Shuri and Black Panther have the advantage of vibranium while Tony can make technology at par with relative common resources or better say he can even create his own atoms

[@TheFlyingClutchman]

@@LearningAI im not sure of how it works but I know that vibranium can even be used to either create power or store it or both. That's why wakanda has airships that would require a nuclear fusion power source to work, much like Stark's arc reactor. I'm not denying that Shuri is a genius cos she defo is. But she had the one material that makes everything easier. Stark built a pocket sized version of the arc reactor in a cave, went on to refine it and built iron-man suits powered by it. The nano-suit is extra special because jarvis is connected to every nano-bot so it can freely adapt and change to suit every and any situation. It is much more than just armour. If stark had vibranium his suit would literally be invisible lol. The black panther suit is nothing more than armour. It can't do anything beside storing itself in the necklace and redirecting kinetic energy. So I think stark made a superior suit with worse materials at hand. In Shuri's defense Stark has many years of experience on her.

[@misterlich2826]

To help with the context of this scene - this isn't a jury trial, it's a Senate hearing. Those are just witnesses/reporters/etc.. The significance of this scene is that the senators could theoretically take Iron Man suits away from Tony but he made it politically suicidal to do it because he has the entire nation's will behind him. That was why he showed them clips of stuff and made a show for the public behind him.

[@kbanghart]

Disconnected from the real world? This is a superhero universe (multiverse)

[@JedRayner]

@@kbanghart I think the point the original commenter was trying to make was about the recent creative direction the MCU has taken towards, well, as you mentioned---the multiverse---with all these interconnecting narratives, and arguably overly confusing timelines. The reason some people, and I think the commenter above, enjoyed the original MCU movies, with self contained, grounded storylines, was because of their connection to our world as it exists in the modern day. Including of course, a government that moves and acts as a force of authority (albeit undermined by Stark's technology, and their limited knowledge of the scale of their universe), one that makes use political processes, and bureaucratic solutions. It seems the Avengers now eclipse much regulation, and have been in a way integrated with our peace keeping world-saving organizations so much so that they need no longer be made the focus. There, the viewer gets to see how the fantastical element of this superhero world interacts with our existing establishments and diplomatic processes. It's fascinating in and of itself to view how our systems hold up to the stresses of unknown and emerging technology in the real world, like AI, but to be able to see how the US military and the DOD, an organization so vast and influential, would react to sci fi tech, and the possibility that they've been eclipsed in R&D by measurable centuries is such a fun thought experiment. How the MCU is held down to our modern day governmental and institutional standards is a big reason I watched the original films. Recently, (assumably because they needed an expansion and evolution of their narrative) the MCU has expanded to the point of becoming an acid trip of a watch for someone who couldn't follow the logic of the most basic time travel movie. The narratives are intertwined to the point of undermining the integrity of individual stories. It feels like invented institutions and branches of government have emerged without much of the expected bureaucratic hell-scape of regulation they would likely be. They act with a sort of impunity, which although in canon their actions are explained by some loose directives or by-laws, don't feel grounded to actual legal procedure. They have become essentially troops of thug-like goons with no gov. pencil pushers to cap their power. In short, I am a huge nerd for political, bureaucratic, and diplomatic processes, and how the supernatural and sci fi tether to the modern day, and would love to see that come back.
