Hot Like Fire
I happened to see a fantastic sports graphic design of Gonzaga’s Jalen Suggs by Hoops, and I loved the composition and colors so much I tried to re-create it for my fictional basketball player:
Congrats to Baylor (mens basketball) and Stanford (womens) for their NCAA title wins this year.

Black Panther II – What about Azari?
If ever an actor embodied a role, it was the late great Chadwick Boseman as T’Challa in Black Panther.
Chadwick was also excellent portraying James Brown. I must also mention Nelsan Ellis, who died at the the young age of 39. Nelsan portrayed Bobby Byrd to Chadwick’s James Brown in the film Get On Up.
Chadwick’s stellar acting as Jackie Robinson in the film 42 deserves mention as well. Sadly, Chadwick’s life was cut short by cancer, a disease that claimed my mom a few years ago. Marvel announced that the role would not be recast for Black Panther II, which is a fitting tribute to Chadwick’s legacy.
So, how can Marvel honor Chadwick and continue T’Challa’s story? Well, how about introducing his son Azari, the child T’Challa had with his ex-wife Storm?

The Graphic Novel Treatment
First thing – The Boys are back! This is a scifi anti-Superhero show on Amazon Prime Video featuring three of my favorite actors, Karl Urban, Laz Alonzo and Giancarlo Giuseppe Alessandro Esposito
Here’s the original:
The Boys are based on a popular graphic novel of the same name.
Since I create ebook promos, I decided to give my trio of witches Lilith, Ondine and Pagan the graphic novel treatment. Here’s a sneak peek at Pagan’s comix:

Meteor Garden/Boys Over Flowers
Dao Ming Si, Hua Ze Lei (just Lei in the series) Xi Men, and Mei Zuo are the four leading males in the 2001 Taiwanese Meteor Garden and 2018 Chinese remake of Meteor Garden.
The main female lead is named Shan Cai.
“Meteor Garden is the classic love story; rich boy (Dao Ming Si) falls for poor girl (Shan Cai) and obstacles ensue.” -IMDB description
Each version is based on the blockbuster manga BOYS OVER FLOWERS by Yoko Kamio
I watched the 2018 version first, then the South Korean version titled Kkotboda namja (2009) “Boys Over Flowers.” Loved Min-Ho Lee as the rich thug Joon Pyo who falls for the poor student named Jan Di. His hairdo reminded me of the late, great Prince:
Leading lady Hye-Sun Ku portrayed Jan-Di, the “Shan Cai” of the Korean version.
Haven’t seen the Japanese version yet, but I hope to view it soon.
I thought the 2018 remake was good, as there were some much needed updates done on the story.
Then I saw the 2001 version with Jerry Yan, Vic Chou, Vanness Wu, Barbie Hsu and Ken Zhu, via You Tube.
Until I view the Japanese version, Barbie Hsu is the best Shan Cai imho. There’s bullying and violence, gaslighting, in short no matter which version please don’t let kids or teens watch without adult guidance.
The 2001 version is my favorite. One of the reasons is below:
Back in 2001 the Taiwan version at least included a black woman with the “player” of the group, Xi Men. She didn’t have any lines, and her screen time was brief, but still . . .
NetFlix has Meteor Garden 2018 and Boys Over Flowers 2009, while YouTube has Meteor Garden 2001. All versions have English subtitles.
