Character Shuri
Description Shuri's character arc shows inconsistency. Initially, she is portrayed as a tech-focused individual who dismisses tradition and spirituality. However, after T'Challa's death, she becomes more open to rituals and even attempts to recreate the Heart-Shaped Herb. This shift seems abrupt and not fully justified by the narrative.
( Scene 1 Scene 2 Scene 9 Scene 50 ) -
Character Okoye
Description Okoye's fierce loyalty and dedication to the throne seem to waver after being stripped of her rank. Her willingness to disobey the Queen's orders and assist Shuri appears out of character for someone who previously upheld tradition and authority with unwavering commitment.
( Scene 50 Scene 96 ) -
Character M’Baku
Description M’Baku's initial aggression and desire for war with Namor change after learning about the Talocanil's history and potential godlike status. His sudden advocacy for peace and understanding seems inconsistent with his previous warlike demeanor.
( Scene 50 Scene 224 )
-
Description The discovery of vibranium outside Wakanda contradicts established lore and raises questions about the origins and properties of the metal. This inconsistency challenges the previously established uniqueness of Wakanda's vibranium source.
( Scene 11 ) -
Description The Talocanil's ability to control marine life and their advanced underwater technology seem incongruous with their isolation and lack of interaction with the surface world. The source of their knowledge and technological advancements remains unexplained.
( Scene 16 )
-
Description The attack on the Mali Outreach Center and the subsequent evidence linking it to the French government seem contrived and serve as a convenient plot device to raise tensions and justify Wakanda's isolationist stance.
( Scene 5 ) -
Description The sudden appearance of the downed surveillance aircraft and its convenient role in clearing a path for Shuri and Okoye's escape feel like a Deus ex machina, an unlikely event that resolves a seemingly impossible situation.
( Scene 91 )
-
Description The casual and humorous tone of some of Shuri and Riri's dialogue, particularly during tense situations, can feel out of place and detract from the seriousness of the threats they face.
( Scene 9 Scene 53 (C53) )
-
Element Chase sequences
( Scene 53 Scene 16 )
Suggestion The multiple chase sequences, while exciting, could be streamlined to maintain narrative momentum and avoid repetition. Consider combining elements or focusing on the unique aspects of each chase. -
Element Wakanda's isolationist stance
( Scene 6 Scene 50 )
Suggestion The repeated justifications for Wakanda's isolationist policy could be consolidated to avoid redundancy. Explore alternative ways to convey this information, such as through character interactions or subtle world-building details.

| Trope | Trope Details | Trope Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| Death of a Main Character | King T'Challa dies, leaving a void in Wakanda that needs to be filled | One of the most common tropes in screenwriting where a beloved character dies, which creates a sense of loss and emotional turmoil in the audience. This trope has been used in multiple movies and TV shows including Game of Thrones where multiple main characters die throughout the series. |
| Hostage Situation | Mercenaries take the Mali Outreach Center hostage, demanding access to vibranium | A plot device where a group of people are held hostage, creating a sense of urgency and danger. This trope is commonly used in crime and action thrillers, one example of which would be Die Hard where John McClane battles a group of terrorists who have taken hostages in a building |
