The two characters you gave are great examples of what I'm talking about. Original Black Panther is more a white fantasy of blackness than anything else. Do Lee and Kirby takle issues unique to Africans or write about the African experience? Not in any of the OG comics I've read. Representation is important and what they did at that time is a positive but, it lack the depth and incite I'm talking about.

Bendis has definitely tried to cover the issues I'm talking about but, has also received criticism for how he wrote them. Some of that criticism may be just because he is a white person writing about a Black/Latinx characters experience, I'm not qualified to say. It's definitely weird that Miles' dad shares a name with the President of the Confederate States though.
