I heard much longer after the fact that Reginald Hudlin was no longer an executive at BET. I recently found this interview with Mr. Hudlin. I love it. He doesn't cover the reasons for his departure from BET but he does instead talk about the importance of Black Panther as a culture icon. The interview is from 2008 so it does not shed light on why the Black Panther Animated Series aired only in Australia and then released digitally. I've heard that it's been pulled from iTunes but I haven't checked that out myself. Something fishy is going on with how that show is being distributed.
When the series aired in Australia there were 6 weekly episodes - 20 minutes each. Sounds like they are cutting them in half and releasing them digitally. Well it's better than nothing. The series is truly awesome. If you have not seen it yet. Here is another opportunity.
Marvel Knights Animation is proud to announce BLACK PANTHER: WHO IS THE BLACK PANTHER?, a 12-episode, weekly, all-new series debuting on iTunes, Xbox LIVE, Microsoft Zune and PlayStation®Network on June 23rd.
