			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<blockquote><p><strong>NEW YORK, NY &#8211; May 15, 2012</strong> &#8211; Crossover hip-hop artist Yitz “Y-Love” Jordan is speaking out for the first time about his life as a gay man of color, while straddling the worlds of hip-hop and Hasidic Judaism &#8211; two communities not known for supporting lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people. On May 15th his latest release, “Focus on the Flair,” will bring a new, authentic voice to the hip-hop world and the LGBT community.</p>
<p>Said Jordan, explaining his decision to publicly identify as a gay man for the first time: “I want mine to be the last generation of LGBT Americans that remembers what a closet is. I want kids in 20 years to sit annoyed through LGBT history class to learn about that long ago time ‘when gay people used to have to lie,’ much like segregation is a far-off time to many of today&#8217;s middle-class black youth.”</p>
<p>Continued Jordan: “Why come out now? I&#8217;ve wanted to for a long time. I feel like I have wasted years of my life worrying that my ‘public reputation’ will be negatively impacted by my identity. Now that I&#8217;m over 30, I simply can&#8217;t care as much about what people think, despite the prospect of alienating the community I dedicated my life to as an artist and a man. My hope is it will open their eyes – and hearts. I’m ready to live authentically. I&#8217;m ready to find a husband. I&#8217;m ready to live without fear of being outed or the stress of keeping my whole self from people. And I&#8217;ve waited too long to do that.”</p>
<p>Born to a Puerto Rican mother and an Ethiopian father, Jordan converted to Hasidic Judaism in 2000, subsequently studying at Jerusalem’s Ohr Somayach yeshiva. Now, he is prepared to risk losing much of his former audience by being true to himself. Said Jordan: “So many conservative-minded hip-hop fans have listened to me to be their ‘voice of Jewish values’ for so long that I&#8217;m sure some will huff off in disgust at seeing the real me. What will not change is my art. My rhymes will still be 20% Hebrew and full of Jewish quotes as always. I also fully expect that these people who no longer find me &#8220;appropriate&#8221; will be replaced by fans who can truly appreciate the real me &#8212; with a particular emphasis on LGBT hip-hop fans, who I think will be able to identify with my struggle and triumph and have few out artists and role models.”</p>
<p>When Y-Love released his first mix tape in 2005, the world took note of the first African-American Orthodox hip-hop artist. Now, Y-Love is leading a new era of “global hip-hop” — where global social consciousness combines with pounding rhythms. Y-Love’s club-friendly tracks are influenced as much by rap vet Chuck D as by new artists like Major Lazer and Nicki Minaj. Y-Love explored a variety of new styles on his 2011 album “See Me”, from dance to hip-hop to pop, channeling each one to express his underlying anti-prejudice message: “Unity builds the world, all divisions destroy the world.”</p>
<p>Y-Love gained worldwide praise with his first album This is Babylon, which propelled him to appearances from BBC World TV to Late Night with Conan O’Brien. The world’s first black “Jewish MC”, Y-Love has featured his compelling perspective in hundreds of publications, including USA Today, XXL Magazine, The Australian and Italy’s La Repubblica.</p>
<p>Now, Y-Love is speaking frankly about the influence of his sexuality on his work, and how his coming out will be felt by listeners of his upcoming album “Focus on the Flair.” Said Jordan: &#8220;If anything, I&#8217;d say that being closeted about my sexuality gave an edge of anger to my tracks, which, while couched in revolutionary terms, stemmed from a place of inner anguish and frustration.” Continued Jordan: “‘Focus on the Flair’ is my first album where I feel like my music reflects an inner happiness and joy instead of primarily an inner conflict. And that is a reflection of what it means to come out and be true to oneself – the joy, the relief and the hope. I hope that is what people will see and focus on.”</p></blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Fans looking forward to the new <em>Tomb Raider</em> game will have to wait a little bit longer, as it&#8217;s been announced that the game will be delayed until 2013, according to Darrell Gallagher, head of Crystal Dynamics.</p>
<blockquote><p>
    When Crystal Dynamics first set out to reboot the Tomb Raider franchise, there were two goals that we were extremely passionate about. The first was to create a modern Tomb Raider game that would surprise and excite gamers. The second was to make this the best game of our careers, something we would be really proud to be a part of. We truly believe that we have something very special on our hands and we can’t wait to share it with you.</p>
<p>    Our priority now is to make sure we fully deliver the very highest quality game. In order to do this, we have decided to move the game’s release date by a few months, from Fall 2012 to the first quarter of 2013.</p>
<p>    We’re doing things that are completely new to Tomb Raider in this game and the additional development time will allow us to put the finishing touches into the game and polish it to a level that you deserve. We believe this is the right choice and I guarantee it will be worth the wait. The game is looking amazing and we can’t wait to show it to everyone at E3 in a few weeks.</p></blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman">Ab-Soul Featuring Kendrick Lamar – ILLuminate: YO! This song is f-ing fire! I really slept on Ab-Soul, he’s very nice lyrically. This beat has a Dub Step feel to it with its rolling drums but the drums makes this song very dope. My favorite line is “I use to wanna rap like Jay-Z now I feel like I can run laps around Jay-Z.” Ha!</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman">Childish Gambino Featuring Flynt Flossy &amp; Yung Humma – Your Blog: This song is unfinished but was leaked to the internet anyway. Damn pirates! Gambino is really putting his bid into the industry. He’s all over the place but in a great way. This is a dope song to be unfinished.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman">Drew Mills – Couch Music &amp; #ThatsLove: I was blessed to meet Drew Mills this past Sunday at an event I live streamed from. I believe he performed #ThatsLove and I was hooked by his lyrical delivery and content. I actually had an hour long chat with him about music, artists, and the industry. I listened to his mixtape, Couch Music and Couch Music and #That’sLove were my favor tracks. #That’sLove is just so sick lyrically, I am not over hyping this artist, just spreading the truth. If you want to hear more of Mills’ work check him out at this link here. <a href="http://drewmills.bandcamp.com/album/couch-music"><span style="color: #0000ff;font-size: x-small">http://drewmills.bandcamp.com/album/couch-music</span></a></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman">Edward Sharpe The Magnetic Zeroes – That’s What’s Up: <strong>My Jam of the Week! </strong>I love this song! I love the Folkore and Rhythm and Blues fusion of this song. The female vocalist in the background of the lead vocals is amazing. She has me feeling this song the most. My favorite part is when the song get to the bridge and the clapping comes in. That’s so dope! </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman">Gambit – This Town: This is a great song also. The lead vocals’ voice is so catchy. They’re almost generic, similar to other Indie Rock bands. Honestly the vocals is what works for this song. His vocals pull me into this song from the first lyric he utters. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman">Here We Go Magic – How Do I Know: I checked out the awesome video to this song and it was a wrap. I had to feature this song because the video was so freaking awesome! This is a good song but the video makes this song great!</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman">Kanye West Featuring Vega Choir – Forever West (Urban Noize Remix): I love the choir version of Radio Head’s Creep. I figured this was a great mix/mash-up of Kanye West and Creep accompanied by a great beat. Nice!</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman">RAC Featuring Penguin Prison – Hollywood: This is a great Pop song. I am not the biggest fan of Pop music but when a good song comes along I am not ashamed to say I like it. I love the flow of this song because the lead vocalist’s vocal just flows with the beat. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman">S-Dub – Greatest Show On Earth: This is a dope f-ing song! This artist’s flow and hooks are kind of nice. His flow reminds me of a more clever and less drug talk Pusha T with his delivery. The beat reminds me of a Rick Ross beat from the sounding of the drums, the rolls, and breaks.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman">Trust – Shoom: I almost didn’t feature this song but I am happy I did. This song is dark but cool. Shoom reminds me of Nine Inch Nails song for its dark tone and usage of the beat throughout the song. This song reminds me of a track I would hear in an action movie during a club scene. I like how the vocals are behind the beat in this song at one point. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman">TV Girl – TV in the Bedroom: <strong>This group’s album is my Album of the Week! </strong>This group is like The Gorillaz meets The Avalanches. This album is too dope for my little words. Here is a link to their new album. Listen!  <a href="http://tvgirl.bandcamp.com/"><span style="color: #0000ff;font-size: x-small">http://tvgirl.bandcamp.com/</span></a></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman">The Weeknd – Get in There: This is The Weeknd’s first track he ever recorded. There is a lot of The-Dream’s influence within this track. There isn’t anything wrong with that but I am happy The Weeknd found his own style. This is a good song to check out and judge for yourself. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman">I would like to apologize for the error/mix up with Fresh Fridays Vol. 33. The three songs below were supposed to be in vol. 33; since they weren’t actually featured on the mixtape I am featuring these three songs on vol. 35. Enjoy! Sorry, won’t happen again. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman">Logic – Tic Tac Toe: A) I like this song because of Logic, he’s nice! B) This song samples The Weeknd’s D.D., great sample! C) This is a hot song!</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman">Margel – Raine: A Philly native and a part of the group Sela. This song is Classical music meets modern day production with the sound effects in the background. This song is quite beautiful; I have wanted to feature a song from this artist for a long time. I really dig his classical touch, it’s almost sublime. If you would like to hear more music from this artist here is a link where you can find his work. <a href="http://soundcloud.com/margel-sophant"><span style="color: #0000ff;font-size: x-small">http://soundcloud.com/margel-sophant</span></a></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman">Nas – Another Black Girl Lost: If you liked the original song from the early 90’s, Black Girl Lost for its lyrical contents then you’ll love this song. Enough said!</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;font-size: small"> </span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>With the season six premiere of <em>Burn Notice</em> on the horizon <strong>(June 14th at 9pm/8pm C )</strong>, USA Network is looking for fans to vote on a new opening sequence. Head over to <a href="http://www.usanetwork.com/series/burnnotice/fanvote/">BurnNoticeFanVote.com</a> or <a href="https://www.facebook.com/burnnotice">Burn Notice&#8217;s Facebook page</a> and choose between two brand new options; an updated version of the opening we&#8217;re all used to, and an all new version revamped from the ground up. </p>
<p>I don&#8217;t know about y&#8217;all, but I think I might be voting for that all new hotness! Especially when you consider that after five seasons, we kind of know all the players, and some of it&#8217;s kind of inaccurate; Fiona&#8217;s no longer Michael&#8217;s trigger-happy ex, they&#8217;ve been a clearly defined couple for at least a whole season (although is IS still trigger-happy). Sam having informed on Michael to the FBI hasn&#8217;t been relevant since the end of season one. And is Michael Westen even still burned?!? He seems to be in good standing with the CIA after clearing his name, even if his handler can only trust him as far as she can throw him!</p>
<p>Obviously, I&#8217;ve overthought this, just go vote!!!</p>

It&#8217;s a nice enough video, though, even if features echoes of &#8220;Black Hole Sun&#8221;, just . . . in a warehouse.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Brooklyn Bodega, producers of the annual Brooklyn Hip-Hop Festival (BHF), are proud to announce that legendary Brooklyn MC, Busta Rhymes will be headlining the 8th Annual Brooklyn Hip-Hop Festival, Monday, July 9th to Saturday, July 14th..<span id="more-57853"></span></p>
<p>Festivalgoers from 2011 will remember Busta&#8217;s show stopping cameo with long time collaborator and friend, Q-Tip. The Flatbush MC was part of Q-Tip&#8217;s &#8220;Friends&#8221; and helped launched The Festival&#8217;s &#8221; &#8230;..and Friends&#8221; concept where headliners are carefully chosen to not only reflect the mission of the Festival but also to be honored by it.</p>
<p>Brooklyn Bodega wanted to work with Busta as his 20+ year career is as rare in Hip-Hop as is his signature style. From forming Leaders Of the New School to collaborating with Chris Brown, Busta has set the standard for creating a fortified and powerful career that has helped Hip-Hop grow and evolve from the streets of New York to the most powerful voice on the planet.</p>
<p>Brooklyn&#8217;s own Trevor Smith has endured multiple deals, group break ups and the ever fickle admiration of fans and critics. No other artist has been able to touch so many spheres in Hip-Hop. From working and signing with Dr. Dre, mentoring artists like Roc Marciano to now joining foster with Lil Wayne&#8217;s YMCMB roster.</p>
<p>While Busta is know for his hits like &#8220;Whoo Ha&#8221;, &#8220;Put Your Hands When My Eyes Can See&#8221;, &#8220;Another Case of the PTA&#8221; with Leaders Of The New School, and a host of others, he also worked extensively with the likes of the late James &#8220;J Dilla&#8221; Yancey, The Bomb Squad (Public Enemy, Ice Cube) and The Large Professor. His connections to the best and brightest go deeper as for years the late legendary Grandmaster Roc Raida manned the Technics 1200&#8242;s as Busta&#8217;s DJ.</p>
<p><em>&#8220;One of the most interesting things that kept coming up when we talked about Busta in the office is all the different &#8216;Bustas&#8217; there were. Busta to me is the skinny kid from &#8216;Sound Of The Zeekers&#8217;. To other cats in the office he is the muse of Hype Williams and the definitive artist of the video era. To younger fans he is the guy who killed it on the Chris Brown song. To purists he was Dilla&#8217;s biggest supporter after Q-Tip. Just as Q-Tip was in 2011, Busta is the embodiment of what Brooklyn Bodega and The Brooklyn Hip-Hop Festival is all about. Diversity, inspiration, longevity all fueled by an undeniable love for the music and culture. Who else has rocked with Hank Shocklee, Q-Tip, Dr. Dre, Dilla, MOP, Janet Jackson, Diddy, Swizz [Beatz], The Fugees, and Nas. People have been asking how we are going to top last year when Q-Tip brought out Kanye. I think we figured it out.&#8221;</em><br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hip hop fans lost a legend today as Adam Yauch, AKA MCA of Beastie Boys lost his fight with cancer today.  The 47 year old announced that he learned he had a cancerous tumor back in 2009 and started treatments immediately.  As a result, the Hot Sauce Committee Part Two and the accompanying tour was delayed as the artist updated fans that his condition was &#8216;very treatable.&#8217;</p>
<p>The noted artist, director and humanitarian is survived by a wife and daughter.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>***MILD SPOILER WARNING***</em></p>
<p>What words could I possibly use to describe what I just watched? Awesome? Incredible? Badass? Seeing how it’s 3:30am as I&#8217;m writing this, I think I’m perfectly justified with going with “Holy Fucking Shit.”<span id="more-57847"></span></p>
<p>This is the <em>Avengers</em> film that everyone has been waiting for; that Marvel has so carefully laid the groundwork for over the past four years. As soon as Nick Fury appeared in the post-credits scene in <em>Iron Man</em>, everyone needed to have it in their lives.  </p>
<p>It’s a film that’s heavy on the action sequences but only because it&#8217;s necessary.  The world has gone to hell and that’s why they need the Avengers.  It starts with an action sequence that was teased after the Thor credits and that also sets up the entire film.  Loki’s managed to find himself some new allies, an alien race called the Chitauri, and he’s using the Tesseract to bring his new army to earth and blows up a SHIELD base along the way despite the best efforts of Fury, Maria Hill, and Coulson.  He also leaves with Hawkeye and Dr. Selvig who he mind controls into helping carry out his master plan.  Because I went into the film spoiler free, I was completely thrown by Hawkeye’s temporary bad guy detour but upon reflection, I kind of liked it as a subtle shout out to his comic book criminal past.  I honestly just loved the entire opening sequence as a whole but I’ll admit that I might be biased because of my love for Maria Hill.  </p>
<p>That’s not to say that the entire film is action.  Each character is introduced in a way that felt natural and the conflicts and personality clashes between various characters were likewise very organic.  There is also time for character development especially as the Avengers learn how to work past their clashing personalities and work with one another as a team.  </p>
<p>The obligatory Whedon death doesn’t feel cheap but is instead used as a powerful motivator for some of the heroes.  (I am, however, remaining in denial that the character really died.)  In fact, all of Whedon’s typical trademarks are present but none of them feel forced.  The quippy and humorous lines?  Completely in character every time.  The badass women?  Well, of course the Black Widow and Maria Hill are going to know how to kick ass.  In other words, nothing felt forced.</p>
<p>Although the film is supposed to be from Captain America’s point of view, I thought it was truly an ensemble cast.  No character felt neglected in favour of plot development for another.  And that’s what the Avengers is really about.  They’re a team.  It could be argued that Hawkeye got a little less focus but that can be blamed mostly on his status as a mind controlled villain for the first half of the film.  By the time the team assembles, you understand every member’s motivations for being there and the circling panning shot is just amazing and emotional.  Furthermore, all of the cameos and mentions of characters from the solo films felt natural.  </p>
<p>For me, the biggest surprise was how completely and utterly awesome the Hulk was.  Mark Ruffalo makes an outstanding Hulk and the screenwriters clearly had a lot of fun with him. The moment where Cap tells him to “smash” is just as great as it was in the TV spot and there are two other particularly great moments during the final battle but I won’t spoil them for you.</p>
<p>Besides the Hulk and the circular shot, other standout moments for me included Loki’s speech in Germany, Natasha’s interrogation of Loki, and also a certain humorous line from Thor that I couldn’t do justice here.     </p>
<p>Be sure to stay for after the credits and I do mean the ENTIRE credits. There are two post-credits scenes and that’s all I’ll say about that.  (Apparently the one at the very end is unique to the United States?  Or so I was told.)</p>
<p>To sum it all up?  Not only is <em>The Avengers</em> a film worth seeing but it’s a film worth seeing twice.  I know I’ll be going again.  As soon as I take a nap.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Add-2 – Ain’t $hit Change:  This is a dope f*cking start to Fresh Fridays. I love the down to earth, funky, witty lyrical, Hip-Hop vibe this song gives off. I love the fact this artist actually called out the corny “big wig” rappers in the game. His delivery is so smooth but vicious. Nice!</p>
<p>Bon Iver – Holocene (BA$$Y Remix): This song reminds me of something from Danger Mouse’s Grey Album with the breaks and the usages of Bon Iver’s vocal, making his vocals sound as if they’re apart of the beat. Also this song has a little bounce and body rocking rhythms to it.</p>
<p>Chief Keef Featuring Kanye West, Pusha T, Jadakiss, and Big Sean – I Don’t Like (G.O.O.D. Music Remix): I am not raving about this song, I just like it enough. It’s a solid song but I have realized anything Kanye West touches turns into magic. The magic is for the up and coming artist on the track because West’s feature will make the artist’s verse on any song sound a little better than usual.</p>
<p>Foxes – White Coats: I’ve featured a song from this artist on Fresh Fridays before. I live off on the three songs rule before I begin liking an artist. This song is pretty much like a tampon commercial theme song but this is a great song. I really like the sound of this song mainly because of Foxes’ lead vocals are lovely. Great song!</p>
<p>Gotye – Somebody That I Used To Know (Chuck Inglish Remix): I like the original version of this song from the first moment I heard it. The crazy part about the original song is I didn’t know I had on my iPod until it become popular. I hate to say, I stopped liking the original version. This remix version is pretty dope, just some drums, scratching, and studio efforts added into this version. This is a good version.</p>
<p>Grimes – Oblivion: I love the sound of this song and I love the lead vocalist’s vocals. Her voice is so beautiful and dreamy. This song overall is pretty funky and dreamy. I am feeling this week’s Indie music selection.</p>
<p>Jon Kilmer – Baberaham Lincoln Contest: I believe the opening clip is fromWayne’s World the movie. That was one of my favorite movies as a child. This is a dope instrumental but there is one problem is I don’t think I would compare Abe Lincoln to a sexy lady.</p>
<p>Manicanparty – Monarch: This is a loud but chilled song. Here is another female lead vocalist for this week’s Fresh Fridays; that’s so sexy to me. I love hearing a lead female vocalist with good vocal. The beat is one of my favorite part of this song next the vocals. The beat is loud, slow, and beautiful those are great elements for a good song.</p>
<p>Micahfonecheck Featuring Kendrick Lamar – Girls inAmerica: This. Song. Here. Is. A. Banger. The beat is tight, the vocals are solid, the hook is awesome, and Kendrick is very smooth. I didn’t understand this artist’s name until I just wrote it down. Microphone Check, clever.</p>
<p>Phoenix VS. Kavinsky – Night Mania (Carlos Serrano Mix):  <strong>Jam of the Week! </strong>Nightcall is my ish, first of all. I have heard Nightcall mashed up with Tyga’sRackCity and a Wale song but this just might be my favorite mash-up with this beat so far. I never really cared for the original version ofPhoenix’s song; this version is much better thanPhoenix’s original song. Great mash-up!</p>
<p>Princeton– Andre: Good song, slow, calm, and easy; nothing amazing but solid. I enjoy the basic usage of Rock band instruments and the surprise usage of a violin on the bridge. Nice Indie Rock song.</p>
<p>Reptar – Orifice Origami: I love the excitement of this song. I love the energy the lead singer puts out in this song. His energy is happy and you can tell he loves this job. If more artists give this much energy on their songs there would be more successful groups and artists in the industry.</p>
<p>Urban Cone – Freak: I really love the Indie Rock songs this week. This is one of my favorite songs this week. This song is very catchy and upbeat. I love the lead vocals because here is another artist that sings with excitement behind each lyric he utters. I feel like moving and jamming out whenever I hear this song.</p>
<p>Gamble &amp; Burke – Driven Girl: Last call and last song! Trust me, you guys, this is a great last song! Bottom line. Enjoy!</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A new trailer for the Amazing Spider-Man is now online, giving us much more of the story than before, and also features a lot of new Lizard footage (he&#8217;s in the lab coat!!!), and a hell of a lot more webslinging that I&#8217;m willing to admit is very impressive. <span id="more-57844"></span></p>
<p><iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/Fqd-9Jl6KXY" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<p>But figure me if I&#8217;m still not terribly sold on the actual story. There&#8217;s a lot of &#8220;I need to find out what happened to my parents&#8221; that I know might make for an interesting story to some Spider-Man fans, but tying it so closely with his origin, I can&#8217;t really say I&#8217;m excited about it. I&#8217;ve always hated the retcons they&#8217;ve tried to do with Spider-Man&#8217;s origin, as if to imply that getting his spider-powers was preordained, which kind of ruins the simplicity of his origin, and the idea that ANYONE could have been Spider-Man. </p>
<p>In any event, check out the trailer in HD on <a href="http://trailers.apple.com/trailers/sony_pictures/theamazingspiderman/">Apple Trailers</a>.<br />

The Amazing Spider-Man</em> is out in theaters on July 3rd, 2012

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>Illustration By Cliff Chiang</em></p>
<p>The werewolves, vampires, and angsty adolescent superheroes that dominate our culture today all started with one man: Joss Whedon. So how come Whedon never became as famous as so much of the derivative trash he inspired? GQ talks with Whedon and those close to him to answer this very question, as well as ask an even greater one: Now that the The Avengers is about to be released, isn’t this the part of the story where the overlooked hero rises to meet his big moment?<span id="more-57839"></span></p>
<p>See below for highlights from GQ’s profile of Joss Whedon, entitled “The Geek Shall Inherit The Earth”, and read the full article NOW on GQ.com:<a href=" http://www.gq.com/entertainment/movies-and-tv/201205/joss-whedon-interview-avengers-buffy-firefly-dr-horrible-sing-along-blog"> http://www.gq.com/entertainment/movies-and-tv/201205/joss-whedon-interview-avengers-buffy-firefly-dr-horrible-sing-along-blog</a></p>
<p>    <strong>Joss Whedon on how past failures and cancellations inspire his work:</strong><br />
<em>    “That moment, where you stand up and say, ‘I have the right to exist.’ I’ve written a lot of times, and I never get tired of writing it. And if I could just believe it about myself, I think I could stop writing it.”</em></p>
<p>    <strong>…on why it took so long for somebody to let him make The Avengers:</strong><br />
<em>    “I always think of myself as, like, the most commercial guy. You look into my heart of darkness and, wow, it’s Star Wars peeking back at you. Yet everything I’ve done has been a hard sell for somebody running a studio.”</em></p>
<p>    <strong>…on bringing preexisting characters together in The Avengers:</strong><br />
<em>    “They’re a mash-up; they’re insane. But the beauty of that is as exciting as the problem of that is daunting.”</em></p>
<p>    <strong>…on once pitching a morbid Batman storyline that was rejected:</strong><br />
 <em>“…The executive was looking at me like I was Agent Smith made of numbers. He wasn’t seeing me at all. And I was driving back to work, and I was like, ‘Why did I do that? Why did I get so invested in that Batman story? How much more evidence do I need that the machine doesn’t care about my vision? And I got back to work and got a phone call that Firefly was cancelled. And I was like, ‘It was a rhetorical question! It was not actually a request! Come on!’”</em></p>
<p><em>The Avengers</em> opens in theaters this Friday, May 4th.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>At this moment, if you&#8217;re reading this, you&#8217;re only doing so because you&#8217;re simply trying to keep yourself occupied until you go and see <strong>The Avengers</strong>. Well, <strong>The Gateway</strong> is here to help.<span id="more-57828"></span></p>
<p><strong>Captain America. Thor. Iron Man. Black Widow. Hulk. Hawkeye. </strong></p>
<p><strong>The Avengers.</strong></p>
<p>Well, maybe not The Avengers most would have chosen but dammit, that&#8217;s a pretty impressive roster. That said, I&#8217;ve often said that wherever and whenever you got into something that was The Golden Age of that something. Now, if you&#8217;re a 90&#8242;s baby, there&#8217;s nothing better in cartoon history than Rugrats&#8230; or whatever. Yeah, whatever. Now&#8230; if you&#8217;re an 80&#8242;s baby, like me, well&#8230; everything we had was better than yours. <em>Transformers, G.I. Joe, Thundercats, Voltron, Masters of The Universe.</em> Now, can your <em>Mighty Morphin&#8217; Power Rangers</em> beat that? No? OK, you can go back to watching your My Little Pony cartoons. <em>(We&#8217;re laughing at you.)</em></p>
<p>Now, again, wherever you embraced something is the best time of anything, ever. I became a diehard Avengers fan during The 80&#8242;s when Captain America was stepping down as leader and he nominated a little known character named <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monica_Rambeau"><strong>Captain Marvel</strong></a> as team leader. On a team that already had Thor, She-Hulk and The Wasp, I watched as Cap, Marvel&#8217;s best judge of character, matter of fact, nominated a woman of color as team leader. No words were said about her ethnicity, no words were said about her gender. She simply was, in Cap&#8217;s eyes, the best person for the job. And everyone agreed.</p>
<p>Cap, the voice of America, spoke and his people listened.</p>
<p>Right then and there, I knew this was a special thing and I wanted in on it.</p>
<p>The incredible writing of Roger Stern and incredible artistry of John Buscema absolutely helped seal the deal.</p>
<p>To this day, if anyone asks me which Avengers I&#8217;d have on a team of my choosing, it would almost always have at least three members of that <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Avengers-Under-Siege-Roger-Stern/dp/0785143823">Stern/Buscema</a> team on it. That&#8217;s where I came in, after all.</p>
<p>That said, I find myself astounded that there&#8217;s no <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Panther_(comics)"><strong>Black Panther</strong> </a>on this Avengers movie roster.</p>
<p>OK, now before anyone starts thinking<em> &#8220;quota&#8221;</em>, I know Nick Fury is on this team and technically could be listed as an Avenger but if I wanted to anchor in another potential demographic, I certainly would have included Marvel&#8217;s most prominent Avenger of color.</p>
<p>That would simply be good business.</p>
<p>Just last week,<strong> &#8220;Think Like A Man&#8221;,</strong>  a movie featuring a predominantly black cast removed <strong>The Hunger Games</strong> from the number one spot that it held for month. Now, yes, maybe it was time for The Hunger Games to step down, but no other movie in a month&#8217;s time accomplished the task.</p>
<p>Why not try and grab some of that same audience using a character of color who&#8217;s also billionaire head of an empire? Sound familiar? Could you imagine <strong>T&#8217;Challa, The Black Panther</strong> making the perfect foil to Tony Stark&#8217;s already overinflated ego in any future Avengers or Iron Man movie? More importantly, The Avengers could have been a showcase for a potential Black Panther franchise.</p>
<p>Man, the potential storytelling possibilities&#8230;</p>
<p>It could still happen.</p>
<p>Potentially. Maybe.</p>
<p>Maybe, someday.</p>
<p>Just not now.</p>
<p><em>(sigh)</em></p>
<p>Now, The Scarlet Witch?!? Why isn&#8217;t she on the team&#8230;
