I still don't understand people arguing about Shuri being the next BP. It's a monarchy with lines of succession. T'Challa passes and Shuri takes up the mantle like Prince T'Challa did when he was an established BP while T'Chaka was still king but too old to panther around and it seems rule defaulted back to Queen Ramonda w/ T'Challa gone from the trailers. Regardless of what happens in the comics or not- that's what was established in the first film. She would only lose the title through challenge or death. And it's obvious that it's Shuri's suit she made for herself at least b/c the mask design matches her traditional facepaint.
So then the question becomes does she remain the Black Panther? I keep going back to the teaser and The Queen saying 'my entire family is gone.' Is mourning T'Challa/Chadwick & Shuri in the same film too much or does having an in film loss add to the weight of the mourning undercurrent they're building? And in that teaser too, I know there's stunt doubles & CGI but that suit at the teaser end looks like a bigger frame than the one at the end of the new trailer.
Because they're putting Shuri way out front on this marketing but still being coy about her being the new Black Panther for some reason, despite it being blatant that it's a suit designed and built by and for Shuri, which has me wondering if there's more than one in the film. Like, if you're this blatant about it but still not saying it, there's something else going on:
NOT SURE WHATS SO COY
ABOUT IT AFTER THAT TRAILER.
