Since my basic breakdown got popular (thank you all so much!), here’s a new thread to enjoy. The #Mesoamerica Influences in Costumes of #wakandaforever so spoliers ahead!! Fashion, my favorite 🤩🧵1/13 Starting with #Shuri’s fit! Namora’s not wrong when she says someone of Shuri’s status wears highly decorated jade ornaments. Right pic of K’abal, Maya “warrior” queen of Wak, wearing lots of jade (that I highlighted) 🧵2/13

It is time! That’s right. Time to break down the #Mesoamerica Influences, not explained in detail at least, in #WakandaForever  so Spoilers in the THREAD and links to more info if I could fit it. Let’s Dive In, pun intended. 🧵… (1/17) Firstly, gotta talk about the Talokanil themes. You hear Maya whistles and drums when we first meet the warriors! And that screech in Namor’s theme. It’s a jaguar whistle. It sounds like… well… a Jaguar! #wakandaforever 🧵 (2/17)

The Mesoamericans were good at keeping track of sun, moon, star, and planet alignments. So an eclipse normally wouldnt be shocking or ominous… normally 👀 #MayaAndTheThree #MayaAndTheThreeSpoilers (1/11)

Thus begins my official thread of Mesoamerican Insperations in #MayaAndTheThree that I know off the top of my head because I have no chill. Holy Cacao, it’s a lot!I’m keeping it organized starting from non-spoiler and ending very spoiler. Let’s go!! Teca! A play on the Mexica’s common name “Azteca”. The Mexica home, Tenochtitlan, was built on a lake like Teca. An eagle killing a snake on a cactus (featered on the Mexican Flag) was the omen the Mexica’s ancestors sought where to settle their home. #MayaAndTheThree (1/24)
