Shuri Makes Banner Look So Stupid in This INFINITY WAR Clip

With ten years worth of Marvel characters to fit into Avengers: Infinity War, and already knowing there’s roughly enough confirmed for the movie to fill Bhagwan’s compound, it’s easy to assume not everyone will get their moment to shine, especially the newer characters. Not so! At least one character introduced this calendar year is going to show up one of the MCU’s heaviest heavyweights. While making an appearance on Good Morning America, actress Letitia Wright, who kicked all sorts of ass playing T’Challa’s sister Shuri in Black Panther, showed off a clip where Shuri makes Bruce “Seven PhDs” Banner look like a damn fool.

We saw the clip courtesy of io9. It’s a short clip (less than 30 seconds) starting just after four minutes into the video, but we get a lot out of it in terms of storyline. We see Vision (Paul Bettany) lying on the exam table. Obviously, the big ol’ Infinity Stone in his frigging head is going to be a major plot point of the movie, and in addition to Shuri and Banner (Mark Ruffalo), we also see Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen), T’Challa (Chadwick Boseman), and Steve Rogers (Chris Evans) in the background along with some Dora Milaje. We’ve pretty much figured out who is or is not going to be defending Earth from Wakanda, but this proves the timeline a little bit better.

And, boy what an idiot Dr. Banner is. He didn’t think of reprogramming the synapses to work collectively?!?! I mean what first year physics(???) student doesn’t know that? Psh, come on! Hulk is smarter than that.

Honestly, I’ll just take Shuri’s word that it was a simple thing to think about, but it proves how frigging intelligent she is. Science on Wakanda makes science everywhere else in the world look like the damn Neolithic.

If you hadn’t heard, Avengers: Infinity War hits theaters April 27.
