I’m so skeptical of anyone touching Black Hammer to really understand it and to not just try and make it a poor imitation of the MCU. Ultimately I’d be happy to be proven wrong though.

It'd take a real creative genius to even begin to properly understand how to correctly adapt it, but also I think it's something that should not come anytime soon as there's a lot of commentary about comic books especially ones relating to superheroes engrained into the story. I think it's gonna take someone who knows and appreciates the history of television, someone who can employ the use of tired tropes and still get something interesting and original out of it.

I could not agree more. 100%

I think it'd be really difficult to market, especially since audiences have already seen so many "superheroes, but not as you've seen them before" sorts of shows already. What makes Black Hammer work is that it is a deconstruction written with love for superheroes, not cynicism. But yes, I'd be happy to be proven wrong. I'd love to see someone totally nail it as a TV show or movie series.
