    that's not the issue that they are protecting African nations. the issue is that one happe s to be Ororo's home country which could lead to potential conflict between Ororo and Tchalla which I dont want.

Lmao the idea that T'Challa is potentially anti-mutant when he's been running around with BOTH Ororo and Manifold in Wakanda and that's on top of him offering sanctuary for Nehzno and Muti (the mutant from Shuri's solo).
    Yea Tchalla is taking a stand and considering the things his country has experienced I can understand his position.

    They both will choose their respective positions, and from a narrative standpoint, we know why that is. Neither are exactly wrong in their decision, so bashing one or the other because---Waaaah! Why isn't Ororo or T'Challa standing by her/his significant other? Waaaah!--is not productive at all considering Hickman is writing a very "Shades of Grey" kind of narrative.

    Plus, this will give me post AvX/Divorce fallout teas, and those times were hella annoying.

    So once they make their positions known to one another (T'Challa basically has, going by HOX 5), they will probably split up--assuming they don't weather the storm (pun definitely intended).

    And to add to that, there's probably a reason NuNakia is hanging around, unless she dies or something in the next few chapters of BP.
    I hope you are wrong and I hope that Nunakia h@e does a tragic, horrible death... nah she just need to find a man in her own timeline. and stop being a homewrecker ok!!! t'choro forever!!!

    I see both sides. I think Wakanda is completely in the right to distrust the mutants after AvX. And while I am cool with how Coates has portrayed the relationship with T'Challa/Ororo from what I've seen, if you're asking me to make a binary choice between seeing Ororo with the mutants or Ororo with T'Challa and Wakanda it's door #1 every time. And it'll always be that way for her, IMO.
    I'm on the side where both sides will be sensible and understand each others position. but time will tell.

    I hope not. coates said this is his favorite or one of his favorite wakandan couples. I dont see it going down without him fighting for it.

    yup I would be on high alert if i were a nation that did not recognize krakoa.

I don't think one of the smartest men on the globe would look at this scenario and think to himself, "oh, wow. Gee, that's a good idea."

    It makes very little sense to someone who has a fondness for T'Challa and HIS personal sensibilities. Anyone who actually knows him should know that he walked away from the illuminati because he correctly deduced that they all were headed to calamity.

    Your points about Kenya, which I really didn't consider until you brought it up, only serve to harden my resolve. T'Challa managed to bring Kenya into play and under HIS protection. Isnt that EXACTLY how Coates uses her in Wakanda? Isnt that HER role in his mythos according to HIS and SHURI'S solo? She was elevated to a protector of Wakanda - HIS HOME? Well, that's exactly what this story suggest he's done for Kenya. He's taken them under his protection and is providing aid. This certainly isnt his first time either. Are we seriously about to play like he hasn't donated BILLIONS to the mutant casyse prior to this? Again, I think many of the biases that come into against his character and the relationship with Storm tends to cloud what seems pretty logical to me. He loves Stotm and he himself has placed her on a pedestal in his country. Her given place one that can only be described as rivaling that of Bast herself. And now he's managed to take Kenya under his protection? That actually sounds like a gesture of love.

    Excuse me, sir. You win my undying affections. I'm not sure how anyone that loves him and has an understanding of HIS love language in regards to Storm could ever assume he doesn't accept her because openly and blindly accept Xavier, Magneto, Apocalypse, Selene, Frenzy, Sabertooth, Daken so on and so forth. A genuine understanding of his role and what he stands for couldn't possibly be allow for this line of thinking. That's why I'm saying the only way this particular lome of thinking holds any weight is if someone already personally doesn't like him and as a vested interest in seeing the relationship come to an end. PERIODT.

    Say it louder for the worshippers of Hadari Yao all the way back in Alkama. Thank you and YES!

    Yaaaasssss to all of this.. thank you for knocking some sense back into my head!!! I love the parallels you have brought to the forefront, each of them playing the role of protector in each other's home nation. Wouldnt it be amazing if through this parallelism we see them somehow usher in a new age where mutants and humans alike coexist without the need for separation?
    ALL HAIL THE HADARI YAO, THE OMEGA'S OMEGA, BEYOND OMEGA, THE VOICE OF SOL!!!! NOW AGAIN THE ONE TRUE AND ONLY GODDESS OF THE X-MEN AS CLAREMONT INTENDED!!!!!

    Personally for me, the use of the word brother and sister triggers something cult-y. I know that within context, Scott and Jean are her family, but I cannot let go of that stigma with cults using those terms casually. And within her personality, she tends to be formal sometimes. It's just within the context of everthing that is happening that I don't blame some readers finding it a bit cult-y.

    But I do agree with everything else you said.

    Jalysia everything you said is plausible and it falls in line with my personal interpretation quite nicely. The fact that they are two different people and their priorities are bound to be different, it makes sense that they'd come down on different sides of this issue.

    What I find a little confusing is the idea that they'll be at odds BECAUSE he doesn't support mutants. How does that hold up to scrutiny? He's literally poured billions of his own money into mutant affairs. He harbors mutants within the borders of his country. Storm, Manifold, Gentle, and Shuri's new friend Muti fly right in the face of that.

    There will be drama, but it won't be because he doesn't accept mutants or because he harbors anti-mutant sentiment. Ideologically it will be because mutants have a nation that's literally without borders. You plant a seedling and you have a Krakoa gateway. Why would he allow one within the borders of Wakanda when its clear any mutant can come through the gate? And no humans are allowed.

    The only mutant that we know he truly can't stand is Namor. But as someone mentioned in another thread, he was in full support of Jean's initiative in X-men: Red. Since that time what has changed? The mutants are harboring criminals and they're dealing out their own criminal justice. A mutant could potentially commit a crime (Sabertooth) and then other mutant s could swoop in to demand that they handle his detainment. He has a better relationship with Reed and Sue than anyone in the X-books save for Storm. You think he hasn't heard about the incident involving Cyclops and the mention of Reed's first born? I kinda understand why people chose to interpret the cultist vibe, but I disagree. Not because it's totally out of the realm of possibility, but because I want to believe Storm is operating with her own sense of agency. The ones who picked up on the cult vibes have legitimate claims. I want to believe Storm is better than that tho. That's just me.

    Here is where things get really interesting. While I want to believe that she has her own sense of agency, her exchange with BP under Priest calls this new status quo into question. Storm makes a point of telling T'Challa that he's in danger of becoming just like Magneto. It's a condemnation of the type of man she see him becoming. She isn't pleased. Fast forward to House of X #5 and now Storm is following closely in Magneto's footsteps. How does this gel with the woman that has always been all inclusive of the human experience as whole? (I mean besides not finding her OWN paternal bloodline.)

    Bottom line for me, idea of simply accepting the mutant nation of Krakoa isn't really so simple. It requires that Wakanda operates under a whole new set of principles. Wakanda has been successful all this time for rejecting the imperialism of modern society. Wakanda Janet forced themselves on anyone. Why would he turn around and let the mutants of Krakoa (including Magneto, Apocalypse, Selene, Emma Frost, Mystique and Sabertooth) turn around and dictate terms when it's clear that Wakanda doesn't need any of their goods?

    Why would T'Challa take any chances? Especially when Storm remains the token voice of minorities leadership in a space that is built on an overwhelming white mutant majority? I hope the answer isn't just because Storm says so. How did that work out when Bast judged her and said that she didn't think Storm gave herself fully to T'Challa and Wakanda? Storm checked her, and rightfully so.

    This new status quo with the X-Men, as well as the NuNakia in BP will be as big or as small on Ororo and T'Challa's relationship based on how Marvel has decided to move forward with their relationship in the comics. No amount of in-comic logic or even fan preference matters if they want them as a full-fledged couple, friends, or enemies. Personally, I hate the lover to enemy trope. I also hate that comic book readers and writers think it cool to pit them physically against each other. Turning two loving people into combatants is a trope, when layered with race (yes, the image of a black/African man and woman, in a media with next to no loving/romantic depictions of that kind of couple does matter), is something I cannot get onboard with.

    If it was made in 2018 the moderators probably closed it along with the other 2018 appreciation threads?

    I'm not really a fan of the BP/Storm marriage, but to this day I find AvX: Versus #5 to be one of the absolute most disgusting comics Marvel has ever published.

    It was basically domestic violence played out like a prize fight. That was ####ed up.

    Yes, them engaged in a physical fight was outrageous and not at all in their character. An ideological argument, sure, that makes a lot of sense for two strong-willed characters. It's crazy how many people were so excited to see a husband and wife engage in fisticuffs. WTF? That was the big promo (Storm vs BP) and people ate it up. Smh. I'm hoping writers don't revisit that kind of awful characterization. I don't see Coates doing that, but writers don't have ultimate control over the direction Marvel wants for the very characters they write.

    Okay... And, why wouldn't Ororo not want Kenya protected? Didn't Ororo help protect Wakanda recently?

    It's mutant name she chose for herself. In Hickman's story mutants have their human and mutant name. Scott answered "Cyclops" first before saying "Scott Summers".
