Black Panther 2018 my summary, completed

In the distant past, [centuries ago]  on an Earth similar to our own, somewhere in the vast basin of the Nile river, five tribes were battling for control of the "alien metal Vibranium" that had crashed to the surface in a meteorite.

A warrior, named Bashenga, swallows a heart-shaped herb that was affected by the vibranium. It enhances him with superhuman abilities. He was the first "Black Panther." Realizing his strength, his tribe and three other tribes, of these five, submit to him as king. However, the Jabari tribe will not abandon their leader. The four tribes join under the Black Panther's dominion, and live in the land named Wakanda, somewhere in the Nile-river basin.

The Wakandans use the vibranium to develop highly-advanced technology, [which shields them from the imperial colonizers among other benefits]. They hid and separated from the rest of the world. When their kings attend international meetings, he pretends he is from a "developing" low-tech country.

In 1992,  Wakanda's King T'Chaka went to California, U.S. to visit his brother N'Jobu. T'Chaka accuses N'Jobu of "aiding crime" by assisting a black-market arms dealer, named Ulysses Klaue, to steal vibranium from Wakanda. N'Jobu's partner, named Zuri, said N'Jobu is guilty, ergo N'Jobu attacked Zuri. To stop this attack, T'Chaka kills N'Jobu. T'Chaka made arrangements for N'Jobu's son.

In 2016, an explosion assassinated king T'Chaka, so Prince T'Challa inherits the throne. Now, in the present [2018], T'Challa returns home to Wakanda, to be with his mother, Ramonda, and younger sister, Princess Shuri. Tradition requires him to prove his strength so T'Challa first drinks a potion that cancels his enhanced strength, then he formally invites anyone to challenge his claim as king, in "ritual" combat. A man named M'Baku, the leader of the mountain-dwelling Jabari Tribe, claims that T'Challa should not be king because he is not worthy of being king. The two duel. Even without super-strength, T'Challa overpowers M'Baku.

They crowned T'Challa. Then he drank an elixir made with the special herb that enhances his abilities. He saw a dream, where his dead ancestor, his father told him that he must be careful who he trusts.

Part II

In Britain, Klaue and Erik Stevens [N'Jobu's son] steal a Vibranium item from a museum. They find a buyer and meet him in Busan. T'Challa, led a team to that casino in Busan, Hanguk [South Korea]. The buyer is CIA agent Everett Ross. They all shoot at each other.

Klaue drove away so T'Challa's team chases until  Klaue crashes. T'Challa almost kills him, but cant while people are filming him. CIA took Klaue. 

The next day, during the interrogation, Klaue tells Ross that Wakanda's image is fake. It hides a technologically advanced civilization. Then Klaue's accomplice, Stevens, breaks Klaue out, from the interrogation. Ross gets severely injured ergo T'Challa brings him to Wakanda, where his younger sister Shuri can use the nation's advanced technology to save him. Klaue gets away.

While Shuri heals Agent Ross, T'Challa confronts Zuri about N'Jobu. Zuri reveals that T'Chaka killed N'Jobu when N'jobu attacked himself and adds that N'Jobu's son became a U.S. black ops soldier, naming himself "Killmonger". 
 
Elsewhere, Killmonger/Stevens kills his partner Klaue and brings his corpse to Wakanda. He goes and tells the tribal elders that as N'Jobu's son he is royal family and therefore claims the throne. Killmonger/N'Jadaka duels T'Challa, until N throws the wounded T'Challa over the edge of a cliff... to drown.

Part III

N'Jadaka swallows the heart-shaped-herb gaining super-power. On his orders they burn all the stores of this herb. Nakia manages to grab some as the rest blazes. 

King N'Jadaka starts to perform his father N'Jobu's plan to distribute super weapons to agents for conquering anybody who oppresses people of African ethnicity. They prepare the shipments of high-tech Wakandan weapons to send around the world.

Nakia, with the herb, led the royal family: Ramonda and Shuri to seek refuge from the new king. They went to the Jabari Tribe along with Ross. They find that the Jabari rescued T'Challa [kuz that is the "right thing to do; see talk page]. Nakia gives T'Challa the smuggled herb, so he heals from a coma state and gains super-strength. T'Challa returns to fight Killmonger, who dons his own Black Panther armor. 

Shuri and Nakia led the Dora Milaje and  Jabari troops to invade WakandaW'Kabi led the Wakandan army in defense. Agent Ross remotely pilots a jet and shoots down planes carrying the vibranium weapons that were being exported from Wakanda. 

King N'Jadaka duels T'Challa in a vibranium mine. Some tech disrupts both's armor so T'Challa manages to stab Killmonger. (Does he heal him? see talk page). T'Challa reclaims the throne and establishes an outreach center at the building where king T'CHAKA killed N'Jobu, to be run by Nakia and Shuri. (The end).

==Ending/Alternate Ending==
(Brief ending) T'Challa ate the smuggled herb, from Nakia. Now gaining super-strength he fought the enhanced king. T manages to stab K and reclaims the throne... does he bring the injured ex-king to healing? you decide which ending is better.
