Why would T'Chaka have to send them to outside schools if their country was top shit when it came to technology? It seems that 1 generation ago they were getting over a bump from middling country with a powerful military to top tier technological powerhouse.
Also let's not talk about their computers not being based on binary lol

Come on I didn't say that. Not a fan of e.g. the Thor stuff but it's harder to get irritated by that because there's always the it's-a-distant-dimension excuse, not a place on Earth.
Either way, I'm not saying it will hamper my enjoyment of the movie. In principle I would be e.g. against all magic in MCU but like in Dr Strange and Cosmic Marvel, I know it will make the movies more interesting / varied so I just roll with it.
edit: if I had actually read the comics I might try to argue like Trojita I guess haha
....where the hell are you guys getting this stuff?!
Because Wakanda doesn't have a monopoly on knowledge. They also invited great minds in to visit.
Wakanda has never really made sense, especially when in certain books it's basically like an alien level of technological advancement somehow having sprung up out of nowhere. It's just a conceit you have to buy into, like the super strength and general superhero stuff.

That Martin freeman one has me cackling because it reminds me of my favorite image on the internet of Tom hanks in that the last N word on earth poster with that goofy ass smile
Didn't the head of Marvel films say the same shit? Like an advanced country in Africa is too far fetched or something like that?
People should think about that for a second; A high tech country in Africa is too far fetched for a fucking comic book movie. Meanwhile, they're perfectly fine with an all-out alien invasion of New York orchestrated by a Norse god.

Kinda weird it's dropping in Dump Month.
Black History month!
To keep track on what others are doing, they also had a spy network.
No one every pays attention to the old black people that empty the trash or clean the toliets

It does attract them, they've just gotten their asses kicked.
There is no such thing anymore. Blockbusters can work in any month.

They really could have done better with the poster. It looks cheap and shitty.
But I have confidence in Ryan Coogler.

Now I'm laughing about how racists would feel about an advanced technological group of "Blacks from the moon".
I don't think they'd take it any better. They might take it worse
You do realize what month February is right?
Beyond the fact Deadpool dropped there last year...it's BHM

DEADPOOL made 130+ million in a weekend last year. Movies have been killing it in February for the last few years.
Think they're trying to get it out before Infinity War in May.
Yeah. Fifty Shades, Kingsmen, John Wick and Get Out have also done really well in February.
BP is gonna make all the monies lol
Thanks! Can't remember ever seeing these before.
I blame Spider-Man, he screwed up the Marvel schedule.
Anyways, February is Black History Month in the United States and his movie is the lead up to Infinity War so it's all good.

Ughhh, it was going so well until the French jab.
American Arrogance is a big part of that storyline
Which comic is that from?

To be fair, most comics with the government or military are like that.
Just finished reading an issue with The American Kaiju.
John Harker
Definitely doesn't make things up as he goes along.
Wow that poster looks like a bad case of "agency pitches concept, brand manager excitedly approves the pitch, agency does a crappy job bringing concept to reality, junior brand manager in charge doesn't bring to a better agency to take it to finish, runs out of time, panicks, give rushed feedback and approves v3"
there was also something going on with his ring in that scene, but I have to rewatch it

So is Cap going to be in this or is he MIA?
Nah, the noise was coming from Bucky's arm. T'Challa is using his right arm as leverage, pinning Bucky's arm down so he can bend it with his left arm. Only his arm doesn't bend cause it's his super metal arm. And that T'Challa can actually exert any kind of resistance on the arm at all is what's notable about that sequence. Basically T'Challa is like "WTF why can't I break this dude's arm?" and Bucky is like "WTF why can this dude actually grab and stop my arm?"
I was thinking about this yesterday. Not sure if Steve would be hanging around Wakanda. I got the feeling Steve just dropped Bucky off there so he could be looked after before going on his way with the rest of his group.

That's what I implied from the scene. I am holding out hope that T'Challa needs someone he can trust and wakes Bucky up for a team-up. I don't want to wait for Infinity War to see Bucky in action again.
Black Panther Volume 3 Number 1, the whole issue is Ross giving a breifing to the white house on why not to fuck with Wakanda

Come on, Marvel. T'Challa deserves better than some rush job poster.
Let's see someone put out a blockbuster in September before we say that
Ah that familiar photoshop shine.
Reminds me of the Thor 2: Dark World posters
That looks pretty good to me? *shrugs*

cmon thats a dope poster
I just don't like obviously photoshopped posters. I will concede that the Loki poster I posted manages to do it better than the BP one.
