Is Wakanda based on anything real

Actually a lot of African cities are more advance than other nations cities because they were built with new technologies in mind. For example, you can be miles in the Sahara and still get full cell phone signal.

You wouldn't know that because nobody learns about Africa.

>>93089508
no... there is no country in Africa as sophisticated as say Germany when it comes to technology

>>93089508
Yup. A lot of African cities have better internet than most of American cities. Then again, it really doesn't take much to achieve that.

>>93089508
ummm im pretty sure the fact that the U.S landed a man on the moon is more advanced than anything Africa has done

>>93089460
Most African nations that had a chance to be good or great either fucked themselves over or outside influence fucked them. Mostly it is themselves.

4 US cities are in the top 10 in the world

>>93089587
That doesn't exactly disprove anon's claim. He didn't say they were the top 10, just better than most.

>>93089623
true

but at no point in recorded human history was a african civilization the most advanced in the world

>>93089651
and by that i mean Sub-Saharian Black Africa

nah. the concept of Wakanda was that it was a completeley lost civilization, like Mu or Atlantis, only recently confirmed to actually exist (relative to its introduciton in Marvel)

>>93089651
>>93089669
We all know that. That's the whole shtick and why it's isolated from the rest of the continent. Their history and development iirc was separate from the bantu expansion

>>93089587
Jesus Christ bless Google Fiber.

It seems to have been loosely inspired by Ethiopia, one of the few countries in Africa that doggedly resisted any colonization attempts. The superscience stuff is just fantasy, though, as Ethiopia was no more advanced than other nations at the time.

>>93089460
Dubai?

It's probably inspired by the bizarre juxtaposition of Africa having large, modern cities that were built before the natives had a chance to fully adapt to modern mentality. Some parts of Africa are a bizarre mishap-mash of high tech and primitive.

>>93089460
LA LO LEE

>>93089982
Dubai is in the middle-east, not Africa. you can google it

>>93089557
He said city, not country. Wakanda is essentially just a City-State like Atlantis or Attilan.

>>93089573
>U.S landed a man on the moon
>Americans actually still believe this
haha oh wow

>>93090127
But you see man, it's confirmed due to lasers and shit.

>>93089669
I don't know about advanced, but Mali, Ethiopia, and the Swahili city-states were all pretty wealthy while Europe was going through the dark ages. Of course, they didn't have a shade on China in the same period, though.

>>93089881
This. Even the comic designs seem to be Ethiopia. It was the first African country to adopt christianity and was actually far ahead of Europe in that. The churches they built were/are insane! Carved right out of mountains. That shows you how mathematically advanced they were for the time.

I would say it also draws some ideas from more ancient african nations like Sheba biblical stories and probably Timbuktu, which during the middle ages was the most advanced university in the western world.

>>93089460
Ethiopia was really the only one that wasn't just a trade empire that got steamrolled. They stayed Christian when Muslims were going conquering in their prime. Africa is kinda shit because it doesn't get a lot of rain in most places, a growing desert, incursions by almost every other great civilization kicking the shit out of them and fucking the wounds, and the fact that they never hunted most of the other big predators to extinction like Europeans and Muslims did.

>>93090127
I'm feeling generous so here's a (you) to make up for your retardation

>>93089460
No. It's one of those retarded types of "all black people must be super-scientists" type of things you find in fiction. However there are some small African nations like Rwanda and Uganda which are well-run and developing quickly under tight military control, and in the 1980s the nation of Burkina Faso made tremendous strides under communism.

That kid has vitiligo, a really rare heritable skin condition which results in your skin getting splotchy white patches. The excuse people give for Michael Jackson getting plastic surgery to look white is "he had da vitiligo so he wanted it 2 look uniform n sheeit".

tumblr and liberal artists in general love it very much.

>>93091130
>When your empires collapse because a european empire outlaws the slave trade it's pretty much 100% your fault

People give the South shit for this all the time, but I guess when it happens in Africa it's cause of racism somehow.

>>93090189
Timbuktu didn't have an university, it had four madrassas than more or less shared texts and guarded them. Than made them a point of pilgrimage for NA and other Mena people too and propelled islam in Africa. Also the madrasas were made be the berbers(or Andalusians, funily enough), for example Sankore means white nobles,aluding to the tribe if tge Sanhaja Berbers than made and paid it. Mansa Paid for another when the city was anexed, comisioned to an andalusian poet (how the fuck he did know about buildings is anyone guess), the last was made be Sidi Yahya Al-Tudeli, an andalusian exile (it has a quaint legend too).

Friend of mine went to some Central-African country for some charity organisation.

When she came back, she couldn't stop talking about homeless people that owned cellphones and/or laptops with internet access allowing them to get flex jobs from day to day.

Those homeless people would rather have access to the internet than own a home. Internet access gave them access to work. A house only costs money.

That's cyberpunk as fuck.

>>93091285
Actually that sounds kinda baller for story potential. Get Marvel on the phone and a new BP story around that.

>>93089573
your average modern vending machine is more technologically advanced than the moon landing.

>>93091248
You realize the vast majority of Africa has even worse internet than that, correct

>>93090227
Fucking black people. I'm starting to understand why they are treated like shit everywhere.

4chan's been infested with redditors and edgy teens ever since the election because of /pol/. I miss the old /pol/ before it became "lol xD jews and niggers amirite? am i fitting in with yoor maymays?"

>>93091328
Something low-key though.

Murders happening in some motel for homeless workers. Some local kid finds a black catsuit in the trash, gets the idea to dress up as BP, and catches the killers (illegal organ traders). Final fight almost kills the kid, but some mysterious shadow saves the kid. Implied that it was BP helping the kid.

Now you have a BP comic about the whole shit situation outside Wakanda, and a setup for an African superhero actually trying to fix shit.

Hell, you could even give the kid some soft rivalry with BP.
>you just sit behind your walls being rich!
>you're just like the people in the west!

>>93091285
Ye, When African countries get their shit together to develop cities, they do pretty good.
A little bit like South Korea

I think Africa has a lot of untapped potential. We just need to get it under control. All the resources we used trying to turn the Middle East into democracies could have been used to colonize some African countries for the better.

Ignoring the fact that this thread has literally devolved into shitposting about whether Africa (a 3rd world country) or the US (1st world) has relatively worse infrastructure (with neither gaining the upper hand in this argument)...

It's based off a mixture of African countries that resisted colonisation (see Ethiopia and Abyssinia before Italy got outsmarted for too long, and just decided to go proto scorched earth) and mythical/exaggerated civilisations (such as Atlantis and fables related to Babylon) which supposedly had alien like tech.

>>93091971

Wakanda is extremely isolationist, even to it's neighbours.

Think of how many people in England actually gave a fuck when stuff like the potato famine happened to their neighbours, or how many right wing/Vichy apologists there were in WWII. Neighbouring countries don't give a fuck, and will keep you in the dirt for shits and giggles if they want.

As long as there's money to be made, there'll be a tiny minority who'll make a shitload of it, and until there's no longer any reason to physically stick around your operations that make you rich, there will be rich districts in cities. Even cities that mostly look like Blighttown with dirty laundry hanging from everything.
