"It's racism and a dash of colonialism. Wakanda's existence, unlike Hogwarts or Middle-Earth, asks the benefactors of colonialism to acknowledge what has been sacrificed or destroyed to make their lives possible."
What’s wrong with that statement? Completely accurate.
Is not inaccurate but the movie also paints Wakanda to be in the wrong in ignoring the rest of the world.
Seriously though, what specifically is inaccurate about that statement?
Like usual a Reee thread involves quite a number of low IQ posters and posts, but I guess I don't really find any fault with that statement specifically?
The history of Africa is largely one of tipping points of history tilting the other way followed up by an extended legacy of deep colonialism and external subjugation/influence. For Wakanda to work in the way the series uses it as part of the modern world, you kind of have to run into these facts.
Outside of that, like etiolate is asserting, there is no basis to conclude that a highly advanced nation like Wakanda couldn't of emerged, other than the obvious fact that magical materials that fuel their economy don't exist and this is a pop culture franchise. We just don't know what life would be like across Africa had those factors tilted the other way or if colonialism never made a run at the entire continent afterwards. To say definitively a highly advanced nation couldn't of emerged is ridiculous though, especially since relative to their time period before those numerous events, or leading up to them, Africa did have nations similarly advanced to their European and Asian counter parts at that given period of history.

This also feels like the same exact arguments people were having less than a month ago in the last thread
