T'Challa introducing the Avengers to his sister is interrupted when Atlanteans led by Tiger Shark attack New York.

Tropes:

  • All There in the Manual: Per Marvel, this new season is actually a different reality from the previous season.
  • Annoying Younger Sibling: Shuri, for T'Challa.
    Iron Man: Sisters, am I right?
    T'Challa: You have no idea...
  • Art Shift: The show has a new art style to bring it more in line with Spider-Man. Consequently, most of the heroes have different looks.
  • Chuck Cunningham Syndrome: A few regarding any member of the Avengers. Falcon, Hulk, Ant-Man, Wasp, Vision and Jane Foster are all gone without any explanation. Hawkeye, meanwhile, has simply been Put on a Bus.
  • Failed a Spot Check: Shuri's so busy chewing out T'Challa she fails to notice Tiger Shark sneaking up behind her.
  • Greater-Scope Villain: Tiger Shark's the main enemy of the episode, but it's made clear there's someone else he's working with, however reluctantly.
  • The Knights Who Say "Squee!": Kamala is overjoyed to meet Shuri.
  • The Power of Trust: Early on, it's made clear that while T'Challa might consider the Avengers teammates, friends would be pushing it, and they know very little about him as a person.
  • Retcon: Back in her previous appearance, Shuri spoke with an English accent on account of having gone to university there. Now, she doesn't.
