Here we go again


Female writers of movies proclaim that "Black Panther" is a game changer. Uh, no.

"Wonder Woman" was proclaimed a game changer. Un, no.

"Panther" raked in a pile of dough bigger than Africa, but producers and financiers do not gamble on "game changers."

The title character's male, you probably noticed.

Distressing sidelight: A news story reported this week that mentally fragile Stan Lee, 95, is surrounded by vultures who are burning through the $10 million he got for "Panther" at rocket speed. He'll be penniless in days.

His wife of upteen years died recently, sending him into a tailspin.

I'd proclaim this sad, but that word's been ruined.
