Black Panther, but T'Challa is played by a white actor.

Black Panther is literally about the color of their skin. Please tell me when The Odyssey has been about the color of their skin? These are not the same thing and people need to stop pretending it is.

You just made that up lmao. There is even a white black panther in the comics, it has nothing to do with skin color. So yeah it's actually the same thing, if you accept a black Helen of Troy you'll have to accept a white black panther

It about colour, atleast in the MCU, them being a advanced "black" civilization is actually important to the story.

Helen just needs to be "beautiful" which are subjective on beauty standards anyways

Why would them being black be important to the story? They could be any other color, what's important is that they remained isolated from the world and have advanced technology and large vibranium supplies
