23 of the most wasted Marvel movie characters as picked from each movie
By Mark Lynch
Black Panther: Shuri
Black Panther was one of the most highly anticipated movies of all time. Before the movie hit theaters, it broke ticket sales records. When it debuted, fans weren’t disappointed.
The cast was full of inspiring people, the women were stronger than any movie, the secondary cast was unforgettable, and the antagonist was so good people were rooting for him. Black Panther will always be more than a film. It was a movement.
Shang Chi actor Simu Liu said it best when he brought up what Chadwick Boseman’s Black Panther meant to people like him. “Without Chadwick, and what he gave to his character, there is no Shang Chi”
You’ll notice that as the movies get more current that the balance of the characters gets better. Black Panther may have done it better than all of the Marvel Studios projects. Although, it’s certain everyone could have used more Shuri.
She was a genius, goofy, and didn’t back down from a fight. Watching her be everything to Wakanda was inspiring. In short, everything Shuri was in the comics.
She’s someone that kids will dress up as on Halloween and adults will cosplay as. It was even better when she showed up Bruce Banner in Avengers: Endgame. Hopefully, she will continue to grow in the MCU.
