I know, and it was done in such a stupid, convoluted and so contrived manner that it's cringey that Marvel green lit it. And 100% Coates intended it. It's why the MA were the only ones who actually did anything about it (even though they knew about it and purposely kept it secret) and then it was made worse when Coates had Shuri telling rape victims they should of accepted their fate, shut up and does for the glory of the Golden City.. and Marvel let this clown run rampant and unabated for 4 year's...?

True, T'Challa's been the villain this entire run. Aren't they blaming him for the IGEW because he dared to send a ship into space to discover more vibranium?
Yea I don't have an issue with the OCCASIONAL street crime in Wakanda, but showing literal rape camps after the kingdom had like a year before been restored is just character assassination. And Shuri telling the women they should accept it for the Golden City is simply stupid. The only way she'd be remotely justified in saying that is if Wakanda was possibly on the verge of destruction and she was on some "the ends justify the means" screed. I could buy that from her character pre-MCU lol. But the glory of the Golden City isn't hurt by saving rape victims in a time of peace, Coates was trying too hard to make Shuri look like a woman that makes the hard decisions in a situation that didn't fit.
The sword for returned to WK. Tchalla wasn't there for that either. Lol
Pre-2018 T'Challa would've been shown receiving the sword personally. But then again, pre-2018 T'Challa wouldn't be making an appearance in this event. Which is probably for the best, but it does show how the movie opened up a world of opportunity for writers to use elements of the BP mythos without actually featuring T'Challa. They always could've done that, but the movie showed the sheer breadth of the Black Panther franchise and gave them a reason to do so. From a Dora featuring in Spider-Man Noir to Captain Marvel traveling to a vibranium mining planet, I'm still getting used to seeing Black Panther elements incorporated into the greater MU without seeing T'Challa. In Marauders it was used to disrespect the character but in Spider-Man Noir or Hotshots it added to the story. Hopefully we get more stuff like the latter if writers want to use aspects of the BP mythos.
So there’s nothing recent I can buy with Panther in it? OK *sigh*
Dude has treated Cap WAY different thant BP. Hell Coates treated T'Challa way better in Caps book than he did in his solo.
There is no excuse for it. How do you take Shuri who, when she was Queen, held nuns captive to ensure they weren't a threat to her telling Rape victim's they should of sucked it up and died?
How do you take T'Challa, who went to America and raised all types of hell over a little girl who was killed, straight up left Wakanda and dropped everything, to an aloof "too distracted" king who can't seem know wtf is going on I. His own backyard?
Yet Coates could take the MA, who sided with known terrorists, who were killing the people they claimed to be protecting, and only left them when *shocker* Rape became a thing again and then they were threatened with destruction if they decided to aid a known terrorist, and hid with their tails between their legs, then came out and demanded land they forcibly took from another tribe, and makes them the heroes??
Coates era is just one agenda ridden, half baked idea after another with no coherency or idea how it gets to the point and just hamfists whatever to push the story (slowly) along, no matter how contradictory or little sense it makes.
