Yeah, that's right. For all the 'black power' excitement about this film, it is largely set in, and has a plot concerning, a fictional country in Africa, that is pretty much what Donald Trump campaigned to make America. Wakanda is technologically advanced, prosperous & wealthy. They got that way by exploiting their own natural resources and developing their own industry and infrastructure, and keeping those things to themselves. The Wakandan military does not go abroad seeking monsters to destroy, they don't invade other countries, or get involved in nation-building adventures, and they have a high-tech border security system that keeps everyone else out. They do not admit immigrants or refugees, and they absolutely do not import cheap foreign goods at the expense of their domestic industries or outsource manufacturing and tech jobs to cheap foreign labor. They respect their founding traditions, and the dominant religion, though brought to their homeland from the older civilization whence it originated, is still an important spiritual guide in public policy. And as Trump's political enemies would also claim is a key attraction, it's extremely racially homogeneous.

What's more, the political bad guys, who threaten the position of the eponymous ruler of the country, are the ones who WANT to launch crusades to right injustices and crush the first world to elevate the minority populations! These are the guys Black Panther & his allies have to defeat.

As a movie, it's a pretty good one. The plot is about 50% Thor:Ragnarok, allowing for differences in the characters. There is some SJW bullshit, but it's gender-driven, not racial at all. In fact, there really isn't anything "black" about this movie, aside from the skin color of most of the actors. There're some backhanded digs at the USA, but nothing preachy or obnoxious, and there's stuff people on both ends of the political spectrum can appreciate.

Chadwick Boseman (is it me, or is it ironic that for someone who plays so many black icons, his natural nickname is "Chad", the whitest name of them all? ) is playing the same guy we saw in Captain America: Civil War, but he's much more sympathetic, not being an antagonist to the obvious & inarguable good guys. He's also more easy-going among his friends and family, which contributes to that. Danai Guerra Michonne, from "The Walking Dead", plays Okoye, the head of the Wakandan royal guard or army, Angela Bassett is T'challa's mother, and probably didn't need to be in the film, except they seemed bound and determined to load up on as much estrogen as possible. Lupita Nyongo is similiarly superfluous as Nikea, T'Challa's ex-girlfriend, a covert operative, who is a slightly more reasonable voice in the Wakandan interventionist party. Andy Serkis & Martin Freeman reprise their roles as Ulysses Claw & CIA agent Ross, from Avengers 2 & Captain America 3, respectively, and even have an interrogation scene together, which is a little disappointing in a strictly meta-textual sense. They talk very frankly, with few riddles and the scene is brightly lit, not at all 'in the dark', if you get my drift. Forest Whitaker is the Rafiki to T'challa's Simba, leading one to suspect that lazy eye is the one condition Wakandan science can't cure (see also, T'challa's father, whom I will call Mufasa, because it fits WAY too close, and I can't remember his real name). Michael B Jordin, who is apparently necessary to anything Ryan Coogler directs, plays one of Claw's henchmen, with an interest in Wakanda in his own right.

One annoyance is the language issue. Almost all of these actors I have seen in other movies, using perfectly normal American accents, but the film insists on having them all speaking with heavy African accents, which often renders dialogue difficult to follow. What's more confusing is that among themselves, the Wakandans speak in African-accented English, just as they do when speaking to American outsiders, but when talking privately to one another in the presence of outsiders, they start yammering in Made-upe'Talka, with subtitles for those in the audience who only speak real languages. So sometimes Wakandan is another language that needs subtitles, and other times it is English, which is indistinguishable from how they actually speak English. I don't know why they just don't do what was done in "Coming to America" where the African royals spoke in precise grammatical English to represent conversations in their native tongue, and heavily accented English to represent their characters' less-fluent English. Then we could understand a lot more dialogue.

The action is pretty good, not Russo-brothers-good, and there are some ridiculous elements to the fighting, but not too distracting. And archaic ceremonial bullshit is no less tolerable when it is made up for a fake African nation, than when it is real stuff on "The Crown."

I would rank it below Dr. Strange, the Avengers movies & the last three Captain America/Thor movies. Maybe even with Iron Man or the funny ones, and ahead of the later Iron Man & early Cap/Thor. It's also more of a group-effort movie than most of the solo movies - Black Panther actually drops out of the movie for a bit and doesn't even do anything off-screen, while other characters are driving the plot.

Spoilers
As I mentioned above, there is definitely the current requisite SJW nonsense, but only the most nitpicky anti-SJWs would have a problem with the racial stuff. They might be technically right about certain things in the movie that would be called racist if you reversed the colors...but the problem with SJWs is that those sorts of thing are not really racist, or worth making a fuss over. In other words, it's not actually wrong to refer to black men as "black boys" so it is also not wrong for Black Panther's horrifically obnoxious little sister to refer to "white boys" in the same fashion. Basically, the only arguments against the black agenda in this movie are tu quoque.

The actual annoyance, which I should have expected from the marketing, but did not, was the intrusive feminism. There are like, three Wakandan male warriors with speaking roles, and all of them are Wrong at some point or other in the movie. Meanwhile, the only formal military unit in Wakanda seems to be a sort of bodyguard of bald women with spears. They are comic-book spears, of course, so you can't really mock their choice of weaponry, but they get to be all badass and principled, and their leader talks smack to the Black Panther and is condescending about his abilities. Only their hairdos distinguish her from Nikea, the love interest, who is also a super awesome badass fighter chick, who talks down to T'challa.

There is also Shuri. Shuri is T'challa's sister, and the tech-nerd character who makes all his equipment, except she's really young and immature, because that's the kind of person who is an expert in multiple technological fields and scientific disciplines. Because women in STEM fields is FAR more important to the progressive agenda than a competent proud black male hero who is not a butt of jokes, this little snot pretty much takes over a lot of the film, which leans heavily into the concept that Black Panther is his suit and his drugs, and she's entirely responsible for the former. In addition to having her dominate the scene where its features are demonstrated, while T'challa is passive & an object of mockery, she is also the inventor of a transport technology with Chekovian anti-Vibranium features, which are fired in the climatic fight scene. Her main character trait is snarking off at men & authority, because her magic technology is always perfect and always just what is needed.

Honestly, I would have renamed the character Black Lion and the movie Black Pride, because the focus of the filmmakers is not building up the Black Panther into a peer of Iron Man & Captain America, but on this team of Wakandan badasses, of which he is a single member. Really, the guy who goes toe to toe with Captain America and the Winter Soldier would slap the future self we see in "Black Panther" silly, improved suit and all.

Finally, as I mentioned above, there is an argument going on among the Wakandan ruling elite (I note that this awesome African nation is really only interested in the political input of as few Africans as possible; seriously, has no one thought about the implications of a black utopia which is ruled by an absolute monarch, who can only be checked by formal hand-to-hand combat with members of the aristocracy? ) between interventionism & isolationism, the latter of which is working just well for Wakanda as it has always done for rising world powers, but with two different interventionist factions, one of whom turns out to be the ultimate villains, and want to conquer & liberate oppressed black populations, and the other of which wants to share their skills and technology with the rest of the world. It is this last faction which wins out slightly in the end...except they are still not taking in refugees or immigrants, and this being a part of the MCU, we know that their sharing isn't going very far, since it would break the setting to suddenly have Wakandan technology jumping the world ahead.
