I wonder if it was Hickman or editorial though. Marvel has cracked the whip on certain occasions. Here's the thing also. Hunter did most of T'Chaka's killing ect.
Which is crazy about the relationship about Hunter and T'Chaka. T'Chaka knew Hunter wanted to fit in reallllll bad. Not only is Hunter a foreigner, he's also white, so he can't even look the part unlike Ramonda for example. T'Chaka knew that Hunter would do anything to be accepted, so he bred him into a goon. It's kinda fukked up when you think about it, but it makes a lot of sense.
Hunter be doing all that shyt and T'Chaka could literally say "I don't know what you are talking about "
He had to pull the trigger but he never was ending lives by his own hand like that and not killing worlds.
I'm very confident T'Chaka would've pushed that button. Shuri def would and Hunter wouldn't blink. T'Challa was always low key different though.
Plus I think his having to break from Storm hurt him more than we're actually told. And he had to do all this in the name, of the crown. How heart breaking must it be to, tell the woman you love, I'm ending this shyt cause you're on the wrong side of this... but Sue and Reed still together though.
Yoooooooooooo, if AvX didn't happen the way it did concerning T'Challa and Ororo and they were still married, T'Challa's journey changes completely. No way would it happen the way it did, Ororo wouldn't tolerate it. Hence why they had to be broken up, in addition to the bullshyt and cism we all saw.
