      How does Wakandan justice interface with international law, what obligations does Wakanda have to the rest of the world vs. the rest of the world to Wakanda That's, you know, his whole thing

      The Flag-Smashers aren't any direct threat to Wakanda in the military sense sure but their whole "One world, one people!" ideology cuts to the heart of what Black Panther was supposed to be about doesn't it

      Black Panther and Wakanda being siloed off into their own thing is a big problem overall I mean, they say a bunch of times T'Chaka was just collateral damage for Zemo, he had no quarrel with the man But that shouldn't be true because T'Chaka actually was everything he hates

      (He probably didn't know that at the time but he clearly knows now) The Black Panther is *worse* than Captain America from Zemo's POV He's an actual literal monarch, a demi-god, a hero-king

      They select someone worthier than any common citizen, then they make them EXTRA-worthy by pouring magic in their blood The Black Panther is given the right not only to decide who lives or dies with his superhuman prowess, but the actual right to sit on the throne and rule

      Someone whose whole shtick is hating The Superman the way Zemo does must, surely, have some kind of opinion about this

      Like, on the one hand, the history of Wakanda and the fact that their system worked and the Black Panther ruled their land in peace and harmony for countless generations is a HUGE counterargument to Zemo's whole philosophy

      Zemo thinks there could only be one decent Captain America because there was only one Steve Rogers? Well they've had like five hundred Black Panthers

      Whereas on the other hand... the "Killmonger Incident", which rocked the Wakandan system to the core, is a very vivid, gruesome and effective argument in favor of Zemo's whole point Maybe the heart-shaped herb being part of this whole system was always a bad idea

      (Yes, I know that the super-soldier serum isn't technically the same thing as the heart-shaped herb But saying that Zemo's whole argument specifically applies only to the weaknesses of Erskine's formula is the kind of tedious argument that people make fun of comic books for)

          (FYI Ryan Coogler doesn't care that much about this distinction and in the commentary for Black Panther freely refers to T'Challa's powers as making him a "super-soldier")

          But then you could make this point in general about the MCU being "one continuity" being problematic and how movies don't talk about other movies as much as they logically should Isn't the Hulk a way, way, WAY more salient argument about the dangers of superhumans than Karli

          Hell it should be the only thing anyone talks about AT ALL with this argument It's the big green elephant in the room "Yeah Bruce Banner injected himself because everyone thought he was this gentle softboi nerd Now the city of Lagos is a pile of rubble"

          (The fact that the rejoinder to this argument is "Well just don't use the gamma rays, then, stupid! It was the gamma rays that were the problem!" is why comic books are dumb and people who care about them, like myself, are dumb)

          FWIW I'd mainly question this thesis not based on the formula itself, but on who gets to use it. Zemo's issue with super soldiers may be centered more on disproportionate warfare than on egalitarianism. He is, after all, a baron.

          I have no idea what they are doing with Zemo, TBH. His motives in Civil War were quite clear, but this character is extremely murky, and they've walked him so far away from the Zemo of the comics I've lost my bearings entirely.

          I also think the super soldier serum, as used in Falcon & Winter soldier, demonstrates that it’s certainly possible for Wakanda, with all its resources, to reproduce the heart-shaped herb (at least its abilities).
