Dahomey...isn’t that near Wakanda, ancestral home of the Dindu Nuffin tribe?

That would depend on whether the movie is at least semi-honest, which is a possibility. The trailer may be misleading. I would be surprised if there wasn’t a Come to Jesus moment in the movie when at least some of the internal factions in the Dahomey court truly repent of slavery. I know how I’d script it if I wanted to tell an honest story.

By the way, surely I’m not the only person here who first met the Dahomey Amazons via Sir Harry Flashman’s misadventures in the slave trade? Surely????
