    I'm pretty sure that ship has already sailed. I've said before that Hudlin making Wakanda unconquerable was just asking for trouble... some writers just LOVE to break a streak.

    (The same thing happened with Black Bolt after he was described as "undefeated in battle" in the Jenkins run. Next thing you know, he's being beaten right & left...)

    Yeah Wakanda hasn't been "unbeaten" in years. I think even before Hudlin Wakanda has been undefeated, at least that was Priest said on his blog that they never been conquered. Hudlin's mistake was making it known on panel. Like DigiCom said, after Hudlin writers just decided they were going to be the ones to undo that streak.

    SWAD and WitBP? Will likely remain the only stories where we see Wakanda fight off an invasion. I dont count the first attack from the BO since that went mostly unseen.

    People love to break the streak nut do you know how cool abd epic it would be to see why Wakanda was unconquered for 10k+ years, in its full glory?

    To get any of that it'd require a writer that's genuinely interested in writing and uplifting T'Challa and Wakanda and not another writer who wants to "deconstruct". We have had years worth of stories deconstructing and watching T'Challa and Wakanda get beat repeatedly.

    Contrary to what Coates and writers like him seem to think, neither T'Challa nor Wakanda have been portrayed as being perfect. Not McGregor's, Gillis', Priest's, Hudlin's, or Coogler's, have been. So that narrative needs to die at this point and "deconstructing" is played out.

    T'Challa is supposed to be the most dangerous man alive, it's about time we get stories to remind readers and the rest of the MU of that and that Wakanda went undefeated for 10k years for a reason.

    The problem is that most of their loses were actually outside of the BP book. AvX, Time Runs Out, Secret Empire, etc...

    In order to put pandora back in the box, you'd probably need to have the rest of the MU keep their hands off of Wakanda.

    A BASELINE Wakandan warrior should be capable of fighting a member of the Hand to a draw, at worst. that's just a regular soldier. Dora should be head and shoulders above them and the panthers head and shoulders (at least) above the dora.

    start there.

    I've hated the devolution of Wakanda since DOOM WAR and would fix that [redacted] on day one.

    Does anyone else find it so tiring that in T'Challas book, he is NOT showing up in any of the previews yet we see Storm and people praising her as if it's her book.

    Also yeah the whole Wakanda is Doomed isht is dumb

    You would think this would be such a simple yet obvious thought process to go through yet here we are, seeing previews of Wakandans saying they will be doomed if N'Jadakas full army shows up and hoping Storm their "goddess" can give them hope... In T'Challas book... With T'Challa no where to be seen

    There does seem to be a worrying trend, even outside of the main book, of rejecting Wakandan exceptionalism. I mean, look at the latest solicits... Wakanda is invaded (twice, apparently) and both times they need help from the Avengers and/or Agents (only one of whom is actually Wakandan) to save the nation. It's almost like, with the exception of T'Challa, Shuri, and occasionally Okoye, Wakandans aren't capable of anything at all without help. Coates is simply more blatant about it.
