A brief thought and invitation for discussion on Shuri in Avengers 4:
Avengers: Infinity War (spoilers) and rumours about Avengers 4 below!
So I’ve heard (in a YouTube video, I can find the link if anyone wants it) that Avengers 4 is going to take place 5 YEARS after IW.
Now, leaving aside the devasting thought of how everyone will deal with loosing their loved one/s for five fucking years
Does this mean that Shuri will be, not only the QUEEN of Wakanda, but also it’s defender? She’s taken on the mantle of Black Panther in the comics in the past (I believe). But since the purple flowers that gave T’Challa his super strength/speed/agility were destroyed by Killmonger, do we think that she’ll rely on tech?
I just want to talk to someone about this bc I haven’t seen anyone mention it yet and honestly the thought of Shuri being BP and Queen makes me excited
Not to sure about the 5 years since the main rumor is that there is going to be a lot of time travel going on in the new film. I know guardians of the galaxy 3 will take place 5 years after the events of the 4th avengers movie. But Spider-Man homecoming 2 will take place literally 5 minuets after the 4th avengers film. Now shuri did become the queen and black Panther in the comics . And technically she’s next in line after her brother so right now she’s is Queen of Wakanda. More than likely she’s rely on her tech for strength and speed or she find a way to replicate the flower with biochemistry.
When the time of men came, five tribes settled on it and called it Wakanda. The tribes lived in constant war with each other, until a warrior shaman received a vision from the panther goddess Bast, who led him to the Heart-Shaped Herb, a plant that granted him superhuman strength, speed and instincts. The warrior became king and the first Black Panther, the protector of Wakanda. Four tribes agreed to live under the king’s rule, but the Jabari tribe isolated themselves in the mountains.
