Don't forget that the magic utopia that represents the best of African culture still rules by monarchy decided via death matches. BP is a good movie, but that always felt sort of forced so they could have a plot contrivance for bad things to happen. Did you miss the whole part of the movie where they outright say that following tradition isn't exactly always a good thing? I mean that's the whole reason Killmonger was able to take over in the first place. I get that, but that didn't stop BP from both participating in it and reaping the benefits, and then agreeing to it again at the risk of the collapse of the entire kingdom because everyone else was like "shrugs those are the rules". At the end of the day, it's still a monarchy. Take out the combat, and now it's just one determined by bloodline rather than combat. I just don't understand why THAT particular tradition stuck around in this utopia society. --- "History Is Much Like An Endless Waltz.
