Strengths

• ✓ The portrayal of Wakanda challenges post-colonial tropes by presenting a technologically sovereign African nation.
• ✓ Female characters like Okoye and Scarlet Witch hold high-agency, leadership roles without falling into damsel tropes.
• ✓ The film moves away from a homogeneous Western-centric perspective through a diverse, intergalactic ensemble.

Areas for Improvement

• ○ The narrative lacks visible LGBTQ+ characters or storylines that explore non-heteronormative identities.
• ○ There is no intentional focus on neurodivergence, chronic illness, or visible disabilities as character identities.
• ○ The focus on superhuman abilities often overshadows the potential for representing diverse physical or mental experiences.
