The MCU divided up T'Challas personalities and have them to Shuris Okoye, and Nakia, and all of them were blank slates. Okoye made sense, she had always just been rode or die. But had Shuri been introduced by Hudlin to be a magic user, I don't think she would've taken T'Challas lane, maybe they might try the"magic is just science we don't fully understand" angle, but she would NOT have taken his super genius. Okoye was fine other than IW giving her a whole as fight sequence whole T'Challa gotna quick blink and you miss itz rushed CGI job of punching dwarf.
Nakia taking T'Challas agency was annoying and very unneeded (same with Shuri taking his genius instead of them having friendly techno banter, how hard would it have been for T'Challa to make an offhanded comment about how he used to spend hours in the lab and maybe a little jealous he doesn't have the time anymore to establish his genius?) Because it was a huge part of his character. She should've been the only one who supported it fully BECAUSE she had been out in the world, and it would've been a nice little Black excellence moment showing men and women working together, she shows support, and he takes her ideas to heart and tries to find the best way to implement them.
But now it's too late. And I don't care anymore, unless a reboot with the real T'Challa comes back the MCU is dead to me
As for Eve. Again, I'm lukewarm, the banter between T'Challa and Beisa is the highlight for sure. The art is great, but the plot and story is weak AF. Trying to hard to be Batman instead of Black Panther.
But if they end up having a romantic relationship, atleast she is an interesting Character, though I wouldn't make her a permanent LI that he would stay with. He needs someone who can keep up when big isht is going down
