Meh, the marriage needed to be broken up because it was so forced in the first place.They courted no more than 10 issues before getting married wtf. It really only happened because a writer's agenda and if Panther was going to get married to anyone it should have been his love interest since the 70's not Storm who he only interacted with 2 or 3 times in regular continuity with before Hudlin decided to hook them up. Supporters of the marriage seem to support it for other reasons which I can't understand.

If they had to break it up for whatever reason, there were far better ways for them to do so. I shouldn't be surprise at what Marvel editorial did, but I (naively it appears) expected better from them.

Ehhh, the ending of the marriage in avx was a buncha bullshyt. That whole crossover was trash to me.

I personally wouldn't have married them so soon like Hudlin did, prob wouldn't have married them at all actually (because such things, no matter how well paced, rarely last in comics) but I sure as hell would have had Black Panther and Storm as a couple. They should've been a couple actually.

Priest already said that, in his view, Storm was essentially BP's 'true love that could never be' i.e. that he personally was "against" bringing them together for the same reason people were/are against Spider-Man being married or being paired up with Gwen (his ultimate love that would give him the ultimate happy ending).

I don't care much for that type of poetic nonsense tho (as if it has to be one extreme or another, married or nothing), and there would clearly still be stories to tell if T'Challa and Storm were together. So i agree and disagree with both Hudlin and Priest on their take/execution. I feel it easily could've/should've been a middle ground.

When they were together, shyt was mad cool and the biggest issue right now IMO is that Storm is with Fox... otherwise Disney would be lookin to cash in on black audiences, 2 birds 1 stone, by running that relationship back and likely putting it on the big screen. But fukk it

PRIEST On BLACK PANTHER, Pt. 2: 'It’s Not Arrogance, it’s Competence'
Priest:
"Oh, and wandering off-subject again: No offense to my good friend Reginald Hudlin, but the whole point of the T’Challa-Storm relationship, as I saw it, was they would never actually get together. It was an ages-long unconsummated love.

The worst thing a writer can do with a relationship like that is move toward the logical end because it ends everything that was interesting about the relationship. It buys you an event book and maybe a sales bump, but ends up causing more harm than good in terms of long-term characterization. When Jeannie married Major Nelson in I Dream of Jeannie, the series had nowhere to go.

Other than his mother, Ramonda, Storm is the only human being on the planet Panther cannot B.S. She sees right through him, knows him far too intimately."
