3 Reasons Shuri Is the Best Character in Black Panther

(Marvel Studios)

Shuri, played by Letitia Wright, is the epitome of black girl magic.

Not only can she be considered another black princess but every time she’s on screen she lights up the scene. So here are 3 reasons she’s the best character in Black Panther:

1. She’s the main character that is gadget savvy. She’s dedicated her life to improving the technology of Wakanda. She enhances all of T’Challa’s gadgets including his suit.

2. She’s not the average princess. We mainly see princesses looking pretty and following orders but Shuri is the warrior princess interested in science and has an active role in her kingdom. She handles the vibranium (the powerful substance that Wakanda is known for) and develops innovative ways to transport and use it.

3. She provides the best comedic relief in the film. Shuri is the lighthearted character that brings the laughter in almost every scene. Whether she’s teasing her brother about his shoe choices or saving another broken white boy, she constantly brings the best one-liners.
