The accents in this are so bad it's ruining the show for me

This was solid! Episodes 1 & 3 really had the action and martial arts on point.

I really enjoyed the ancient historical setting and tying in the Battle of Adwa in Ethiopia - the only African country that was never colonized by Europeans - to the future of Wakanda was a nice touch.

There's a lot of great spinoff series that can be made from Wakandan lore. A series on some of the previous Black Panthers like Bashenga (the first BP) would be dope. I see the Black Panther lineage as similar to Avatar the Last Air Bender in that some of the previous mantle holders could make for really great stories.

As for the politics of Wakanda, I don't see the point in arguing over that. They are an isolationist nation and some writers in the comic books have shown them as (at times) being willing to secretly support anti-colonial resistance movements in Africa. But mostly they were .

I can generally enjoy my fantasy entertainment without politicizing it.
