There was a solution to the question about an advanced nation not having a more modernized government. They simply got a more modernized government.
The issue about the missing gods is a valid one if he never answers the question. But if he's just not answering right noe, that's no big deal. So we'll see.
I don't think he really did because he asked a philosophical question. The question of, "why?"
IMO, to answer that question, he had to show:
#1: Why Wakanda royalty was bad for the Wakandan people. And even more specific, why T'CHALLA as king was bad for Wakanda.
#2: Why the new government would fix what was wrong with #1
He didn't do that. The only satisfactory way to answer those problems is to put real life stuff (democracy better), off panel stuff into it. From a meta view, yes, Monarchy eventually sucks. Yes, the people should have a voice. Yes, tribal fights to decide who gets to be a superpowered king is probably pretty dumb.
But the comic universe isn't real life. The same rules don't apply. You can't ask a question and then turn around and go, "just put real life **** in" and move on.
This is especially more difficult because problem #1 means shitting on the main character of the book. It is doable, but Coates didn't do it. Well, I guess he did **** on T'challa, but not in a way that answers #1 or #2.
... and then he turned around and had T'challa act in full authority in Season 2 and that full autonomy lead to saving the country.

I think in the end the monarchy itself wasn't a problem... the monarchy itself actually remained intact.
But I think the inherent problem was that people who were unhappy with government didn't have enough to a voice. The reason we ended up getting a more democratic system is essentially the same reason we ended up getting one everywhere else. In the end, people got what they wanted. Whether or not it's actually an improvement in a practical sense remains to be seen, but the problem was addressed without Wakanda actually losing the monarchy.
And in the comic book universe, real life rules apply when writers decide they apply. Because in theory people in comics can have the same problems as they do in real life, and the same methods of dealing with those problems can apply. Which isn't to say they HAVE to... but it can.
Ultimately this was about having your cake and eating it too. T'CHalla is still king, which allows him to pretty much do all the things he needs to do for storytelling purposes. But the people still get a modernized government which gives them a voice. So everyone wins there.
thanks for posting this. Never forget. When T'Challa use to dagger you that's all they wrote. Plus Ultra'd baby.
CJP, Hudlin, Liss, McDuffie .....you are missed. (Honorable mention to McGregor).
When T'Challa stabbed Namor it was just some normal blade. Namor snapped it with ease. I don't even think Hickman's was Vibranium or anti-mental just some normal steel. Let's also not forget the Black Bolt disrespect.

T'challa made it in the top 10 of strongest F4 members.
9. BLACK PANTHER
In the wake of Civil War, Sue and Reed Richards temporarily left the team to patch up their marriage. Filling in for them were the new husband and wife duo of Black Panther and Storm.
The king of Wakanda brought his unique set of powers and resources to the team, making up for the absence of Mr. Fantastic’s super-genius level of intellect. Black Panther played an instrumental role in the team’s victories over Galactus, Silver Surfer, and the Frightful Four.

Are you guys STILL talking about the "translation" of T'Challa?
I wonder what T'Chaka stands for... "He who dies to drive the plot", maybe?
I suppose this would be a bad time to mention that "Ororo", in Swahili, translates to "soft, mild".
(And "vegetable oil" in Yoruba. )
Seriously, move on. I seriously doubt Coates cares as much as you folks do.
Bast's little kittens...
you forgot to mention it origins in Nigerian means "beauty" which is where I think Claremont referenced as in the comics ororo means beauty

As much as I love T'Challa in the Avengers, I think you can argue FF was really the best usage of him on a team.
It's a small intimate cast, where there was no overlap of redundancy as far as what T'Challa brought to the table. With no Captain AMerica or Iron Man around, there were specific things which T'CHalla was the default go-to guy for. He arguably shined better in that particular team setting than any other.
