She was the only person capable of removing his stone, although she ran out of time. Neither Stark, nor Banner were capable of doing that, thus Shuri has more smarts.
We don't know Stark wasn't capable of removing the stone, but what we do know is that Shuri would have designed Vision (his consciousness) better if she was involved in his creation. That is evident during her discussion with Banner.
It's only a mistake because you don't want Shuri to be as smart (or smarter) than Stark or Banner. The fact of the matter is, based on evidence we have, is that Shuri is smarter.
You're hilariously naïve.
Shuri still needs to understand the equipment she's playing with; just as Tony understood rocket tech and car batteries. It's both subjective and relative, though the indication for me is that Shuri suggested something about Vision which neither Stark nor Banner had even thought about. That wasn't Wakandan in nature - it's something that Stark & Banner could have done had they simply thought of it.

I came in here thinking that Rocket doesn't get enough credit for how smart he is. He's broken out of numerous prisons and has shown an aptitude for creating weapons out of scraps. Plus, we don't know if he's the creator of the rocket and/or spacesuits that the Guardians used throughout Vol. 2, both of which are technologies/gear that are pretty advanced.
Agreed. I dont think Strange is getting enough props here.
While nobody can dispute that Shuri is clearly a technological genius, rivalling or surpassing Tony Stark I think people are overlooking that she has a significant advantage in growing up with access to Wakandan technology and vibranium ( which in MCU is almost magic in what it can do).
Tony used early 21st century rocket tech to build an armoured suit and a power source, while his chest was hooked up to a car battery, in a freaking cave ! - to me that's more impressive than anything Shuri has done so far.
It's a bit like Isaac Newton said " If I have seen farther than others it was because I was standing on the shoulders of giants."
Shuri may indeed be more technologically gifted than Tony, but I suggest part of that comes from being part of a civilisation that was more technologically advanced than the one Stark came from to begin with and having access to vibranium which no one else on Earth has.
In fact that makes Stark's feats even more impressive - e.g. the nanotech suit.
I'm not a big Iron Man fan, but credit where credit is due.
Not seeing much love for Rocket Raccoon in this thread either.
