But race is an integral part of both Black Panther the character and this movie. And merchandising is a huge portion of what makes the MCU the juggernaut that it is.

Why else do you think characters get drastic design changes from movie to movie? Because it's easier to sell toys of an old character if you give them a new costume.

Part of what makes characters like Iron-Man and Batman a merchandising gold mine is the fact that their characters necessitate costume changes on a regular basis due to them constantly upgrading their tech and gear.
