And that's not a dig at Black Panther. It's simply the truth.

I'm sure Hasbro realizes this, hence the failure to go deep into his supporting cast. There is a reason that characters like Speed Demon, Female Beetle, Nico, White Tiger, Misty Knight, and Ashley Barton are clogging up toy aisles, and that's because the average person, and even the casual comic fan, has no clue who or what they're looking at, or even the connection to said character.

Yeah, well I guess this is a running trend with Hasbro. Both the Ant-man and Dr. Strange waves got this treatment, but it doesn't mean I have to like it. Oh well, disappointing that I'll have to weed through the Captain America's and Iron Man's again when the eventual Captain Marvel wave hits.
