    “You’re a good man with a good heart. And it’s hard for a good man to be king.” Our last episode of Season 1 is all about the King of Wakanda. From the moment he appeared on a panel, T’Challa has captured the fascination of comic book readers. With his powerful introduction to the moviegoing audience, T’Challa is now a household name. In this climactic discussion, we consider… How does T’Challa challenge his country’s traditions? Is T’Challa heroic or naive? In what ways do the fantasy of T’Challa mirror the reality of Obama? Are the expectations we place on our leaders fair or unrealistic? This concludes season one of Once Upon A Time in Wakanda. We’ve really enjoyed diving into a few of the Characters and Themes from The Black Panther and honestly this is just the beginning.
