Am I the only person who thought the giant forcefield protecting Wakanda being activated/deactivated by a tribal drumming routine a bit iffy? To me that would be like MI6 Q labs being unlocked by a Morris dancer troop.

I’m still mad they kept the weird “We pick kings through ritual combat” angle

Which, you know, making the technologically advanced nation governmentally regressive is still really racist

Liberals have no understanding of the coupling between productive forces and social organization.

Let’s be honest, if they didn’t do that they would’ve made the African king picked through a western-style bourgeois liberal democracy, which would’ve been worse lol

It was created by a white person for a white audience as he imagined black americans would like to be seen.

Thats why wakanda is more like black americans cosplaying as native africans and they somehow speak xhosa near the great lakes of africa lol

Sure but at least it was pretty niche before that, Black Panther wasn’t really Spider-man or the X-men and US comic book sales had been slowly dropping over time.

Now I have to see some Zionist racist compare Liberia to Wakanda

Yes, but sometimes a joke is funnier if it doesn’t make sense

Even wypipo would ideally know better than to have “the world’s friendliest CIA agent” among the supporting cast of heroes in the movie. Or so I’d like to think… though then again, “CIA killing/torturing/drugging Anglo wypipo = bad, CIA killing/torturing/drugging anyone else = good” probably is the logic
