I remember that you had really turned against Coates when he had Storm say that Nakia can be with T’Challa while she pops in every now and then so I was just confused why you’re ok with it when it’s the other way around but I think your explanation makes a bit more sense lol. Don’t necessarily see it the same way though I definitely agree romance shouldn’t be the driving force for any character unless they were designed that way.
Neither T’Challa or Storm should be defined by their love lives which is why I was slightly bummed when Ridley said his book would be a love story (in part). Now I still don’t think Storm will be that love, it’s just we’ve had years of both characters getting built primarily around their romantic lives so it would’ve been nice to get a BP book where he’s just a bachelor and they build his friendships. Likewise with Storm she was becoming so defined as a BP character from like 2017-2019 because the X-Office was giving her scraps so hopefully she doesn’t become too attached to the franchise again. I’d be disappointed if Planet-Size ended up leading to Storm dealing with more Wakandan stuff lol.
