With an emotional but confusing content, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever brought a truly satisfying ending, along with a post-credits scene (an additional excerpt at the end of the movie). extremely attractive. Bringing the breath of serenity and peace, this scene has much more to analyze than that.
First of all, this can be considered the best post-credits scene ever of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Unlike most of the previous films, the “side story” scene of Black Panther 2 contains a lot of meanings, resonated by the beautiful setting, natural acting, and strangely peaceful atmosphere, without having to be confused. funny jokes, or introduce “shocking” things. Shuri went to Haiti to stay with Nakia after many ups and downs in Wakanda, then she herself received the most unexpected and meaningful “gift”.
The appearance of Toussaint – the son of T’Challa and Nakia speaks volumes. He is the secret that the late queen always wanted to reveal to Shuri. He is also the reason why Nakia separated from Wakanda for 6 years, couldn’t even attend T’Challa’s funeral. In addition, he is also a proof of T’Challa’s love and maturity as a real man. Remember in part 1, T’Challa’s father told him that a person who does not know how to prepare carefully for his or her death for their child is not worthy to be a father. And at the end of this second part, Nakia said that T’Challa had prepared well for mother and daughter to be ready for a life without him.

A Toussaint appeared that really “healed” Shuri’s wounded soul. Black Panther 2 took so much from her – a brother, a mother, and even her innocence. Shuri was almost possessed by resentment, but she successfully returned to herself. And Toussaint is the compensation that Shuri needs most right now, a new reason for her to start a new chapter of her life.
Shuri gives up the throne at the end
That is on the positive side. As for the not so positive side, the appearance of Toussaint is a threat. Not only the son of Nakia and T’Challa, Toussaint is also the crown prince of the main street of Wakanda. When T’Challa fell, in fact the next heir to the throne should be Tuossaint. Therefore, the future is unknown, and tomorrow’s Toussaint can still return to Wakanda and claim what belongs to him, especially the throne that is (apparently) belongs to M’Baku.
On the other hand, Toussaint’s status could cause other consequences, affecting the unity of Wakanda because of the possession for the throne. That is if everyone knew such a Toussaint existed.
M’Baku is the leader of Wakanda
Not stopping there, Toussaint also has the potential to become the next Black Panther. Shuri became the Black Panther to protect Wakanda, but she just wanted to lead a quiet life, even without the throne. Therefore, Toussaint can also be seen as the next inspiration for the young generation of Marvel superheroes.
Nakia wishes to keep Toussaint away from royal pressure
That’s why the after-credits of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever is so good. No need to try to introduce unexpected new names, top stars join, just a boy with a special identity is enough to create countless unimaginable possibilities.
The love crystallization of T’Challa and Nakia is worth looking forward to
Black Panther: Wakanda Forever is showing in theaters nationwide.
