that line from Okoye in Infinity War

holy fuuuuck i want to see M’Baku’s reaction to Wakanda taking part in the Olympics

he would hit. the. fucking. roof. t’challa would start hiding out in shuri’s lab because otherwise M’Baku would be lying in wait for him around every corner, ready to loom over him and bellow about the shame of it, the shame of participating in this disgraceful Western farce run by corrupt bureaucrats and denigrated by colonial governments who force their athletes to cheat, this abomination that achieves naught but squandered resources and the enrichment of the few at the expense of the many.

then when t’challa says that, ‘well, fine, I understand and respect your feelings brother, perhaps the Jabari could stage an act of peaceful protest by refusing to participate? :)’

and fucking smoke issues forth from M’Baku’s nostrils and his eyes turn blood-red and he roars at the top of his lungs that how dare T’Challa try to humiliate his people by suggesting that they not be counted among the top sportsmen in the world, there will be recompense for this insult!!!!!!!

and then he storms off and tells his best warriors to start training right the fuck now before he has them all flayed, and a few months later the Jabari have won gold medals in every event

‘pah. these trinkets mean nothing,’ says M’Baku, wearing seventeen of them

Ok but consider: Nakia wreaking absolute havoc on the Olympic Committee in a series of devastating board meetings and equally devastating outfits

What? You’re used to having indentured servants build the arenas because they have to work off their citizenship sponsorship? That’s cool, Wakanda will sponsor visas for literally all of them right now so we can pay them a fair wage and they can work for the civil service after the games. Oh we need to talk about the supposed ~issue~ of trans athletes? Don’t worry, Wakanda drafted legislation protecting trans and two-spirit people centuries ago, just sign here :)) sweetie :))) Yes Thank you we’ll take the IOC’s money the exit is this way

And you better believe they would not let those announcements happen in French. Like. I mean maybe Nakia would be nice about it to their faces but there’s no WAY they’re gonna make anyone listen to that colonizer language, so Shuri is in charge of tech for the games and OOPS something goes wrong with the microphones so that any French is automatically translated into Wakandan, sorry Mr President what a silly mistake I can’t i m a g i n e how that happened

Meanwhile the Dora Milaje have all won at least two medals each, except Okoye, who is nominally on guard duty with T’Challa but is actually watching Wakanda kick the world’s ass from the best seats in the stadium and cackling
