Shuri (NBP) Appreciation

[Victor Freeman]

I just like to know would you be saying the same thing if, people was saying they wonder if they would be based out of Atlantis.

I would guess not. And I never said they would be I said look like. But it is not clear that they aren't. Until Hickman say other wise everyone is guessing even you.

Precisely. Honestly, if it was reversed--I would just accept what has been said--T'challa is the central character and he has some big role in the over all scheme that all the former Black Panther editors (Joe Q, Axel and Tom) seem to be excited about.

I still think Shuri will play a role down the line. I would say the same if Namora was in her place.

[Rheged]

I'm aware that they are a non-team. I will just call them NA like the title of the book and because I want too. She might not find out until years end and that's fine. I didn't specify a deadline. But the Non-team is meeting in Wakanda--like it or not. They are meeting back there and will continue to meet there until otherwise shown. Necropolis is probally best place anyway--as no one but the Dora's, The Panthers and who they invite are welcome. Bat appers there ---So all in all--I'll stick with what's reasonable, they will operate out of Wakanda which is Ground Zero for the entire situation, where they are building the incursion device and where Black Swan is T'challa prisoner.

Not neccesarily, and, again, is not the same the same as saying the Illuminati are based there or have their HQ there.

Aren't the Dora's supposed to be loyal to the Queen, the Black Panther, the ruler of Wakanda?

I like both Black Panther and Namor so it does not matter where they're based from. But some fans like to cry because they think, it will make their character look like he or she is less.

Which is not how Hickman is writing this no matter where they are based from.

LOL! When lacking any support for your argument, immediately deflect.

And no, I'm not guessing. The Illuminati isn't a team. It doesn't have an HQ, it doesn't have a base where they 'hang out.'

What does it matter as long as we get a good story, and where they're based does not matter.

Because they will most likely spend more time fighting on other earths. The good part is reading and finding out.

[JaggedFel]

The logical assumption is they are based out of Wakanda because that is what has been showing up in the comic. You Rheged have no proof they are not besides your anti-Black Panther bias.

Where have you read where I said they was a team, you was having that argument with someone else. so don't try to pass it to me.

All I've talked about was where they might be based, so read my post before you reply.

No, that's the illogical assumption of someone that doesn't understand what the Illuminati are. The Illuminati MEET in different places, they aren't BASED in one place.

Anti-Black Panther bias is proof? I'm not biased against Black Panther. I just find the statements of some of his fans ridiculous.

Where have you read where I said they was a team, you was having that argument with someone else. so don't try to pass it to me.

Teams are BASED somewhere, not a group of power mongers like the Illuminati. Just like they don't have a leader, they don't have a base.

[Joe Acro]

I don't know why the semantics on a base or a meeting place are so important to drift the topic away from Shuri, but yet it is. Focus, people.

The Illuminati was born in Wakanda and if they continue to operate out of Wakanda then Shuri should have some involvement.

[Rheged]

Fine. I repeat, aren't the Dora's supposed to be loyal to the Queen, the Black Panther, the ruler of Wakanda?

Doesn't that mean the Dora are betraying their trust to Shuri by following T'challa's wishes?

[Rheged]

Wakanda bowed out of participating in the Illuminati, and the Illuminati operate in a variety of places without inviting any of the rulers of those countries.

No.

Shuri is the Queen of Wakanda and Black Panther to the living. Tchalla is the King of the dead. The Dora's continue to fulfill their duty to their nation.

[Genki Sudo]

So am I the only one who thinks Shuri and Valkyrie could strike up a great friendship?

[XPac]

The Illuminati was born in Wakanda and if they continue to operate out of Wakanda then Shuri should have some involvement.

The thing with the Illuminati is that a part of their MO is keeping their existance a secret from all their friends, family, and loved ones. So it's possible that T'Challa might end up keeping this a secret from Shuri.

Plus, if T'Challa feels Namor is needed in the group then he might not trust Shuri NOT to move against Namor while T'Challa still feels he's of use to them.

Of course, I'm only speculating. It's possible T'Challa did inform Shuri of all of this, and she's cool with all of it... including Namor's involvement. Despite my initial impression of Shuri as a bit of a hot head, she's so far been a pretty mellow ruler.
