Making Submariner & crew Meso-american was an ingenious move

Black Panther is to Africans what Namir is the Meso-Americans, which Aztecs, Incas, and Mayans.
It makes sense that these characters would be Meso-American which retcons the disappearance of these histories due to conquests, colonialism, and assimilation, as, they lived secretly underwater and evolved and thrived from there. Genius.
Namor was wearing a serpent headgear which is based on Kulkukan, a serpent god the Mayans would worship. It can also be drawn from Katari and Amaroca, the double-headed serpent god of the Incas.
Namora was wearing is based on the feathered headdresses that Aztecs wore.
The town is called Talokan; this is obvious reference to Tlukakan which is a Aztec paradise.
The fight at the end between Panther and Submariner reflected the Spanish conquest of the Aztecs by Hernandaz Cortés, even using the similar spheres. Scenes with the ship in Wakanda sparked similarities of Pizzaro's takover of the Incas in the Andes.
INCREDIBLE diversity in this film! I wonder if before deciding on Wakanda Forever, it was called The Blacks vs. The Mexicans? Idk
This movie was so Black & Mexican that I had to check to see if I still had my wallet on me before I left the cinema.

It's anti-racist. It's satirising the racist trope that Mexicans and Blacks steal. That's what makes it funny. That's why racial jokes by Louis CK, Key and Peele, Chappelle etc. are funny.

This and the previous film are very interesting. They represent the black folks' wet dream of having advanced technology, which they never possessed. If they had possessed it, they probably never would have been enslaved by the white folks.
MAGA! FAFO!

This is like Republican satire.
Except you meant it.
Republicans always try to argue they're
not
racist by claiming they don't think like this!

And speaking of racist, you're the one who made the crack about having to check your wallet as you left the cinema because the film was black and Mexican.

Do you doubt the validity of the theory? Do you really think that if the Europeans had been met with rifles, cannon, and other advanced technology, that they would have been able to take Africans as slaves?
