Why are Wakandan rulers barbaric for fights to the death for deciding the throne but Atlantian rulers are not? Both are very technologically advanced societies with civilized forms of government and culture. Ackbar wants some answers while I polish off a seafood platter.

There are some advantages to trial by combat. A leader willing to face the possibility of death in mortal combat is a leader who at least understands what it means to order troops into battle. There's also a simplistic beauty to it, free of politics and backstabbing. It will also show the grit, heart and courage of the future leader and how he composes himself. It will show just how dedicated he is to his position if he's willing to brave death for it. That said, I agree that it's definitely not the best way to pick a leader. Merely the best way to pick out a champion. As for why the Atlanteans were not called barbaric for doing so... maybe because majority of them were white? And you know, racism and all that. |

No campaigning, no debates, no robocalls, no begging for donations for campaign funds, no TV ads that go 'Here is why my opponent is an asshole...,' no door to door canvasing for votes, no voter fraud... sounds awesome.

I imagined that battle in Aquaman between the brothers? It looked so movie real... As for Wakanda

It's because no one in the Aquaman duel got injured. Because it's more kiddie.

I'm pretty sure few would argue that the Atlantean Kings before Arthur were pretty barbaric. One of them tried to sacrifice his wife, for example.
