8 Lessons WWE Could Learn From The MCU
7. Representation Matters
One of the most successful films of the past few years was Black Panther. This was new ground for the MCU, as it showed a non-white protagonist, as well as most of the supporting cast being the citizens of Wakanda. The film spoke about racial issues, and took a huge step in proving the importance of representation for everyone on screen.
It's not just Black Panther where they have done this. Captain Marvel showed a strong female lead, Into The Spiderverse showed us a black Spider-Man, and the reveal of Phase 4 points strongly towards diversity being a core principle at the heart of Marvel's philosophy.
Whilst WWE might claim they have done this with the recent Kofi WWE title reign, one black WWE champion does not equal representation.
I'll say that again: One black WWE champion does not equal representation.
Marvel have shown the importance and appeal in showing people characters who look like them, and this is definitely something WWE need to have a think about.
