Thoughts on the new Black Panther (character, not movie)

I'm not here to talk about the movie itself, I understand most people really liked it. Instead, I want to talk about Shuri.

I think she's an excellent Black Panther. I was a little unsure going into it because honestly I was kind of pining for Nakia to take over the role considering how badass of a fighter she was in the first one. Nevertheless, I was really impressed with Coogler's arc for the character and it proved to me how good of a Black Panther Shuri's going to be. One of my hesitations about Shuri is that she'd never want to lead the country (which i thought Nakia would be really good at), so I'm glad they made M'Baku take over, solely because it's just a bit outside of the Shuri we know and love.

I am eager to see what they do with T'Challa's son, if they age him up in Secret Wars somehow or make him a Young Avenger i can't say. I think eventually he'll take up his father's role and defeat M'Baku for the throne, which will be really cool to see and bring everything back full circle.

Anyways, what do you guys think of Shuri being Black Panther? What do you think they'll do with young T'Challa? Let me know in the comments!
