Black Panther: Wakanda Forever

Or vice versa. The initial scenes of people in bulky diving suits preparing to drop into the water looked to have far too conventional equipment to be Wakandans.

Well traditionally Namor has a hate on for how land dwellers abuse "their" oceans.

If the MCU oceans are as full of micro plastics as the real world oceans are, he has a right to be pissed. And that is in addition to all the garbage and nuclear waste and toxic chemicals, etc, that was the original issue in the 60's and 70's for Namor.

Yup alot of WW2 stuff ended up in the ocean.

Some of it had nuclear help getting there.

Given that the MCU Earth got five years with only half the population, it might have gotten a bit of a reprieve compared to our Earth.

Yeah there are cities in the world that reported the first smog free day in years during the height of the quarrantine, just because of how much less driving and industry was going on. The world with only half the population could heal quite a bit in 5 years.

there's a throw away line about Cap seeing Whales in the Hudson or off of NYC anyway for the first time in a long time I think

The orginal Namor comic had the WW2 Allies looking for vibranium on the sea floor near Atlantis, which lead to Namors human father meeting his mother and breeding before his father was killed.

What. In the world. Are you TALKING about?

The original Namor comic, a story in the anthology Marvel Comics #1, reprinting a story from the ashcan Motion Picture Funnies Weekly, portrays Namor as having been the product of a liaison between a surface human male and an Atlantean princess ... that took place in 1920, nearly two decades before the publication of the story, which happened in April 1939, before World War II broke out! And vibranium would not appear in the comics until the 1960s!

 

[Umbran]

It almost seems natural that there's going to be a backstory of "Atlantis was sunk by the same meteor that gave Wakanda its vibranium supply." Folks go looking for vibranium outside Wakanda (because of course they would - nobody likes a monopoly), find Atlantis, Atlanteans feel that is an incursion and get cheesed off....

Okay yeah getting my timelines confused due to the involvement of Winstone Churchill - he was the one who authorised the expedition to Antarctica to find Vibranium for in the War (I assumed WW 2, rather than WW 1 as that was when Vibranium was used in an experimental tank)

The story of Namors origins is indeed from 1966

 

[Thomas Shey]

The speculation I've seen, given some reading into a couple scenes, is that Doom (yes, that Doom) sends an expedition down to the ocean floor trying to find vibranium fragments, and then frames the Wakandans for it.
