Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

The tension of violent and peaceful activism is a history long one.
That knowledge and thought coming through is probably why Black Panther is, in my opinion, one of the best MCU films.
Unlike many Black activists however, the Wakandan Royal Family - like royalty in Africa - did not experience the bulk of racism in the Americas. Which might be why their step towards "coexistence" is to fund some community centres, which while important and having a powerful, Black, African nation would do a lot of psychic good - the racism in America isn't really shown and the focus is on Killmonger's dad being assassinated by T'Chala's father. (iirc.)
You're right in that it is more thoughtful overall, and less fit to this discussion, than most MCU films.
