Is it possible that Coates doesn't know the character well?

Ehhh, based on everything I've heard from Coates, it def appears he's done his research, via reading the previous runs. I guess he's giving his own twist to T'Challa, something--in fairness to him--every writer has done in some way, shape, or form.
The question now is, will people like it? Personal opinions on the premise aside, the story in of itself is actually good, but I'm currently on the fence with T'Challa's portrayal.
The story is shaping up but I have a feeling he's trying to compromise T'challa to tell a good story.

They're wives I'm waiting. They function as bodyguards but the same way Shao Khan was a bodyguard for Onaga.

They are both. They are bodyguards for T'Challa and, under Wakandan tradition, are technically potential wives.
T'Challa does not fukk with that tradition so they serve as bodyguards full-time.
EDIT: The movie will prolly drop the potential wives shyt. It isn't needed at all.

Hell the comics have more or less dropped the "wives in training" angle as well. It's not something T'Challa cares for in the slightest.

Indeed, he never rolled with it and the comics haven't touched on that in a loooooonnnnngg time.
EDIT; Corrected my previous post, which made it seem as is T'Challa is down for that tradition. He obviously isnt.

I'm 100% all for Lupita to be in the film.
But as the Love interest role?!?!?!
Breh....Marvel better stop playing and give her the Shuri role, NOW!!!!
its said she only gets voice over role or slaves, happy she got this now.
although they pretty much have to because every african american actress in hollywood is horrible at african accents.
May as well cast her as storm too.
