Shuri's dynamic and banter with Spider-Man in "The Klaws of the Panther" means a lot to me. Heck, most of her dynamics in this run meant a lot to me (highlight the mentor-mentee relationship Wolverine had with her).
Keep in mind, this was Shuri nearer to her beginnings (pre-Aj Adanna). She is learning self-control, restraint, and ways not to be impulsive. She is much more ruthless than T'Challa and other heroes, which shows.
A good cop and a bad cop.
"I will kill you. Right now. In ugly ways." - Princess Shuri
"Don't confuse, "don't want" with "Will try not to.""
"Don't be a sissy."
Not Shuri aspiring to kill Klaw and Spider-Man (don't worry, she only means the first part 🫶).

The first thing we get out of this is connecting Klaw back to a character from the WW2 order, and an old enemy of Nick Fury's named Fritz Klaw...

M17: Welcome to Wakanda
If you are watching on Disney+, this "mini" episode is the third part of the 7th episode called "The Man in the Ant Hill."
It's really called "Welcome to Wakanda" because it's all about establishing Wakanda and T'Challa and actually has fuck all to do with Ant-man.
Not only do I hate that this got shoved into Ant-Man's episode, I hate it a lot.
I hate how the character we will come to know as M'Baku says "come and face de man ape!!" in a weird-dumb accent. I hate how Wakanda is vaguely African but might also be Central America for all we know because it's just "ethnic". The way foreign countries are in a lot of movies.
I hate how T'Challa is like "if you fight M'Baku, dad, yo will lose," and the explanation of why T'Chaka has to fight is basically "we are a backwards people and don't know how to pick our leaders."
Ooh I hate the design of M'Baku.
I don't like that the two dora milaje we do see are interchangeable and have no personality.
This episode makes us feel a lot for T'Challa who has to watch his dad die. But in making T'Challa smart they make the rest of the Wakandans kind of dumb.
A few things I do like,
I do like that though T'Chaka is hilariously small compared to M'Baku, he gets a few good hits in during the fight. I mean, T'Challa has some gray hair here. I'm not sure how old he is supposed to be but I am figuring T'Chaka is no spring chicken.
The composition of the shots when M'Baku hits T'Chaka and he dies in the (convenient) rain does make me a little teary. It's his dad! I am not a monster!
I'm also conflicted about the Klaw-M'Baku alliance. I know that is how a lot of Western countries destabilized "third world" nations. Is by backing dictators. But I also think it contributes to M'Baku seeming dumb. Like he can't have thought of this himself. He needed Klaw to become King of Wakanda.
LOL. I do like this portrayal of T'Challa. It seems like I hate everything, but it's just so inferior to the Black Panther films Ryan Coogler gives us. I think as an origin story it's also not as good as the BET Motion Comic version of Reginald Hudlin's run on Black Panther. (Like if you want to introduce children to Black Panther.)
Rating: Do Not Recommend
