Wakanda
Wakanda may be the most advanced culture in comic books. It has technology that people all over the globe drool over. Not just weapons either. Wakanda mapped out the stars and the human body long before anywhere else in the world did. Kids grow up confident because the school system encourages free thought. This leads to more advances for Wakanda. A country that has never been colonized and only asks for the help of super people they can trust. There’s also the advanced culture that they’ve looked at women as equal forever. Nor do they bat an eye at two people of the same sex being in love. Wakanda is ahead of their time when it comes to all aspects of life. Because of this, they end up being attacked by people from all over the world.
Next. Dark Phoenix missed a golden opportunity, and the movie suffered for it. dark
Governments around the globe have tried their best to take over Wakanda. Dr. Doom came close, but was bested in the end. The American Government masked their attack as an attempt rescue even though. However, they sent villains to topple the country. Even the Skrulls took their shot. It ended with a spaceship full of dead Skrulls with a message written in blood that said, “This is what happens when you invade Wakanda.” While people may try and come for the throne, they always get sent back with their tails between their legs.
