Coates has said his story isn't one you tell if you want to elevate a character. And that he isn't into the way Priest and Hudlin wrote T'Challa as this kinda badass.Wait, the said this shyt?
This dude is looking funny in the light.
Imagine the vitriol from the feminist community if a female writer decided to make Wonder Woman or Captain Marvel less strong and less competent. They wouldn't hear the end of it. BP isn't Superman. He's a fukking human, a mortal, if you're have to compromise iconic and traditional key traits in order present a "struggle" then maybe you're aren't as good writer as you thought.
Go figure
