We all know Sango as the God of Fire, Lightning and Thunder
in Yoruba mythology. He is also one of the most popular Orishas known to
Yorubas. Even so much that he is represented in DC comics as a member of Orisha
Pantheon!!
But seriously why would our own Sango be less represented
that the likes of Zeus of Greek Mythology or Thor of Norse mythology. Lets face
it- when I comes to powers, these 3 probably shared spoons as babies.
Zeus has transited from folklore to comics to cartoons to
video games to the silver screen and beyond… more than once. He has been
re-incarnated again and again and still remains a cool (but cruel) god of
Olympus with a wicked lightning bolt.
Same goes for Thor who has from the onset manifested in comics
and cartoons before jumping to the big screen in the form of Liam Hemsworth. As
we all know The Avengers is now #3 on the All Time Grossers list.
You’ll say “but we have a Sango movie by Wale Adebayo”.
Well, yeah. But lets not go there. That was meant to end up in a historian’s
DVD archive library. And with 2face calling Sango an alien on The Monique
show…who knows?
