Japan had a thousand plus years of contact with other countries before they decided to become isolated. .

Wakanda politics bothered me greatly when I watched the film. An isolationist city-state that repeatedly says they do not trade with the outside world at all. Yes they have Vibranium, but it is so plentiful within the region they made farming tools out of the stuff. But no trading with the stuff is ever done. No intelectual trade either. The ruling form is a tribalistic fascism where rulers are chosen with trial by combat alone, and once in power they demand absolute loyalty from their underlings no matter how crazy their ideas. The idea that this culture could evolve into a futuristic utopia when they are constantly just a fistfight away from descending into civil war. That they still cannot look past skin color when deciding who to help. That this is a culture to be admired and looked up to qccording to the MCU. It bothers me greatly...

Most advanced society on Earth: Still uses spears, ascension by combat, ritual scarrification, and an absolute monarchy. Makes sense.

0:52 Smart but also sweet summer child... if other countries wanted they would wipe them out in an instant. Like Sandoman said "knowledge is also a way to fight back"

Great chanel I subbed, my question is though, do you read your comments and do you respond to your fans?

"when we let the refugees in, Wakanda becomes like everything else" anyone else had to laugh about that line?

Too much Cinema, too little science in this one! :-(

5th!

It's interesting to see where you will give them a pass and where you will compare a movie to our current scientific knowledge. It sorts reminds me of how in The Simpsons, an outrageous situation may be met by normal human astonishment/outrage/etc such as you would expect from somebody in our culture, or may be treated as if it's normal in their universe or even built upon with a yet more abnormal reaction. I think you are trying to find interesting parallels. So when a vibranium suit is hit with something, the fantasy science almost completely absorbs the kinetic energy and allows the wearer to reuse that energy - and this is compared to piezoelectricity and electromagnatism. But we ignore the momentum, which can't be so easily transformed (big problem in a lot of science fiction, of course). So maybe you can use the "magic" (a generous interpretation of Clarke's phrase) to teach some science, and that's more your purpose than analysis per se. Good goal, so I won't complain. And you are having fun, which is good. But intellectually the unevenness is just a bit unsatisfying...

Hasn't anyone heard of North Korea? It is also isolated like wakanda.

The difference is that Japan attacked many other nations and killed millions.

South Africa was technologically advanced during the apartheid era with limited relations with the outside world.

El Dorado had nothing to do with Africa. Wakanda has no similarity to do with Feudal Japan since the rest of the world knew that Japan was there. This is a strange channel, looking for science, in a superhero fantasy. You might as well look for common sense in a political manifesto.
