Her power not only absolutely did linger, it was spread all over Wakanda. That was the entire point of the story and was shown clear as day in the final battle with the army. It was amped up to 11 when she was nearby, but that didn't mean it wasn't always there.

[QUOTE=Ezyo1000;3096223][B]Wow I didn't know M'Baku killing the King and thus starting the event's for the full force of the military going to the jabari lands wasn't the actual cause but actually it was because QDJ went on a date... Learn something knew everyday [/B][/QUOTE]
QDJ was told if Dora date, the tribes will go to war. Ramonda flat out told her that. If you were unaware of the scene then yeah ... you learned something new.

That is not what she said. She said the other tribes would stop talking and trading with her tribe. And the snubbed tribe might start fighting. That would be completely up to QDJs tribe. The others took a peaceful method.

[QUOTE=XPac;3096158]Yeah, I'd say the Wakandan government kinda sucked too. I hate to sound like a broken record, but when your country will go to war because a 16 year old girl goes on a date there are issues there
But T'CHalla is trying to improve the place. And that's the most we can expect.[/QUOTE]
Come on X, through the course of time starting even before Priest and Hudlin runs Wakanda was written as having some standard ripples of incidents as would most ideal fictional, benevolent kingdoms go, but even as you started to infer the last two years there seemed to be this odd desire to trash the kingdom and all the strength, and positive standing it had. This push seemed to come from beyond the characters own book even.

I would say fighting qualifies as war. But more than that, I'd say the fact that the system relies in 16 year old girls acting as political pawns to maintain peace is a clear indicator that there were severe problems that needed to be fixed. And I think that's the point of creating a democratically elected government and removing the Dora from the equation entirely ... they're actually bothering to try and resolve the problem rather than slapping a band aid on it. That's how a government is supposed to work, rather than with 16 year old girls acting as brides in training.

In simple terms, when you get used bad stuff happens. The upside of T'Challa being out of the spotlight is that it offers protection. Wakanda won't get blown up in stories Wakanda doesn't appear in. But when it does show up, it becomes a potential target. Any fictional city (Asgard, Attilan, Atlantis,etc) which shows up in an event will probably take a hit. That's the double edged sword of stepping out of limbo.

That is not a war. That is self defense. The fact that one person in a voluntary position is enough to quell tensions is equal to electing someone. The elected person has to volunteer and do their duties honorably as well. If the elected person gets caught behaving poorly the others tribes could just as easily snub that persons tribe.

Well the cultral relevance is that this concept of brides in waiting was practice by some African societies, may not go down with western sensibilities but in context of it was written better by previous writers, who's to say it needed fixed. This is all fantasy anyway.

The Dora system was just a band aide to cover up the actual problem. There were tensions in the tribes, and creating brides in training isn't an actual solution to that. At best it just buys them time.
But the good thing about the Dora rebellion is they HAVE to resolve their issues now. So it ended up a win win for everyone.

That is the downside of having mind controlling ( or whatever her powers were) super villains part of the equation. Once she was removed from the equation, a revolution became a simple conversation about reform that everyone agreed to easily enough.
But it's a comic book, not Cspan. So we need that stuff in there.

If its a comic than why are you fighting so hard against the system in place, while this story is boring?

I wasn't fighting against the system ... I'm just saying it showed how screwed up Wakanda was. Which I presume was the point of showing it in the first place. Screwed up government is an ideal environment for creating stories when you have a super hero king.
EDIT: Actually there is one part of the system I'm against. Using 16 year old girls. Personally I wish they were established as older.

Hudlin didn't need screwed up govt. to tell stories.
