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 Image 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 ImageImage

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) Image 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)

This is the seperate tagged spoilers thread for my #MayaAndTheThree observations of Mesoamerican influences. You can go find my non-spoiler one in the link. Ok, on with the chaos! 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)
