I'm on the side of recasting T'Challa, but that wouldn't even factor into what I'm about to say

The answer to your question is anything:pachaha: I laugh when people ask "what could they have done?" The shyt is all made up anyway:russ: Riri was clearly tacked onto this movie and didn't need to be there at all. She could've been anybody, so the idea that "there just wasn't any room for men" doesn't really work. If they wanted more competent males in the movie they would've had them

And M'Baku definitely could've filled some of the void because he was definitely wasted. Nikkas go to the "yea but he became king at the end" but that means nothing in the scope of a 30 second scene out of a total 5 minutes he has in a 3 hour movie. Just like I say with Mary Sue characters, the destination is irrelevant when there's no road to reach it. The journey is what captivates us

Also this falls into the total context of what the MCU has become, where they've clearly taken away nearly all the male heroes. This movie falls in the context of a phase where now the next Avengers are nearly all women:mjlol:

Its not about not wanting strong female characters or heroes. Kill Bill is my GOAT movie:mjlol: I thought Okoye was the best character in Wakanda Forever. The overall point is about how male heroes are being replaced, and that trickles down to black males and is often(and expectedly) worse
It's just... exhausting. The post-credits scene obviously sets up the next movie to be business as usual. All of these female led movies are one offs, little breaks from the norm of a strong male lead. The bankable franchises are still built around the male heroes, yet dudes are protesting. Can you imagine what it's like growing up female and having most movies never featuring your gender as a competent lead? I don't think most guys could handle it. We get a couple of action movies featuring us in the lead and the whole internet freaks out. What's ironic about all this outrage is that at it's heart, Wakanda Forever was still focused on the struggle of this family, community, and country without their king. The king is still centered as the glue and his absence has created all this chaos.

Are people really upset Shuri spared Namor when the MCU already showed T'Challa sparing Zemo after killing his father? It's a morality play. Does revenge really heal or solve problems?
N'Kano/Vibraxas played by John Boyega

it would have been cool if N'Kano/John Boyega had just a small cameo role in the first movie as one of the young warriors that declined to challenge T'challa at the first warriors fall fight in the beginning of the movie you know just a small cameo wink wink role to be expanded on in later movies

he could kinda be a T'challa/black panther fanboy potential miner sidekick type character and maybe a possible love interest for shuri

Powers​

N'Kano is infused with Vibranium. He can create and control vibrations which can manifest in different ways including destructive shockwaves, subtle frequency matching, and phasing himself and others through solid substances.
Vibraxas must wear a harness to help control his powers & regulate the energy he releases so his bones won't shatter.
Good pick. I was hoping they'd introduce him at some point.

M'Baku explained it. If Namor's people view him as a God, Wakanda would be involved in eternal war over Shuri killing him. She would be essentially dooming the fate of thousands of her people for generations to come because they have just as much vibrianuim and perhaps even more soldiers.

Right. They'd be taking on an endless war with a civilization they know little about, which would eventually end up being a war on multiple fronts. Eventually, it'd get out that really Talokan and Wakanda are basically just fighting over Vibranium, as far as outside countries are concerned, and any offers of assistance would require promises of resource and technology sharing, at minimum. Not to mention the possibility of multiple other parties entering for the purpose of just gaining control of Vibranium.

At this point, she's let Namor know he can be beaten, and offered an alliance on Wakanda's terms instead of Talokan's. On top of that, Namor has Namora looking at him sideways, and his only way to frame it as a W is to insist that Wakanda will eventually get turned on by someone else, and come running to them for help.

If brehs haven't realized at this point that upper tier villains aren't getting killed immediately, I don't know what to tell them.

Exactly, what kind of leader willingly dooms their entire people to an eternal struggle with underwater Al Qaeda powered by vibranium? That was a long term decision for a kingdom being made instead of a daughter avenging her mother in the moment.
