Black Panther: Wakanda Forever (2022)

The film's central conflict is anchored in a strong critique of Western neo-colonialism and resource exploitation, portraying powerful nations as antagonists seeking to exploit the resources of non-Western countries, thus aligning its dominant themes with progressive values.

The film is built around a predominantly non-white cast, featuring Black and Indigenous characters and cultures. Its narrative prominently addresses themes of colonialism and resource exploitation by global powers, positioning these as central to the conflict.

The film includes a subtle same-sex relationship between Dora Milaje members Ayo and Aneka. While present, their identity is incidental to the plot and their character development. The portrayal avoids negative stereotypes or significant struggle, presenting their relationship as a neutral background element without strong arcs of either empowerment or suffering.

The film features Okoye, a member of the Dora Milaje, who repeatedly engages in and wins close-quarters physical fights against multiple male opponents using her martial arts skills and a melee weapon.
