Can you name one superhero movie that follows the plot of the OP comic?

The closest I can think of is Thanos killing half the people in the universe and the heroes trying to stop him. You're on Thanos's side?

The bad guy in black panther had a point, but was also a fascist trying to start a race war. And in the end, the hero acknowledges the issues that the villain had raised and does make changes to address them.

"We should intervene in misbehaving countries" vs. "we must respect other countries sovereignty" is never such an easy decision as the cartoon puts it.

In the end of Black Panther, Wakanda becomes an imperialistic power.

... because they build outreach centers?

Have you seen things like that built around in your country?

Imperialism is about resource and labor extraction, unless they're using those outreach centers to destroy local markets so the people have to work on the plantations for pennies to scrape by, so Wakanda can buy bananas for cheap, I don't see how it's imperialism.
