Bloodless Carnage: Shuri is impaled on a spear by Namor and pulls herself down the shaft, all without losing any blood due to the Black Panther suit sealing over the wound. Wakandan soldiers fall into the water in the final battle, where they quickly get slaughtered by the Talokians who are in their own element. Despite the amount of deaths by bladed weapons, the water stays a pristine blue. | |

Darker and Edgier | |
| Black Panther: Wakanda Forever / int_14beeefd | comment |
Darker and Edgier: The first Black Panther film had an overall optimistic mood, and while there were several deaths, T'Challa remained positive for both his own personal life and the direction of Wakandan politics. This one begins with the Happy Ending Override of T'Challa's death, which clouds the entirety of the film. Shuri’s guilt and grief is a contrast from her cheerful self in the first film and only gets worse when her vengeful self emerges after her mother Ramonda’s death at Namor's hands. The stakes are also higher in the third act where instead of a Wakandan civil war, it’s a war between two nations. And unlike the first film's arguable Earn Your Happy Ending, the sequel's ending is undeniably a Bittersweet Ending. | |

Simple Solution Won't Work: With the danger of facing an unknown enemy without the advantage of vibranium the Mining Tribe Elder is quick to say they should do as Namor says, locate and give him the creator of the vibranium detector. M'Baku shoots that down, pointing out there's nothing to suggest that it's a one time deal and he won't keep holding the threat of war over their heads to keep them doing what he wants forever. | |

| Black Panther: Wakanda Forever / int_17122cfd | comment |
Put on a Prison Bus: W'Kabi is mentioned during Okoye's trial as still being in prison, but he is not seen at all in the movie. Justified, as Daniel Kaluuya was unable to reprise the role due to scheduling conflicts with Nope. Subverted with Everett Ross. At Val's machinations, he's shown being transferred to a prison facility near the end of the film, complete with orange jumpsuit. However, Okoye stops the vehicle he's in, defeats the guards and frees him, allowing him to escape. | |

The Worf Effect | |
| Black Panther: Wakanda Forever / int_178ca149 | comment |
The Worf Effect: M'Baku attempts to hit Namor from behind with his staff... Which shatters in half upon contact. Namor replies by punching him in the chest hard enough to knock him into a hut, leaving him whimpering and gasping for air. Likewise, the otherwise insurmountably deadly Okoye is badly beaten by Attuma and his Talokan soldiers, only surviving because Attuma plays fair in a fight. | |

Diegetic Soundtrack Usage: An eerie wailing sound plays as the Talokan soldiers arrive around the American ship, which is gradually revealed to be from a sonic weapon they use. The opening riff of Red Hot Chili Peppers' "Can't Stop" plays over a transition shot of the United States — and it turns out to be Everett Ross listening to the song in his earbuds while jogging. | |

Underestimating Badassery | |
| Black Panther: Wakanda Forever / int_1a8dc238 | comment |
Underestimating Badassery: The movie has a subtle thread of people underestimating Shuri’s skills. Shuri has already successfully convinced Riri Williams to go to Wakanda with her, only for Okoye to intervene, which only scares Riri. During their fight in the dessert, Namor chooses to fight Shuri on land instead of taking her to the ocean. This only serves to further dehydrate him and allows Shuri to chop off his wings and gain the upper hand. | |

| Black Panther: Wakanda Forever / int_1b3b48f3 | comment |
David Versus Goliath: Even after dosing herself with the Heart-Shaped Herb and forcibly dehydrating her opponent immediately beforehand it is clear that Shuri is at a vast physical disadvantage during her final confrontation with Namor; requiring sonic weapons and vibranium claws to actually damage him directly atop only lasting as long as she did because Namor was dehydrated and she rendered him unable to fly as swiftly as possible. | |

GrayAndGreyMorality | |
| Black Panther: Wakanda Forever / int_1b44c21 | comment |
Gray-and-Grey Morality: None of the factions in this film are evil, nor are they saints: The United States has good reason to be unhappy about Wakanda having a monopoly on the power of vibranium, considering Killmonger showed how easily Wakanda's power could fall into the hands of a psychopath. Since no one was aware of the existence of the Talokanil, they had every reason to think that they had the right to mine vibranium outside Wakanda. Of course, the look on Val's face when she imagines what America could do with the power of vibranium indicates that it's best America doesn't have any, and it's strongly implied that the US was fixing for any reason to start a fight and steal vibranium when Wakanda outed itself - and now the US has one. Namor has every reason to distrust the surface world and want to keep the existence of his people a secret. Unfortunately, in his legitimate desire to protect his people he's very quick to jump to Murder Is the Best Solution, even when his targets don't intend him any harm. He kills the Americans mining his vibranium and blames the Wakandans for the world searching for vibranium, which is rather unreasonable considering neither knew of Talokan's existence. Wakanda, especially Queen Ramonda, is very dismissive of the above valid concerns, and she's very quick to antagonize Namor, instead of listening to him and trying to find a non-murderous solution to his problems. | |

Poor Communication Kills: Shuri choosing to visit Talokan with Riri as a diplomatic envoy rather than a hostage was a good plan, but unfortunately she failed to leave any sign or word with Okoye that would make Wakanda aware of this. Their assumptions that she is a prisoner led to an escalation of the conflict and the death of Ramonda herself. | |

Stealth Pun | |
| Black Panther: Wakanda Forever / int_1e7c47ab | comment |
Stealth Pun: A cross-cultural one, even, with bit of Mayincatec thrown in: the comic book version of Namor hails from Atlantis, and, therefore, his people are known as Atlanteans. In this film, Namor's people are descended from a Mayan tribe, and his true name is K'uk'ulkan, another epithet for the Mexica, and Toltec deity, Quetzalcoatl. In Toltec tradition, Quetzalcoatl founded the city of Tula, but the devotees of the rival deity, Tezcatlipoca, expelled Quetzalcoatl's followers and they fled to Yucatan, founding various Mayan cities. But back in Tula, there exists a group of great stone columns depicting Quetzalcoatl in warrior attire. It is believed these columns held up a long-gone roof, therefore, they have been given the name of "the Atlanteans of Tula." Therefore, Mayan Namor still has his Atlantean warriors. | |

Chekhov's Gun: Before Ramonda takes Shuri on a private trip to grieve she tells Shuri to leave her earrings behind as they're also Kimoyo beads. When Shuri is taken by the Talokanil, Ramonda tells her AI to track her earrings which she was still wearing. One of the diving suits belonging to the scientists inspecting the vibranium-seeking machine is reused to allow Shuri to see Talokan in all its glory. The vibranium-seeking machine itself is used to lure Namor and the Talokanil to the deep ocean to begin the final battle. The bracelet that Namor gives to Shuri. He mentions that it was woven with fibers from the vibranium-infused plant that granted the people of Talokan their mutations. Since this means that it has similar properties to the Heart-Shaped Herb, Shuri is able to use the fibers to create a synthetic version of the herb. | |

Only Sane Man: M'Baku and Ross play this role for their respective peoples. M'Baku initially suggested killing Namor, pointing out that giving him what he wanted would set a dangerous precedent, then later argued against killing Namor when he realized that doing so would make eternal enemies of the Talokanil. Meanwhile, Ross tried his utmost to cool tensions between Wakanda and the United States, is well aware of how his country would behave if it had the world's Vibranium, and grateful that the Wakandans haven't gone down that road. | |

Mythology Gag | |
| Black Panther: Wakanda Forever / int_26ac510e | comment |
Mythology Gag: Wakanda is flooded by Namor, just as he does in the Avengers vs. X-Men event, Namor empowered by the Phoenix Force flooded Wakanda. The priest in the flashback called Namor "a child without love." That's not too dissimilar from the meaning of his name in the comics, which is "Avenging Son." Namor says his Catchphrase "Imperius Rex" (in Mayan) once Shuri does a last stand on him. The alliance Namor proposes between Talokan and Wakanda has shades of the Atlantis/Latveria alliance in the comics. Talokan's attack on the U.S.' vibranium mining ship brings Namor's portrayal as a horrifying terror of the seas in Sub-Mariner: The Depths to mind, especially when Namor himself is seen cloaked in shadows after he sends Dr. Graham's helicopter to a watery grave. Namor's crown is in the form of a serpent. This is a homage to the Serpent Crown, an artifact that appeared in the Sub-Mariner comics. In a deleted scene, Agent Ross knocks out and impersonates a British intelligence agent called Clive Reston, a supporting character of Shang-Chi. Ross as Reston is there to pick up intel of a rogue spy called the Spymaster, an Iron Man villain in the comics. | |

| Black Panther: Wakanda Forever / int_2711e392 | comment |
From the CIA's point of view, Ross is this when he advises them against action against Wakanda. He correctly states they have no idea of Wakanda military capacity and striking them without actionable intelligence is dangerously stupid. Furthermore, they almost illegally arrested the crown princess of Wakanda, nearly triggering a serious international incident. True to their portrayal, the government dismisses Ross's advice until Val vouches for him. | |

Subhuman Surfacing Shot: While Queen Ramonda is burning T'Challa's funeral garments, Namor emerges smoothly from the water, so Shuri and Queen Ramonda can tell he's not fully human from the get-go. Once he emerges, he levitates because he has Mercury's Wings. Queen Ramonda and Shuri are unsettled by this. | |

Mayincatec | |
| Black Panther: Wakanda Forever / int_2af0378f | comment |
Mayincatec: Namor's people are descended from Sixteenth-century Mayan tribes who fled the Spanish conquest and begged the rain god Chaac for salvation. They speak Yucatecan Maya, wear age- and region-appropriate attire, and refer to their lord as K'uk'ulkan—the Feathered Serpent known also as Quetzalcoatl to the Mexica. He also wears a headdress that is highly reminiscent of sculptures and engravings of said god across Mayan temples and cultural sites. Actor Tenoch Huerta claimed to have learned the Mayan language in preparation for the film, as both he and his costars speak it exclusively among themselves. However, their hidden realm is named Talokan, a derivative of Tlalocan, the domain of the Mexica rain and fire god Tlaloc and the afterlife paradise for victims of floods and drowning. | |

French Jerk: The French government figures are depicted as aggressive neocolonialist hypocrites who openly attack scientific outposts meant to improve African diaspora communities. Queen Ramona's argument against the UN French rep attacking Wakanda's "aggression" is to simply show her the French mercenaries behind one of the attacks. That said, the US isn't any better, and is likely even worse. | |

Misplaced Retribution | |
| Black Panther: Wakanda Forever / int_2e8875f0 | comment |
Misplaced Retribution: Ramonda has never forgiven Okoye or the Council of Elders for siding with Killmonger in the first film after he beat T'Challa (and doing nothing while her family fled the country). While there's merit to the Council's guilt, Okoye's a bit more complicated. While she recognized all too well that Killmonger was bad business, she was also trapped between her loyalty to the Royal Family and her legal obligations as the General of the Dora Milaje. To her credit, she did not hesitate when an opportunity for Loophole Abuse arose (i.e. T'Challa's survival invaliding Killmonger's victory). Namor wishes the Wakandans to bring "the scientist" who invented the vibranium-detecting device to him, with the implication that said scientist would be executed for endangering Talokan's secrecy and safety. However, not only is the inventor of the device a teenage college student who had simply designed it for a metallurgy class and had no idea her work would be used in such a way, it is heavily implied that the CIA appropriated it without notice, so exacting retribution upon the original inventor will not solve the issue anymore. | |

Furthermore, Namor's trips to the surface mean he has learned both modern Mayan and Spanish as well. However, the Spaniards from the sixteenth century speak modern-day Mexican Spanish. | |

Infernal Background: Downplayed. When Killmonger is speaking to Shuri in the ancestral plane, manipulating her into becoming vengeful and wrathful like him, pillars of fire rise up one by one in the room and in the area outside. They don't completely fill the background, but they do get more prominent as the scene goes on. Considering that an evil man in the spiritual realm is manipulating someone, the Satanic imagery is very clear. | |

In fact, their invasion of Wakanda makes it clear that they could have easily invaded the surface world at almost any time since the Mayan era. They only decide to make a move when their civilization is at risk of being discovered. | |

No Plans, No Prototype, No Backup: When the CIA confiscated Riri's vibranium-detecting device, they took it wholesale and immediately put it to use in the field without attempting to understand or reverse-engineer it. Once Namor takes it, it's gone, and the US government is completely unable to build a second device. This puts pressure on the authorities to take Riri into custody to have her build a replacement. Riri, on the other hand, does have the designs in her laptop, locked behind such advanced encryption it would take a quantum computer to break through it. | |

This Means War!: While Namor was already rather leery of Wakanda, after Nakia kills one of his warriors to save Shuri, while Ramonda distracts him, Namor takes this as confirmation of his fears of the surface, and makes the decision to go to war. Shuri even outright says this when she tries to get Nakia's kimoyo beads so she can treat the warrior (although, unfortunately, it's too late for even Wakandan medical care). | |

Villainous Legacy | |
| Black Panther: Wakanda Forever / int_3a29c5c8 | comment |
Villainous Legacy: While Killmonger has been dead in-universe for the better part of a decade now, his actions in the first film continue to haunt Wakanda. The destruction of the Heart-Shaped Herb left T'Challa the last of the Black Panthers (to say nothing of weakening Wakanda's military leading up to the Infinity War — a repercussion which, in its own way, arguably contributed to Thanos' initial victory). The destruction of the Herb also robbed T'Challa of a potential cure for his illness. The internal divisions Killmonger created and exploited have also never fully been healed (ex. Ramonda has never forgiven the Council of Elders or Okoye for siding with him). This gets defied during the movie itself, where Shuri's desire for vengeance against Namor for Ramonda's death causes Killmonger to appear before her in the Ancestral Plane rather than Ramonda as she expected. He stokes her vengeful behavior despite M'Baku's warnings that killing Namor would result in a cataclysmic Forever War between Wakanda and Talokanil. It's only at the last second that Shuri manages to stay her hand and offer Namor a truce, but Killmonger's actions nearly caused even further carnage. | |

| Black Panther: Wakanda Forever / int_3e95582f | comment |
The Greatest Story Never Told: Applicable from the perspective of nations worldwide. Shuri defeats Namor, the leader of Talokan, thus leaving the latter at her mercy. She instead gracefully offers a truce between Wakanda and Talokan, also ensuring Talokan largely remains a secret to the rest of the other nations and thus keeping Namor's own ambitions at bay - for the time being at least. This however means Wakanda takes the blame for all the prior attacks by Talokan on the surface world. | |

Bittersweet Ending: Ultimately, Shuri chooses to let go of her vengeance at the very last second and makes peace with Namor, who accepts her truce offer, and the conflict between Wakanda and Talokan is stopped before it escalates into an all-out war. However, it's an alliance of convenience at best, with Namor stating that with the rest of the world focused on Wakanda — a country that is now at its weakest state due to the loss of all but one of its royal family members — Talokan can continue to hide in the depths while it is Wakanda that needs their help for protection against its numerous enemies. On the other hand, Shuri succeeds in saving Riri Williams and recreates the Heart-shaped Herb, ensuring that the legacy of the Black Panther can live on once more and that Wakanda still has its greatest protector defending it, and it's revealed that Nakia had a son with T'Challa before his untimely death who is now living a normal life free from the conflicts of the world, giving both Nakia and Shuri some much-needed reprieve after the loss of T'Challa. | |

Killed to Uphold the Masquerade | |
| Black Panther: Wakanda Forever / int_44880a8c | comment |
Talokan is a hidden kingdom created by indigenous people of colonized land and was established by a champion given a magical herb thanks to a vision from their god, just like Wakanda. They also have a superpowered champion they believe has a connection to a deity. In fact, it's implied that the herb that mutated Talokanil is related to Wakandan Heart-Shaped Herb, when Shuri uses the former to synthetically recreate the latter. However, while Talokanil were refugees escaping colonization, Wakandan tribes had no contact with Europeans, instead being threatened by civil war. Also, Wakanda eventually ended their isolation and chose to share technology for the common good, while Talokan stayed hidden, taking extreme measures to remain undetected. | |

Break the Cutie | |
| Black Panther: Wakanda Forever / int_4b316d47 | comment |
Break the Cutie: Shuri goes through quite the wringer. Years prior, her father was murdered. She gets turned to dust for 5 years. Her brother dies from an illness she is unable to save him from. She carries that guilt for over a year. Her people come under attack. Her mother drowns. When she takes the Heart-Shaped Herb, instead of getting to see a close family member, she comes face to face with Killmonger, who gives her a "Not So Different" Remark speech that breaks her down into a Roaring Rampage of Revenge. In the end, she is able to pull herself back together after everything that has happened to her. | |

Huge Guy, Tiny Girl: Though Shuri is taller than most women in the movie, she is absolutely dwarfed by the men. M’Baku is a foot taller and more than twice as broad, which makes an interesting contrast when she strong-arms him into supporting her plan to declare war against Namor. Namor is only a few inches taller but is much broader, which is very obvious during their fight. | |

Book Ends: Phase 3 ended with the death of Tony Stark and, as such, the retirement of Iron Man, with the final movie in the lineup having an arc about whether Peter Parker will be the next Iron Man. Phase 4, as a means to tie up the entire Central Theme of how people grieve in their own way and how it's time to pass the torch to the new generation, has a spiritual torch-passing, as it's Riri who inherits the role, though as Ironheart. Phase 4's first movie involved a cameo from Valentina De Fontaine in The Stinger (not unlike Nick Fury's cameo). This, being the last movie in Phase 4, is her full debut. | |

Killmonger's genuinely surprised and impressed his aunt actually chose to save an outsider over a Wakandan (especially as, in her place, T'Chaka would almost certainly have let Riri drown). Killmonger's similarly impressed Shuri's gone to the lengths she has to protect a non-Wakandan. | |

In the first movie, Klaue claimed that legends of El Dorado where actually about Wakanda and its store of vibranium and conquistadors were just way off the mark on where it was located. Here it's revealed that there really is a city of vibranium that conquistadors would have believed was around South America, probably started when Namor and his people sacked a village they colonized. | |

Pragmatic Adaptation: In order to avoid there being two superhero film franchises involving Atlantis, Namor is now the ruler of Talokan, named after the realm of the water god Tlaloc from Aztec Mythology. Even the origin of Namor and the Talokanil was changed to better distinguish them from their DC counterparts, with them instead being Mayans who undertook a transformation via a potion/concoction/elixir to escape the Conquistadors and founded a nation under the waves, with Namor having been in his mother's womb when the transformation took place. | |

| Black Panther: Wakanda Forever / int_6293c185 | comment |
Sequel Hook: Downplayed. Two minor hooks are set up for Disney+ spin-offs that involve characters seen in this show, but not for the Black Panther franchise as a whole. After helping defeating Namor, Riri Williams is shown giving up her Vibranium Starktech suit to Shuri before being escorted back home, setting her up for her own Ironheart series. Near the end of the film, Okoye rescues Everett Ross from being imprisoned, but results in him having to go on the run. This ties into his appearance in Secret Invasion (which Ross was confirmed to appear in shortly before this film's theatrical release). | |

Viewers Are Geniuses | |
| Black Panther: Wakanda Forever / int_641cf81d | comment |
Viewers Are Geniuses: In Mesoamerican myth, although they would cooperate often in acts of creation, the deities Quetzalcoatl and Tezcatlipoca are traditionally rivals to each other. Tezcatlipoca's sacred animal was the jaguar, and he was associated with the color black. In the myth of the Five Suns, Tezcatlipoca ruled the First Sun, the Sun of the Earth, until struck down by Quetzalcoatl, who brought forth the Sun of Water; Quetzalcoatl's own reign ended when Tezcatlipoca loosed his jaguars upon the world. By the events of the film, Wakanda was flooded by the Talokanil, prompting the return of the Black Panther as Shuri sought retribution, and she cast down Namor to bring their peoples together in a truce. At the end, Namor is busy working on a painting that shows himself, K'uk'ulkan, in human form (as opposed to the Feathered Serpent from adjacent murals) locked in ritual combat with a version of Black Panther that more closely resembles an anthropomorphic jaguar, a very common depiction of Tezcatlipoca in Mesoamerican codices. Chaac's priest dives into the cenote and finds an underwater plant that glows neon-blue, and while he's preparing it for the villagers to drink, the leaves bleed glowing blue sap as well. In addition to evoking the deep-sea fish who glow in the depths of the ocean, Chaac is said to cause lightning and thunder with his magical axe. | |

Jerkass Has a Point | |
| Black Panther: Wakanda Forever / int_6b05b601 | comment |
Jerkass Has a Point: When M'Baku enters the throne room to discuss the situation with Namor, he insults everyone, is incredibly rude, and is the first to suggest outright just murdering Namor. Despite his attitude, he is correct when he points out that even if they do as they're told - find and hand over Riri - there's no guarantee that Namor won't just keep using the threat of force to keep getting Wakanda to do whatever he wants in the future. M'Baku is equally correct in rethinking this position later in the film, voicing the concern that the Talokanil revere Namor as a God-Emperor, and killing him would spark a Forever War between Wakanda and Talokan. Val was justified in arresting Ross for feeding information to the Wakandans. He himself admits that he would be in a lot of trouble if it ever got out. However one feels about the two countries in question, secretly providing information to Wakanda about an impending US military action constitutes espionage and is considered treason. From the CIA's point of view, Ross is this when he advises them against action against Wakanda. He correctly states they have no idea of Wakanda military capacity and striking them without actionable intelligence is dangerously stupid. Furthermore, they almost illegally arrested the crown princess of Wakanda, nearly triggering a serious international incident. True to their portrayal, the government dismisses Ross's advice until Val vouches for him. Namor is completely right that the surface world will stop at nothing for vibranium and would absolutely pillage Talokan for it. Doubly so since the film begins with French soldiers attacking a Wakandan outpost to do exactly that, not to mention that Namor's people are descendants of indigenous peoples escaping colonization, death, and enslavement. Granted, his solution leaves a lot to be desired, but his reasoning is sound. | |

Meaningful Name: The AI of Shuri's lab, Griot (essentially the counterpart to Stark's JARVIS/FRIDAY), is named after the West African cultural polymaths of many pre-colonization empires (like that of Mali and Mande). The tradition still lives today throughout Western African nations. In the mid-credits scene, Nakia reveals that her son with T'Challa's Haitian name is Toussaint, referencing the Haitian revolutionary leader Toussaint Louverture, who was instrumental in liberating the country from French rule. He also has a meaningful Wakandan name—T'Challa. | |

Once Done, Never Forgotten | |
| Black Panther: Wakanda Forever / int_6e37c196 | comment |
Once Done, Never Forgotten: Ramonda has unsurprisingly never forgiven Okoye or the Council of Elders for siding with Killmonger after T'Challa's (apparent) death and after her family was exiled. She's carried that grudge for the better part of a decade, but with everything that's happened in the interim (e.g. Thanos, Shuri and T'Challa initially dying in the Snap, etc.), she's had to put Wakanda first over her own anger. However, the defection led to the Heart-shaped herbs being destroyed and T'Challa subsequently dying from an illness that could have been cured by them causes Ramonda's anger to simmer once more. Okoye's failure to protect Shuri from Namor—the fact that Shuri went to him willingly out of diplomatic interest notwithstanding— is the last straw that finally causes that burning grudge to flare up into an inferno and results in Ramonda punishing her. | |

Superman Stays Out of Gotham | |
| Black Panther: Wakanda Forever / int_70489c17 | comment |
Superman Stays Out of Gotham: Despite Wakanda's ties to the Avengers during the late Infinity Saga, none of the surviving members or any of the non-aligned heroes come to their aid during the war with Namor. Justified, as the heroes who had the closest ties to the Wakandan government leaders are all currently either dead, retired, or persona non grata due to recent events. There's also the fact that the Wakandans aren't telling anyone about the Talokanil sans the very limited information they give Ross, leaving them in the dark about their conflict. | |

Turn in Your Badge | |
| Black Panther: Wakanda Forever / int_71329e49 | comment |
Turn in Your Badge: Happens to Okoye after she fails to prevent Shuri from going with the Talokanil. A furious Ramonda viciously dresses her down in front of the entire council, revealing that she never forgave her for initially siding with Killmonger after the duel in the first movie, and that losing Shuri on a mission that Ramonda didn't want her to go on was the last straw. She removes her from her position as General and boots her out of the Dora Milaje. Okoye can only plant her spear into the ground and walk away. | |

Burn Baby Burn: Ramonda calls Shuri to burn their funeral clothes, to symbolize that a year has passed since T'Challa died and they are no longer in mourning. Shuri refuses, saying that if she outputs her grief she'll set fire to the world instead. The last scene is Shuri finally choosing to burn the clothes, serving as the backdrop for the Creative Closing Credits. | |

Idiot Ball | |
| Black Panther: Wakanda Forever / int_7286e96d | comment |
Idiot Ball: Everett Ross works for the United States government but chats up Wakanda repeatedly without ever checking for bugs, which is how he's caught out. Even though Namor has a general idea of the surface world and its technology, he sends uniformed Talokanil to kill Riri which could have revealed their existence to the world. He's very lucky there weren't any cameras where he sent his troops. Even The French had the foresight to send mercenaries dressed in generic tactical gear. Somewhat justified though since their society has been living underwater for centuries and they probably don't know the scope of modern technology aboveground, figuring they can just kill anyone who saw them. During the final battle, the Wakandan jet that Shuri traps Namor on crashes near the shore. While Shuri is stunned from the impact, Namor makes no effort to make it to the water, despite Shuri earlier exposing him to the dryers on the jet itself. This ultimately results in Namor's defeat as by the time he realizes he needs to head to the water, he has already been weakened. | |

Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Ramonda re-closing of Wakanda's borders is what led to America trying to find their own source of Vibranium, leading to the major conflicts of the film which ultimately leads to her own death. Ramonda and Nakia teaming up to rescue Shuri (who volunteered to accompany Namor diplomatically) and Riri results in Nakia killing a Talokan warrior and subsequently in their (the Talokanil) retaliatory attack that costs Ramonda her life. | |

The Dark Side Will Make You Forget: Shuri's grief after losing her mother turns her into a cold-hearted warrior hell-bent on killing Namor slowly and painfully, no matter the cost. It's best represented with her Ancestral Plain vision being that of Killmonger, and while she rejects his encouragement to take her revenge, it's clear she's taking his words to heart. Eventually she puts the well-being of the people of Wakanda and Talokan over her desire for vengeance. | |

Power Glows: The telltale sign that the offshore rig digging for Vibranium has struck a vein, besides the mashed up drill bit, is that the exposed material glows purple. Like the heart-shaped herb, the herb the Talokanil used to gain their water breathing glowed from growing in vibranium. When Shuri synthesizes the former using the remains of the latter, she tells Nakia they'll know it's viable if it glows, which it does. | |

Bait-and-Switch: The audience would have expected Shuri to meet T'Chaka, T'Challa (via digital recreation due to his actor passing away), or Ramonda in the ancestral plane. Who do we get? Killmonger, due to Shuri's fury at the death of Ramonda bringing out the worst in her when she takes the herb and enters the ancestral plane. Ramonda does appear to Shuri during the climax with her signature line to convince Shuri to snap out of the Cycle of Revenge. The Be Careful What You Wish For moment begins with the crowd standing and cheering on the waterfall with the Talon fighter arriving and the royal court introducing the Black Panther. They instead get M'Baku coming out of the fighter and issuing his challenge. Cue Shuri walking towards Nakia's home in Haiti. | |

Fire/Water Juxtaposition: A major theme in the film. Water obviously belongs to the Talokanil, while fire is with the Wakandans for their practice of burning funeral clothes. When Shuri meets N'Jadaka in the Ancestral Plane, they're in the Wakandan throne room, which is both flooded and burning. One involving two members of the Royal Family of Wakanda: T'Chaka died in a fiery explosion, while Ramonda dies by drowning. Namor is strongest when he is in water; Shuri defeats him by blowing up her ship against him and setting him on fire. | |

Didn't Think This Through: Riri built the vibranium detector as a school project and, despite her genius-level intellect, fails to consider the real-world consequences of creating such a machine. This puts her on the radar of the US government, the Wakandans, and Talokan, the latter of whom want her dead for exposing their society's vibranium deposits. The Americans want to retaliate against Wakanda as they believe them responsible for the attack on their vibranium mining expedition. At least until Ross points out they have no idea of Wakanda's military capabilities and attacking them without any idea of what they can do is stupid and prohibitively dangerous. | |

Rule of Symbolism: T'Challa's dream as Black Panther before Thanos' invasion was to build bridges of understanding so that the brotherhood of humanity can unite in friendship. The New Generation of Heart-Shaped Herbs that Shuri reverse-engineered from his Genetic-Pattern not only symbolizes his noble soul living on in literally every warrior who becomes the Black Panther henceforth, but since the extinct flower's revival was made possible through genetic recombination with the Talokan equivalent of the Heart-Shaped Herb, the sowing of this new crop symbolizes a hopeful future of unity and understanding between Wakanda and the underwater nation as well. | |

Take a Third Option: The United States government, being unwilling to just sit back and let Wakanda keep their Vibranium monopoly and knowing attacking the country for it would be disastrous for numerous reasons, has decided to simply explore the rest of the world for other deposits of Vibranium to harvest.

Heel Realization: Zigzagged with Shuri. Her guilt over failing to save T'Challa causes her to become angry and bitter, to the point of saying she'd like to see the world burn. When Namor (who overheard her) later recounts her words, she's disturbed to hear them spoken back to her and seems to have a change of heart. However, Namor's attack on Wakanda leads to Ramonda's death, which pushes Shuri even further into despair and rage, before she finally reconciles her actions with what she knows her mother would have wanted for her. | |

Outliving One's Offspring | |
| Black Panther: Wakanda Forever / int_95c2a9dd | comment |
Outliving One's Offspring: T'Challa has died while his mother, Queen Ramonda, is still alive — a fact that she is very distraught over. After Shuri agrees to meet with Namor, Ramonda is forced to confront the possibility that she's been kidnapped or killed — even without knowing it for sure the idea alone pushes her to the brink. | |

God-Emperor | |
| Black Panther: Wakanda Forever / int_9620c3a1 | comment |
When M'Baku enters the throne room to discuss the situation with Namor, he insults everyone, is incredibly rude, and is the first to suggest outright just murdering Namor. Despite his attitude, he is correct when he points out that even if they do as they're told - find and hand over Riri - there's no guarantee that Namor won't just keep using the threat of force to keep getting Wakanda to do whatever he wants in the future. M'Baku is equally correct in rethinking this position later in the film, voicing the concern that the Talokanil revere Namor as a God-Emperor, and killing him would spark a Forever War between Wakanda and Talokan. | |

Never My Fault | |
| Black Panther: Wakanda Forever / int_973d220f | comment |
Never My Fault: Just like his comic counterpart, Namor is Pride personified and is utterly convinced of his own infallibility. From the very beginning he trespasses into Wakanda rather than open relations conventionally, which in normal circumstances would be considered a serious diplomatic incident and yet he solely blames Wakanda for the rising tensions between the two nations. In the end, he only surrenders because he realizes it puts Wakanda in a position to give him everything he wanted anyway. Averted, however, when he decides to go to war with Wakanda after two of his soldiers are killed, since he tells his people that he had been "blinded by hope" of a possible alliance between the two nations. Killmonger's ghost still refuses to accept wrongdoing, justifying his actions as necessary to strengthen Wakanda even though his brief kingship contributed to Wakanda being far weaker by the time of Wakanda Forever. | |

"Not So Different" Remark | |
| Black Panther: Wakanda Forever / int_984ef9ef | comment |
"Not So Different" Remark: Both Wakanda and Talokan are ancient, powerful civilizations which have used Vibranium to become mighty while also hiding from the outside world. Both are filled with happy, kind people protected by those who will stop at nothing to keep them safe. A Forever War would snuff the spark out of both, which is why Shuri spares Namor at the end. Killmonger does his own version of this with Shuri when she encounters him in the Ancestral Plane, pointing out they've both lost loved ones and are consumed with a burning desire for vengeance and retribution. | |

Unwitting Instigator of Doom | |

Unwitting Instigator of Doom: T'Challa opening Wakanda to the world and revealing its technology and Vibranium in the first film. While he did so with the best of intentions, the late King also set off a chain of events that brings Wakanda and Talokan into conflict — events he ironically and tragically doesn't live to see or can even try to rectify due to his premature death. Riri Williams inventing the Vibranium Detector. It allows the CIA to search for the valuable metal outside of Wakanda and avoid antagonizing the once-reclusive nation. But, it also ends up bringing the modern world into violent contact with Namor and his people. | |

Nothing Is the Same Anymore | |
| Black Panther: Wakanda Forever / int_99dfd4fc | comment |
Nothing Is the Same Anymore: Wakanda exits the film in worse shape than they did after Killmonger's failed coup. The Royal Family's been all but wiped out save for Shuri (and T'Challa's secret son). Shuri's seemingly abdicated the Throne, allowing M'Baku to become the new King (or potentially the Prime Minister) while she serves as the Black Panther. The Dora Milaje have also been shook up, with Okoye ousted by Ramonda (and going on to become one of the inaugural Midnight Angels). Wakanda's international relations are also left in tatters. Their biggest American advocate, Ross, has lost his influence thanks to the machinations of Fontaine (As well as his acts of sedition against the interests of the United States). The United States suspects that Wakanda was responsible for Namor's attacks, as well as their actual actions of turning Ross into a Wakandan spy, kidnapping a US citizen (from US soil) and their assaults on US law enforcement personnel (and the disbandment of the Avengers has robbed Wakanda of their mutual allies in the global superhero community). Their only "ally" now (Namor) is really just an ally of convenience at best — and one who benefits far more from said alliance than Wakanda will. | |

Greater-Scope Villain: The other nations of the world, the United States in particular, serve as this, albeit in a more Unwitting Instigator of Doom sense for the most part; not only do various nations want Vibranium for their own purposes (with France even hiring mercenaries to try and steal some from a Wakandan outpost), but an American attempt at mining non-Wakandan Vibranium is what brings Namor's attentions to the surface world, setting off the movie's main conflict. With Talokanil attacks being blamed on the Wakandans, the Americans even consider launching a military strike on Wakanda in retaliation, and, after his defeat, Namor predicts that the world will eventually come after Wakanda for its resources, which Namor believes will force them to turn to Talokan for help. | |

Not to mention she Is finally able to recreate the Heart-Shaped Herb and takes on the mantle of Black Panther in the latter half of the movie. | |

Foreshadowing | |
| Black Panther: Wakanda Forever / int_9d12bbc1 | comment |
Foreshadowing: During Ramonda and Shuri's private grieving ritual: Ramonda tells Shuri there's something she needs to know about T'Challa but is cut off by Namor's arrival. During the mid-credits scene it's revealed that Nakia and T'Challa had a son, and Ramonda was the only other person that knew. Ramonda burns her clothes that she used to mourn her son. Ramonda states that it signifies the end of her grieving. Shuri does not burn her clothes... Sure enough, Ramonda doesn't need them anymore because she's the next to die in the film, and Shuri again wears the same outfit at Ramonda's funeral. Shuri refuses to burn her robe, saying that if she were to think too much about her brother, she would burn the whole world. The phrasing is reminiscent of her cousin Erik Killmonger/N'Jadaka's rage and desire to take on the world and "burn it all". Later, Shuri enters the Ancestral Plane, and Killmonger is the person she encounters. She's wearing the same white clothes, and as they talk, the room catches fire, surrounding the two in flames. Okoye and Shuri snark that if Riri (who's threatening to throw a space heater at them) doesn't come with them, she'll have to deal with Namor herself "with [her] heater". In the climax Riri equips a Wakandan fighter plane with heating to help entrap and dehydrate Namor. Back in Avengers: Endgame, one of the things that the remaining team detects is sonic disturbances underwater. At the time, Okoye told Natasha Romanoff that it's "a mild subduction beneath the African plate." Ramonda shows little patience for the Elders during the first council meeting, but after M'Baku reminds them that letting Killmonger take over cost them the herb, Ramonda sincerely asks him what he would do regarding Namor. She later reveals she still resents the other Elders and Okoye for initially siding with Killmonger, and shows gratitude for the Jabari taking her in, showing among her council, M'Baku is the only member that she trusts the most thanks to his loyalty even when he didn’t need to show her any. | |

This Is Reality: Shuri laughs off Ramonda's fears of her A.I. eventually destroying them all and explains that it's not like the movies, and Griot only does what she asks it to do. Teeny bit of Arbitrary Skepticism given Ultron almost wiped out the human race less than a decade prior, though, which the royal family was aware of and is probably what gave Ramonda the idea. | |

Continuity Nod | |

Continuity Nod: Riri and Shuri perform the same secret handshake that T'Challa and Shuri shared in the Wakandan laboratory in the first film. When we first see M'Baku in this film after the prologue, he is eating a raw carrot. He stated in the first film that his family are vegetarians. In the first movie, Klaue claimed that legends of El Dorado where actually about Wakanda and its store of vibranium and conquistadors were just way off the mark on where it was located. Here it's revealed that there really is a city of vibranium that conquistadors would have believed was around South America, probably started when Namor and his people sacked a village they colonized. When Shuri leads the Wakandan forces against the Talokan army, she shouts "YIBAMBE!", the battle cry her brother used when preparing for war against Thanos's forces. | |

Feminist Fantasy: This movie has the highest female-to-male character ratio out of any MCU film. It focuses on Shuri’s Coming of Age Story and Hero's Journey, with particular emphasis on her relationship with her mother. A large part of the film is about the women of Wakanda protecting Riri Williams, a young African American genius. In the end, Shuri engineers an alliance between Wakanda and the equally powerful nation of Talokan by defeating a nigh-invulnerable God-Emperor and forcing him to yield to her. | |

However that was compromised by Valentina who planted the beads at the crime scene for Ross to find. This leads to his firing from the CIA and arrest for treason. | |

Meanwhile, Shuri's anger leads her to demonstrate a savagery even T'Challa never did, using her suit's claws without the restraint her brother showed, not caring that Namor is completely unarmored and suffering painful injuries because of them. | |

Contrasting Sequel Antagonist: The first movie gave us Killmonger, who raged for his suffering as a black man in a racist world and wanted to use Wakanda's power to turn colonial violence against the colonial powers that rule the world. Namor is also a victim of colonialism, but he wants first to hide from the world and protect his people, and turns to war as a secondary tool and never wants vengeance. | |

Status Quo Is God: Killmonger's destruction of the Heart-Shaped Herb during the first film (and his own subsequent death) left T'Challa as the last of the Black Panthers. In this film, Shuri is able to synthetically re-create the Herb using samples from Talokan — thus ensuring the Black Panther line will continue. In addition, while T'Challa dies at the beginning of the movie, another T'Challa (named for his father) is revealed to exist in The Stinger, to carry on the name. | |

| Black Panther: Wakanda Forever / int_a98aacd1 | comment |
Posthumous Villain Victory: In a sense, Killmonger still manages to achieve his goal of killing T'Challa despite his death in the first film. T'Challa dies from a disease which Shuri believes could have been cured with the Heart-Shaped Herb — an option denied to the Royal Family thanks to Killmonger destroying it. Shuri outright blames her cousin for this when she encounters him on the Ancestral Plane. | |

Pyrrhic Victory: Shuri manages to make Namor surrender and negotiate a ceasefire between Wakanda and Talokan, but at the cost of hundreds of her countrymen, including her mother, against few-to-none of the Talokanil, and Namor makes clear to Namora the peace will be in their favour instead of simply being mutually beneficial. Namora also makes it clear they're itching to destroy Wakanda for any reason. | |

Be Careful What You Wish For: By the end of the film, M'Baku finally gets what he was after back at the beginning of the first movie: the de facto kingship of Wakanda. But this is now a M'Baku who's undergone Character Development and become close to the Royal Family (and lived through the horrors of the Infinity War, the 5 years after the Snap, and the damage and death Namor inflicts in this film). Even if M'Baku was still after the title and the throne, he didn't want it like this. | |

Moral Myopia | |
| Black Panther: Wakanda Forever / int_b42b7e7b | comment |
Moral Myopia: Ramonda is still harboring anger over Okoye’s decision to side with Killmonger, even though Killmonger won the throne as required by Wakandan law and Okoye did exactly what a Dora Milaje is supposed to do, serve the king. It's a masterpiece of cognitive dissonance for the Spanish priest to call Namor "the Son of Satan" while the Conquistadors were committing mass genocide on the Mayans. Namor's encounter with a hypocritical priest likely influenced Namor's own moral myopia. He's utterly convinced of his infallibility and that nobody on the surface can be reasoned with regardless of intent — even his attempts to negotiate with Wakanda are more of an effort to strong-arm them into an alliance. While being bitter towards the Conquistadors is understandable, he effectively punishes people hundreds of years later who had nothing to do with colonization. Most tellingly, he ends up accepting Shuri's terms of an alliance of convenience, which is what he wanted all along. Had he offered this in the first place without attempting to threaten Wakanda in the process or kill Riri Williams a lot of bloodshed would have been avoided. | |

On the other, its Antarctic location made it clear his kingdom was not intended to be of Mesoamerican origin, as it is in the film. | |

My Country, Right or Wrong | |
| Black Panther: Wakanda Forever / int_b7248073 | comment |
Ramonda has never forgiven Okoye or the Council of Elders for siding with Killmonger in the first film after he beat T'Challa (and doing nothing while her family fled the country). While there's merit to the Council's guilt, Okoye's a bit more complicated. While she recognized all too well that Killmonger was bad business, she was also trapped between her loyalty to the Royal Family and her legal obligations as the General of the Dora Milaje. To her credit, she did not hesitate when an opportunity for Loophole Abuse arose (i.e. T'Challa's survival invaliding Killmonger's victory). | |

Adaptational Backstory Change: Riri is still a child prodigy who built her own power armor in a garage using scraps, but now she's recruited by Shuri instead of Tony Stark. Namor is also far older and of Mayan, rather than Atlantean heritage.

| Black Panther: Wakanda Forever / int_bd4264a3 | comment |
The United States has good reason to be unhappy about Wakanda having a monopoly on the power of vibranium, considering Killmonger showed how easily Wakanda's power could fall into the hands of a psychopath. Since no one was aware of the existence of the Talokanil, they had every reason to think that they had the right to mine vibranium outside Wakanda. Of course, the look on Val's face when she imagines what America could do with the power of vibranium indicates that it's best America doesn't have any, and it's strongly implied that the US was fixing for any reason to start a fight and steal vibranium when Wakanda outed itself - and now the US has one. | |

Killmonger's spirit is also wearing white when he appears to Shuri. | |

Xanatos Gambit | |

Xanatos Gambit: Namor seems to come out on top no matter what happens. Kill Riri, the young scientist that created the machine making vibranium searches easier? Wakanda is safe and left alone, and that would be the end of it. Have Wakanda ally with Talokan? They become a united force against the rest of the surface/outside world. If anyone from Wakanda attacks while Shuri and Riri are held captive? Namor gets an excuse to fight back and eliminate Wakanda. If Namor dies? His followers in Talokan can avenge their "god". By Shuri sparing Namor in the climactic battle and offer to instead help Talokan in the aforementioned alliance? Namor can treat this as a debt to use Wakanda if the outsiders decide to attack it, especially since the nation has already isolated itself following T'Challa and Ramonda's deaths as well as the recent shakeups with the United Nations. | |

When Shuri is given a new outfit to wear before meeting Namor in Talokan, Riri panics and points out several examples of female characters in movies being given a dress to wear before meeting a villain: Princess Leia, Belle from Beauty and the Beast, and "that white chick from Indiana Jones" (Marion Ravenwood). In Riri's final interaction with Shuri near the end of the film, Riri offers to invite Shuri to Chicago to "catch a Bulls game". | |

Five Stages of Grief: Shuri goes through this throughout the movie. Bargaining: She prays to Bast to let her find a cure for her brother and she will never ask for anything again. Denial: While trying to make an effective cure her AI says she should go to her brother's side as his heartrate continues to drop, but she refuses to give up, only to fail in the end. Depressed: Shuri is depressed throughout the film and tries to bury herself in work to hide from her grief. Anger: With the death of their mother she is ready to go on a Roaring Rampage of Revenge against Namor. Acceptance: By the end of the film she has finally come to terms with all of her loss, stopping herself from killing Namor, and commits to the ritual her mother had shown her. | |

Moody Trailer Cover Song | |
| Black Panther: Wakanda Forever / int_c8b3e136 | comment |
Moody Trailer Cover Song: The teaser begins with Tems's downtempo and understated cover of Bob Marley's light, upbeat reggae song "No Woman, No Cry", befitting the moody scenes it plays over. By the end, the instrumentals become more grandiose and it mashes up with Kendrick Lamar's "Alright". | |

Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane: Shuri repeatedly doubts the existence of Bast and the reality of the Ancestral Plane. The movie doesn't confirm whether or not these things are real or just constructs of the imagination. However, the Egyptian goddess Tawaret talks about the Ancestral Plane as a real place, and Bast can be seen in the Omnipotence City. | |

Outside-Context Problem | |
| Black Panther: Wakanda Forever / int_cc7fae30 | comment |
Outside-Context Problem: This is why Namor is very confident that Talokan can easily bring Wakanda and even other nations down in no time. Not only is every person in the nation superhumanly strong and able to compel others with their song, their choice of battlefield is a place no other hero or villain has ever tried to specialize in, under the ocean. | |

This was after he survived his apparent death at the hands of Killmonger during their duel for the throne in Black Panther and after coming back to life in Endgame after being a victim of the Snap in Infinity War. | |

Anti-Villain: Namor is a kind and loving ruler to his people, and his only goal throughout the movie is to protect Talokan from the predations of the surface world. However, this means he's willing to do some very unpleasant things to protect them, such as attempting to assassinate a teenage girl and storming the Wakandan capital, killing innocent civilians and Queen Ramonda in the process. | |

Walking Shirtless Scene | |
| Black Panther: Wakanda Forever / int_d4bb4e51 | comment |
Walking Shirtless Scene: Namor, per his usual appearance in the comics. In the movie it's justified by stating that he can absorb oxygen from water through his skin, like certain species of fish and amphibians, so he's probably trying to maximize the amount of oxygen he respirates in this manner. (He does have an outfit that covers more skin, but only wears it in a few scenes. Usually he's wearing nothing more than jewelry and his shorts.) | |

Hypocrite: Namor is furious that Nakia trespassed upon Talokanil to rescue Shuri and Riri. While it's valid to be upset about the deaths of two of his people, the fact that he himself trespassed into Wakanda as a means of opening diplomacy rather than just send envoys is lost on him — or he just doesn't care either way. | |

The Nothing After Death: What Shuri bitterly believes after her prayers for Bast to save T'Challa's life (apparently) fell on deaf ears, making her spitefully ignore and laugh off all pleas to honor the memories of T'Challa and her mother to not go to war with Namor in vengeance for the death of the latter because she believes since their souls no longer exist, their ideals and memories no longer matter either. | |

Color-Coded Speech | |

Color-Coded Speech: The Wakandan's chief spoken language Xhosa is translated in yellow subtitles, The Talokanil chief spoken language Mayan blue, and French and Spanish are in white. This comes in handy when Nakia approaches a woman in Mexico and speaks Spanish to her, then switches to Mayan—the text turns blue—to prove she knows about the Talokanil. | |

Abdicate the Throne: Shuri chooses not to attend her coronation, which means that when M'Baku arrives to challenge her claim to the throne, he (most likely) wins by default, though it's implied that Shuri will remain Queen in a symbolic sense as the Black Panther with M'Baku essentially becoming something like a Prime Minister. | |

| Black Panther: Wakanda Forever / int_da46a2c0 | comment |
Hollywood Atheist: The film's opening lines are Shuri's pleas to Bast, promising to no longer doubt her existence or that of the afterlife if she saves T'Challa life, and she fully becomes this trope when her prayers (apparently) fall on deaf ears, and spends the remainder of the film venomously and mockingly snarling that the hopes, dreams, and ideals of T'Challa and her mother no longer matter because they are deceased and hence no longer exist. It does not help that her three previous appearances already mark her as a staunch scientist and modernist who holds no respect for tradition and spirituality. | |

Hidden Disdain Reveal: When punishing Okoye for failing to stop the Talokan from capturing Shuri, Ramonda reveals she never forgave her for siding with Killmonger during the events of the first movie. There were no hints beforehand that her anger at the Dora Milaje general would be so personal. Furthermore, the truth is more complex: Okoye served under Killmonger due to her duty as general of the Dora Milaje, not out of actual loyalty to him- and turned against him when T'Challa returned to resume the challenge for the throne. | |

Like T'Challa, Shuri too had become consumed with vengeance— and like her brother, she too recognizes the futility of the Cycle of Revenge and snaps out of it in time during the climax. | |

Bathe Her and Bring Her to Me: An extremely downplayed example. Shuri is given a dress, to which Riri starts calling this trope out, before she is brought to meet Namor but only to fit her status as a princess. Namor seems to be implying this when he tells Shuri she can't go to Talokan in her dress... only to point out that the extreme cold and water pressure of the underwater city would kill her like that. Instead, she wears a decidedly unsexy atmospheric diving suit taken from one of the divers at the beginning. | |

You Are in Command Now | |
| Black Panther: Wakanda Forever / int_ed2bbf8a | comment |
You Are in Command Now: Following T'Challa's death, his mother Ramonda becomes queen regnant of Wakanda.note In most monarchies, Shuri, as the only surviving child of T'Chaka, would have a stronger claim to the throne than Ramonda, a queen dowager. Wakanda's royal succession laws are never explained in depth, but Ramonda presumably became the new monarch because she had already ruled the kingdom during the five years period when T'Challa and Shuri "blipped" due to the events of Avengers: Infinity War. She is seen sitting at the dominant seat in the Wakandan council's chambers as well as addressing the United Nations. A rare antagonist to protagonist example, after Ramonda dies from drowning, Namor says that Shuri is now queen. By the film's end, Shuri has basically ceded control over Wakanda's monarchy to M'Baku, who challenges her leadership without any opposition. After Ramonda's death, the elders began looking to him for leadership, and Shuri doesn't object to him taking charge of the situation and by the end chooses to pass political leadership to him effectively naming him Prime Minister. | |

Sequel Reset: Wakanda has retreated back into an isolationist policy and is no longer sharing its Vibranium/technology with the world. It's justified, as T'Challa was the architect and advocate of the "Open Wakanda" initiative. With his death (on top of Wakanda's own scars from the Infinity War and the 5 years after the Snap), Ramonda is circling the wagons. She knows the world sees them as vulnerable without the Black Panther. | |

Murder Is the Best Solution | |
| Black Panther: Wakanda Forever / int_f6b30338 | comment |
Namor has every reason to distrust the surface world and want to keep the existence of his people a secret. Unfortunately, in his legitimate desire to protect his people he's very quick to jump to Murder Is the Best Solution, even when his targets don't intend him any harm. He kills the Americans mining his vibranium and blames the Wakandans for the world searching for vibranium, which is rather unreasonable considering neither knew of Talokan's existence. | |

Go-Go Enslavement | |
| Black Panther: Wakanda Forever / int_f8117297 | comment |
Go-Go Enslavement: Discussed Trope. When Shuri and Riri are trapped in Talokan, Shuri is told to put on a dress and go meet Namor. Riri calls it "supervillain shit" and cites other (Disney-owned) fictional women who are given new outfits by their captorsnote Return of the Jedi, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Beauty and the Beast. | |

Nakia is the Mother, who tries her best to be a Cool Big Sis to Shuri. And she is a literal mother to Prince T’Challa II. | |

Downer Beginning | |
| Black Panther: Wakanda Forever / int_f88f2449 | comment |
Downer Beginning: Merciful Bast, where to start? Shuri tries and fails to save her brother, T'Challa, from an unknown illness. With his passing, and the heart-shaped herbs destroyed in the previous film, there is no one left to officially carry on the Black Panther mantle. If that's not stressful enough, the nation of Wakanda is faced with scrutiny for isolating itself once more, rolling back the late king's promises to share its technology and vibranium reserves, and are targeted by other governments for them once again. And that's all before being blamed for the Talokan attack on a research ship that just happened to locate new traces of vibranium outside Wakanda. | |

Forever War | |
| Black Panther: Wakanda Forever / int_fbb54ba6 | comment |
This gets defied during the movie itself, where Shuri's desire for vengeance against Namor for Ramonda's death causes Killmonger to appear before her in the Ancestral Plane rather than Ramonda as she expected. He stokes her vengeful behavior despite M'Baku's warnings that killing Namor would result in a cataclysmic Forever War between Wakanda and Talokanil. It's only at the last second that Shuri manages to stay her hand and offer Namor a truce, but Killmonger's actions nearly caused even further carnage. | |

Special Edition Title | |
| Black Panther: Wakanda Forever / int_fc8bc8e | comment |
Special Edition Title: The Marvel Studios logo is shown in white in the teaser, befitting the funeral garb of the Wakandans. In the movie itself, akin to how the Marvel Studios logo of Captain Marvel only had images of Stan Lee, the logo here only features Chadwick Boseman. It also plays in complete silence. | |

The Corrupter | |
| Black Panther: Wakanda Forever / int_fe6c146e | comment |
The Corrupter: In the Ancestral Plane, Killmonger tells Shuri to give into her rage and kill Namor for killing her mother, asking her whether she's going to be "noble" like her late brother or if she'll "take care of business" like he did. Though it's downplayed in that he wouldn't have been summoned at all if Shuri hadn't already made up her mind. | |

Pet the Dog | |
| Black Panther: Wakanda Forever / int_ff7f34c5 | comment |
Pet the Dog: Killmonger in the Ancestral Plane expresses some respect for Ramonda sacrificing her life to save Riri, satisfied that at least she saved an outsider unlike T'Chaka, who he believes would've murdered the girl. | |

Shown Their Work | |
| Black Panther: Wakanda Forever / int_ffad4e9f | comment |
Shown Their Work: While trying to work out how to weaken Namor, Shuri and Riri speculate that since he doesn't have gills like the other Talokanil, he must instead absorb oxygen from the water through his skin. This is a real phenomenon, known as cutaneous respiration, and it's the primary means of breathing for pretty much every known amphibian species in the world. Since Namor is himself an amphibian being, this makes sense. When Namor went to bury his mother on land, a soldier is seen balancing a musket on a forked stick. This is something that people would actually do, because their weapons weighed a ton and took a long time to fire using a slow fuse. | |
