I do think that there's one sense in which the movie is ill-served by the current political climate - I think Wakanda is supposed to invoke the idea of a utopia/paradise, and in the context of a fictional construct utopia/paradise, the idea of isolation makes more sense. Instead, I think the audience places Wakanda in the context of first-world nations and contemporary immigrant and refugee politics, and so the idea of Wakanda isolating itself seems much less sympathetic or justifiable.

... valid point, though for me that makes the movie more interesting. Wakanda's initial stance is actually less admirable than Erik's... and then the movie shifts the shades of gray around.

The isolationism is not presented as sympathetic or justifiable by the movie.

I think it's supposed to be less unsympathetic than it is. Maybe that's just me. But I think, while it's clearly the wrong choice, we should be able to see the pull behind it. After all, the characters who argue in favor of it aren't entirely unsympathetic.
