    Default I'm New To Black Panther? Is This Accurate?

    I found this elsewhere on the internet. And while I understand the joke is putting a bipartisan spin on it; from what little I've read of BP he did try to keep Wakanda and it's people isolated from the rest of the world. He didn't allow other people that weren't Wakandas in either. And being a monarchy he certainly wasn't interested in democracy.

    With all the buzz around the new BP movie being a mostly minority film and a celebration of that; do you think this is the direction the film will take. BP doesn't seem anymore a ideal role model for his circumstances than excusing Magneto for his methods because of his circumstances.

    Did you look at any other sources for information regarding Black Panther?

    Maybe the Marvel website?

    I don't read BP, but I follow the gist of his character. That meme is mostly accurate and hysterical lol. In fact, the entire Inhumans line fit that meme to a T for nearly their entire publication history (save the past like 5 years).

    He's as alt-right as Wonder Woman, DC and Marvel Atlantis, comic book Inhumans, and comic book Asgard. Where are the memes about them?

    Good point. I read some on Wikipedia but I'll check it out thanks.

    Im sure there's a motive to it. I'd agree with you with Asgard. Never read enough of the other characters to make a valid statement.

    Some of that is arguably true about Wakanda in the past... but T'CHalla is actually a fairly progressive leader. His former fiancé and his former wife were both non-Wakandan, so he wasn't terribly isolationist. And despite being a part of a monarchy, he ended up allowing Democracy in Wakanda. He is in fact an agent of change. Or in the least he doesn't oppose it.

    Oh yeah he married Ororo in Preists run? I remember a cover of her and BP on the shelves when it came out.

    The picture is true with a negative slant. Outsider looking in would see all those things I guess but I'm a person where the "WHY" actually matters.

    Looking at Wakanda just based off the picture provided would be unfair. At least in my opinion.

    Definitely look at other sources. It's not as black and white as it looks in that meme.

    It's as true as statements lacking context or thoughts to long term applications can be.

    Which means it's all but lies.

    None of them are as overpraised by leftists as Black Panther's movie, not even Wonder Woman, that's why lol.

    The motive is, it's someone's feeble attempt at "irony". It's like when someone says isn't it funny that atheists don't believe in God, but they're just like a religion themselves. It shows a massive misunderstanding of who/what they're trying to spoof.

    The meme was obviously created by someone that is a BP fan and he is trolling people.
