I love the fact they really put in effort to make Shuri different from T’Challa. The line about T’Challa being “too noble” was amazing, because that IS his story. “It’s hard for a good man to be a king”. That’s a huge part of his inner conflict in the comics. He struggles between putting Wakanda first over the rest of the world. He struggles to be king over being an avenger. Even in the mcu, there was absolutely no reason for him to offer Zemo or Killmonger any hint of sympathy or kindness or understanding, but he did. He kept Zemo alive (despite the man being responsible for his father’s death) and he was absolutely willing to save Killmonger. Because that IS the kind of person he is.
He revealed vibranium to the rest of the world to help. “You are wrong to turn your back to the rest of the world.” He wanted to provide aid and to protect not just those in Wakanda. He offered to heal and protect Bucky. He offered to house Steve as well (I’m assuming). He opened his borders to the avengers and stood right alongside them as they all fought Thanos. But his decisions that were made with good intentions, and to SAVE people, also came with repercussions as we see in bpwf.
With Shuri (at least this is my interpretation of what happened, supported by several scenes and her comic counterpart) I think she took everyone else’s words to heart in that moment with Namor. Unlike Zemo and Killmonger, Namor had an army. A powerful one. He wasn’t just one man. He and his entire underwater nation was a very real and powerful threat, and killing Namor, like M’baku had said, would’ve caused eternal conflict between their people, which would’ve hurt more Wakandans. And so she didn’t do it. Because Shuri, especially during this movie, and everything she and Wakanda had been through, will put her country first. She’s dutiful. That’s who she is in the comics as well.
It’s a beautiful contrast and I love them both for it.
