29. Celebrity deaths usually don't phase me much.

I don't know the people, and it's not like I'm going to miss seeing them at the family barbecue.

But this one is a gut punch. He was an enormously talented guy with a brilliant future ahead of him. I loved the Black Panther movie and was really looking forward to more in the franchise.

He was also metal AF. He was making those movies WHILE fighting colon cancer, and at only 43. That just absolutely sucks.

See you the other side, Mr. Boseman. Sorry that this awful shit seems to happen more often to great people like you and not the awful fuckheads who truly deserve it.
