** Alternately, the defender fights one challenger at a time, and they rest and use Wakandan tech to heal back up to full strength. If multiple tribes want to challenge, they decide after each fight whether they want to challenge the victor. It's possible in that scenario that either the defender proves his mettle to the other challengers, or the challenger wins and the other challengers decide to back down because they don't have an issue with the victor.

** There's plenty of evidence that shows Wakandans aren't stingy in taking some bits of Western trends and making it their own. The chief of the River Tribe has a Western style suit made from Wakandan textiles, and Shuri's 'sneakers' are directly drawn from Film/BackToTheFuture (plus she's into internet memes). There's no outright disdain for foreign influence, but anything foreign is likely to be Wakandanized to suit the preferences of its citizens.

* In the Black Panther movie, the world believes Wakanda is an isolationist Third World country with no rich resources and few exports yet in the other movies like Age of Ultron and Civil War, the world knows that Wakanda is rich with Vibranium since it was the metal Ultron used in his insane plans and what Captain America's shield is made of. So why does the movie have conflicting information about Wakanda pretending to be a poor nation with nothing when in secret it's technologically advanced and rich with Vibranium when the previous movies reveal it's that one isolationist nation the world knows has the rare but expensive Vibranium? Even Bruce was able to get old records of the Klaue family rivalry with the Black Panthers online.

** Being "rich with" a resource existing nowhere else on the planet could just as easily mean "has enough of it to (maybe) fill a car trunk" as "has a whole mountain of the stuff". Before this film, non-Wakandans had simply assumed the former.

[[folder: Shuri's change of outfit]]
* Right before joining the final battle, Shuri has a complete change in her appearance. She changed her clothes, put her hair up into a bun, and has very detailed war paint all over her face. How was she able to do all of that in what appears to be 30 seconds in movie time, and why would she bother when the battle was already going? Honestly, I wouldn't even be caring about this if it wasn't for that moment earlier in the film where she made fun of T'Challa for having to physically put on his helmet. However long it took her to do all those things, it would have taken longer than it takes to put on a helmet.

** Killmonger's backstory is that he was a Navy SEAL and specifically one proficient at toppling governments. Irregular warfare is explicitly his strength. In his plan, Wakanda's War Dogs would behave exactly the way US Special Forces often do: training, arming, and directing a local resistance against the hostile government, which is part of the message of the film.

* W'Kabi's decision to instantly turn on T'Challa never made any sense to me. The two shared a friendship that seemed to extend beyond their stations, and T'Challa jumped at the opportunity to capture Klaue. T'Challa's failure would obviously be disappointing, but it seems counter-intuitive that it would inspire W'Kabi turning away from T'Challa and embracing the man who facilitated Klaue's escape in the first place. Even if W'Kabi didn't explicitly know Erik broke Klaue out, he's smart enough to be suspicious of a man who came out of nowhere with the body of his father's killer. And even if he wasn't, supporting Klaue's claim to the throne and the reordering of Wakanda's entire geopolitical mission is a huge leap.

If he says it is lost and yet has the herb burnedburned, which would make it even more lost with no kings after him, what do you think he gains from doing so? Righting the wrongs? How does that act make things better for anyone? As for not using other means to want to burn the world, you could say the same thing about not using other ways to change the status quo and end black oppression. (like the solution that T'Challa ends up using at the end of the movie to try to achieve that) There's a reason his own character page lists Killmonger as a NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist. He spilled it out in the final battle his true motivation when he dismisses being called out on how his plan would destroy the world, Wakanda included, because the world took everything from "him".

** I'm not certain (and where in the world did the director even say it?) that taking on the world and wanting Wakanda destroyed is that different, especially given the above justifications he thinks he has to think it counts as an oppressor. Plus, him destroying the heart shaped herb and the consequences of doing so as mentioned above, should be proof enough at him directing his rage at Wakanda is accurate.
