Okoye, apparently, was Black Widow’s contact point. We don’t know all who got dusted in Wakanda as far as potential “heirs” besides Shuri (can it be a female anyway), but we do know M’Baku wasn’t.
Part of me hopes Wakandans were trying to work on their own resolution to the snap, holding out hope that they could get T’Challa back, but we don’t know of any “scientific types” outside of Shuri (who, again, was dusted).
I think the sequel movies for the characters that got dusted like Dr Strange, Spidey, and Black Panther will sorta deal with the aftermath of them being gone five years. Like I am sure Black Panther 2 will have some fallout from T‘ Challa being gone. Peter sorta explains what happened to them all after being dusted during the final battle. Same with Far From Home. They gonna have to explain the five year time jump as realistically Ned and Michelle should be college aged now in the current timeline and Peter is still 15.

The five year time gap seems like the kind of rabbit hole they don't want to go too far down.
Logically, the sudden doubling of the world's population after years of barely functional governments would be absolute chaos. Not to mention the bureaucratic nightmares involved with legal versus chronological ages, remarriages and the like...

It doesn't really work though.
The (terrible stupid no good) reason for Coates run was that T'challa was a shit king that allowed countless stuff to happen under his watch (which was, once again stupid)
This time he was just... gone. And it wasn't even his fault. In fact, he tried to stop it.
There really isn't a reason for a true revolution
It does, however, open the door for a potential villain to be building during that 5 years. Someone like Achebe taking advantage of the chaos.

By “heirs”, I meant persons that are eligible (according to Wakandan law) to challenge for the position of ruler (such as M’Baku). We never met any of the other potential people from the other tribes, as the other tribes all seemed content to let T’Challa receive the position unchallenged.
So maybe the wrong word on my part.
And...sorry, not sorry.
Actually I kind of agree with you, but I don't think many YouTubers would do these days, and in general time travel stories are always full of contradictions anyway. Most movies always like to have a moment where they explain the rules and usually they stick to them. This one has multiple explanations from many sources, but the authority on time has to be the guardian of the Time Stone.
I just consulted with a few others I watched it with and the key point made by The Ancient One is that what we perceive as the flow of time is generated by the stones.
The visual implication is that there is a flow in the time-stream. I remember it as sparkles, but apparently it was glowing threads intertwined. The implication being that the flow is contained within the bounds of the stone's diagrammatic orbit. When The Ancient One swipes the time stone out of their spinning pattern the branching timeline follows it. Bruce plucks it out of thin air and puts it back, explaining that "It never left". The branch turns to dust and drifts away.

Not visiting the Black Panther appreciation thread much recently has made me forget how much some of you didn't like A Nation Under Our Feet. Some of us just don't see it as "stupid" and don't believe he was saying T'Challa was a "shit king" at all. Just that monarchy without a modern constitution is flawed. I can indeed imagine that being a theme in a future movie. We know Coates and Coogler consulted, and we know many choices of both art and direction were influenced by the movie.
Wakanda just had a civil war, I doubt Coogler would want to re-open that box in the second movie. Especially when such a force of blacks came out for the movie. We don't tend to be overly found of constant black dysfunction on screen.
I also don't agree with what you think Coates was saying vs what was actually presented on panel but this certainly isn't the thread for such a discussion

I'm now wondering if the animated 'What If?' series they've discussed for Disney+ is designed to explore some of these alternate timelines?
