King of the Dead and The Champion of Bast

If nothing else comes out of this story, I think what we need most is an upgraded Killmonger.
His entire gimmick revolves around T'Challa never being able to beat him, but that's harder to pull off when he's the underdog on paper. Upgrading him so he's at least as powerful if not more powerful than T'Challa helps him a lot.
Honestly I think it would be difficult to come up with a likable version of Bast after she basically bailed on Wakanda in AvX and Time Runs Out. She knew all that stuff was coming, gave T'Challa a minor power up, and basically left Wakanda to fend for itself even when Thanos set up shop in her living room.
SHuri calling Bast on all of that was probably my favorite part of this months book.

Naw because the suit has been shown to have an upper limit.
Between her strength, speed, and energy blasts... she could have hit that upper limit.
I have literally no problem with T'challa losing against Carol. She is a powerhouse with no exploitable weakness, especially if T'challa didn't know it was her.
Just make it legit. If you can't make it legit, then don't use the damn character. It is simple.

I agree that Carol should have just overwhelmed T'Challa with her powers, since T'Challa was not prepared for her because he didn't know it was her.
I am not a fan of the suit being able to have upper limits that cause it to explode. That was ridiculous that Coates added that to the suit. I shouldn't be surprised due to Coates agenda ( I mean even death battle included it as a weakness of T'Challa suit). I would just prefer that the suit would some how release excess energy like a pressure relief valve and allow it to dissipate, instead of T'Challa running around wearing, for all intents and purposes, a BOMB. I mean is he the new Nitro lol. That's a HUGE design flaw.
But for the most part I agree with what you have said.

That's the point of the force push, to unleash the pent up energy stored within the suit so that it doesnt overload the suit so that it won't get destroyed. You'd think Coates would know that. At least Coogler seem to realize that which seems to be why the suit detonates after T'Challa take a certain amount of heavy hits.
Having an upper limit is a common trait for that ability, and power absorbtion in general. One of the means of beating Shaw and Strong Guy is to overload them.
You want limits. You don't want say the Hulk or Thor pounding away at T'Challa with no effect. Everything should have a limit.
All I know is that he was involved with the second image presented in my post.
I do, but now we deal with a pretender to her former splendor.
Being likable or not is not my issue. I simply do not like that she act like a child instead of an adult with lifetime of experience because now it would seem that inhabiting that little girl's body regressed her mental state.
If you read my original quote, I said you can have an upper limit without the suit exploding. Furthermore, every character does not have an upper limit in regards to abilities. The madder Hulk gets the stronger he gets, he doesn't explode. Carol Danvers doesn't explode the more energy she absorbs, nor Rogue.
The energy, IMO, should dissipate. The suit should have an internal relief valve. Can you imagine if someone like Luke Cage or Superman could explode if you hit them to much? Or it that happened to Iron Man/Tony Stark?
Big design flaw for one of the smartest men in Marvel.
It's good that Coogler's Black Panther received a nomination for Best Picture. It seems things like that are more important to Feige then billion dollar box offices.
I say this because Marvel is replacing the directors and writers for Captain Marvel 2. The 2 directors will still work with Marvel, just on other projects.
Just let BP 2 do just as well or better than the 1st, and T'Challa will ne a major player in the MCU...and possibly have better showing in the comics.
