i want tony to meet shuri because she is the future, she is the future that he desperately was trying to build toward, the future that he dreamed of where the next generation can do better and be smarter than him so that the world would be safe and protected, so that he wouldn’t have to be afraid
when he sees shuri, he will know that the future is in good hands and he won’t ever have to fear because she can take care of it all
he will see that the world doesn’t need tony stark anymore, it needs shuri, and that’s all he ever wanted, someone who can do for the world what he can’t do
he’s the past, shuri is the future
and he would be glad
