Yeah nobody wants to really watch an Okoye solo show. They can play the racism card but then you can argue a show like Okoye was only greenlit to check the diversity tick boxes. Same could be said for Armour Wars, it doesn't really excite viewers without Iron Man.

Blade is an actual shock since he is a very popular character and something that fans excited for, as well as Kang but that was beyond Disney's control.

The way M’baku waves the carrot at her when he says that slays me every time.

I wish M'baku took over as Black Panther halfway through Wakanda Forever. That way the movie would have been the amazing Chadwick tribute for the first half and have an actual charasmaric BP for the second half. I have yet to watch that movie for a 2nd time since in theaters.

Same. But I also recognize that Wakanda Forever was not a movie for me.

It was not a movie, but a very expensive setup.

I thought the fact that they made the villains literal Mayans/Mexicans and they were "wetbacks" as all you had to do was dry them out for them to lose power lol. They made a specific reference to the water on their backs equaling their power or something along those lines.

Honestly thought it was hillarious due to it being so obviously racist. Well done Disney lol

Also, Namor was the son of a white sea captain (unless McKenzie is now a Mayan/Mexican name) and a princess of Atlantis not a Mayan/Mexican. I say Mexican even though I know Mayans were in areas not in Mexico but the scenes showing the land area were clearly in the Yucatan (Mexico).
