Yup I think both of you are right. :jbhmm:

It definitely sounds like the Shuri circa Who is the Black Panther. It makes perfect sense. Shuri doesn't become her (entirely) mature self until she had to take the mantle.

I do hope Shuri's competiveness and cockiness is included in the "vibrance" she has, though. She's not just nerdy. Shuri was always ambitious of taking the mantle like @Mic-Nificent noted. Even if it's not about the BP mantle exactly this time around, but she should still be incredulous.

Hopefully she shines through as a supporting character, regardless.

And I have a feeling that "take Wakanda to a new place." is just Shuri wanting the country to be the most advanced it can be. Unless Coogler felt inspired by Coates...

Nah, everything that Coogler, Boseman, and Cole have said about the film reveals that they like the monarchy. They've all said that T'Challa being king is an aspect of him that makes him unique in the MCU.

One thing I hate about Coates being the writer on Black Panther is that now people are acting like he's the definitive writer of the character and should be consulted on everything. fukk Coates, his Black Panther run isn't even approaching what others before him did. People even keep giving him credit for shyt that he didn't create.

...and that wouldn't change anything. Coates' Shuri actually doubles down on the "nation over everything" mindset. Her wanting Wakanda to be more advanced internally fits her comic book persona.

I fukking hate Grace Randolph too, but I also want Black Panther to get as MUCH attention as possible and do well. Before now a lot of outlets were ignoring the film compared to other comic book movies.

It would change Shuri because Coates completely rewrote Shuri and gave her a completely new personality. She's just as stoic as T'Challa now, older than T'Challa, and now seemingly more "wise" than T'Challa.

Even after Shuri became Black Panther she wasn't stoic, she was also in a lot of ways more ruthless than T'Challa.

What did Grace say about the poster? I don't plan on watching the video.

We'll have to agree to disagree on this one. Current Shuri may be more stoic due to the Djalia, but she's just as ruthless as before. That showed up in BP #10 and BP# 12. Coates' Shuri is basically a calmer version of Hickman's Shuri, imho.

My overall point is that even Coates' Shuri would want Wakanda to be as advanced as possible, since it would benefit the nation. Hence why I replied to @Concerning VIolence's post that Coates' influence wouldn't affect that aspect of things.
