The funny thing is that France has this rule that was an issue. That a movie can only be released on streaming services after 2 years of release which was an issue for Disney
So according to the article, the soldiers aren’t even confirmed to be French, they’re just wearing similar uniforms. Like, does the minister of defense not have anything better to do with their time?
>> France’s defence minister has condemned the latest instalment of Marvel’s Black Panther franchise for ‘deceptively’ depicting French troops storming a base in Mali and trying to steal resources belonging to the fictional African kingdom of Wakanda. …
>> ‘I strongly condemn this false and deceptive representation of our armed forces,’ Sebastien Lecornu wrote on Twitter in response to a clip from the film – despite it being released three months ago in UK cinemas. …
>> The defence ministry told AFP that France was not calling for withdrawal or censorship of a work of art.
>> But ‘no revisionism can be allowed about France’s recent actions in Mali: we intervened at the county’s own request to fight armed terrorist groups, far from the story told in the film, namely a French army coming to pillage natural resources,’ the ministry added.
The follow-up in-film news report called the soldiers “mercenaries”.

>Queen Ramonda of the nation of Wakanda gave an electrifying speech at the UN yesterday, while members of her military escorted captive mercenaries onto the floor of the UN.
Marvel couldn’t even commit to the idea that colonialists would officially intervene in an African country for personal gain.

It’s a fucking made-up story, not a historical documentary. There are enough real problems France could work on instead of making up new nonsense.
