Erik the Dog

Marvel has created an extensive cinematic universe and has spent the past ten years crafting this universe to their liking. They have done very well and we all love a good Marvel movie. This is not to say that their movies are flawless. For example, their biggest flaws are their forgettable villains. There are several movies, and we can name most of the heroes, but can you name all the villains in the MCU? Chances are, you have forgotten about most of them. Sure, there is some stand out villains like Ultron. But there are also brilliant villains like Loki. We cannot forget Loki. Black Panther hit a home-run with their main villain, Erik Killmonger.

He was a nuanced villain who was equally scary and memorable. He posed a legitimate threat, and to be fair, he had good points that not even the hero could argue against. Yes, he did turn things upside down and set fire to valuable artifacts, he also killed people. A lot of people. He was not a good guy. But, under different circumstances, he could have been. That is what makes his character stand out. Not only did Michael B. Jordan portray him to perfection, but the character was extremely well written.

You could not help but sympathize with the character when he revealed who he was to the Wakandan council. There were a few times when you almost agreed with what he was saying, and in the end, we all wish he could have gotten a redemption arc. But when he uttered his astounding last words, you realize that redemption was not on the horizon. It was a brilliant portrayal that will turn him into one of Marvel's most memorable villains. The thing about Erik Killmonger was that he fought his way to the top and did not stop until he got where he needed to be.

An Australian native, Joel Salom, and comedian by trade can relate to this struggle. He started at the bottom of the comedic circuit but achieved fame with his creation, Erik the Dog. Erik is an electronic robot with a memorable personality. You could almost see your own dog mirrored in Erik's routines. Sure, he isn't after the Wakandan throne, but he has managed to win over thousands of hearts. And the best part is that he won't blow things up, or stage a coup, to be remembered by the world.

Black Panther Inspired Dog Name Considerations

The Black Panther, or King T'Challa to his people, is a unique character. As with most heroes, his sense of moral duty points toward the good. But his mantle as the Black Panther is one of protection and inspiration. For generations, the kings of Wakanda would take on the role to protect their prosperous country. His turn as the powerful hero is not performed out of mere duty though. He loves his country and is one of the first kings to take his powers to the outside world and use them to benefit the whole world. He aims to take Wakanda out of the shadows and use their advanced technology for good.

This has made him a few enemies within his own realm and without as well. People generally dislike change, and what Wakanda brings to the table is a source of jealousy and contention. Although the stories differ between the movie and the comics, T'Challa's character remains largely unchanged, many other characters underwent major overhauls. The names in this guide were taken from both the comics, the source of all these wonderful characters, and the movie. If you have a pup that has a protective or heroic personality, a Black Panther tag would be just the fit. It's time to introduce your dog to the world of Wakanda, they deserve it.
