everybody hope you're all doing good now
I'm excited for this topical video
because I'm not really much of a movie
buff but once every so often a preview
will catch my eye and after watching it
I decide I will wait a month and a half
after the movie premiere so that I could
go to the discount Regency theater on
half off Tuesdays to watch a movie for
once in my life dude I ain't gonna pay
no $15 at the ArcLight but one movie
that I'm actually kind of excited for is
Black Panther starring Chadwick Boseman
Michael B Jordan and Lupita Nyong'o I
actually kind of grew up appreciating
comic books and superheroes and
superhero movies and plotlines and all
that good stuff like I didn't collect
comics but I would go to the comic book
store and read the comics and then walk
out anyway the cool thing about Black
Panther is that it takes place in a
fictitious nation known as Wakanda and I
think what the Marvel Universe did to
this place is really cool before we get
into this though if you like heroes and
villains and battles are good friends

what Conda when it comes to Wakanda the
Marvel Universe has gone under a sub
genre known as afrofuturism a plot that
follows a timeline in which certain
areas and people groups of Africa have
developed beyond the cultures of the
planet now here's the thing according to
Marvel what Conda is supposed to be
located somewhere in sub-saharan Africa
however the location always kind of
seems to shift over the years sometimes
it's close to Lake Victoria sometimes
it's close to Lake Turkana some say it's
between Libya Ethiopia Kenya or Uganda
however to me if you look at all the
artists depictions of what what Conda
looks like it seems to be nestled in a
mountainous region nearby a major source
of water if that was the case I would
probably rule out Lake Victoria since
the land surrounding it is mostly a
flatter Basin with only small rolling
hills so then does that mean Lake
Turkana up north on the border of Kenya
and Ethiopia is a better option it kind
of since it lies right on the rift
valley mountain range however the
problem is that it's located in a dry
desert whereas every depiction of
Wakanda shows a lush green eco region so
if that was the case I would say
while Conda would most likely be located
somewhere in the vast uninhabited
regions of eastern Democratic Republic
of Congo most likely on Lake Edwards
shared with Uganda as you can find lush
green mountains just below Mount Stanley
right next to the body of water which is
relatively big now although other Lakes
like Lake Tanganyika and Lake IVA would
also be kind of good candidates I don't
think they would work because there's
already towns and settlements along the
coasts which would not give room for
what Conda
like Edward seems to be the only viable
candidate even though you can find small
villages on the mountains but still more
chance for Wakanda in terms of their
border demarcation
the country of olkhon de is almost
always depicted as a place that only has
sovereignty over its capital being
Zhanna as well as a few other towns
valleys and hills surrounding it divided
into tribal territories that unified
such as Canaan as Anja niganda and Mohan
de although there's no way to be
completely sure since most of the maps
don't contain a distance scale this
would mean that Wakanda being primarily
situated around a metropolitan center
with fuel and surrounding it would be
classified as a microstate similar to
Singapore or Monaco nonetheless that
would not be a problem for them because
according to the Marvel Universe Wakanda
is one of if not the most advanced
society on the planet they've developed
their own advanced computer systems
hovering aircrafts from birth every
citizen has provided key Moyo beads that
are not only used for communication but
also monitors their health and records
medical history supposedly they also
have a cure for cancer but are reluctant
to share it with the outside world one
council member even saying that if they
the outside world cared about their
people's health they wouldn't sell
cigarettes speaking of which the
governmental system of Wakanda is pretty
unique too according to the Marvel
Universe what Conda is ruled by the King
otherwise known as the Black Panther
which is where the hero comes from the
Black Panther is not only the king but
also the religious figurehead as they
follow ties to the eniac ancient beings
that they believed visited earth long
ago and were worshipped in Egypt first
the Black Panther also has to prove his
worth with a series of combat and herbal
rituals usually the role is hereditary
but it can be challenged by anybody in
the kingdom in a combat ceremony which
is where part of the plotline comes from
with Michael B Jordan character the
history of Wakanda is pretty shrouded in
mystery however according to Marvel it
starts a long time ago when a huge
meteorite containing vibranium the metal
that Captain America's shield is made
out of struck an area that the locals
noticed and built a mound to cover up as
it became their most prized resource
that allowed them to advance and
flourish the national language of
Wakanda is wakandan which I would assume
is possibly maybe
to base or maybe even cou ik based
if they still hold the ties to ancient
Egypt as portrayed in the comic books it
could even be like an evolved dialect of
the ancient nubian language that went
extinct in the South Nile area the major
resource of the country is of course
vibranium they have used this mineral to
turn them into one of the most
economically stable nations on the
planet
apparently vibranium is sold at ten
thousand dollars per gram and what
conda's sacred mount is estimated to
have about ten thousand tons of the
material they have their own military
composed of an Army Navy and Air Guard
as well as the former ha toot sera se or
secret police which is where Lupita
nyong'o's character comes in whereas the
King is protected by the door Amelia J a
devoted female warrior bodyguard trained
in a facility known as the opanka the
country also has their own council of
elders known as the Typhon now made up
of 18 United tribes they have their own
intelligence agency known as Pride
princess Regent Intelligence Division
executives their technology is
incredibly advanced with independently
developed computer systems they have
hovercraft teleportation machines one
thing I really appreciate though just by
looking at the trailer is the aesthetic
research that they pulled off they
incorporated a lot of pan-african
elements into a cyber futuristic setting
that doesn't sacrifice any of the
indigenous undertones they have body
modification customs like the scar
patterns on Michael B Jordans character
Erik kill monger Stephens resemble those
of the Mercian Surma tribes of Ethiopia
certain characters have lip plates bead
artwork you know small little details
like that overall I'm pretty excited I
mean I don't know exactly how the plot
line is gonna unfold
apparently there's a car chase scene
that happens in a busy city section of
Korea for some reason so I'm down for
that we I mean overall I'm just pretty
excited for this movie and I think one
of the reasons why is because Africa is
always usually kind of marginalized in
media and for once for once it's just in
the spotlight in a powerful beautiful
cinematic experience and I like that I
like that anyway that's just my kind of
take on Wakanda hope you liked it
subscribe if you'd like and stay cool
stay tuned
