    No one else cried, because no one else had to tell their father that they could not not save their loved ones. No one else cried because no one else even TRIED to pull the trigger, apart from Namor of course.

    And he couldn't say his stance with confidence, because deep down he KNEW his father was right. That's why they mind wiped Cap in the first place. Because the Illuminati knew blowing up planets was necessary. It was what was needed to be done... he just couldn't bring himself to do it. And his family and loved ones were about to die because of that inability.

    It is a COMPLETELY valid reason for him or anyone else to break down. He is human, believe it or not. An like all humans even he has limits. If this isn't a time where he can break down, really what is?

    Except that the story ends with T'CHalla prioritizing his personal vendetta with Namor over saving the universe... which is the point of him failing in the first place. And to his credit, he actually LEARNED from his mistake. Revenge can wait. Sometimes being a hero means putting whats needed ahead of what you might want.

    That's the point of showing Namor and T'Challa fighting side by side at the end of the story, in contrast to Steve and Tony. They chose to put aside their differences and work together rather than continue to try and needlessly kill each other because that's not only the smart thing to do but the right thing to do. And when he made the mistake of putting is own agenda ahead of the greater good, it blew up in his face... as it should. But he learned from that mistake.

    To his credit, he was at least willing to try. In hindsight perhaps Namor should have stepped up earlier to do the deed, and spare T'Challa doing it.

    For what it's worth, I'm glad T'CHalla didn't pull the trigger even if I don't agree with how the Illuminati (minus Namor) flipped flopped the way they did. I wouldn't want the blood of billions of innocent people on his hands. Namor is already a mass murder, so he can sort of take it.

    Yeah, that book is great. Power and Doomwar is definitely where I was on the Shuri boat.

    They're contradicting themselves again. Notice they have opposite expectations of character when it comes to MCU T'challa.

    MCU T'challa being a reactionary generic blob is okay, but MU T'challa must always be alpha and gary stue to the core. MU T'challa must never cry, but MCU T'challa is on the verge of tears like 3 times in the enire movie and that's okay.

    Doomwar was terrible for her. She let Doom walk away with a don't do that again speech. Hickman Shuri would of picked his head. But note she had no problem snapping the rebel leaders neck.

    There characters have two different histories. One has to become an adult at 10ish. The other got to grow up with his parents. Gotta expect some differences.

    I think it's fair to say the very ending of Doom War was anti-climactic. But other than that, I think Maeberry wrote a pretty good Shuri. I'll say again, I personally liked Maeberrys Shuri a bit better. Hudlins was a bit on the annoying side at times.

    Is there a real argument in this sentiment? Doesn't make much sense. MU T'challa should be more emotionally scarred overall as an adult due to losing a parent a young age.

    I wouldnt have any issues if Coogler and Nate wrote a genuine and satisfying T'Challa instead of a generic, vanilla plot device that's barely T'Challa
