When Chadwick Boseman, portraying the original Black Panther, died in 2020, Marvel knew they had to do something to carry on the very profitable franchise.
What to do?
We at Chainsaw Chicken International, Ltd went to Hollywood and made a ‘pitch’ to the creative staff at Marvel.
Rather than trying to find another person to replace Boseman, or harvesting enough scenes from the cutting room floor out of the first movie, we suggested that the Country of Wakanoda launch a new hero, one that is similar to Black Panther but unique and stands alone.
This new hero should be someone that could launch gas filled eggs that could incapacitate the bad guys and alien invaders, his beak could be coated by vibratium, that special metal everyone wants but is in short supply in their kingdom.
This new hero could be “Chicken Panther”… mad as a wet hen!
We were abruptly escorted from the property.
I think that ‘Chicken Panther’ would have been received better as ‘Black Chicken’ but that would have been frowned upon.
