How do Black Panther fans feel about Storm?

Poll forthcoming.

Been reading some very mixed messages on the interwebs about this topic (here and elsewhere), so I wanted a better idea of what's going on.

How do "Black Panther - first" (i.e. Tchalla is your favorite character, or at least more favorite than Ororo herself) feel about the romance as it has been officially depicted?

Mega Love it? Mega Hate it? Don't care at all? Has the romance with Storm been an overall positive or negative for Black Panther and his mythos? And why do you think that?

To be clear, I'm curious about this only from the perspective of Black Panther- first fans, as I have gotten a pretty clear idea of how many Storm- first fans feel about the romance from the X-forum.

Overall it’s been a huge negative. It all started with the X-Office being petty ever since Avengers vs X-Men and throwing shade at T’challa at every chance they get. Not helping matters is that the BP franchise is currently being run by a Storm fanboy who makes it clear he could give **** all about T’challa. Why else would he reduce Wakanda to being the embodiment of every negative African stereotype you could think of and having Storm upstage T’challa In his own damn book. Oh well at least I have the MCU and Queen Nakia.

I'm enjoying the relationship right now. I think Coates writes the couple pretty well.

[DragonsChi]

I don't think they should be together in any sense long term. Marriage was a really bad idea for them.

There overall themes, characterization, and continual plot points are way to different for one side not to suffer from the other.

They should be separated and/or form relationships that better suit them and is more natural for their on-going stories.

I’m a Black Panther fan and I happen to love Storm.

At first I wasn't really fond of it, but Coates really old me on the couple... Still I do prefer Monica Lynne

Though I prefer Storm, I do feel bad Monica was sort of erased from the characters life. The stuff McGregor did with them was great.

I liked it as a kid, but I'd prefer T'Challa to be with someone in his own mythos. Putting 2 big characters from two different mythos really doesn't work. Super Wonder and Wonder Bat are great examples of that. It's hard to make both fanbases consistently happy.

In the right hands, they can be done well.

Just won't be done well in an X-book.

I like the Lynne relationship because it was centered around a conflict; Storm/T'Challa thing never had enough dramatic tension for me

I loved the Couple as written by Messrs Priest, Hudlin, McDuffie and Liss.

Coates writes an excellent fanfic Storm, whilst portraying T'challa as a chump in his own book.

As far as Coates take on T'challa and Storm?

Utter rubbish.

Post AvX, T'challa deserves better.

I liked the arc where Hudlin had them get married. I have not read any of the Coates handling of Storm in BP's recent history so I can not truthfully answer the pole. It is hard to get up the desire to read the recent stuff since so many of the BP fans (that I trust), seem so down on it.

[The Librarian is Open]

Coates and his take on the relationship has been a true wonder to behold. Fans of Hudlin’s union are sure to enjoy this take on them.

I can totally get behind that.
