reasons why Shuri was the best character in black panther

  • sees her brother after a v dangerous mission and immediately roasts him
    • continues to roast him throughout the movie despite a) him being king and b) them being in a political crisis
      • a small selection of things she roasts him on
        • his ex
        • his shoes
        • his old outdated technology
        • his ass getting kicked by her inventions
  • “WHAT ARE THOOOOOOSSEEEE?” a true memelord
  • “don’t frighten me like that coloniser!”
  • pretends to challenge t’challa for the throne for the drama of it all 
  • somehow finds the time to completely redo her hair and outfit in a political crisis? iconic
  • sees things in science fiction and invents them
    • names said inventions after bad puns
  • always striving for improvement & understands that just because something works doesn’t mean it can’t be improved
  • “great, another broken white boy for us to fix” she Knows
  • wants to go to california for disneyland and coachella
  • checks which side of the road to drive on in the middle of a car chase bc she’s responsible
  • she’s literally the smartest person on earth??? at 16?? in a world where tony stark and bruce banner exist?????? how can you not love her

Every time they mention how Black Panther lack diversity.

Tell them:

Chadwick Boseman, Michael B. Jordan, Angela Basset, Forest Whitker is African American.

Danai is a Zimbabwean-American

Lupita Nyongo is a Kenyan-Mexican

Martin Freeman, Daniel Kaluuya and Andy Serkis are English.

Florence Kasumba is Ugandan-German.

Letitia Wright is Guyanese.

Black Panther is an extremely diverse movie with people from all over the world. Die mad about it. 

There are… people actually saying this? :-O

Nazis…nazis are saying this.

@winterstar95– I think we can safely disregard Nazis as actual people. But still. Damn. 

Don McGregor in the 1970s had a reply to the call to add white characters: he had T’challa confront the Klan.

I feel like there needs to be some kind of post for MCU fans on How To Write About Africa because I feel like there’s a lot of people out there who want to write about Wakanda and T’Challa but are worried about being problematic and that makes me sad because there’s SO MUCH GREAT meta to be had about T’Challa and Wakanda but at the same time there’s a lot of legitimate concerns about perpetuating racist stereotypes and yeah.

T’Challa and Wakanda could be such a great way to introduce people to amazing sci-fi concepts that people should know

This is SO needed. 

It’s so easy to be like ‘just try it!’ but the problem with this website is that people don’t think its okay for people to make mistakes. I’ve gotten messages from people who want to write about T’Challa/Wakanda but are nervous about how their work will be perceived and its so sad. 

We really need to gather some people who’d be interested in writing a nice little info post!

I’ll start
