 In which it is demonstrated that 'cultural appropriation' is just FINE!
As long as you're appropriating from, say, ancient Greece.
And you're getting warning about 'cultural appropriation and colonial racism' from effing idiots.

"But The Direct reports that instead of Atlantis, Black Panther sequel Wakanda Forever will establish that Namor actually is from the undersea civilization “Talocan,” which is amazingly similar to Tlālōcān — the Aztec “paradise for those who have died by drowning or lightning.”

Namor will be played by Mexican actor Tenoch Huerta and his outfit (and those of his people) resemble traditional Aztec/Mesoamerican garb (below). Huerta said the new Namor was “inspired by Mesoamerican cultures, and the people who were involved as advisors are regional Mexican scholars, Latin Americans — they call themselves Latinoamericanistas — and they made it possible.”

Yeah.  Possible to steal a storyline from ancient history, change it to suit, AND wipe out a whole line of Marvel.
