A highly isolationist, mineral based economy... becomes a technological powerhouse and economically prosperous with an oligarchy supporting a monarchy.

Its a comic book, its meant to inspire. At least what way is nice.

Been watching your channel the past couple days and have come to realise you're a shill. Why is your video on black panther chunked into like 5 different videos instead of just being one vid?
@
I want to become a black scientist
@
Thanks for a great video!!! You are helping me with my Politics and Film class.

So Shiri is your new favorite role model in Marvel films, someone who makes a completely racist statement, "great another broken white boy for us to fix! Also the entire premise of Wakanda, a technologically advanced place hidden from the rest of the world with super smart people and yet they still use combat to the death to pick their ruler? Yea makes perfect sense to me as does the tech being based solely on this mysterious element that has given them superpowers. I thought you were objective until listening to your woke diatribe but thanks for turning me off of your channel completely. "oh it's just so important to show Wakanda as being this fantasy world of super intelligent black people". Why? Just to make Marvel films more woke?

Shuri is not a scientist though.
More like an engineer creating products for the military.

It would be interesting to see if there will be an impact

Another woke white guilt tripper. Unsubbed

I live in cape town. I am African.
I love science...and so do my sisters.
They have never needed a "Black Role Model" ....just great scientists to inspire them.
...is this channel going "Woke"?
Cause that would really suck.

Well, wasn't wakanda extremely isolationist? Role model for black girls sure, but not really strong on global collaboration. Plus, for more balance, you could cover how well, historically, isolationist countries did on grounds of science.

Awesome video, good you're back!

Great Video! You made realise how much of an impact a well thought-through side character can have on a child's life. You don't think about stuff like that when most of the characters in most movies fits your apparance or gender.
