Did you know that in 'BLACK PANTHER WAKANDA FOREVER'...

[mikewmccann]

If I remember correctly, you need to keep taking the heart shaped herb to maintain the strength of the Black Panther. Without it you just become a regular person again. So whatever was killing T’Challa was likely already there, but the heart shaped herb kept the illness at bay. This would make more sense because it is essentially what Namor’s people did when the conquistadors came to their land and brought their illnesses.

If I’m not mistaken, they say in the movie, the T’Challa had an illness that he was keeping from everybody like how Chadwick Boseman was doing in real life, so I believe they just gave T’Challa the same story as Chadwick Boseman as a Momento

The higher pitched mocking call of the jabari is probably one of the funniest noises to come out the jabari yet

I'm Swazi (African 😏😏). If you hear M'bakus chants in some parts of this country and you alone. Start running. Day or night 🤣🤣🤣

The last part with M'baku is like when your older sister tells you to behave and your mom backs HER up

[DemitriBrownComedy]

there's a way to reverse the affects of the herb. he did it for his fight with m'baku and Killmonger

[Abz_Qasim]

Mad I didn’t know former UFC champion Kamaru Usman was in the movie 👀

[sortakindageese]

Usman just be doing side quests while waiting for Usman Edwards 3

The only hole in that theory would mean that Killmonger was essentially killing himself as well because he too would no longer have the heart shape herb for continuous use. Killmonger plays the long game and is a survivalist. He is also highly intelligent and very well versed in the history and knowledge of Wakanda. Even if he was not terminally ill he would still need the herb to continue receiving the strength of the black panther and without that power how long would he have sat on the throne and ruled the people of Wakanda considering his actions in the first place...

I think Shuri said Killmonger killed her brother because he burned the garden with the heart shaped herb and she was trying to synthesize another one moments before he died. To Charla, I was given the herb twice. Once, when he first became Black Panther, and then after he was defeated by Killmonger he received it again before the final fight in the movie. Shuri believes that if they have the original heart shaped herb that she could have saved her brother.

[MatthewERyan]

Wakanda Forever was such a well written movie

[copykatmoto]

I think they said it was vibranium poisoning from when him and killmonger fought on the rails carrying raw vibranium in the first black panther and when the heart shaped herb began to wear off the disease began to kill him and that’s why shuri was trying to replicate the herb so her brothers body would be able to filter the raw vibranium that was making him sick.

[adotanti]

No, the heart shaped herb is derived from viburnum. Meaning viburnum is coursing through his veins. When he was fighting Killmonger in the mines and destabilized the vibranium in their suits, it probably messed with the vibrainum in his system that gave him those powers, and ultimately led to his illness. But the heart-shaped herb being as powerful as it is, is the only thing that could have cured the corrupted vibrainium that was in his blood.

[Blitzcreeper]

So according to your theory Killmonger would have died eventually soon after the domination as well even if his plan succeeded. Neat.

[honestmanjr]

The theory I like is that when T'Challa was fighting Kill Monger for the throne he technically should have died but the heart-shaped herb and the ancestry plain let him borrow more time to live to bring peace to Wakanda, once there was peace he had to die and return the life he borrowed and return to the ancestry plain.

[kemzz]

T’challa didn’t die from not taking the herb again, the movie shows shuri saying that he kept it a secret and by the time he told her it was already too late, if it was related to the herb everyone’s would’ve already known it .

[rameshkaramthot-meou]

He died in real life, he never saw the final product the movie😭 R.I.P Chadwick Boseman

[TomJezhuZCruiz]

When the things that give you power can also kill you.

[jynthejedi]

In the actual context of the scene with Killmonger, Shuri was referring to the fact that if he hadn’t burnt all the herbs, she would’ve been able to synthesise a cure for T’Challa and in turn save him, because she had literally just done it using Namor’s bracelet which had raw traces of vibranium in the scene prior. They intentionally stayed away from saying what the illness was.
