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.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Jess, M'Baku did say they were vegetarians, but he also said that a fisherman rescued T'Challa.

WRT economy, I betcha vibranium is not the only natural resource Wakanda is rich in, and if unethical rich people and countries can use layers of shell companies and off-shore accounts to protect their nefarious evil, Wakanda had been using their considerable intelligence and political savvy to have a booming secret trade set up for centuries.
...guys I loved it so so so much. I cried I was so excited.

And Shuri is a memelord.
