    I haven't bothered watching the second one, but I'm both unsurprised and flabbergasted that they couldn't come up with a better reason for Atlantis and Wakanda to throw down than the usual libfest of "killing people trying to colonize you is bad, actually :^)"

    Like, those two have fought on and off in the comics (and also against Latveria) for eons; make them fight over resources or tech that the rest of humanity can't even fathom or something.
