The king and protector of Wakanda doesn’t speak with a European accent, and star Chadwick Boseman says the choice is very much deliberate.

Speaking to CNET, Boseman said his accent is based around the fact that in the Marvel universe, Wakanda has never been conquered.

“There’s no way he would speak with a European accent” without the influence of colonialism, he said.

Boseman said in the colonialist system, “in order to be a ruler, his education comes from Europe.” Since Wakanda is the most technologically advanced nation on Earth “without colonialism tainting it,” Boseman eschewed any accent that might betray that.

Everything plays out as you’d expect, until the end where things take a sharp turn into some cringe-worthy material, ultimately leaving things on a sour, awkward note.

Warning: this review doesn’t contain explicit spoilers but does cover general plot details.

This movie is essentially Ash’s Greatest Hits from Season 1 of the Pokemon animated series, only stuck in fast-forward. We see lots of pivotal moments like when Ash first earned Pikachu’s trust, Ash caring for an abandoned Pokemon, and Ash fully evolving a Pokemon only to send it on its way.
