How did Shuri get stabbed?
How the heck did Shuri get stabbed, in Wakanda Forever?
It’s already established in the first Black Panther that the vibranium suit blocks all guns and sharp objects. The only reason T’Challa defeats Killmonger is because he times the use of a sword with the passing off the train/subway, as the machine propelling it forward disrupts the vibranium protection of the suit.
In the sequel, there is no machine present to do it, and Shuri/the Black Panther is on the beach. Even if she is a slender woman wearing the suit, it would operate the same and deflect stabs, even from vibranium blunt instruments. There was no disruptor! There is no exposition to explain a different function of the suit, aside from superficial differences.
As far as I can tell, the movie is decent, but the third and final act did too much and has some inconsistencies.
I’m moving away from the original prompt and rambling now, but that’s probably my main concern with Phase 4 and beyond. Good ideas, but plot inconsistencies- and not just because of the multiverse, but because of writers who aren’t paying attention to the previous works completed.
Edit: I found another comment in a different forum that more accurately explained why T’Challa defeats Killmonger, and how that factor isn’t present in the second film.
“The train tracks were destabilizing the vibranium armor/suit both of them were wearing. This was getting constantly activated on and off when the train would go by. T'Challa waited for the time when the track was just enabled and Killmonger was there to be able to stab him since his suit wasn't able to deflect the knife.”
My whole point is there was no destabilization occurring in the second film. Just stabbie-stab.
