Your information is outdated.
M'baku was in villains for hire and in pleasant hill after Hudlin's run. He was ressurected off panel apparently. The editors didn't bother to tell Coates, which is why he invented Mandla so the MA had someone to kill in the Jabari Lands.
They then apparently killed M'baku again off panel.
And then he was resurected again in Long Live the King.
And, once again, in the BP mythos, the white gorilla god and their clan are OUTLAWED. It makes zero since, mytho wise, for a Wakandan... general? to dress up in homage of an outlawed god.

I’ve always been confused about movie M’Baku worshipping Hanuman. Bast being worshipped makes sense because she comes from a pantheon of gods that were worshipped by an African civilization irl. But Hanuman comes from a pantheon of gods worshipped in India. And since Wakanda kept to itself until T’Challa became king, how the heck did the Jabari end up worshipping Hanuman?
One can only hope.

Man...You just created another good idea for T'Challa's exit other than death. Just say the anchor of Wakanda has weighed on him for years. So he wanted to explore. He wanted to go on different journeys. Dont make it a mournful death. Make it a celebratory goodbye for a great friend, brother, son. He went to space. He may return, he may not. Sadness should only be from the loss of his presence in their lives. Not a lost life.
Bravo

The writers needed an Ape God for the Jabari to worship and they knew of/ had heard about Hanuman.
Maybe they had heard of African Baboon God Bibi too but came to the conclusion that Hanuman's name sounded cooler than Bibi's so they went with that.
There is no good in Universe explanation for it.
Most Black Panther/Wakanda writers went out of thier way NOT to have to create a fantasy pantheon for Wakanda that would have avoided these issues.
Bast for decades used to be just called The Panther God. Since most classic BP stories assumed everyone in Wakanda worshipped TPG except for M'Baku nobody bothered to create any more lore than that.
Bro the last boss fight with Klaw was so bullshit. It took me five tries before finally beating him because every time I get close to killing him he spams that four hit combo and kills me. On the last attempt I just decided to save my heroics until I had him dead to rights and then I just played keep away while letting Cap and Kamala land the final blows. Lol.

Well even when he wasn't BP he was still BP. I am not on that noise of T'Challa having to surrender something to another character. Frak. That. Isht. No more. T'Challa IS the Black Panther. Always has always will be. I'm so sick of him having to share space and have his mythos be treated like an ensemble when none of these characters even have a draw to them. Literally both of Shuris stories revolve around taking the mantle. The character should of already grown into her own and moved out of trying to be BP. Being a scientist works but if she is playing that angle she will only be a side character in T'Challas book. If they want her to Branch out she needs her own lane, which that and can be super genius (so long as it's not at the expense of T'Challa losing his) but it needs to be separate from the teyitto be BP. That's T'Challa. He is the GOAT.
Wakanda and"The mantle" are only being anchors because people are are making them so. This was never an issue when Priest, Hudlin, Liss, or McDuffie put in work. Redjack too.
I am a T'Challa fan, but I am a T'Challa THE BLACK PANTHER fan. It's his Wakanda and everything else exist to elevate him and show why he stands above the rest even those from his own nation
