I genuinely feel this is something M’Baku would be aware of and concerned about. He’s just that dude. Pranks, but not the triggering kind, keep it cool.
fun fact M’baku mentions that the Jabari tribe worship Hanuman, the Hindu god. The monkey link is obviously there, but it’s also a nice shout-out to the strong Indo-East African cultural transference that has taken place for centuries, and shows that despite the insular nature of Wakanda specifically, Indian customs and traditions and religion have still found their way in. The Jabari’s vegetarianism is also likely influenced by Indian/Hindu tradition. My Indian dad, who was born and raised in Kenya and has Swahili woven into the Punjabi he passed down to us, loved the film. Wakanda forever!!
As an Indian, I feel so cheated now. If not for Tumblr I wouldn’t have known about this. This is so damn interesting and cool! Cultural exchanges between India and Wakanda. YASSS
