'Only the Bones Remain'

Namor with Shuri is objectively not "romanticized abuse" for two simple facts.

1. they did not have a personal, domestic relationship violence between them.

2. it was under the flag of war (impersonal). It was politics.

While we are at it, this is what the creatives said about their scenes in Talokan! No "manipulation" or "using" Shuri here as claimed. I recommend consulting the actual creators (credible firsthand sources) who know what the hell they are talking about instead of an opinionated fan article.

If you call Namor Shuri's "abuser" or deem shipping them "romanticized abuse," you don't know what abuse is. You are not only being disingenous, but misunderstanding-weaponizing terms and taking away the gravity of them. All over shipping.

Namor did not "abuse" Shuri or is her "abuser," but his actions did hurt Shuri. Regardless if he meant it personally or not. Regardless of his "reasons" or it being war, he still was wrong and caused mass destruction resulting in too much casualties. He also should atone. That is a point worth discussing.

Rather than, you know — spreading harmful misinformation or misconstruing what abuse is and shitting on the narrative of Wakanda Forever (because you don't like a ship or want anyone else to like it)... You can just be normal and say you don't like the ship because of valid reasons such as he killed her mom and waged war against her nation (for starters).
