I realized they retconned Wakanda's location of being a landlocked country to one with a coastline because otherwise the plot of the sequel literally wouldn't work.

Nah, Wakanda relocated after Thanos snap. They put all the buildings in vibranium trailers.
they
wak'd-an-outta there
hehe
Why don't the roads have pavement?
They don't have cars.
The had a car chase in the first movie didn’t they?
That was in Korea.
If you pave the roads, then it doesn't look like Africa.
>the totally African city must look like slums because otherwise people would mistake it for generic first world city and we can't have that
lol
Wakanda is a fictional country made by two Americans of European-israeli descent in the 60's, of course it is just based on stereotypes at the core. Some later creators, like Priest, Hudlin and Coates, may be black but they're still Americans and aren't guaranteed to really understand how sci-fi Africa would be. To Lee and Kirby's credit, their Wakanda may have been based on stereotypes but at least the stone age leftovers were explained by the Wakandans only having learned engineering in the past 20 years. Why most other writers make them out to have had sci-fi tech since before the industrial revolution and still do backwards bullshit like trial by combat is beyond me.
But yeah, things like dirt roads, rhino farms, straw roof skyscrapers, laser spears, etc. All of these are less excuseable because at least you can excuse the lack of democracy on cultural reasons and it's not like dictatorships don't exist in technologically advanced societies (the specifics are still kinda bullshit though), but things like the straw roofs on skyscrapers is just a complete failure to understand how technology shapes society. Actual African cities have concrete roofs on their tall buildings like all other modern cities, not because the architecture was lifted from foreigners, but because it makes more sense and is a better design. Likewise, if you invent combat lasers when you previously had spears, you don't just keep the spears and make them shoot lasers, you start using laser guns and the spear (if not abandoned entirely) is reduced down to a bayonette. Hell, Okoye shouldn't be disgusted at the idea of wearing robot armor, it should have been invented before she was born.
>of course it is just based on stereotypes at the core.
they didn't have dirt roads man
Wakanda is carbon neutral
Because it's a walk-able city.
They've always had access to a river.
>Because it's a walk-able city.
Do you have any idea how much easier pavement makes all traffic, even foot traffic? It's not like most sidewalks aren't paved.
Asphalt is a pollutant especially in direct sunlight on hot days.
Fine, then something else that's not polluting, but also wont have me walking on dirt all day.
The dirt actually looks pretty soft, and they seem to keep it clean of hazards like glass/shells/metals. You could probably walk on it barefoot comfortably
it would be hot as frick though
And wash your feet everytime you walk in anywhere, because the inside of their houses look squeeky clean. Briliant.
>not having nanobots that clean your feet when you walk into your house.
>Walk barefoot on dirt
Anon, dirt road is full of living creatures, shrapnel, random littering shit. It is dusty as frick in summer and muddy as frick in winter. It is not a fricking walk on the beach. I know you Murifat are probably unfamiliar with such concept but please use your fricking head
>Have magic tech
>Can't invent some pavement that is more heat resistant
I mean, it really reads like they just found alien magi-material and they are only powerful due to that, not because they are actually smart.
Why would you want to walk on hard pavement instead of natural soil
Pavement is unnatural just like sitting on a toilet
They don't have cars. What they should use are Roman styled Brick roads.
I thought they flooded out a Nation to get to Wakanda?
No they just flooded Wakanda, they literally show off a coastline and river path.
Yeah I thought of that too, and when you think about it, it makes no sense for a country on the coast to have never been discovered, like you can realistically imagine a piece of jungle in the middle of Africa to have never been interfered with all this time because there's frick all there but coasts have been the one thing in human history that we've been exceedingly good at prodding and exploring
TFWYR Sential Island is the front for IRL Wakanda.
Tfwyr?
It's a code ywn break.
There is no coast
Just a river
That doesn't answer
's objections, though. Rivers were the first thing explorers checked out after coastlines.
Could be due to violent rapids and high falls upstream preventing boats from going further, it's happened before.
I don't get how black people don't feel insulted by the idea of Wakanda. I'd be pissed off if two white dudes made up a fictional nation vaguely based on my culture where the gimmick is literally "what is black people actually created an empire." You can argue I'm only pretending to care as an outlet to be racist, but legitimately if cultural appropriation is anything to be concerned about this has to be a major offended. It's genuinely funny to me but also fricked up that people don't hate this
not to mention the source of all their power literally landed in their hands from space, hardly any of their innovation is used to facilitate a better life for their people, only absurd, showoffy high tech nonsense and warfare, and theyre still animalistic unga bunga people
this is just "what if savages had money"
Doesn't help that in the first movie Wakanda was telling all the other Africans to go frick themselves and had a Trump Wall (made of some gay lasers and mirrors) around their country to keep everybody else out. And even after the first movie they're still more or less like that still, hell Wakanda Forever's plot only happens because they're still being gay with it.
Wakanda Forever pretty much affirms that T'Challa's dream of sharing Wakanda's technology and resources with the wider world was wrong because they're too greedy and self-serving, so much so that Wakanda might have to team up with another xenophobic super nation to survive.
>sharing tech and resources
They literally only want the vibranium
Yes vibranium is a resource and has produced all of their advanced technologies.
>Doesn't help that in the first movie Wakanda was telling all the other Africans to go frick themselves and had a Trump Wall (made of some gay lasers and mirrors) around their country to keep everybody else out.
Make Wakanda Great Again!
>if cultural appropriation is anything to be concerned about
It's not, and never has been, and never will be.
>I don't get how black people don't feel insulted by the idea of Wakanda
Actual Africans and black Latinos make fun black Panther and African American obsession with Wakanda all the time. Especially in African and South American social media.
Africans hate African Americans more than /misc/. Black Latinos not much different. Not sure about black Europeans beyond how black British people feel about African Americans.
Africans also really fricking hate whites
>Africans also really fricking hate whites
And? They view black Americans are culture less people that give the black race a bad name by glorifying thug culture and not having fathers. That’s far worse than being viewed as a oppressor.
I just can't stress this enough everyone hates whites
>Racist claims to care about my feelings the post
Yeah bro I'm sure you really care take your conniving shit back to the 1800s
>the only way Africa can possibly industrialize is alien technology
I liked it
back to your nipples thread, gay
Jesus Christ, why does Kevin Smith always look like he just shit his pants?
They showed home movies of Chadwick's childhood and played "In the Arms of an Angel" over top.
I cried too.
You try to force yourself to cry.
what happened
They recast T'Challa with another actor, but instead of just having it be a normal cast change, it's his secret son they never brought up before who just happens to also be called T'Challa and was raised on a secret stash of heart shaped herbs that were cultivated elsewhere
So wait.. are we going to have Mini Black panther/Back panther Boy? In the new Avengers?
He was never given any herbs and was named after his father this homie can't even pay attention to what actually happened.
Kevin Smith cries when he gets an extra McNugget in his order.
And seriously, crying at THAT scene? Really? Why? How? Why would anyone cry there?
Kevin Smith is a veagan
So he saw a movie full of dark meat, and is crying that he can't eat it anymore?
Jesus Christ, does this guy does anything else this day, other than crying while watching any capeshit?
I swear. Veganism ducked Kevin smith mentally. He was happier and possibly healthier when he was a fat frick. He started being fat to having stomach ulcers from fasting and tomato soup diet.
>being fat to having stomach ulcers from fasting and tomato soup diet.
Nursing gay here. Sounds like Kevin smith went from being morbidly obese to being bulimic.
isnt eating only fruits what killed steve jobs
>isnt eating only fruits what killed Steve Jobs
Yes. Still not as dumb as Tara strong. She got a little girl killed by recommending new age oil treatment to her parents years ago. Now she wants people arrested for not getting a covid boosters. At least the little girl got to have Tara strong sing a little mermaid song before she died.
>Now she wants people arrested for not getting a covid boosters.
Wait, I thought she was antivaxx?
>Wait, I thought she was antivaxx?
Half of Hollywood was anti-vaccination when Trump was in office. They became pro Big Pharma under Biden.
>Half of Hollywood
Dude... they have not changed with Baiden. It's just that the other half got more vocal.
>Still not as dumb as Tara strong. She got a little girl killed by recommending new-age oil treatment to her parents years ago.
I was on a thread on /mlp/ almost 10 years ago when that happened. Could Tara strong be arrested or sued over getting the girl's parents to treat skin cancer with fruit juice cream?
Unless you can prove malice or deliberate lies, probably not. If you listen to a dumbass it's your own dumbass fault.
Yes but because he was using the fruit diet as an alternative to a very curable pancreatic cancer
Why does anyone still listens to anything this overrated moron has to say?
>Kevin Smith crying like a b***h
Like clockwork.
And he still has fans, who defend him for simply being emotional... Not realizing he's like that towards every single crap this days.
Man was close to dying at one point so maybe he's just appreciating all there is in life now?
Yeah, but he always picks low hanging fruits. I like the new BP movie, but to cry over it? And that particular scene?
people who spend too much time on twitter are always mentally unbalanced. someone should take the phone away from him for his own good
Nah he's a huge b***h
Man I still love Clerks but this dude has become such a wimp. Maybe the heart attack really scared him or something but he needs to get it together rather than get emotional on social media.
Clerks is a good movie, but I think it got popular for all the wring reasons. Like everyone focus on the star wars talk instead of the construction workers answer making it a great scene.
I wish he was dead
Wasnt it a river tho?
>landlocked
Huh, from what I remember in Infinity War, it was on the coastline
I think you got it wrong OP
There's traditionally at least one large lake in or bordering Wakanda.
They print a map in practically every run, man. Read some comics.
>Read some comics.
Yes, when we're talking about the MCU, I should be using comics as reference, just like the X-Men in the MCU currently live in a living island called krakoa right?
homosexual
Yes, when talking about the fictional country of Wakanda, knowing the MCU showed it as a land-locked country but didn't show any detailed maps in the movies, it's safe to reference the comics where it also showed it as a land-locked country also near large bodies of water.
Or, you know, check google and find the official movie art book that confirms the same fricking thing.
That's most likely what you will get, the mansion has been done already
Is this a plan for a new area at Disney World?
They can put it in Animal Kingdom
They can't, Universal's Marvel contract includes Black Panther because of his Avengers membership and Fantastic Four associations.
They would if they could though since Joe Rohde isn't around to gatekeep anymore and they're entertaining the idea of shoving Zootopia and Moana into the park as a Dinoland replacement.
Literally the first scene of Black Panther shows Wakanda is landlocked
Not anymore it's not~
Atlantis literally have bombs that explode thousands of gallons of water
Their is a river in wakanda
There's probably loads of water underneath wakanda
Why are people thinking wakanda is on the coast of Africa now
>incredibly advanced civilization
>unpaved dirt roads
>windows with no glass
>ugly brick buildings
>ceilings that look like cheap corrugated iron
I guess they needed to use "African" visual language
Would it kill them to put some asphalt and bricks on the roads, or does this super advanced so much better than us civilization simply loves rolling in dirt, everytime they leave their homes? And don't even try to tell me, that it's cultural thing.
>Wanting tar and pavement hearing up an already hot part of the world
This isn't Saudi Arabia we don't build shit line cities to flaunt wealth
They have flying cars you absolute worm stop obsessing over dirt
its river you dumbass just see some landlocked country still have seafood like serbia
I love how they copied how Africa looks, instead of how it could have looked, even down to the rust, mismatched tiling, and straw roofs.
It's meant to make you think current Africans are doing it because it makes sense for some reason rather than because they have literally no other options and they're poor as hell
>mmmm tire plastic in the breathable air
it's the same in the comics. some writers place it in the middle of africa, others near a coast and some others even made it an island
Doesn't that just mean wakanda has always been alone
well wakandans have always been racist towards the rest of the world, they have always looked down on everyone not wakandan.
Yeah I was just saying that's what he meant by wakanda has always been an island they've always kept to themselves and stayed alone
The real question is how the Talokans can travel in the ocean really fast, can the animals they ride on travel with super sonic speed?
Did you not see the current that takes you to talocan?
Must be awesome, having to clean your feet everytime you leave your house. So advance.
So I take it Doom doesn't show up in the post-credit scene like all the leaks were saying?
If doom showed up, Kevin Smith would force his family to cry for his twitter selfie.
We never really see the life of the average person in Wakanda, only the drama and brickering of the monarchy and high houses. So the place might as well be a third world shithole for all we know.
Marvel Comics is Cinemaphile, you moron homosexual. Stop living rent free. You will never be a mod.
They been had the river tribe
Did they replace Liberia with Wakanda?
