 366 00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:49,960 Speaker 3: more history and the sword because I'm putting weapons in here. 367 00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:50,720 Speaker 1: And I need to know. 368 00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:55,439 Speaker 3: And you just gave Bashenda a sword that ten thousand 369 00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:59,000 Speaker 3: BC black parts doesn't have. And they were like, oh right, 370 00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:01,239 Speaker 3: all right, well here's what I did. Luck with that. 371 00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:03,320 Speaker 3: I was like, damn it. And then but it's really 372 00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:06,200 Speaker 3: funny because there's so many black people that apparently got 373 00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:11,440 Speaker 3: hired in twenty nineteen, twenty twenty to write books for Wakanda, 374 00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:13,160 Speaker 3: and I didn't know it until they strugged to drop. 375 00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:16,480 Speaker 3: And I'm talking to Evie's a boy who has her book, 376 00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:19,560 Speaker 3: her White Book accorded to the people, and she's like, well, 377 00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:21,560 Speaker 3: I wish i'd seen your book. Well, I was writing mine. 378 00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:25,840 Speaker 3: Evin Narciss just dropped the Wakanda Atlas, which is the 379 00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:29,560 Speaker 3: whole atlas of Wakanda, the top practical stuff and we're 380 00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:30,880 Speaker 3: all the vite And I was like, well, I wish 381 00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:34,119 Speaker 3: I had yours six months ago.

Yeah. 385 00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:42,879 Speaker 1: And then the other thing too. 386 00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:44,960 Speaker 2: I really had to give a lot of credit to 387 00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:52,359 Speaker 2: Coach Run because he would have these like appendexes and 388 00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:54,440 Speaker 2: stuff in the middle of the book, and you was 389 00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:59,200 Speaker 2: just like, Oh, he is fleshing out this history like 390 00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:02,080 Speaker 2: like he like like a person that is like, uh 391 00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:06,760 Speaker 2: topographically like mapping a country. Like he's It's like, here's 392 00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:09,520 Speaker 2: the history of this, this is why this land makes this, 393 00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:11,240 Speaker 2: this is why when they fought these people. 394 00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:13,240 Speaker 1: It was so like detailed. 395 00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:16,080 Speaker 3: And I lived in that. I lived in that for 396 00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:18,800 Speaker 3: six months. And when I tell you, there's people that 397 00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:21,760 Speaker 3: like to criticize his Run, and I tell him, I 398 00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:24,480 Speaker 3: don't care what you think about his story. Ye, what 399 00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:29,160 Speaker 3: that man did for the cannon and the world building 400 00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:34,240 Speaker 3: of surpasses any other author. What they let him do. 401 00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:37,840 Speaker 3: What's in those back pages, what's in those liner notes, 402 00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:41,000 Speaker 3: what's in those appendices. That is a lot of the 403 00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:43,159 Speaker 3: meat and potatoes that I was able to use. And 404 00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:44,959 Speaker 3: you don't know how many times this is what I'm 405 00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:47,520 Speaker 3: gonna tell you in terms of licensed material. They would 406 00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:48,840 Speaker 3: come to me and they were like, oh, we don't 407 00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:50,160 Speaker 3: think you can say that, and I'd be like, oh 408 00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:53,479 Speaker 3: I didn't. Time's Coasted. Oh I didn't. Johnathan Hickman did. 409 00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:55,879 Speaker 3: And it was really really funny because the things that 410 00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:58,560 Speaker 3: I thought that they wouldn't let me say, they were, oh, yeah, 411 00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:01,520 Speaker 3: that's fine, But I didn't even do that. I didn't 412 00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:05,320 Speaker 3: say that. 413 00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:07,400 Speaker 1: That was like the thing that blew me away out. 414 00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:09,520 Speaker 2: Like I wasn't even ready for Coach Ryan because I 415 00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:11,439 Speaker 2: just I was excited, of course, you know. 416 00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:14,440 Speaker 4: I was like, oh, coach, but he's a writer writer. 417 00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:15,760 Speaker 1: I was like, he made it, you know. 418 00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:18,480 Speaker 2: And I'm reading the book and I'm like and you know, 419 00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:20,399 Speaker 2: you're reading through the dialogue like that's all cool and 420 00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:22,760 Speaker 2: stuff too, like I love the story or whatever. But 421 00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:24,880 Speaker 2: it would be like when you get to the end 422 00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:26,800 Speaker 2: and there's like four more pages and it's just like 423 00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:30,719 Speaker 2: a map and then a history of another country and 424 00:22:30,800 --> 00:22:35,720 Speaker 2: then like the history of like the avatars of different Like. 425 00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:38,159 Speaker 1: You're like what who what? 426 00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:37,960 Speaker 3: What? 427 00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:40,800 Speaker 1: Like now I'm reading prose in. 428 00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:45,160 Speaker 3: A comic exactly, and then went especially when Surrey went 429 00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:48,880 Speaker 3: to Jaalia and was walking the place with the ancest yes, 430 00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:52,080 Speaker 3: all those little fables. I'm like, y'all don't understand what 431 00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:55,800 Speaker 3: he did here. Y'all have no idea, y'all understand the 432 00:22:55,920 --> 00:22:59,720 Speaker 3: levels to this. And so his people, I think, years 433 00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:02,280 Speaker 3: from now are going to come back and go just 434 00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:06,440 Speaker 3: like people now look back at the eighties X men, yes, 435 00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:08,719 Speaker 3: with the fines who's come and look at all the 436 00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:13,080 Speaker 3: They're going to do that years from now. Because but yeah, 437 00:23:13,119 --> 00:23:15,399 Speaker 3: so that that was what it was like. It was like, 438 00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:18,159 Speaker 3: really the first part of this book really for me, 439 00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:20,159 Speaker 3: was a thesis, right. It was like I have to 440 00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:23,840 Speaker 3: do a thesis on Kamanda to set the background. And 441 00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:27,280 Speaker 3: if you look in the beginning there, I mean in 442 00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:29,880 Speaker 3: the contents, this is the book is broken up into 443 00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:34,240 Speaker 3: five tenants, so tradition, honor, strength, courage, compassion, and then 444 00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:36,919 Speaker 3: I talk about like the initiation trials. So what the 445 00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:38,840 Speaker 3: book actually is and I'm actually a little bit sad 446 00:23:38,840 --> 00:23:41,440 Speaker 3: about this. There is a page that got left out 447 00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:43,720 Speaker 3: just because I wrote too much stuff, but there was 448 00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:45,720 Speaker 3: a page that I had to be sacrificed that I'm 449 00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:47,720 Speaker 3: hoping will be able to be in a deluxe edition. 450 00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:49,800 Speaker 3: I don't know if I'm getting a delects edition. Y'all 451 00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:52,119 Speaker 3: keep buying the book. I can get into lax edition. Okay, 452 00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:57,720 Speaker 3: it is a koy A basically explaining at the end 453 00:23:57,720 --> 00:24:01,480 Speaker 3: of the remember at the end of the integral saga, 454 00:24:01,800 --> 00:24:05,679 Speaker 3: basically call it when he's he knows who he is, 455 00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:08,800 Speaker 3: he's back. We have that. Everybody's back in Wakanda with 456 00:24:09,119 --> 00:24:12,080 Speaker 3: the all versions of Kilmonger are gone. 457 00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:13,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, and. 458 00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:18,720 Speaker 3: It's but there's been so much lost. So I basically 459 00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:21,879 Speaker 3: had a moment where Akoye was like, we have to 460 00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:23,879 Speaker 3: start the school again. Like in the middle of that. 461 00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:25,800 Speaker 3: I remember World of Waknda took place in the middle 462 00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:27,920 Speaker 3: of a lot of what it's not skilch is right, 463 00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:31,560 Speaker 3: and they lost ahead of their school. The Dormaliza lost 464 00:24:31,560 --> 00:24:33,280 Speaker 3: ahead of their school. So and that was something that 465 00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:36,040 Speaker 3: Rocks and Gay wrote. So what I what I this 466 00:24:36,119 --> 00:24:40,280 Speaker 3: book takes place? Like right after that, Akoya is like, 467 00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:43,399 Speaker 3: we don't just have we don't now, we don't just 468 00:24:43,440 --> 00:24:46,240 Speaker 3: have people who could possibly initiate, but we got Wakanda Prime, 469 00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:49,879 Speaker 3: we got wakand in space. We got people that identify 470 00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:52,000 Speaker 3: as female, like there are people that are not human 471 00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:55,600 Speaker 3: that are now Gandan. It's like, we need to start 472 00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:58,520 Speaker 3: the school again. And what the book is is a 473 00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:03,240 Speaker 3: found tone. So every Dora, as she goes through the school, 474 00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:07,720 Speaker 3: everyone gets a journal and everybody can make notes in 475 00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:10,000 Speaker 3: their journal and things like that, and then when they graduate, 476 00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:13,400 Speaker 3: they hand that journal back to someone who's just becoming 477 00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:17,000 Speaker 3: a door. So that is what this is. It is 478 00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:20,080 Speaker 3: a fact. It's a journal that was found one of 479 00:25:20,119 --> 00:25:22,120 Speaker 3: the last journals. I was found by somebody who has 480 00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:29,400 Speaker 3: uh was I think I said that she died during 481 00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:33,159 Speaker 3: the nay More floods. But again, this is this is 482 00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:34,800 Speaker 3: my backstory. You're not going to see this in the book. 483 00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:37,000 Speaker 3: This is the basic got missing had to come out. 484 00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:40,280 Speaker 3: But the point is she's using this one and she said, okay, 485 00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:42,920 Speaker 3: so now we have new Dora, We've got all kinds 486 00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:46,440 Speaker 3: of different people that we need to I want to 487 00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:48,000 Speaker 3: start the school again, but I want to make sure 488 00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:53,960 Speaker 3: that we're podifying as much as possible. So it's a journal. 489 00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:57,680 Speaker 3: And so what you'll see is there's every chapter has 490 00:25:57,720 --> 00:26:00,000 Speaker 3: a series of entries and they're all written by different 491 00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:02,720 Speaker 3: and then other people will write stuff in the margins, 492 00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:05,520 Speaker 3: so it's not always a Dora our Robbie's in there, 493 00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:11,160 Speaker 3: Becueening Shuri's in there as Aja Donna. You know, there's 494 00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:14,199 Speaker 3: all these different people contributed to the book, which was 495 00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:19,640 Speaker 3: helpful for me because the publisher was really nervous about 496 00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:22,760 Speaker 3: where I was going to place it because they didn't 497 00:26:22,760 --> 00:26:24,720 Speaker 3: want to run into trouble with on the comic book. 498 00:26:24,760 --> 00:26:27,400 Speaker 3: And like I didn't know any of the new Black 499 00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:28,840 Speaker 3: Panther that was coming out this year. I didn't know 500 00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:30,639 Speaker 3: about any of that, like all that was in the works, 501 00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:33,159 Speaker 3: but we don't have time to go research all that. 502 00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:34,600 Speaker 3: You just got to, like say, Uel and do what 503 00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:38,919 Speaker 3: you do. And I said, if we make this entries 504 00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:43,400 Speaker 3: from different people and different time periods, then I can 505 00:26:43,480 --> 00:26:49,399 Speaker 3: include a chapter from the headmistress of the school that 506 00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:54,040 Speaker 3: passed away. I can include past comments about Nikia even 507 00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:57,280 Speaker 3: though she's dead, and every animation in the comics. I 508 00:26:57,320 --> 00:27:02,399 Speaker 3: can include things of Shury before she was walked the 509 00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:06,720 Speaker 3: planes with Jania and became practically a goddess. And you know, 510 00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:10,160 Speaker 3: I can include things all over the place. Queen Mamonda. 511 00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:13,199 Speaker 3: Everybody has something to say in this book. So I 512 00:27:13,240 --> 00:27:15,040 Speaker 3: was very excited about that. And then the other thing 513 00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:19,920 Speaker 3: was once I got the license the cannon part down, 514 00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:22,240 Speaker 3: then I just sort of went to town and I was like, 515 00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:24,120 Speaker 3: I'm just gonna go for it, and I'm gonna let 516 00:27:24,160 --> 00:27:25,720 Speaker 3: them tell me like, Okay, you can't do. 517 00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:30,200 Speaker 2: That, right, yeah, I feel like And then well two things. One, 518 00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:32,680 Speaker 2: I forgot to do my basic job up front, which 519 00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:35,680 Speaker 2: is because I forget, I'm a nerd. I read all 520 00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:38,040 Speaker 2: this shit, but some of y'all probably don't. So something 521 00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:41,000 Speaker 2: like I just realized as we were getting in the wheels, like, 522 00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:43,920 Speaker 2: oh yeah, so the Door of Milla Jay. 523 00:27:44,119 --> 00:27:46,080 Speaker 1: Is the Adorned Ones. 524 00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:49,880 Speaker 2: I believe it's a translation, but it's essentially like the 525 00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:57,199 Speaker 2: Military Defense seek like almost like secret service division of 526 00:27:57,240 --> 00:28:02,720 Speaker 2: the of Wakanda's all women. It's a army of just 527 00:28:02,760 --> 00:28:05,600 Speaker 2: badass warriors. You've seen them in all these like different 528 00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:09,399 Speaker 2: iterations in the movies. Roxanne Gay wrote a run in 529 00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:12,639 Speaker 2: the comics that was specifically about like the Door millerit 530 00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:17,439 Speaker 2: and and like, uh, their thing, they're like the group 531 00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:21,200 Speaker 2: as a as a whole. Also, can you tell people 532 00:28:21,240 --> 00:28:24,600 Speaker 2: about the Midnight Angels and specifically what they are? Because 533 00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:27,560 Speaker 2: like I'm realizing as we're going through that, I'm just like, yeah, 534 00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:30,879 Speaker 2: oh girl, and then remember and now I'm like my 535 00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:34,480 Speaker 2: mom probably listening to my mama, probably listened like who. 536 00:28:36,280 --> 00:28:40,520 Speaker 3: So the Dormal were They were originally creating the comics 537 00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:44,800 Speaker 3: by Christopher Priest, and yes they were the first time 538 00:28:44,840 --> 00:28:48,240 Speaker 3: you saw them, they were only two or three of them, 539 00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:51,680 Speaker 3: and it was really a Kua and Nica, but they 540 00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:58,480 Speaker 3: I'm sorry, Nikia. And so they were basically the bodyguards 541 00:28:58,520 --> 00:29:01,040 Speaker 3: of the king when he came to this country. So 542 00:29:01,080 --> 00:29:02,840 Speaker 3: you only start two at first in the comics, and 543 00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:04,960 Speaker 3: then you started to see more and more as many 544 00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:08,440 Speaker 3: as more comics were created, and then Rock Sane Gage 545 00:29:08,520 --> 00:29:12,080 Speaker 3: Run was actually about the dorm lage and the school 546 00:29:12,240 --> 00:29:17,080 Speaker 3: and what was going on during paralleling the town of 547 00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:19,360 Speaker 3: hose To Coach Run of all of the wars and 548 00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:22,080 Speaker 3: things that were happening with nay More and Doom and 549 00:29:22,080 --> 00:29:27,400 Speaker 3: everybody else. So they are, yes, they as a whole. 550 00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:30,280 Speaker 3: They are a military unit. They are not the military. 551 00:29:30,320 --> 00:29:32,760 Speaker 3: Were kind of has it's own military. They also have 552 00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:39,040 Speaker 3: an all male military, the Hottoos Sase. At the time 553 00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:42,680 Speaker 3: period that this book was written, these had sort of 554 00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:45,320 Speaker 3: been infiltrated, so they were not trusted. So it's really 555 00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:49,560 Speaker 3: not any hattoothsse in my book because I didn't feel 556 00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:52,960 Speaker 3: like explained the difference between the two as we kept through. 557 00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:59,200 Speaker 3: So and it's about the Dormalaga, so the but the 558 00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:04,680 Speaker 3: the there's a I would say a subsidiary, a smaller 559 00:30:04,720 --> 00:30:09,520 Speaker 3: group within the Dorma lage called the Midnight Angels, and 560 00:30:09,560 --> 00:30:13,240 Speaker 3: when they were introduced in Doomores they were introduced they're 561 00:30:13,240 --> 00:30:18,040 Speaker 3: basically the Wetworks Division. They the cleanup prow like you 562 00:30:18,480 --> 00:30:21,959 Speaker 3: want them dead dead, you call them Midnight Angels, and 563 00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:24,840 Speaker 3: they get the gear, they get to tack, the higher 564 00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:29,440 Speaker 3: tactical gear. They get all the stealth stuff first and 565 00:30:29,480 --> 00:30:33,640 Speaker 3: then some of it will you know, trickle throughout the 566 00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:36,080 Speaker 3: rest of the dormalalage. But that was also what was 567 00:30:36,120 --> 00:30:39,440 Speaker 3: important to me in the book because I think people 568 00:30:39,480 --> 00:30:42,560 Speaker 3: think there's like four or five of them, right, and 569 00:30:42,600 --> 00:30:45,120 Speaker 3: the four or five that you see I classify as 570 00:30:45,200 --> 00:30:47,239 Speaker 3: the Royal Division because they are the ones that are 571 00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:50,480 Speaker 3: closest to the game. But everybody who wants to become 572 00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:53,280 Speaker 3: a Dora does not become a Dora. Everybody who tries 573 00:30:53,320 --> 00:30:56,320 Speaker 3: to train doesn't always make it. Doesn't always graduate to 574 00:30:56,360 --> 00:31:01,080 Speaker 3: become a Dora, but the ones that do. Who's flying 575 00:31:01,120 --> 00:31:06,360 Speaker 3: the plane, who's maintaining the plane, who's maintaining the weapon. 576 00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:08,800 Speaker 3: You're not gonna have some random person maintaining the plane. 577 00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:11,560 Speaker 3: That's for a secret group. So so now you have 578 00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:13,560 Speaker 3: a whole you have an aeronauts division, you know what 579 00:31:13,560 --> 00:31:15,360 Speaker 3: I mean. So I started coming up with the different 580 00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:19,280 Speaker 3: visions that would do different things because if you remember, 581 00:31:19,440 --> 00:31:21,960 Speaker 3: and again I'm going back to do more do Moores 582 00:31:23,680 --> 00:31:28,280 Speaker 3: when they were fighting Doom in that book that T'Challa 583 00:31:28,680 --> 00:31:33,080 Speaker 3: initiated over like five hundred Dora. So I was like, okay, 584 00:31:33,120 --> 00:31:40,080 Speaker 3: so how that happened? Where they come from? The So 585 00:31:40,640 --> 00:31:44,040 Speaker 3: the the concept of the dormaalage has always been that 586 00:31:44,160 --> 00:31:46,560 Speaker 3: these badass ball black women that are there to you know, 587 00:31:46,960 --> 00:31:52,720 Speaker 3: fight T'Challa. They were called the adored Ones. This is 588 00:31:52,760 --> 00:31:55,200 Speaker 3: something that Christopher Priest came up with, and it's really 589 00:31:55,240 --> 00:31:57,240 Speaker 3: funny because it's something that I ran into. You also 590 00:31:57,280 --> 00:32:01,280 Speaker 3: with Marvel, they were like, we just want to make 591 00:32:01,280 --> 00:32:04,560 Speaker 3: sure that there's no child brides. I'm like, I don't understand. 592 00:32:04,240 --> 00:32:05,480 Speaker 1: Where that question came from. 593 00:32:07,080 --> 00:32:10,520 Speaker 3: Who said there was a child bride? They were like, well, 594 00:32:10,760 --> 00:32:14,000 Speaker 3: in Christopher Priest's run, I was like, okay, so let's 595 00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:18,920 Speaker 3: won that back. If y'all remember Christopher Priests run, he 596 00:32:19,400 --> 00:32:23,680 Speaker 3: has Ever considered his the definitive black Panther because before 597 00:32:23,720 --> 00:32:26,040 Speaker 3: that he was really just like the Diversity higher and 598 00:32:26,080 --> 00:32:29,560 Speaker 3: the Avengers. And so when they gave him his own story, 599 00:32:30,840 --> 00:32:35,320 Speaker 3: they said, Christopher Priest didn't think white people would buy 600 00:32:35,480 --> 00:32:38,840 Speaker 3: a combook with a black characters they black lead. So 601 00:32:38,880 --> 00:32:42,480 Speaker 3: he created Everitt Ross, like the bumbling FBI agent sort 602 00:32:42,480 --> 00:32:45,560 Speaker 3: of be the audience to see, I'm in charge of 603 00:32:45,560 --> 00:32:47,560 Speaker 3: making sure the kid gets to what he's gonna do today, 604 00:32:47,560 --> 00:32:50,080 Speaker 3: and he would just say stuff off at the top 605 00:32:50,120 --> 00:32:51,280 Speaker 3: of his head because he didn't know what he was 606 00:32:51,280 --> 00:32:57,520 Speaker 3: looking at. He and we will debate at another time 607 00:32:58,200 --> 00:33:02,000 Speaker 3: what Priests thought would he did this, but Ross was 608 00:33:02,040 --> 00:33:04,960 Speaker 3: sort of lusting after the Dora and he would regularly 609 00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:06,400 Speaker 3: say like, oh my god, I'm gonna go to jail 610 00:33:06,400 --> 00:33:08,760 Speaker 3: because I'm like running, I'm lusting after these high school girls. 611 00:33:09,800 --> 00:33:12,080 Speaker 3: And so that's where they got in there. Everybody got 612 00:33:12,080 --> 00:33:15,480 Speaker 3: in their head that these were teenage brides of the king, 613 00:33:15,560 --> 00:33:19,720 Speaker 3: because the concept was any Dora would be someone he 614 00:33:19,720 --> 00:33:24,160 Speaker 3: could marry. Uh, they never they never ever married that 615 00:33:24,240 --> 00:33:27,000 Speaker 3: they were never you know. And the one time that 616 00:33:28,160 --> 00:33:31,800 Speaker 3: in Preach Run when Black Panther did like make out 617 00:33:31,800 --> 00:33:39,920 Speaker 3: with Nikiya, he was under Mephisto's control. So uh. The 618 00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:45,400 Speaker 3: interesting thing about that is that in the meeting that 619 00:33:45,440 --> 00:33:46,720 Speaker 3: I was having, I can't tell they going to have 620 00:33:46,840 --> 00:33:47,960 Speaker 3: the meeting. I'm just trying to think of what I 621 00:33:47,960 --> 00:33:50,920 Speaker 3: can't say, but I can say this. I remember saying 622 00:33:50,960 --> 00:33:53,560 Speaker 3: to them, this is not a problem, and they were 623 00:33:53,560 --> 00:33:58,200 Speaker 3: like why. I'm like, because T'Challa never said they were teenagers. 624 00:33:59,080 --> 00:34:02,000 Speaker 3: Ross did and they were like, well, that's a problem. 625 00:34:02,040 --> 00:34:03,160 Speaker 3: I said, no, it is. And have you ever been 626 00:34:03,160 --> 00:34:04,440 Speaker 3: a black woman who does no courage? 627 00:34:05,400 --> 00:34:05,760 Speaker 4: Right? 628 00:34:07,160 --> 00:34:07,280 Speaker 3: Right? 629 00:34:07,400 --> 00:34:11,840 Speaker 2: Stay close rights, that's brilliant issue. 630 00:34:12,080 --> 00:34:13,920 Speaker 3: Yeah, how you gonn address it? I'm like, I'll probably 631 00:34:13,920 --> 00:34:15,799 Speaker 3: address it in the margins. I'm really not gonna make 632 00:34:15,800 --> 00:34:17,839 Speaker 3: a big deal out of this. Right because even though 633 00:34:17,840 --> 00:34:20,759 Speaker 3: they're you might be, they might be seventeen or eighteen 634 00:34:20,800 --> 00:34:22,879 Speaker 3: when they come into the school. You have to train 635 00:34:22,960 --> 00:34:27,080 Speaker 3: for seven years to become a door, right, So you're 636 00:34:27,120 --> 00:34:30,600 Speaker 3: not looking at anybody that's under a younger than twenty four. 637 00:34:30,480 --> 00:34:31,440 Speaker 1: Years old, right, right? 638 00:34:31,760 --> 00:34:35,200 Speaker 2: Now that's brilliant because that's definitely one of those things 639 00:34:35,200 --> 00:34:39,919 Speaker 2: where it's like a nerdy detail that people could obsess over. 640 00:34:40,080 --> 00:34:43,520 Speaker 2: And I think you being a nerd, you being in 641 00:34:43,560 --> 00:34:45,080 Speaker 2: that the world of. 642 00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:46,799 Speaker 1: Like the community. 643 00:34:48,040 --> 00:34:51,160 Speaker 2: You it's like you have to prepare almost like illegal dissertation, 644 00:34:51,239 --> 00:34:52,600 Speaker 2: like like here's my life. 645 00:34:52,719 --> 00:34:55,160 Speaker 3: I said, it was like a dissertation. I saw somebody 646 00:34:55,160 --> 00:34:57,840 Speaker 3: in the comments said the women came to Homie Warriors 647 00:34:57,840 --> 00:35:00,960 Speaker 3: the real life inspiration for the Door of laj too. Right, Yes, 648 00:35:01,040 --> 00:35:03,680 Speaker 3: and no, Christopher Priest wasn't thinking anything about the Dahomie 649 00:35:03,719 --> 00:35:07,080 Speaker 3: Warriors when he created them in the comics years ago. 650 00:35:07,440 --> 00:35:10,520 Speaker 3: He really wasn't. The Dahomie Warriors were inspiration for the 651 00:35:10,600 --> 00:35:14,440 Speaker 3: movie Oh okay, to Homie Warriors were inspiration when we 652 00:35:14,480 --> 00:35:17,160 Speaker 3: got to Town of Hotton Coaches Run, you saw more 653 00:35:17,200 --> 00:35:19,360 Speaker 3: of that, But Christopher Priest was not thinking of the 654 00:35:19,840 --> 00:35:23,600 Speaker 3: trust me go look at the dress. Yes they are not. 655 00:35:23,920 --> 00:35:24,759 Speaker 1: I remember so. 656 00:35:26,640 --> 00:35:29,240 Speaker 2: The way that I came to the Black Fanther Cannon 657 00:35:29,280 --> 00:35:33,359 Speaker 2: because like, uh, i uh, it was one of those 658 00:35:33,400 --> 00:35:34,880 Speaker 2: things where it was always off and on when it 659 00:35:34,920 --> 00:35:39,200 Speaker 2: when it was like officially coming out, But I like 660 00:35:39,360 --> 00:35:41,759 Speaker 2: really didn't dedicate, like sitting down and reading until I 661 00:35:41,800 --> 00:35:43,319 Speaker 2: got to Coach, and then I read it and I 662 00:35:43,360 --> 00:35:45,880 Speaker 2: was like, oh my god, now he's because that's the 663 00:35:45,920 --> 00:35:50,120 Speaker 2: other thing. Coach uses everything that was cannon before. Like 664 00:35:50,640 --> 00:35:54,080 Speaker 2: it's like, even though it feels jarring, that is so 665 00:35:54,160 --> 00:35:55,240 Speaker 2: different from these other books. 666 00:35:55,239 --> 00:35:58,200 Speaker 1: It's like everything. It's like he'll bring up some obscure shit. 667 00:35:58,239 --> 00:36:00,560 Speaker 1: You're like, wait that happened, So I. 668 00:36:00,480 --> 00:36:05,239 Speaker 3: Would go, Yeah, ever meet either one of them, I'm 669 00:36:05,239 --> 00:36:06,719 Speaker 3: gonna be like, how. 670 00:36:06,640 --> 00:36:09,359 Speaker 1: Do you How does your brain work?

And I'm 674 00:36:18,080 --> 00:36:19,520 Speaker 3: not saying that it's a bad thing. I'm saying that 675 00:36:19,640 --> 00:36:22,480 Speaker 3: because I believe people who are on the spectrum, I. 676 00:36:22,640 --> 00:36:25,960 Speaker 2: Think use the process than the rest of us. 677 00:36:26,200 --> 00:36:29,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, because how he. 678 00:36:29,040 --> 00:36:34,279 Speaker 3: Has thought out thirty years of a story before even 679 00:36:34,280 --> 00:36:35,240 Speaker 3: occursions when. 680 00:36:35,080 --> 00:36:39,600 Speaker 1: He came, Yes, there was a when he first started 681 00:36:39,600 --> 00:36:42,480 Speaker 1: writing X Men Again. This is complete tangent. I promise 682 00:36:42,520 --> 00:36:43,120 Speaker 1: it won't take one. 683 00:36:43,160 --> 00:36:45,760 Speaker 2: But when he started writing X Men Again, he wrote 684 00:36:45,760 --> 00:36:49,720 Speaker 2: this book from the respective of like Maria McTaggart. 685 00:36:49,880 --> 00:36:51,719 Speaker 3: Yeah, and it was. 686 00:36:52,360 --> 00:36:54,360 Speaker 1: It was so mine. I had to read it like 687 00:36:54,400 --> 00:36:54,920 Speaker 1: three times. 688 00:36:54,960 --> 00:36:58,120 Speaker 2: I was like, wait, what she was doing? So her 689 00:36:58,160 --> 00:37:01,200 Speaker 2: power is this? She had powers like and it and 690 00:37:01,239 --> 00:37:03,000 Speaker 2: it can still fold into. 691 00:37:02,960 --> 00:37:05,479 Speaker 3: Because it was brilliant and that and I was really 692 00:37:05,480 --> 00:37:07,239 Speaker 3: really inspired by stuff like that. I'm glad you said 693 00:37:07,280 --> 00:37:09,880 Speaker 3: that because it's really inspired by stuff like that because 694 00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:12,200 Speaker 3: I even had that a few times with my editors. 695 00:37:12,200 --> 00:37:14,440 Speaker 3: But how and I'm like, show me where they didn't 696 00:37:14,440 --> 00:37:17,520 Speaker 3: do that? Right? Yeah, proved to me that they weren't 697 00:37:17,560 --> 00:37:20,400 Speaker 3: in the room that happened, right, and they were like, 698 00:37:20,480 --> 00:37:23,760 Speaker 3: you know what, we can't. I'm like, it's days so. 699 00:37:23,960 --> 00:37:25,719 Speaker 2: And it's and that's but that's the beauty of it 700 00:37:25,719 --> 00:37:27,919 Speaker 2: because like that was when I was looking at his book. 701 00:37:27,920 --> 00:37:30,160 Speaker 2: It's like the beauty of it is that it's still 702 00:37:30,160 --> 00:37:33,160 Speaker 2: folds into everything that came before it. So like that 703 00:37:33,239 --> 00:37:35,239 Speaker 2: because I think, you know, if you just asked a 704 00:37:35,320 --> 00:37:37,759 Speaker 2: random person like write a book, like we all could 705 00:37:37,760 --> 00:37:40,799 Speaker 2: be like oh yeah, man, and then like flew into 706 00:37:40,800 --> 00:37:43,200 Speaker 2: the sun and then he threw like you know, it's like, 707 00:37:43,400 --> 00:37:45,680 Speaker 2: well that he can't do that. Where where's this coming from? 708 00:37:45,680 --> 00:37:47,040 Speaker 2: It's like, oh, I just thought I could make up 709 00:37:47,080 --> 00:37:49,880 Speaker 2: anything I didn't know I had. So it's like, to me, 710 00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:53,080 Speaker 2: the hard part would be folding it in, but not 711 00:37:53,200 --> 00:37:56,480 Speaker 2: just folding in. You're creating new stuff and then saying 712 00:37:56,920 --> 00:37:59,640 Speaker 2: this can be a thing that happened that we just 713 00:37:59,680 --> 00:38:00,520 Speaker 2: didn't see. 714 00:38:00,800 --> 00:38:03,600 Speaker 3: But it's still yeah, I did that a lot, like 715 00:38:03,960 --> 00:38:08,239 Speaker 3: I think, uh Reginald Hudland's run, which was about to 716 00:38:08,440 --> 00:38:13,200 Speaker 3: Chaka's father, and when the the Avengers came to visit, 717 00:38:13,880 --> 00:38:16,920 Speaker 3: you know, and they were like, there wasn't even the Vengers. 718 00:38:16,920 --> 00:38:20,520 Speaker 3: It was actually just Seve Rogers and and the his 719 00:38:20,560 --> 00:38:23,600 Speaker 3: World War two crew and they showed up and he's like, 720 00:38:23,640 --> 00:38:25,640 Speaker 3: you can't kill people. He's like, you not at home? 721 00:38:25,680 --> 00:38:32,640 Speaker 3: I don't know, right, But remember there were Remember there 722 00:38:32,719 --> 00:38:37,640 Speaker 3: were women. There were Dora with him. Then I made 723 00:38:37,640 --> 00:38:40,919 Speaker 3: one of those Dora, the younger version of the Door 724 00:38:40,960 --> 00:38:46,160 Speaker 3: that started the school. That was That's what I mean 725 00:38:46,160 --> 00:38:50,920 Speaker 3: by like connecting these these threads, like this is the 726 00:38:50,960 --> 00:38:52,520 Speaker 3: thing as a black woman, I'm just used to this, 727 00:38:52,600 --> 00:38:54,800 Speaker 3: Like we're always in a room and nobody sees us, right, 728 00:38:54,920 --> 00:38:59,680 Speaker 3: so but that's actually the door of Malag's power. And 729 00:38:59,800 --> 00:39:01,880 Speaker 3: so somebody in here, somebody in the chat said like 730 00:39:01,920 --> 00:39:04,320 Speaker 3: Oh my god. They're in training for seven years. Yes, 731 00:39:05,040 --> 00:39:09,319 Speaker 3: because when they graduate, because you you they're coming from 732 00:39:09,320 --> 00:39:11,080 Speaker 3: wherever they're coming from, but they haven't been trained.

He don't need a history? 831 00:44:33,120 --> 00:44:33,680 Speaker 1: Is it training? 832 00:44:33,760 --> 00:44:36,000 Speaker 2: I know it's a training manual and a history and 833 00:44:36,360 --> 00:44:40,920 Speaker 2: it's written from the perspective of like iconic characters, you know, 834 00:44:41,120 --> 00:44:44,040 Speaker 2: Coyer and Queen Vermanda and stuff. 835 00:44:44,440 --> 00:44:47,600 Speaker 1: But do you get to talk about like their personal. 836 00:44:47,160 --> 00:44:49,320 Speaker 2: Lives at all or is it just all just because 837 00:44:49,360 --> 00:44:52,279 Speaker 2: I mean, I can understand why that wouldn't come up 838 00:44:52,320 --> 00:44:54,920 Speaker 2: because it's a training manual, or you know, was that 839 00:44:55,040 --> 00:44:56,520 Speaker 2: something you even wanted to explore? 840 00:44:59,480 --> 00:45:01,880 Speaker 3: Yes, And remember I told you people make notes in 841 00:45:01,920 --> 00:45:07,279 Speaker 3: the margins. So sometimes stuff like for instance, like I 842 00:45:07,320 --> 00:45:11,839 Speaker 3: own Anika, they have a little mini argument because they're 843 00:45:12,200 --> 00:45:16,800 Speaker 3: they're there are a couple, but it's really more about 844 00:45:17,600 --> 00:45:20,880 Speaker 3: and and you'll infer that things have happened in someone's 845 00:45:20,920 --> 00:45:24,040 Speaker 3: life from some of the comments that are made, and 846 00:45:24,080 --> 00:45:25,799 Speaker 3: some not even in the margins, just some of the 847 00:45:25,920 --> 00:45:28,319 Speaker 3: some of the entries that are made. Like there's a 848 00:45:28,440 --> 00:45:34,240 Speaker 3: very personal account of from a koy A talking about 849 00:45:34,760 --> 00:45:38,400 Speaker 3: the Dora that died during do More training because it 850 00:45:38,480 --> 00:45:41,480 Speaker 3: was the first time she ever saw Dora die, not 851 00:45:41,719 --> 00:45:45,879 Speaker 3: on the battlefield, but in training, and it just cut 852 00:45:45,920 --> 00:45:47,920 Speaker 3: her to the course. She's like, I never wanted to 853 00:45:47,920 --> 00:45:50,520 Speaker 3: see that, but I knew what we were up against, 854 00:45:52,040 --> 00:45:57,279 Speaker 3: you know. So there is and and the other thing 855 00:45:57,400 --> 00:45:59,959 Speaker 3: was really really and I I think you can, you can, 856 00:46:00,200 --> 00:46:04,320 Speaker 3: I'll relate to this. I just wanted the most important 857 00:46:05,120 --> 00:46:08,640 Speaker 3: chapter to me, a section to me in here, was compassion, 858 00:46:09,680 --> 00:46:12,319 Speaker 3: because I think people just keep saying all their bad 859 00:46:12,400 --> 00:46:15,080 Speaker 3: women who fight people. And yes, I had a ball 860 00:46:15,600 --> 00:46:18,080 Speaker 3: doing the martial arts sections. I did had a ball 861 00:46:18,120 --> 00:46:20,840 Speaker 3: coming up with all the weapons because I'm tired of 862 00:46:20,920 --> 00:46:22,759 Speaker 3: people thinking they just run around with two spears and 863 00:46:22,760 --> 00:46:31,680 Speaker 3: nothing else, mixing bananas. But I wanted what happens when 864 00:46:31,680 --> 00:46:34,239 Speaker 3: the world's over? How do you come down? They don't 865 00:46:34,239 --> 00:46:35,960 Speaker 3: come down and go home to their husband and their kids. 866 00:46:35,960 --> 00:46:39,840 Speaker 3: They come down and they go back to it's almost 867 00:46:39,880 --> 00:46:42,719 Speaker 3: like nuns, like they're living together in a compound, like, 868 00:46:42,840 --> 00:46:43,640 Speaker 3: how do you come down? 869 00:46:43,680 --> 00:46:45,600 Speaker 5: How do you deal with mental health? Do you like 870 00:46:45,640 --> 00:46:47,480 Speaker 5: I'm not telling me funny? 871 00:46:47,560 --> 00:46:50,560 Speaker 4: Yes, how do you deal with PTSD? How do you like? 872 00:46:50,560 --> 00:46:53,600 Speaker 4: Like is a lot behind that? And also. 873 00:46:55,400 --> 00:46:58,440 Speaker 5: I'm glad you did touch on that thing because I 874 00:46:58,480 --> 00:47:00,880 Speaker 5: think sometimes people, just like you said, they look at 875 00:47:00,960 --> 00:47:04,839 Speaker 5: him doing all this stuff, but particularly black women, we 876 00:47:05,040 --> 00:47:10,239 Speaker 5: are not looked upon with compassion sometimes or looked like 877 00:47:10,360 --> 00:47:13,760 Speaker 5: we have compassion, Like sometimes we're not presented in these manners, 878 00:47:14,520 --> 00:47:19,200 Speaker 5: like we're a full fledged person sometimes and it's like 879 00:47:20,120 --> 00:47:23,440 Speaker 5: everything about us is always strong, Okay, cool, cool, cool cool, 880 00:47:24,000 --> 00:47:28,880 Speaker 5: But we are also or we should also be allowed 881 00:47:28,920 --> 00:47:33,359 Speaker 5: to break, be allowed to be depressed, be allowed to 882 00:47:33,480 --> 00:47:37,320 Speaker 5: feel these range of emotions like other human beings. 883 00:47:37,680 --> 00:47:39,759 Speaker 4: I think sometimes these things are stripped away from us. 884 00:47:40,080 --> 00:47:42,920 Speaker 5: And so I'm glad you did do that because that 885 00:47:43,080 --> 00:47:46,520 Speaker 5: is a part sometimes that I think can be overlooked. 886 00:47:48,200 --> 00:47:51,960 Speaker 5: And it would not be surprising if the things that 887 00:47:52,040 --> 00:47:56,560 Speaker 5: you wrote are picked up by somebody else and move 888 00:47:56,600 --> 00:48:00,000 Speaker 5: on something else. I want to say, and I don't 889 00:48:00,000 --> 00:48:02,120 Speaker 5: don't know if you really thought about this, but I 890 00:48:02,280 --> 00:48:07,319 Speaker 5: actually commend you for doing this, because now you are 891 00:48:07,360 --> 00:48:11,080 Speaker 5: going to be the cornerstone for some little black girl 892 00:48:11,320 --> 00:48:14,040 Speaker 5: that's going to read this book one day and they're 893 00:48:14,080 --> 00:48:16,359 Speaker 5: going to be like, you know what, if she can 894 00:48:16,440 --> 00:48:17,640 Speaker 5: do this, I can too. 895 00:48:18,800 --> 00:48:21,719 Speaker 3: And you have I think I have been thank you 896 00:48:21,800 --> 00:48:23,759 Speaker 3: so much. I think of my niece. I think of 897 00:48:23,840 --> 00:48:25,800 Speaker 3: two little girls when I wrote this book. My niece 898 00:48:26,080 --> 00:48:28,080 Speaker 3: who's four, who's going to grow up and tell me off, 899 00:48:29,400 --> 00:48:32,320 Speaker 3: And she's just like a mini me. My brother's so 900 00:48:32,400 --> 00:48:34,120 Speaker 3: mad because even when I'm around her, people think she's 901 00:48:34,160 --> 00:48:37,960 Speaker 3: my kid. She's just strong. You're the only one who 902 00:48:38,000 --> 00:48:39,960 Speaker 3: had a girl. She came out like me, I'm sorry. 903 00:48:42,520 --> 00:48:46,880 Speaker 3: And there was a girl that was I think everybody 904 00:48:46,920 --> 00:48:49,040 Speaker 3: probably seen it by now. You know that Disney World, 905 00:48:49,080 --> 00:48:52,319 Speaker 3: how they have the show, the normalize your show now 906 00:48:52,320 --> 00:48:55,200 Speaker 3: when they come out and there's a was making the 907 00:48:55,280 --> 00:48:57,000 Speaker 3: rounds on social media. It was a little black girl 908 00:48:57,080 --> 00:48:59,480 Speaker 3: that was sitting there and she was watching them. She's 909 00:48:59,560 --> 00:49:02,920 Speaker 3: reciting the Little the Monstrous And by the way, those 910 00:49:02,920 --> 00:49:04,320 Speaker 3: are the same manstras in the book. That's where I 911 00:49:04,360 --> 00:49:06,879 Speaker 3: got it from. Those five tenuts are the same ones 912 00:49:06,920 --> 00:49:08,640 Speaker 3: that they are quoting. And I said, you know what, 913 00:49:09,320 --> 00:49:12,280 Speaker 3: that little girl did it for me? Yes, that little girl, 914 00:49:13,400 --> 00:49:15,880 Speaker 3: and I said, I'm writing the book for her, and 915 00:49:15,880 --> 00:49:19,719 Speaker 3: I'm writing the book for my niece. And even if 916 00:49:19,840 --> 00:49:21,719 Speaker 3: they don't become writers, I want them to at least 917 00:49:21,760 --> 00:49:26,399 Speaker 3: become inspired because there are quotes in here from all 918 00:49:26,440 --> 00:49:29,279 Speaker 3: of the women. Every chapter has a quote. Well, every 919 00:49:29,360 --> 00:49:31,279 Speaker 3: chapter also has amazing art, but sheep of mine at 920 00:49:31,320 --> 00:49:34,480 Speaker 3: the top of it. But there's always a quote in here, 921 00:49:35,719 --> 00:49:40,160 Speaker 3: quotes in each chapter or section header I should say, 922 00:49:40,600 --> 00:49:44,399 Speaker 3: and one of my oh, I thought my camera went 923 00:49:44,440 --> 00:49:47,880 Speaker 3: out again. I was like, damn it, Yeah, that little girl, 924 00:49:48,080 --> 00:49:52,120 Speaker 3: that's her, that little girl, her face. I couldn't. I 925 00:49:52,120 --> 00:49:56,600 Speaker 3: couldn't identify her on the street. But there is at 926 00:49:56,680 --> 00:49:59,520 Speaker 3: that start of the compassion section there is a line 927 00:49:59,520 --> 00:50:02,080 Speaker 3: that says it it's not enough. Queen Ramona said this 928 00:50:02,200 --> 00:50:05,120 Speaker 3: in Dona Hasekoach's run. It's not enough to be the sword. 929 00:50:05,160 --> 00:50:08,520 Speaker 3: You must be the intelligence behind it. So the reason 930 00:50:08,520 --> 00:50:10,319 Speaker 3: why they trained for seven years is they don't just 931 00:50:10,360 --> 00:50:13,960 Speaker 3: go out there and fight, right. So I was thinking 932 00:50:14,000 --> 00:50:18,520 Speaker 3: of little moments like, for instance, in even in a 933 00:50:18,560 --> 00:50:22,200 Speaker 3: Black Panther movie when Akoy was talking to T'challah and 934 00:50:22,320 --> 00:50:24,120 Speaker 3: Ross was there and he was like, does she speak English? 935 00:50:24,160 --> 00:50:27,480 Speaker 3: And She said, if she chooses to how the languages 936 00:50:27,520 --> 00:50:31,000 Speaker 3: does she speak a lot? To be an intelligence officer 937 00:50:31,040 --> 00:50:33,480 Speaker 3: that closer to chall how many does she speak to 938 00:50:33,520 --> 00:50:36,240 Speaker 3: be able to warn him of something? And even Nikiya, 939 00:50:36,320 --> 00:50:38,760 Speaker 3: who they were like in like in Italy or journally 940 00:50:38,880 --> 00:50:42,160 Speaker 3: or something. And remember she was in Korea, she knew Korean. 941 00:50:42,640 --> 00:50:45,080 Speaker 3: I was like, how many do they learn? And then 942 00:50:46,239 --> 00:50:48,200 Speaker 3: I was also inspired by something. I mean it was 943 00:50:48,239 --> 00:50:51,560 Speaker 3: actually almost after the book had been turned in, but 944 00:50:51,640 --> 00:50:53,360 Speaker 3: I was really excited because I was like, oh, I 945 00:50:53,400 --> 00:50:59,080 Speaker 3: did something like this. Remember in Falcon in the winter 946 00:50:59,160 --> 00:51:03,080 Speaker 3: Soldier shows up and you're seeing the flashbacks to her 947 00:51:03,200 --> 00:51:08,880 Speaker 3: and White wolf a ka, yeah, and he's fighting his 948 00:51:09,000 --> 00:51:12,279 Speaker 3: programming and she was like, no, you have this, you 949 00:51:12,360 --> 00:51:16,000 Speaker 3: got this, and she's she's talking him through it. And 950 00:51:16,040 --> 00:51:20,080 Speaker 3: I was trying to figure out how she learned to 951 00:51:20,160 --> 00:51:22,160 Speaker 3: do program somebody? How did she learn that? 952 00:51:22,719 --> 00:51:23,040 Speaker 1: Right? 953 00:51:24,360 --> 00:51:27,040 Speaker 3: How did you so that?

If anything, you should prove something to us, 1021 00:54:44,040 --> 00:54:46,680 Speaker 2: and we're not taking we're not taking the time to 1022 00:54:46,680 --> 00:54:49,120 Speaker 2: explain it because we don't feel that it's even worth 1023 00:54:49,520 --> 00:54:50,399 Speaker 2: explaining to you. 1024 00:54:50,640 --> 00:54:51,279 Speaker 1: We know our. 1025 00:54:51,200 --> 00:54:54,640 Speaker 3: Works, and honestly, that is an that is a discussion. 1026 00:54:54,640 --> 00:54:57,640 Speaker 3: I had a lot about the book, so like, we 1027 00:54:57,680 --> 00:54:59,720 Speaker 3: think this should be explained, And I was like why, 1028 00:55:00,480 --> 00:55:02,640 Speaker 3: because if I grew up in an African country and 1029 00:55:02,719 --> 00:55:07,279 Speaker 3: I did not ever have to explain myself. Why would 1030 00:55:07,320 --> 00:55:11,520 Speaker 3: I explain this? Like even something else that didn't go 1031 00:55:11,600 --> 00:55:14,160 Speaker 3: through was like ten thousand BC black Panther, like when 1032 00:55:14,160 --> 00:55:17,719 Speaker 3: they did the prehistoric Avengers or whatever, and I'm like, yeah, 1033 00:55:17,800 --> 00:55:19,359 Speaker 3: just mess me up with that, because if he saw 1034 00:55:19,360 --> 00:55:22,319 Speaker 3: a vibranium, why wouldn't anybody. They're not going to write 1035 00:55:22,320 --> 00:55:28,279 Speaker 3: another backstory, damn it. So but I didn't call him 1036 00:55:28,280 --> 00:55:30,799 Speaker 3: ten thousand BC black Panther, and they're like why, I said, 1037 00:55:30,840 --> 00:55:34,840 Speaker 3: because they in Wakanda would not have a concept of BC. 1038 00:55:35,960 --> 00:55:40,080 Speaker 3: That is a European concept if you're looking at as 1039 00:55:40,160 --> 00:55:42,680 Speaker 3: far back. So we would have called they would have 1040 00:55:42,760 --> 00:55:44,360 Speaker 3: their own calendar, so they would have called him like 1041 00:55:45,480 --> 00:55:54,200 Speaker 3: twelve thousand, twelve thousand before Bushenkab and they wouldn't let me. 1042 00:55:54,800 --> 00:55:57,200 Speaker 3: They wouldn't let me do that because again that's where 1043 00:55:57,200 --> 00:55:59,719 Speaker 3: I would find the fence. So I usually hit the 1044 00:55:59,760 --> 00:56:03,600 Speaker 3: fan when I was trying to change the name of 1045 00:56:03,680 --> 00:56:07,320 Speaker 3: existing cannon, Like for instance, I was trying to call 1046 00:56:08,880 --> 00:56:11,760 Speaker 3: I can't remember what I was calling him, but something 1047 00:56:11,760 --> 00:56:13,760 Speaker 3: else that I did, I tried to make this also 1048 00:56:13,760 --> 00:56:15,759 Speaker 3: as pan African as possible. So I tried to put 1049 00:56:15,920 --> 00:56:18,120 Speaker 3: and again, I want everybody understand what I'm saying. The 1050 00:56:18,160 --> 00:56:21,600 Speaker 3: book can be read by everybody, right, but there's levels. 1051 00:56:21,640 --> 00:56:23,720 Speaker 3: So if you just know so you've just seen the movies, 1052 00:56:23,760 --> 00:56:25,400 Speaker 3: there's something in there for you.

I got 1064 00:56:56,160 --> 00:56:57,720 Speaker 3: to give my cosplay girls something. 1065 00:56:58,080 --> 00:57:01,920 Speaker 1: Yes, I gotta give my con. 1066 00:57:01,880 --> 00:57:07,720 Speaker 3: Let's go exactly the corner.

The other thing I was 1228 01:05:29,880 --> 01:05:34,720 Speaker 3: able to also put in the book was the entire 1229 01:05:34,840 --> 01:05:37,360 Speaker 3: Selema and I don't know that's a deep, deep cut. 1230 01:05:38,400 --> 01:05:44,360 Speaker 3: They were the original wetworks team men and women that 1231 01:05:44,440 --> 01:05:49,040 Speaker 3: were created by T'Chaka, so actually they might have been 1232 01:05:49,200 --> 01:05:53,960 Speaker 3: created by his father, but I do they are basically 1233 01:05:54,000 --> 01:05:55,960 Speaker 3: sleeper cells. You don't know who they are. If you 1234 01:05:55,960 --> 01:05:58,440 Speaker 3: see him's too late. They don't even know who each 1235 01:05:58,480 --> 01:06:02,320 Speaker 3: other is. You get inducted into the super Secret Society 1236 01:06:02,360 --> 01:06:06,760 Speaker 3: of Assassins for Wakanda. This is how people get taken 1237 01:06:06,760 --> 01:06:10,320 Speaker 3: out overseas. Like somebody's walking around talk about Wakanda. They 1238 01:06:10,360 --> 01:06:13,760 Speaker 3: gotta go okay, and then they're gone. We don't ask questions. 1239 01:06:13,800 --> 01:06:18,280 Speaker 3: We don't know how that happened. But and Evan Narcis 1240 01:06:18,320 --> 01:06:21,360 Speaker 3: wrote a little bit about them in his run, and 1241 01:06:21,760 --> 01:06:23,280 Speaker 3: they've been written about. But I was able to put 1242 01:06:23,280 --> 01:06:26,080 Speaker 3: one or two in this book, and it was really 1243 01:06:26,120 --> 01:06:27,800 Speaker 3: funny because there's a lot of stuff like y'all have 1244 01:06:27,840 --> 01:06:29,800 Speaker 3: too many discussions. I don't understand why we just don't 1245 01:06:29,840 --> 01:06:33,920 Speaker 3: take a back, can't kill everybody, Hang on. 1246 01:06:36,400 --> 01:06:41,400 Speaker 2: Who are your inspirations that, like you know, helped influence 1247 01:06:41,600 --> 01:06:43,240 Speaker 2: Like what you said out there confers with. 1248 01:06:43,200 --> 01:06:48,800 Speaker 3: The book definitely. Just I wanted to give something to 1249 01:06:48,920 --> 01:06:52,800 Speaker 3: just about all of the writers, like like I said, Christopher, 1250 01:06:53,040 --> 01:06:58,560 Speaker 3: Jonathan Hickman, Jonathan Mayberry, you know, Jason, Aaron Rock, Saint 1251 01:06:58,640 --> 01:07:03,919 Speaker 3: Gay and even the artists like at least Martinez, and 1252 01:07:04,000 --> 01:07:05,400 Speaker 3: you know, if it were Richardson and a bunch of 1253 01:07:05,440 --> 01:07:09,760 Speaker 3: different people, I wanted to be able to highlight things 1254 01:07:09,760 --> 01:07:16,880 Speaker 3: that they've done. Reginald Hudlin, of course. And there are 1255 01:07:16,920 --> 01:07:21,640 Speaker 3: parts of the book that there's one part of the 1256 01:07:21,680 --> 01:07:25,520 Speaker 3: book that's actually very close to me, and it's it 1257 01:07:25,560 --> 01:07:27,760 Speaker 3: has to do with that mental mental part. And it's 1258 01:07:27,760 --> 01:07:30,400 Speaker 3: sort of like there's a section about like recovery and 1259 01:07:30,480 --> 01:07:33,000 Speaker 3: visual motor rehearsal and things like that. And not many 1260 01:07:33,040 --> 01:07:35,280 Speaker 3: people know this, but I'm a stroke survivor, and so 1261 01:07:35,440 --> 01:07:38,120 Speaker 3: I did a lot of work on I lost the 1262 01:07:38,160 --> 01:07:39,720 Speaker 3: ability to move the less side of my body for 1263 01:07:39,760 --> 01:07:44,880 Speaker 3: about six months, and so we'll move it properly. I 1264 01:07:44,880 --> 01:07:47,240 Speaker 3: should say I can move it, but I looked drunk. 1265 01:07:48,960 --> 01:07:57,720 Speaker 3: So the U and part I had a fantastic physical 1266 01:07:57,760 --> 01:08:01,800 Speaker 3: therapist that was individual MORTI rehearsal and things like that, 1267 01:08:01,920 --> 01:08:05,640 Speaker 3: how much your brain controls your body. So you would 1268 01:08:05,680 --> 01:08:07,480 Speaker 3: always give me mental stuff to do before I went 1269 01:08:07,520 --> 01:08:09,560 Speaker 3: to sleep, and I would wake up in the morning 1270 01:08:09,560 --> 01:08:10,920 Speaker 3: and it was like, well it works. I can move 1271 01:08:10,920 --> 01:08:13,800 Speaker 3: my finger, you know, things like that. And so there 1272 01:08:13,840 --> 01:08:16,640 Speaker 3: were certain things that just from my own life I 1273 01:08:16,720 --> 01:08:19,400 Speaker 3: was able to pull from. And then I know a 1274 01:08:19,439 --> 01:08:22,559 Speaker 3: lot of people, different people from across the diaspora, and 1275 01:08:22,600 --> 01:08:26,400 Speaker 3: I was able to tap into a lot of their 1276 01:08:27,560 --> 01:08:29,800 Speaker 3: Like my mother's not from this countrysation with Bermuda, but 1277 01:08:29,880 --> 01:08:32,040 Speaker 3: that's not the same as Haiti, that's not the same 1278 01:08:32,080 --> 01:08:36,560 Speaker 3: as Nigeria, that's not the same as you know, South Africa. 1279 01:08:36,640 --> 01:08:40,120 Speaker 3: So I was able to really tap into a lot 1280 01:08:40,120 --> 01:08:44,240 Speaker 3: of the stories and the culture I heard there from 1281 01:08:44,280 --> 01:08:48,519 Speaker 3: different people. Even that concept of passing things down to 1282 01:08:48,600 --> 01:08:52,120 Speaker 3: younger I don't know. I feel like that's an African thing. 1283 01:08:52,160 --> 01:08:54,920 Speaker 3: I feel like that's an African American thing. But in 1284 01:08:54,960 --> 01:08:57,160 Speaker 3: my family, I'm the oldest, I'm the only girl, and 1285 01:08:57,240 --> 01:09:00,559 Speaker 3: so if my little brothers did anything and gotten something, 1286 01:09:00,720 --> 01:09:04,280 Speaker 3: I would catch it right. And that's just how I know. 1287 01:09:04,400 --> 01:09:07,160 Speaker 3: My boyfriend runs like that, like you get younger brothers, 1288 01:09:07,400 --> 01:09:10,040 Speaker 3: something goes wrong while you want watch you catching it right. 1289 01:09:10,760 --> 01:09:16,639 Speaker 3: And so that's kind of how it works with the Kwatsa. 1290 01:09:16,760 --> 01:09:20,800 Speaker 3: The konwatsa is a excuse me, how's the term for 1291 01:09:20,880 --> 01:09:26,640 Speaker 3: a little sister. And so if you are a knwatsa 1292 01:09:26,680 --> 01:09:29,120 Speaker 3: door that means you're a little sister, and you have 1293 01:09:29,200 --> 01:09:31,759 Speaker 3: to speak to your Eadora. Who are you the mothers 1294 01:09:31,800 --> 01:09:34,759 Speaker 3: the older ones or your older knwata. But the point 1295 01:09:34,840 --> 01:09:38,120 Speaker 3: is you follow directions. At the same time, there's rules 1296 01:09:38,160 --> 01:09:41,240 Speaker 3: to this ship, right like, any you older ones start 1297 01:09:41,280 --> 01:09:44,320 Speaker 3: abusing power, we come a for you. You know, any 1298 01:09:44,360 --> 01:09:49,200 Speaker 3: of you younger ones try to thwart that power because 1299 01:09:49,200 --> 01:09:52,000 Speaker 3: remember they've dealt with a loss. They've dealt with the 1300 01:09:52,040 --> 01:09:56,360 Speaker 3: younger door a Dora killing an older Dora, right like, 1301 01:09:56,400 --> 01:09:59,720 Speaker 3: that's never happening on our watch again ever, So there's 1302 01:09:59,720 --> 01:10:04,479 Speaker 3: certain things that we're putting this in. So yeah, I am. 1303 01:10:05,160 --> 01:10:08,360 Speaker 3: I just was. First of all, I'm just really proud 1304 01:10:08,360 --> 01:10:09,880 Speaker 3: that they let me do half the stuff I was 1305 01:10:09,880 --> 01:10:12,920 Speaker 3: able to do. And then I got the biggest compliment 1306 01:10:13,040 --> 01:10:15,000 Speaker 3: from that last Remember I told you there's that last 1307 01:10:15,040 --> 01:10:17,639 Speaker 3: person at Marble that has to make sure that everything 1308 01:10:17,680 --> 01:10:23,200 Speaker 3: matches all of the things, and he approves everything, and 1309 01:10:23,240 --> 01:10:25,920 Speaker 3: then he sent me a personal email. I'm not allowed 1310 01:10:25,960 --> 01:10:28,080 Speaker 3: to divult you it is He sent me a personal 1311 01:10:28,120 --> 01:10:32,080 Speaker 3: email and he said, this is the best history of 1312 01:10:32,080 --> 01:10:35,000 Speaker 3: Wakanda I've ever read.

And 1346 01:12:09,400 --> 01:12:11,920 Speaker 3: I do want to say it is considered a ya book. 1347 01:12:12,479 --> 01:12:15,519 Speaker 3: So if you have a child that you know reads 1348 01:12:15,560 --> 01:12:19,200 Speaker 3: White books or you read why Whye books, there's no sex, 1349 01:12:19,360 --> 01:12:21,880 Speaker 3: there's no there's a little bit of violence, but it's 1350 01:12:21,880 --> 01:12:24,120 Speaker 3: not like I'm explaining some of the in their head 1351 01:12:24,200 --> 01:12:28,840 Speaker 3: chopped off, pouring out, nothing like that. The the two 1352 01:12:28,960 --> 01:12:31,519 Speaker 3: things that really excited me about the book also were 1353 01:12:32,080 --> 01:12:35,160 Speaker 3: the fighting styles. I'm an old school martial arts fan, 1354 01:12:35,680 --> 01:12:37,120 Speaker 3: getting up washing, you. 1355 01:12:37,080 --> 01:12:40,120 Speaker 1: Know, yes, Saturday morning, on Sunday morning. 1356 01:12:40,040 --> 01:12:47,160 Speaker 3: Come on, come on, and they let me kind of 1357 01:12:47,160 --> 01:12:49,360 Speaker 3: go nuts with that. But I loved how because a 1358 01:12:49,360 --> 01:12:51,320 Speaker 3: lot of people are like, oh, yeah, they would have 1359 01:12:51,360 --> 01:12:55,000 Speaker 3: done like you know, Wu shoo and taekwondo. I'm like, yes, 1360 01:12:55,479 --> 01:12:58,000 Speaker 3: but they probably also would have done and Go and 1361 01:12:58,080 --> 01:13:01,960 Speaker 3: Capa and they would have done uh in GOONI stick 1362 01:13:02,040 --> 01:13:05,680 Speaker 3: fighting and there's Haitian mushat and there's so I was 1363 01:13:05,840 --> 01:13:09,000 Speaker 3: very tried to also make sure that there is fighting 1364 01:13:09,000 --> 01:13:13,080 Speaker 3: styles from the African diaspora. And something Karen You said 1365 01:13:13,080 --> 01:13:18,160 Speaker 3: that was very interesting was women of different walks of 1366 01:13:18,200 --> 01:13:19,960 Speaker 3: life and stuff. One of the things two things I 1367 01:13:20,000 --> 01:13:23,360 Speaker 3: was really proud of is there. It's pretty well known 1368 01:13:23,360 --> 01:13:25,320 Speaker 3: in the comics. I don't think a lot of people 1369 01:13:25,360 --> 01:13:32,519 Speaker 3: know this, but the there are I don't well, I 1370 01:13:32,520 --> 01:13:35,679 Speaker 3: don't think it's really giving it away. Is it giving away? 1371 01:13:35,720 --> 01:13:38,360 Speaker 3: Like everybody knows in Imbaku and his tribe are supposed 1372 01:13:38,360 --> 01:13:40,040 Speaker 3: to be Ebo, right, is it Vanilla? 1373 01:13:40,560 --> 01:13:42,639 Speaker 1: I don't know if it's given away, but yeah, I. 1374 01:13:42,560 --> 01:13:48,280 Speaker 3: Think, okay, yeah, the Shafari tribe is supposed to be Ebo. 1375 01:13:49,840 --> 01:13:53,000 Speaker 3: So I there's a character in the book. I'm not 1376 01:13:53,040 --> 01:13:56,639 Speaker 3: going to say, you'll you'll find her who's Ebo. Who 1377 01:13:56,680 --> 01:14:02,719 Speaker 3: decides to become a Dora. Wow, there's a deep credit 1378 01:14:02,720 --> 01:14:04,639 Speaker 3: in there you for other comic creators. But she decides 1379 01:14:04,680 --> 01:14:08,880 Speaker 3: to become a Dora. And she's tiny, she's like five two, 1380 01:14:09,080 --> 01:14:11,000 Speaker 3: And there's a bunch of other things. She speaks Ebo, 1381 01:14:11,240 --> 01:14:13,880 Speaker 3: not Yova, not Swahili, not Kosa. She lives in the 1382 01:14:13,880 --> 01:14:16,320 Speaker 3: mountains where it's cold. Down in the city it's hot 1383 01:14:16,360 --> 01:14:20,920 Speaker 3: as hell. She's like, what is happening? Right? And on 1384 01:14:21,000 --> 01:14:24,240 Speaker 3: top of everything else, like standard issue spear is like 1385 01:14:24,640 --> 01:14:28,880 Speaker 3: twice her size five to she's little, she's you know, 1386 01:14:29,120 --> 01:14:36,640 Speaker 3: quinter to Princeton, And so I had to change her 1387 01:14:36,640 --> 01:14:40,040 Speaker 3: fighting style right up to the ground so that she 1388 01:14:40,240 --> 01:14:46,360 Speaker 3: did more of an Indonesian pancast a lot like John 1389 01:14:46,400 --> 01:14:49,280 Speaker 3: Wick has seen them, like the Indonesian or or the 1390 01:14:49,400 --> 01:14:54,320 Speaker 3: rain rave that and you know how they have that 1391 01:14:54,439 --> 01:14:58,719 Speaker 3: tiny curved knife because it's very it's quick because she's little, right, 1392 01:14:59,000 --> 01:15:00,640 Speaker 3: she'll like take you down, she get your legs and 1393 01:15:00,640 --> 01:15:01,160 Speaker 3: then you're down. 1394 01:15:01,560 --> 01:15:02,400 Speaker 1: Yeah. 1395 01:15:02,479 --> 01:15:04,720 Speaker 3: So but it was just like and it was but 1396 01:15:04,760 --> 01:15:06,519 Speaker 3: that was a part of the story that was about 1397 01:15:07,920 --> 01:15:11,160 Speaker 3: how do I do this. I'm like really foreign here, 1398 01:15:11,880 --> 01:15:13,680 Speaker 3: like I don't speak the language, I'm not the same height, 1399 01:15:13,720 --> 01:15:16,280 Speaker 3: I'm not the same strength, you know, And she had 1400 01:15:16,320 --> 01:15:18,240 Speaker 3: to figure out how to get through and that that's 1401 01:15:18,280 --> 01:15:22,160 Speaker 3: another like that's a personal story, but it's not necessarily 1402 01:15:22,320 --> 01:15:26,000 Speaker 3: I can't a character that you've met before. And the 1403 01:15:26,080 --> 01:15:30,000 Speaker 3: other thing that I'm hugely proud of is the fact 1404 01:15:30,000 --> 01:15:32,759 Speaker 3: that they let me write the origin of the dorm logic, 1405 01:15:32,840 --> 01:15:36,000 Speaker 3: Like who came up with Whenever I bring that up, 1406 01:15:36,040 --> 01:15:41,200 Speaker 3: people go Christopher Freeze and I'm like, in world in universe, yea, 1407 01:15:41,360 --> 01:15:47,479 Speaker 3: not the author. And they Marvel released this information like 1408 01:15:47,479 --> 01:15:49,160 Speaker 3: six months ago. I'm like, I wanted to release that 1409 01:15:49,280 --> 01:15:54,000 Speaker 3: with the book, but I but. 1410 01:15:52,880 --> 01:15:55,160 Speaker 2: That's but that's low key kind of good, right because 1411 01:15:55,200 --> 01:15:58,000 Speaker 2: that means they were excited. They were pleased, like they 1412 01:15:58,280 --> 01:15:59,880 Speaker 2: you know, it's that thing where like they couldn't wait 1413 01:15:59,880 --> 01:16:01,200 Speaker 2: to show y'all. 1414 01:16:03,280 --> 01:16:07,839 Speaker 3: And I did a great interview with uh Charles Polliam 1415 01:16:07,960 --> 01:16:11,000 Speaker 3: of The Verge of all about this. But I made 1416 01:16:11,040 --> 01:16:15,080 Speaker 3: the Honda the creator of the dorm lage and you 1417 01:16:15,080 --> 01:16:16,960 Speaker 3: can you can read the story I Marvel right now. 1418 01:16:17,400 --> 01:16:20,000 Speaker 3: But you can. It's also obviously in the book. If 1419 01:16:20,040 --> 01:16:21,680 Speaker 3: I think, if you google what does it take to 1420 01:16:21,720 --> 01:16:25,320 Speaker 3: become a dormalage, it takes you right to the page, Okay. 1421 01:16:26,479 --> 01:16:31,160 Speaker 3: And I took it from a real life story and 1422 01:16:31,720 --> 01:16:35,680 Speaker 3: that's from Tanas Coach basically, so you know how the 1423 01:16:35,760 --> 01:16:39,200 Speaker 3: wakandass have gods. So the gods are they call the 1424 01:16:39,280 --> 01:16:45,280 Speaker 3: Wakanda gods arisha. Arisha is usually is a europe word 1425 01:16:45,280 --> 01:16:48,840 Speaker 3: that's usually used for gods. But he gods of Wakanda 1426 01:16:50,640 --> 01:16:52,840 Speaker 3: cover the same elements that we're all used to, but 1427 01:16:52,920 --> 01:17:00,519 Speaker 3: they're from different i'll say, different ethnic backgrounds. So there's 1428 01:17:00,680 --> 01:17:03,400 Speaker 3: like an Egyptian god, there is a you know, of course, 1429 01:17:03,439 --> 01:17:08,519 Speaker 3: you know bost but one of the gods goddess of water, 1430 01:17:08,680 --> 01:17:12,840 Speaker 3: but the ocean basically in Wakanda is Mujaji. Mujaji is 1431 01:17:12,920 --> 01:17:15,720 Speaker 3: kind of like Gamunja ola kun for those of you 1432 01:17:15,720 --> 01:17:23,840 Speaker 3: who are scholars of African dasporic deities and but in 1433 01:17:23,920 --> 01:17:31,840 Speaker 3: real life, the Mujaji cult is in South Africa. In 1434 01:17:31,880 --> 01:17:34,519 Speaker 3: real life, this is a matrilineal society and you can 1435 01:17:34,560 --> 01:17:38,840 Speaker 3: look them up and they've always been matrillineal. And it's 1436 01:17:39,640 --> 01:17:43,280 Speaker 3: a woman that is always the priestess, the head priestess, 1437 01:17:43,840 --> 01:17:49,320 Speaker 3: and she always has her wives around her. It has 1438 01:17:49,400 --> 01:17:52,200 Speaker 3: nothing to do. It's not a sexual things.

Nerd used to mean social outcasts, 1812 01:36:08,560 --> 01:36:13,599 Speaker 2: social pariah, something like that, and I think now you know, 1813 01:36:13,840 --> 01:36:17,080 Speaker 2: now it means like somebody is knowledgeable about something, or 1814 01:36:17,120 --> 01:36:20,240 Speaker 2: somebody that's like into this certain type of pop culture.

I'm 1836 01:37:21,680 --> 01:37:24,200 Speaker 2: blame to recast o'challa movement. I brought that question up 1837 01:37:24,240 --> 01:37:25,240 Speaker 2: and then they castled. 1838 01:37:26,479 --> 01:37:27,760 Speaker 3: They hated me. They have. 1839 01:37:28,240 --> 01:37:29,880 Speaker 1: They took all screen and said, we don't want a 1840 01:37:29,920 --> 01:37:30,559 Speaker 1: woman speaking. 1841 01:37:32,080 --> 01:37:35,439 Speaker 3: Well, actually, so I'll just briefly talk about that, because 1842 01:37:35,439 --> 01:37:40,280 Speaker 3: we've been talking for ever. I wrote, actually my first 1843 01:37:40,320 --> 01:37:44,599 Speaker 3: article for Mashable. It was about recasting'challa. And it's interesting 1844 01:37:44,640 --> 01:37:46,360 Speaker 3: because they reached out and wanted me to write about 1845 01:37:46,360 --> 01:37:47,800 Speaker 3: and they were like, yeah, like maybe you could say 1846 01:37:47,800 --> 01:37:49,920 Speaker 3: a few words about this, And I said, if I'm 1847 01:37:49,920 --> 01:37:52,400 Speaker 3: going to do this, I'm going to do it properly, 1848 01:37:52,479 --> 01:37:54,679 Speaker 3: and I'm going to talk to a bunch of different people. 1849 01:37:55,760 --> 01:37:58,040 Speaker 3: It's not going to be my opinion. It's going to 1850 01:37:58,080 --> 01:38:01,640 Speaker 3: be from a joists. Like the journalist in me came 1851 01:38:01,680 --> 01:38:05,320 Speaker 3: out like I'm going to give an objective recounting of 1852 01:38:05,360 --> 01:38:07,960 Speaker 3: what it is. And I think the most interesting thing 1853 01:38:07,960 --> 01:38:11,960 Speaker 3: that came out of that entire experience was that it 1854 01:38:12,000 --> 01:38:16,360 Speaker 3: didn't start the way people think it started, and it's 1855 01:38:16,400 --> 01:38:19,719 Speaker 3: not ending the way people thought it would end. Okay, 1856 01:38:20,000 --> 01:38:28,320 Speaker 3: all right, so yeah, and I again also the apparently 1857 01:38:28,360 --> 01:38:31,000 Speaker 3: the majority of the people who follow the hashtag are 1858 01:38:31,040 --> 01:38:33,240 Speaker 3: going to see the movie. There's all these different little 1859 01:38:33,280 --> 01:38:37,639 Speaker 3: offshoots now that are some are boycotting, some aren't. Those 1860 01:38:37,680 --> 01:38:42,080 Speaker 3: are probably people that are boycotting the women King. Listen 1861 01:38:43,080 --> 01:38:44,759 Speaker 3: what I said, and I said this in the article. 1862 01:38:45,040 --> 01:38:47,480 Speaker 3: I don't think Marvel could have concured a better advertising 1863 01:38:47,479 --> 01:38:51,439 Speaker 3: strategy for Black Panther, like the amount of people that 1864 01:38:51,479 --> 01:38:53,759 Speaker 3: I've been talking about the movie NonStop for the past 1865 01:38:53,760 --> 01:38:57,200 Speaker 3: since he passed away. Yeah, because of that hashtag. They 1866 01:38:57,240 --> 01:38:59,800 Speaker 3: couldn't have. And I'm not saying that anybody should be 1867 01:38:59,800 --> 01:39:02,320 Speaker 3: out advertising or profiting off of Chadwick Boseman's death. To 1868 01:39:02,479 --> 01:39:06,360 Speaker 3: not just quote me, but what I am saying is 1869 01:39:08,680 --> 01:39:14,639 Speaker 3: I how it started is not how it's finishing. The 1870 01:39:14,640 --> 01:39:19,160 Speaker 3: only reason why I can't say that I support the concept. 1871 01:39:19,240 --> 01:39:22,000 Speaker 3: I can't support the hashtag because there's too many people 1872 01:39:22,120 --> 01:39:24,920 Speaker 3: who too many missoginists, and too many people who have 1873 01:39:25,560 --> 01:39:27,560 Speaker 3: sub tweeted me and called me out my name and 1874 01:39:27,640 --> 01:39:30,960 Speaker 3: other people's shows.
