I guess I have to watch a marvel movie now
France mad at accurate depiction of its country
It be sick if there was a black panther movie that was just a Wakandan general trying to do a coup or color revolution. Like, it’s flying gunboats and forcefields and lasers intercut with the most boring paint dying on the wall scenes of M’Baku of the Jabari tribe talking with French economists about integrating the CFA Franc into the Wakandan economy. The Super villain is Charles Schwab talking about making Wakandans into “stakeholders” in the global economy, and funding Wakandan youtube channels that ask “why do we have a king, again?”
Let them fight

Don’t. It pits two Indigenous communities against each other while glossing over the fact that the side who is afraid of the western world was legitimized by the scene being discussed and some of the others that followed.
Lemme guess - the evil indigenous king wants to destroy their oppressors while Black Panther wants to work with them
X = The State is literally being the bad guy but because the Characters critiquing The State use violence the audience doesn’t need to be concerned with it.
It’s actually rather interesting because

the “good” cia guy is now on the run and the US gov was very open about wanting to coup Wakanda, as well as the cia director associating with the “bad” Captain America wannabe. So the US is kinda being setup as a bad guy, but it’s almost certainly going to lead to a “bad actors” plot point like with Hydra in SHIELD. Probably shape-shifting aliens or something.
The USAF glowy space lady jesus one was before the big endgame offramp so I saw it.
Yes. They introduced shape shifting aliens in that one. You can’t even make a joke about this series.
also maybe a plotline about shape shifting green aliens secretly running the government in the middle of an antisemitic revival is not a responsible narrative to promote.
Like How Shakespeare made that play about witches to be performed for the king who had thousands of people tortured to death on suspicion of witchcraft
