I think this is a great example of how well Erik manages to control the context of whatever scene he’s in. The first time he turns up in the palace, T’Challa tries to shut down his challenge to the throne by referring to him as an American chaos operative, but Erik turns it around on him by announcing his Wakandan name and heritage in xhosa, recontextualizing himself as a rightful Wakandan challenger.
Here T’Challa is taking him at his word, addressing him as a fellow Wakandan royal whom he can legitimately challenge for the throne, and Erik turns it around on him again by responding and identifying as an American chaos operative, who feels no obligation to respect Wakandan traditions.
Imagine just being a regular Wakandan during that 2 month period of Civil War and Black Panther
You just reading your Kimoyo bead feed every day like wtf?
Sent aid workers to Nigeria, they get killed in an explosion, your king killed in a terrorist attack, the prince becomes king, like a day or two later, some random outsider comes on, now HE’S king, then a day or two later there’s a big fight in the capital and then the old prince is king again? And then he reveals your nation to the world?
Like that’s not encouraging
on the Wakanda Wide Web message boards like “this never happened with T’Chaka, smh”
its funny how black panther was advertised as team iron man in the promos when t’challa was highkey only there to kick buckys ass he at most knew like two people by name on the entire team
