MBaku the new Wakandan king?


Toward the end of the movie MBaku says he wants to challenge for the throne. But should not Shuri be considered the Queen at least until she is challenged and defeated?

reply

Yeah, I was unclear on whom exactly he was challenging.

It was a gag of sorts.

It was supposed to be Shuri's ceremonial coronation, but she sent M'Baku in her place

M'Baku issued "the challenge" knowing full well there was no one for him to actually challenge

After standing with Wakanda against Thanos AND protecting Wakandans from Namor, he's already earned Wakanda's gratitude and loyalty

So it went from a ceremonial coronation of Shuri to a ceremonial installation of M'Baku as Wakanda's ruler

It fits with the big brother vibe he'd had with Shuri throughout this film -- now he'll be her king and she'll be his chief warrior, just her brother was to their father

Can't wait for Killmonger 2 to take the throne in 10 years.
