Re: Namor x Shuri working from a storytelling standpoint
I stumbled on a post trying to give an analysis of how Namor and Shuri “don’t work” from a storytelling standpoint. After reading several of the objectionable points made and realizing I’ve seen them all before, I felt like trying my own hand to exemplify why these kinds of criticisms against “Nashuri” don’t actually work. I didn’t directly reblog to avoid being convoluted or dogpiling, but I’ll be responding to specific points throughout.

The Oxymoron of Improbable and “Non-Sensical” Story Writing
In the context of specifically Wakanda Forever’s story and nothing else, yes: as of now, Namor and Shuri being a romantic couple does not make “sense.”
However, there is no such thing as a ship that doesn’t make sense from a story-writing perspective.
With your pen, reality can be shaped according to your whim, or elements can be bent to fit the mold of a given reality. Story-writing-wise, anything can happen, and anything can work with the proper execution. A good writer knows how to suspend the reader’s disbelief and make the seemingly improbable, seem probable.
