href=\"https:\/\/artofentertainment.com\/products\/thomas-kinkade-studios-limited-edition-canvas-battle-for-wakanda-sn\">the product description states<\/a>, this is supposed to represent the Battle of Wakanda, that I have no idea is actually sourced from, but my knee-jerk reaction was that this was just a hilariously bad imagining of the climactic fight from <em>Avengers: Infinity War<\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Because Thanos\u2019 forces weren\u2019t Skrulls, nor did they have the Hulk\/Wolverine Hulkerine abomination in their ranks, and I didn\u2019t know why one of the troglodytes had Loki horns and was carrying Stormbreaker.\u00a0 Nor was Storm involved in the battle, much less any mutants at all because phase one of the MCU most definitely didn\u2019t have any of the M-words anywhere, at least in name.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">But in all fairness, the product description actually discloses that it\u2019s some other battle of Wakanda, and discloses the Skrulls by name, so it really isn\u2019t just a tragically terrible imagining of the Infinity War battle, as much as I would have loved for it to have been.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">All the same, it\u2019s still terrible in its own right, and there\u2019s a legendary degree of shark-jumping and DJ Tanner wrestling in play here with Disney actually allowed for the vaunted Marvel comics to do a collaboration with Thomas Kinkade, which is best known for the overly fluffy artwork of horses, cottages and forest fantasy scenes on plates and forgettable artwork hanging at your white grandma\u2019s house.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">And all the same, it\u2019s fairly clear that whomever did paint this horrendous piece probably doesn\u2019t know Marvel comics at all. \u00a0I know there were other super Skrulls that emerged throughout the years, but most all comic followers usually are aware of the OG Super Skrull and that his additional powers were only that of the four members of the Fantastic Four.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">I just love how there\u2019s the primary focal point of the Skrull army being some nondescript super Skrull who is as big as the Hulk, has one flaming arm of Human Torch, and is sprouting Wolverine claws out of the other.\u00a0 And then you have the other hulking Skrull in the background carrying <em>two<\/em> Asgardian weapons, leading one to believe that if these are the bad guys, how are they worthy to be holding two Asgardian weapons?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">And then there\u2019s the weird golem in the background that looks like a cross between Mach I Iron Man and Juggernaut, but for some reason he has Thing\u2019s arm.\u00a0 Furthermore, none of the Skrulls have the multiple cleft chins that they\u2019re pretty known for physically.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">But what I like about this piece is that due to the multiple points of focus, and the strange right-to-left directionality of the conflict, and to those who might actually not follow comics and were to look at this, it really is kind of ambiguous to whom the artist of this piece had envisioned the bad guys to be.\u00a0 For all the casual viewers would know, the Skrulls are the ones defending their land and their futuristic looking city in the background from an army of invading black people, and not vice versa.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Considering the general demographic of Thomas Kinkade\u2019s usual consumer base, this was either done intentionally, or completely unconsciously by the artist.\u00a0 Neither of which is good, but at least it\u2019s something for comic fans to all collectively point and laugh at.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><em>Starting at<\/em> $950, the fuck out of
