I believe Storm works best as T'Challa's tragic ex-love. they tried it. they wanted it. it didn't work because it couldn't.
Like it or not, them being together is part of their story now, as is his love for her. what i wrote in KiB was about his love for her, not his feelings about his wife. She's not his wife.
what's also part of the story is she treats him and Wakanada like shit, repeatedly, and he annulled their marriage. they are NOT a couple anymore.
Both franchises should move on from their couple hood but hold on to the fact that they still have deep feelings for each other. there are lots of stories in that.
there is nothing but trouble trying to keep them together in the current version of the MU. Storm is MUTANT-First. Not T'Challa first or even Wakanda first.
he is a terrible king if he pretends she is even an ally.
She's proven herself not to be. And it doesn't matter which book showed that. the point is, the events occurred. they're part of the canon now. what i wrote in KiB was about his love for her, not his feelings about his wife. She's not his wife.
that's it.
unless Ridley writes that she is.
