Take away the shoulder pads and that stupid ass collar and it's a decent look. It's a neat idea doing way too much. But anyway, this is what I told you guys to expect.
That you'll have to pay for lol.
Btw, this is allegedly Wakanda.
Eh, Okoye would be fine but I think a Catwoman type like Malice or someone foreign like Monica has more to offer story-wise. But I definitely think there's room for there to be some sexual tension between them. They have the history and loyalty. Though having T'Challa date a Dora potentially resurrects the whole "wives-in-waiting" thing if a writer ignores what Coates did and tries to spin some drama.
Yeah, I think I like T'Challa and Okoye better as friends and not lovers. Still think Zanda is the perfect choice.
But...if not Zanda then someone entirely new, someone created specifically for this purpose. I also think that there should be other female characters created that are interested in BP. He should be a prize catch to a lot of women.
I like Zanda as his Talia, where she's just good enough to be able to sleep with, but too morally grey/toxic to actually be in a long-term relationship. Unless they go the direction that you did in the Age of Marvels universe, where she's basically a good guy who occasionally bumps heads with T'Challa. That would work great too.
T'Challa just needs some love man lol. 3 love interests, 1 main one, but kept in semi-frequent rotation like nearly every other headlining male hero in Big 2 comics. Shouldn't be that hard but for some reason Marvel doesn't do that.
Eh I think it wouldn't be that bad considering out of all the females in his life, she has been the most loyal, ride or die do whatever he needs and most reliable. I wouldn't mind it, even just the sexual tension, she is a badass, leads the Wakandan military, has history, and can hold her own, and doesn't have baggage, she is actually a really good choice. Not to say Zanda or Monica can't be used, but I think she can be a potential LI too. I mean why not? We want to get Nakai or maliaka in the grind but not Okoye?

Okoye's got a great resume, I think part of it is just that she wasn't conceived as a love interest, unlike Monica, Malaika, and even Zanda (who's been pining for T'Challa since the 00's). She's a great friend and ally, but like in the MCU they've never been shown in a romantic light, though it's definitely something I could get behind.
Yeah I'm just saying don't count her out. She had a really great resume. Day one ride or die, isn't allegedly dead ( Monica) isn't In comic limbo (maliaka) doesn't needs a lot rework to be taken seriously and inline with her other medium counterpart (Zanda) and doesn't come with a ton of baggage (Nakia) and she is well known and rising in popularity in both mediums (MCU and 616) on paper she is a great candidate, actually the best he has ironically, and she DOES love T'Challa as stated in Priest run.. I'm just saying...
