I never thought about this while reading the books but the name vibranium really stood out to me in the movie.

If this isolationist nation were the first ones to encounter this element, and at that point they had no contact with any western peoples, why would they use a Latin suffix like “ium” in the name?

I wondered if anyone considered renaming it for the movie but I guess it’s already been mentioned a few times in other flicks. Still seemed like Wakanda should have its own name for this stuff.
