    Not really. Unlike the Marvel movies, Wakanda in the comics is not a perfect utopia and has a lot of its own prejudice.

    Well… To put it differently, unlike the movies, Wakanda’s prejudice isn’t depicted as a fine and perfectly acceptable utopia.

    Keep in mind, in the comics, Storm from The X-Men is Wakandan royalty. She should be queen. But she got exiled from her homeland at a rather young age for being a mutant.

    Nah, they’re morally grey/bad in Eyes of Wakanda. The point of the show is to explore how messed up their isolationism was. That’s why the last episode is about ||a time Traveller making sure that Killmonger spurs T’challa to finally end their isolationist policy so they don’t doom themselves and the world||.
