Thank you for understanding and it's alright we all have moments when our love for something gets the better of us.
No worries my friend.

As regards what Priest did with the Dora Milaje concept he created in the first place?

Surprisingly nothing other than to establish them as an incredibly accomplished and deadly component of his overall arsenal.

Much has been made as to the relative ages of the two Dora's Priest had accompanying T'challa during his run but unfortunately most detractors have wilfully chosen to ignore the fact that T'challa was never shown taking advantage of the Dora's symbolic status as "wives in training" or the additional fact that age of consent even in some Western countries such as the UK, happens to be 16 so it's not as if Priest presented something that flew entirely in the face of logic.

Reginald Hudlin's depiction of the Dora Milaje diverged a great deal away from Priest's wherein the Dora's were depicted as a very distinctive arm of the Wakandan armed forces and elite bodyguards to the King in particular and Royal Family in general.

There was nothing unambiguous about their ages or status in relation to T'challa and this remained the same all the way through to Hickman's New Avengers were the Dora's uniformly turned away from supporting T'challa due to his secret dealings with Namor as a member of the Illuminati at a time when Wakanda was at war with Atlantic.

Towards the ending of Time Runs Out, the Dora Milaje were shown standing side by side with Queen Shuri and T'challa facing off against Proxima Midnight and her forces.

Coates decided to ignore all of that and create an artificial schism between T'challa and the Dora's so as to create a foundation for the artificial gender unbalance he introduced into the BP mythos to facilitate his own take on T'challa and the aforementioned BP Mythos.
