“Wakanda will no longer watch from the shadows. We cannot. We must not.” In the series premier of Once Upon a Time in Wakanda, we discuss the mythology of the utopian African country. Everyone wants to move to Wakanda. But is Wakanda really the paradise that we think it is? In this episode, we discuss.. Why does Tyler believe Black Panther is “the greatest blockbuster movie in modern American cinema”? Is Wakanda truly free from the effects of colonialism? Does Wakanda have a responsibility to other people in the black diaspora? How does Wakanda compare with other fictional paradises? We’d love to hear your thoughts on this episode and as always, Wakanda Forever!
