Logically over advanced


Anyone think Wakanda is over advanced beyond logic.

There's a lot missing in the movie, sure. However, as far as I understand vibranium's radiation causes mutation so these peeps are not strictly speaking human. Possibly their brain chemistry is different from ours and allows them to advance and develop their culture and science in other ways.

Making it more advanced is actually a curse as now wakanda as opened itself to the world. Will these technology be part of future MCU movie of how the world will be depicted.

reply

YES. BUT. It's a comic book movie so it doesn't matter. Superman can fly. Spiderman can you know do spider things. LOL.

reply

Yeah!

If Superman can fly and Batman can spend decades fighting criminals without ever getting shot, then having large quantities of vibranium makes it easy to build super technology.

reply

Batman gets shot all of the time, but he has body armor. They don't know to go for the face I guess.

reply

Okay, how about Batman spends years getting into vicious fights every night without permanent damage while professional fighters only get a couple of fights a year for a few years before damage sets in?

reply

At least the Nolan films made it clear that being Batman had a physical toll. But the Marvel films don't! All their superheroes are perfectly physically healthy, even the ones who are un-enhanced humans.

So let me rephrase my original metaphor: If Tony Stark can build a suit of flying armor with rockets in the heels out of scraps in a terrorist cave in the world of the Marvel films, than building super technology is EASY if you've got peace and an unlimited supply of vibranium.

Which comes back to the basic thing we agree on.

You have to buy into the concept. You can’t complain about Black Panther but be okay with Iron Man, Falcon, Captain America, the Hulk.....all examples of ridiculous technology.

Black Panther fits right in and frankly, having read the comics for decades, find the enhancements made to his suit thanks to vibranium to be a very welcome and overdue upgrade

I feel like the technological capabilities of Wakanda are more grounded in reality compared to all the other "magical" comic-book cities.

Perhaps that's the problem people have with it. With Wakanda being half-grounded in reality, you kinda focus on the impossibilities of it. But with Atlantis and the Microverse, you suspend more of your disbelief because it's so unrealistic.

reply

Fair enough point, that being "half-grounded in reality" obliges Wakanda to have credibly advanced tech, but not ridiculously advanced

BUT ... we've also seen Stark's tech advance to a nearly absurd degree, without vibranium, so it's not like Wakanda's that far afield

Also, we're talking about a magic metal that absorbs all kinetic energy, fires off energy without moving parts, can avoid metal detection, etc. etc. Throughout human history, we've seen paradigm-shifting technological advancements that radically change the course of civilization, often in unpredictable ways. Given all its unique qualities, vibranium would have to be at least as influential as bronze, iron, gunpowder, electricity, computers, etc.

reply

Tony Stark was over advanced beyond logic in Iron Man 1 ten years ago. I hardly think it matters at this point.

reply

Not even remotely the same logic. He is an individual genius who invented his tech using wealth handed down to him from his father. Wakanda is an advanced civilization hiding in a modern world that would absolutely have to be a part of it's trade economy to allow it to gain the wealth that it had to be able to grow technologically. Lol, they can't get rich selling Vibranium to themselves. I have no issues with sci-fi tech, because who can say what they next genius can develop, but simple global trade economics providing for a giant cities development and sustainability are simply impossible in a self contained situation like Wakanda.

reply

If I didn't know better I swore it was a comic book movie. Based off a comic book.

reply

Seriously...

...Wakanda and its tech doesn’t defy logic any more than the simple but incredible superhero landing (and numerous other impossibilities seen in superhero movies) does.

In short, no it’s not for this kind of movie. Smh
