WAKANDAAAAA!

Fucking kino

>>89912576
They built a wall to keep the rest of Africa out.

>>89912097
This is the most tryhard and artificial I've seen the MCU done so far

...Do you even know what Wakanda is?

>>89912177
I like this one.

>>89912126
That's cool

>>89912699
No, that's only for Wakandans.

Wakanda hates the rest of Africa and has never ethnically blended with it because the entire rest of the human race is inferior, and the rest of Africa isn't really aware of what's in Wakanda and hate them for it.

So its basically Atlantis. In Africa.

>>89913484
Has anyone ever done anything with Wakanda being a stand in for upperclass African-Americans who got theirs and then cut themselves off from the rest of the African-American community? I feel like there's something there that someone better at writing could do something worthwhile with. Maybe just not be so obvious about it.

>>89912097
Looks believable for a country that whites didn't invade

>>89913587
I'm interested in this too.

You could have a story where, like, Rwanda, Nigeria, and the DRC all team up and try to invade Wakanda.

>>89912152

The Rwanda higher-ups would be Pro-Wall. Keeps the riffraff out.

So what's Wakanda's stance on refugees

Wakanda doesn't fuck around

>>89913484
Not only that, but they're also dicks to their fellow Wakandans.


Basically T'Challa is the lone Wakandan who is not a raging asshole and wants to reach out and join the rest of the world.

>>89913653
Can we work in an angle where the white South Africans try to sneak in and steal Wakandan tech?

>>89913707
This is a nation that found out the cure for cancer, but refuses to share it with the rest of the world.

What do you think their stance is?

>>89913707
The same one they've got for non-Wakandan cancer patients: 'Fuck them and their problems'

>>89913707
Fuck off we're full.

>>89912606
Wakanda is literally a place where they jerk off black ego by making them all rich and super smart.

It was the WE WUZ meme before the internet even existed.

Got the better of two Black Panthers and loved to tell the tale.

Looks like they stole the Great Mosque of Djenne from Mali... That's pretty fucked up to make the most prominent black nation in the Marvel universe a nation of thieves. You'd hope that Marvel would know better than to perpetuate ignorant, untrue, racist stereotypes.

Wakanda is probably going to be very neutered in the MCU for that very reason.

>>89913707
YOU HAVE TO GO BACK, YOU CAN'T BE BLACK

>>89914065
My favourite thing about Wakanda has always been that they're all a bunch of hyper-conservative cunts who want everyone outside of Wakanda to go and stay go.

I know Priest's run did it and Hudlin's run infamously didn't, but what other BP runs deal with the fact that a futuristic country in Africa that keeps its wealth and prosperity away from its neighboring third-world countries seems really fucked up?

>>89914637
Eh, it was kind of inevitable

>>89914678
In the original Jungle Action and Fantastic Four, Wakanda was still a tribal kingdom, populated by primitive people whose preferred weapon was the spear.

Black Panther just sold some Vibranium so he could travel the world going to universities and stocking his lab so he could get revenge on Klaw.

>>89914678
The current run kind of deals with it, as in their neighbor wants to invade while they are weak. But that will be a long way away with all the decompression.

>>89913713
Basically this. His best stories are trying to integrate Wakanda to the rest of the world. He knows his nation can't be self sustaining for long and open trading and integration is good for the country.

His huge opposition is the conservative faction that wants Wakanda to close off to the rest of the world, even going as far as allying with the likes of Doom or AIM to achieve it in exchange for vibranium.

>>89914636
>it's the stereo playlist for T'Challa's mech

Basically Israel.

>>89914873
Wasn't it more like his grandfather or father's generation was more tribal before they secretly started advancing like crazy. I remember in Panther's first appearance Reed was very impressed by Wakandan tech when he visited the mechanical rain forest or something. Man that page was fully Kirby and I loved it.

>>89914637
It's almost like it's a fantasy setting or something.

>>89914597
That's cool how they seem to be taking from that.

>>89912126
Is this them preserving their old buildings? Seems weird.

>>89912126
the glass preservation thing is cool

Nothing would make me happier than seeing this movie fail

>>89915814
Oh come on anon. Wouldn't it be funny to see lots of people say racism was dead again for a few weeks if Black Panther hits #1 for a month straight?

I don't care how much you slap tech over it, shitty Africa is still Africa. No one would live there by choice and be sane.

>>89913824
Serksis Klaw is going to be fucking amazing in this movie. He's gotta be going full man made of sound, why else would they get a contortionist for the role?

>>89915904
>No one would live there by choice and be sane.
so the Australia effect?

>>89915918
That's another place.

Fuck let's see... the entirety of South America, the Middle East + India, Hawaii

>>89915431
Originally Tchalla personally invented most/all of the technology in Wakanda. Then eventually ( I want to say Hudlin did it) it got retconned into always being advanced.

>>89912545
This concept art is all coming from a "Sneak Peek at Phase 3" video that came with Dr. Strange.

>Marvel

>seems weird
Wakandans love sacking their ancestral dicks
>>89915950
To be fair withe exception of Australia and Sahara Africa the issue is the people. If you had super tech to keep out the warlords and aids it'd be a better place to live

>>89912126
They do something like this in Brussels, cool as fuck

>>89916724
Dc is racist while Marvel is progressive

>>89912097
more like "dayum", eh nigga?

>>89912584
I still find it amusing how isolationist they are in the comic and even the MCU. The very thing so many black people movie goers will have forgotten as they brag about how awesome they are when the movie comes out with the We Wuz meme.

I'm sorry but it's just kinda funny to me that Marvel's claim to fame is "real people in the real world" but their first solo black superhero has to have an entire hyper-advanced fictional country behind him

>>89917982
>Marvel's claim to fame is "real people in the real world"
Thor really screams that doesn't he

>>89918023
I'm talkin about Earth obviously for a long time it was a big deal that Marvel heroes lived in real cities instead of fake ones

>>89912097

It's rather drab. Can we have some symbols or banners?

>>89912097
Reminds me of Elona from Guild Wars. High tech Africa is a fun fantasy setting. If the sight of it doesn't trigger you that is.

>>89912097

So Europeans living in Southern US for hundreds of years BEFORE the invention of air conditioning? Trust me, the South's heat is hell on Earth even with AC. The humidity impairs your ability to sweat and drives the heat index way up.

>>89914065
its gonna be amusing to watch /pol/ flip its shit

>>89918330
Real central Africa sucks. Comic book heroes are larger than life concepts for we in the real world to admire and aspire to. This setting is kind of like that, but for a handful of third world shithole countries. Nothing wrong with that besides that it sets off "fuck whitey" alarms in some people's heads.

>>89918494
You mean like right now in this very thread? I find it tiresome. 4chan is so serious and political now. Happy Negro spins in his memegrave at these super serious race warriors.

>>89918494

I wonder how many people on /pol/ have even heard of the first Italo-Ethiopian War (where Italy failed to conquer an African nation).

This looks actually fantastic. It's not generic jungle shit, it keeps the slums based on Mumbai from several runs, it's got the we wuz kangs jungle ruins separate from the city, just great all around.

Of course every Marvel movie has had great concept art so it's not necessarily reflective of the movie's quality.

>>89918584
Eh, fair enough. I just can't believe some people actually get mad at this. It feels like they wouldn't be happy unless the setting were a backdrop to one of those feed the children commercials, and the superhero was BabyrapeAIDS-man, with the power to steal plasma screens and lust after white wimmins.

It's a fun concept but not very Marvel. I prefer the make believe version.

I like how you think we're gonna be able to discuss this movie on /co/ OP. You deserve a blue lantern ring.

>>89918616
That we should all be so lucky. Super science is the shit. Dirt fucking hippie purists are ruining the dream for all of us.

>>89918641
And the speed of crack cocaine. Faster than 10 baseheads. More powerful than 10 child soldiers. More deadly than AIDS and Malaria combined! He is Africa Man!

>>89912097

>imagine a land without white people

and Marvel delivered, I know is fiction but still

>>89918746
More like a land where Africa was constantly at war with itself for centuries and then depopulated to the point where it was forced to develop that technology.

You do know that Africa is a continent, right? It's large enough that you could fit the entire USA into it multiple times over.

Saying that no one would want to live in Africa because the worst parts of it are really bad is like saying no one would want to live in North America because there are some really rough places in Mexico.

>>89918883

still no white people

>>89919036

Do you really think they'd be pro refugees?

>>89919007
>You do know that Africa is a continent, right?
When people say Africa in general they are usually talking about the shitty middle parts that have the most problems. Sorta like when people say America in general they ain't talking about Argentina or Ecuador. Context, my nigga.

>>89919072
In Priests run the whole problem with Achabe taking over is initiated by him manipulating refugees. So yes, they have taken refugees, they just didnt allow them into their city, but did allow them in their boarders.

>>89919149
Ya well, there is also Mississippi

>>89918365

Leave that shit in Star Wars faggot.

>>89918549
Yeah, but that's Italy.
They're like the Randy Quaid of white nations, no one actually expects them to win anything ever.

They used up all their accomplishments with the Roman Empire, and to this day celebrate the religion that destroyed it.

Yeah but where are the white woman?

This is pretty damn cool but anyone else wish Wakanda were even more futuristic? I realize they need to ground it and make it more realistic or else it might be kinda ridiculous but I wanted to see flying cars and shit.

>>89919200
yup, and Detroit.

>>89921046
I have a feeling it would have just looked like a cleaner version of Mega-City One from Dredd if they decided to go that route.
