I love the story. That said I am possibly the only person who saw the Hollywood depiction of Wakanda as demeaning to the African peoples. Supposedly a modern, highly educated and technologically sophisticated, Wakanda was shown as a hereditary monarchy that employed blood combat to choose its rulers. These are depressing stereotypes...why in the world could Wakanda not have been a liberal democracy without blatant stratification of wealth, without inherited class, with leadership that earned public support through policy and persuasion, not through inheritance?
