WF: Reflections of Shuri

In the ancestral plane, Shuri's conversation with Killmonger is easy to flatten out to 'Shuri confronts her grief and desire for vengeance and, momentarily, chooses vengeance.' But as with any Coogler film, I believe that the dialogue between characters is communicating a bit more than that. Furthermore, I think there's some insight into the reading that the ancestral plane is both a physical plane where you meet the spirits of real people and a conversation with one's own subconscious or conscious (I first heard it on NewRockstars)

I think the scene can be separated into three conversations. The first part of the conversation centers on why Shuri took the herb in the first place. At first, she tries to say that she took it to see her family, but Killmonger calls that out and we as the audience already knows that he's right due to her earlier conversation with Ramonda about T'Challa's spirit. So eventually, she drops that and admits that she wants power and doesn't correct her cousin when he suggests it's for revenge. This essentially is the first time that Shuri outright admits her rage, pain, and desire for revenge unreservedly.

The next phase starts with her denying that she's like him, calling him an unworthy king to which he retorts that he and T'Challa did what was needed to open Wakanda up in such a way that they would have protected Riri in the first place. No argument there, but she goes on to blame his burning of the heart-shaped herb for not only T'Challa's death, but in many ways, the predicament that Wakanda finds itself in, which he denies. I feel like as an internal conversation, this is Shuri reconciling the benefits of having opened up Wakanda to the outside world with the dangers, suggesting that she's been more ambivalent about this issue than she's let on.

In the final piece, the conversation turns to the kinds of rulers that her family members were. Ramonda's bravery, T'Chaka's hypocrisy, T'Challa's nobility, and N'Jadika's ruthlesness. This is, to me, the crux of the matter. Having come to grips with her own desire for revenge and the inevitable precariousness of Wakanda's situation in the world in order to do what's right, Shuri is now confronted with the uncomfortable truth of how she feels about her departed family members. All three of these people (maybe even her cousin in a way) are people that she's mourned in what to her is about a two year period (minus the blip). In the glow of mourning, it's comforting to beatify our departed loved ones; it's a way of insulating us from our own feelings of anger, loss, even betrayal of the death of a loved one. But now, each in turn, Shuri is left to confront the fact that even though she loved her mother, father, and brother, she also knew their various strengths and flaws. This can be a painful revelation to accept, the hardest of all probably that deep down, she really does feel like T'Challa was too noble, or at least too short-sighted with his nobility. Moreover, the guilt of finding common ground with Killmonger, not just about the revenge aspect (for a short time), but more pointedly, in the need for ruthless, pragmatic decision-making is jarring. Though for someone so science-minded, someone always looking for the better solution, someone who is not bound by sentimental attachment to tradition, it does make quite a bit of sense. Killmonger was able to do what he did because he had no attachment to the traditions of Wakanda, hated them even. To him, Wakanda was a means to an end, a way to gain power for both personal and political reasons.

To me, this last part is what informs Shuri's approach to taking up the mantle and her eventual truce with Namor. These are matters of practicality. She knows M'Baku is right about the consequences of killing him, both for Wakanda and Talocan, who she knows to just be people living their lives. In that moment, Shuri does show us who she is, a compassionate but ruthlessly pragmatic person. If a truce is what keeps oblivion at bay today, then it's a truce. I don't believe that someone as unsentimental as Shuri believes that this means that Namor is a changed man, nor will it stop her from designing countermeasures to his army after she gets back, or turning her attention to the world and it's desires for vibranium. In these matters, I expect Shuri to take a realistic look at the world, Wakanda's situation, and strike ruthlessly when the time comes for action.

“I think he’s had by far the most interesting life story of any MCU character, and that’s all because the craziest of the shit happened in like, the most recent month of his life.”

I'm not watching Kong: Skull Island and you can't make me. I've just spent three months of my life #watchinggodzillas and I'm going to see Godzilla x Kong tonight in 3D. But I do have enough time to watch @luluclemons @newrockstars break it down for me before I go to the theater. I totally got the idea from watching Godzilla vs Kong last night and I'm very ready to rejoin society and stop watching these films now.

NewRockStars Launches Triple Crown Unsigned Talent Search That Seeks To Connect Professional MMA Fighters With The Top Unsigned Musicians

NewRockStars, the new premiere online platform for discovering new music and unsigned talent, has launched its Triple Crown Unsigned Talent Search. The competition is the first "original music" talent search to crown three grand prize winners, including the best-unsigned artist, the best-unsigned rapper, and the best-unsigned band. The competition is open to all unsigned artists, rappers, and bands that write, record, and perform original music. All three winners will take home over 25k in prizes and gear, including licensing deals, all expenses paid trips to perform at industry events, sponsorships, and more. Among those prizes are licensing opportunities to collaborate with a UFC fighter to write and produce the fighter's next walkout song that will debut during a live televised fight. "We've approached this competition asking ourselves how we can serve these musicians. What do they need? What kind of opportunities will bring the most impact and advantage for them?" said NewRockStars co-founder and V.P. of A&R, Lisa Rodriguez. "We built this competition based on these questions and have been scouring the internet to find the most promising acts out there. Most of these artists have already built up some kind of audience, so it's not just about exposing them to a wider audience; it's about connecting them with more epic and lucrative opportunities for their music than they could achieve on their own." The submission and judging process happens over many months. Read the full article

The Mandalorian Ep 1-3 (TOP 3 Things You Should Know About Mandalorians) Three episodes in and The Mandalorian is still holding up. Like I said before, it's solid like Carbonite and precious like Beskar. Great story telling, nice progression in the plot, awesome performance by Pedro Pascal (through body language and voice acting essentially), and extremely meme-able with all quotes and gifs. Negative side, 30 minute run time on these episodes. But hey, we'll take quality of quantity. Lastly, of course, the best part for me is that this show is going heavy in the Star Wars lore. As such, you can skip to 10:10 time stamp to see the TOP 3 things you should know about the Mandalorians. SPOILERS AHEAD.
