Below you find the thoughts of the average, inter-net Joe. No me, but a combination of me and this other dude

Well, not the best article for one.  :-\

When you say stuff that even Perry would say, you need to reevaluate your thoughts. Like the classic -

"Black Hammer is not a super-hero comic book, but rather a comic book about super-heroes"

 ::)

while first going hyperbolic with what the issue of Cthu-Louise by describing it with such an adjective as gut-wrenching"? Did anyone here come close to thinking that one-shot was anywhere close to being a "gut-wrenching tale"? I think not.
 ::)

but as for the premise itself, can Black Hammer be the next MCU ... no

Look, you know I love the series but I think with this article we have one fan paying personal tribute to a series he obviously loves. And that is fine. But the fact that Black Hammer pays so much obvious ... tribute to all those that came before pretty much kills it as a massive theatrical hit.

Will the movie or show (hopefully show) be well done? I sure hope so, but the first time, to use a character he mentions, Golden Gail tries to utter her version of SHAZAM!, people are going to do two things-
Consider it a funny homage to Shazam
Consider it a rip-off of Shazam
And that, along with the other very close approximations to other characters makes this little more than a "fun" little project to the outside world and not the massive beast that is the MCU

*drops mic*

 :D :D

Okay, all joking aside, how cool would that be if BH became the juggernaut that the MCU became? I just ... yeah, that is never happening.
But one thing the writer is correct about, done right, this series (please let it be a series) can be something very special. Just like the comic!!!!
