My What If? idea. What if Wakanda, 10,000 years old technologically advanced and secretive African country was repressive rather than enlightened? Ruled by Killmonger, the Golden Leopard king. But a more heroic,freedom fighting figure, T'Challa, with the blessing of Bast, dons the habit of the night stalking Black Panther to fight for Wakandans and bring their country into the future with justice and peace and all that crap......
Reality is for those who are afraid of science fiction.
I suspect Priest planned on addressing it in The Crew, but we all know how well THAT worked out.
(And considering that the next run ignored the Priest run COMPLETELY {for valid reasons} I can't really complain. )
"Wakanda actually sort of sucks as a country" is not a great move, IMO.
As long as T'Challa rocks, I don't care.
Reality is for those who are afraid of science fiction.
That and it was also helped by the fact that Avengers EMH had showcased Panther and then Hickmans run had showcased Panther in Marvels biggest event in years. After that Coats came along. Its hard to pinpoint which circumstance helped most. Ridley has nothing good helping him step into the run.

Roxane Gay on comic book characters
Good interview of the The Marvels director if you're interested.RG: I think a lot about superheroes and pain, especially with Batman, I’m a little obsessed, because I’m always like, “You're a billionaire.” Now, I know you can't replace parents, but, “Sir, let’s process and get some therapy here.”

What is it about some of these people that can't grasp the fiction part of superhero stuff?
"jUsT gEt ThErApY" in regards to mental health trauma is like telling a morbidly obese rich person to "just get a personal chef and diet and exercise" or maybe process her eating addictoin and get some therapy instead of getting a sleeve gastrectomy................

There's a lot of Coates run that Ridley can ignore. The thing that will likely have to be addressed is Shuri's status.
What does she do? What role does she fill? Now is the time for her to leave Wakanda and do other things, i.e. join a team. Now that we have the IGEW maybe shoe could join GotG and have her visit every once in a while.
But nothing else from Coates needs to make it into Ridley's run.
