Go to 8:13. Marvel is such a part of pop culture now they come up in a discussion on the NBA. "I don't have that power. I've seen a couple super hero movies...shout out to Marvel"

Black Panther has also seen its way on the NBA court, like Indiana Pacers star Victor Oladipo wearing a Black Panther mask in the dunk contest.

I've seen a couple super hero movies...shout out to Marvel" So MCU is just starting to get referenced by the NBA now? DC has been referenced by the NBA and NFL and MLB and WWE for many years. |

Due to merely being around longer, rather than actual merit. |

That may be true. You can of course provide links to prove it. But it was interesting that he said "super hero movies" and that meant "Marvel" to him. So what happened in the past is not the same as what is happening today for him at least. |

Good point, being mentioned by athletes is way more important than critical success or box office numbers. |

It was the OP that suggested MCU finally reached the top because they're now getting referenced by the NBA. I'm just pointing out that DC has been referenced by the NBA, NFL, MLB, and WWE for many years. |

How many athletes have played 'the cat game' during an interview? No one thinks Super Troopers is some kind of cultural phenomenon. |

Dwight Howard - Slam dunk contest 2008 Cam Newton is Superman as He Flips into the End Zone Roman Reigns Top 10 Superman Punch Like I said, you can of course provide links to show how it used to be. I never said that didn't exist if that is your implication there. Just like how we know that DC ruled the comic book world prior to the 60s. But Marvel showed up in the 60s and changed the game whereupon DC was forced to copy Marvel's style. So now we live in a world where a person can say "shout out to Marvel" as a reference to "super hero movies" and the audience knows what they are talking about. Notice even in the "good old days" ....no one said anything about DC in those videos? |
