As per usual, never change African mythology. But mythology of white cultures? That's free game. These freaks are always the same.
I've stopped hating modern TV though. I've simply moved on. There's so much old media out there, both films and series I haven't watched and those that are worthy of re-watching. Occasionally a new show might break through with enough praise from the sources I trust, but otherwise I just ignore it. The opposite of love isn't hate, it's apathy. And I am apathetic to pretty much anything from modern media bar a small handful of exceptions.
I wanted to say how it's questionable would the international audiences be even interested in anything remotely genuine (unlike the literal Jewish fantasy of Wakanda), but then I remembered there's a French African-folklore animated movie, Kirikou and the Sorceress, that was so successful that it got several sequels and spinoffs in many years after its release and there was even a video game.
To the surprise of many, Kirikou and Sorceress has become one of the greatest successes of French animated cinema. After modest beginnings, thanks to word of mouth the film quickly became a hit in France. Thanks to its success, the film has been translated into 16 languages and was exported around the world. Beginning in 1999, it was distributed in Switzerland, Italy, the Netherlands, Sweden and Norway. In subsequent years, the film also appeared in the United States, Germany and the UK. This international success has been bolstered by dozens of awards, including the Best Feature Film Award at the International Animation Film Festival in Ukraine and the Best European Feature Film Award at the British Animation Film Festival.
That's more than a great most of standalone animated films.

Africans would have to have recorded their mythology in some fashion for other people to be able to update it.
