That cameo was one of the most unexpected scenes in the movie, respect for keeping it under wraps

[dionysisnance]

even in death killmonger had the best drip in wakanda

[satch]

Something interesting to note: Shuri was stabbed and almost died in the same manner as Killmonger during the last battle with Namor

[jsarmory]

I love how Shuri's suit looks like a blend between T'Challa's suit and Killmonger's suit, it shows his influence

[hauntingtheshadows]

I loved how Killmongers white sweater had the dotted fabric just like his scars

[bodydoublesecurity]

The fact that they were able to keep that under wraps this whole time in this age of instant knowledge is insane!

[Romayf]

this scene hit me tbh. it made me kinda understand a mostly unseen sign of grief. it’s anger turned into vengeance and how it can blind your perception and judgement.

[Lizzie_Rose]

My jaw physically dropped when I saw killmonger on the throne. Definitely the most unexpected scene for me

[SpartanManchie]

I would LOVE the idea of Killmonger and Queen Ramonda being permanently in Shuri's conscience. Or at the very least, Killmonger always being Shuri's spirit guide.

[KastsEcho]

They definitely hid him better in the trailers than they hid Andrew and Tobey in NWH's trailers.

[johnk.]

Ryan Coogler is the master at making Villains we love. Killmonger and Namor are top tier. This scene is the darkest and best from the movie. Just like Thanos, Killmonger is right.

[matttran]

During this scene I immediately thought back to Ramonda's retort, "What construct do you feel when you think of your brother? Does it offer you comfort or torment?"

[kel-A-]

Can we appreciate the phenomenal dialogue in this movie ?!

[jnutztheskullking]

You missed that Shuri DID answer Killmonger’s question. Shows that flashback when Shuri gets impaled.

[tahodio]

Namor said the same line earlier in the movie "how is never as important as why"

[janlim]

Its a psychoactive drug. It amplifies your current state of mind. And in Shuri's case it was about revenge, disbelief and rage.

[lmaoashley]

The theme of dealing with grief is the reason why this movie and Wandavision made the biggest emotional impact on me, even if they were not perfect pieces of media. They both made me cry lol

[petesantucci]

‪Shuri’s computer AI, voiced by Noah Trevor, is named Griot. In Africa, a griot is a musician/singer/storyteller who is a living archive of the cultural knowledge, genealogies, oral histories, and traditions of their people. They would often act as an advisor to African royalty. ‬

[TheLastGuardian]

Elicited collective gasps from the audience when he showed up! Glad MBJ came back to do another scene, one of the best surprises in Wakanda Forever

[notmephisto]

What an amazing journey and character arc Shuri went on. I think it's one of the MCU's best and to me it came completely unexpectedly.
