Let's not forget literal isolationism to the point of hiding from the entire world, thereby avoiding literally all conflict and ignoring the suffering of everyone around you while you jump ahead using your secret space metal. They seem to skip that part everytime in discussing it, despite that being incredibly important to how you can end up that far ahead.
Even with the main focus on the BP itself, its all spears and trial by combat for leadership. Showing that even with super magic space metal, Africans are still barbarians are heart. Something they also don't acknowledge it saying.
I've never watched the Black Panther movies, but correct me if I'm wrong, but the main focus is the superhero Black Panther, no?
I also haven't watched either film (and I never will), but it honestly has never looked that way. No one was talking about T'Challa or his actor in the first movie. It was always "Wakanda this, Wakanda that, Killmonger cool, and BLACK POWER!" Nobody was ever saying a fucking thing about the guy whose stupid name was in the title, or how good his actor supposedly was. It was only once Boseman died when suddenly everyone was going on about his amazing acting talent and how he was Black Panther, and blah, blah, blah. Makes me wonder if he was really that good of an actor, and/or if T'Challa was that memorable a superhero.

Don't forget the strict documentation of lineages and the super-secret vibranium lip tattoos to show who is a citizen and who isn't.
Killmonger was able to challenge Tchala for absolute monarchy because his dad was Tachaka's brother. They were cousins.
So this utopia is a black, isolationist ethnostate with leadership to the most savage brute with a spear. Then they built a wall.

Boseman also had the only good scene in Gods of Egypt.
Make of that what you will.
