Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I just got tickets for a 10:45 AM showing tomorrow. It's dangerous to wait longer.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
Timeline is a little squishy, TBH. Nothing quite maps correctly in terms of the CNN broadcast/the CW timeframe, though I'll handwave it into making sense next viewing.
I am going with Bucky not fixed yet until after the events of Black Panther, as Black Panther takes place just after Civil War and slightly before, I think, Homecoming. So I take fixed!Bucky as occurring at some general time after Black Panther.

ALSO NO HEADBAND, to bring it back to two years ago. I STAND 110% BEHIND MY STATEMENTS THEN.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
You guys, I cried so many times during this movie. Some for me, but a lot for ita.

Teppy, I share your questions about Wakanda's economy. I guess vibranium is so valuable that they can sell tiny bits to other governments every now and then when they need money to spend outside their own border?
I also question how a tribe living in a basically arctic climate is able to survive on a vegetarian diet, but WORTH IT for the laugh line so I'm happy to handwave.

The second credit scene! Little kids creeping around to stare at him and run giggling away! White Wolf! I wonder if Steve ever goes to sit next to him to sketch the view.
More after I've read all the spoiler font.
edit: re: the economy, if they've got spies across the world, I bet the merchant tribe has holding companies that filter out useful small things that bring in some money and resources. I wonder if the people grinding grain by hand might appreciate some mechanical aid with that.
I think Tony and Shuri would be babbling at each other and trash talking each other's work with Shuri being fascinated by Tony's AI's and Tony being thrilled by her maglevs.
Very cool.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
Agent Ross did say something about textiles when he was giving a rundown of Wakanda to Klaue. I assume that Wakanda maintains unofficial trade of the sort of items expected of a small "Third World" African nation in order to have capital they can use abroad. Even an allegedly poor African nation can probably buy some condemned apartment buildings in the ghetto without much difficulty.

Jess, M'Baku did say they were vegetarians, but he also said that a fisherman rescued T'Challa.
