The fact of the matter is that the relationship between Storm and Black Panther had HUGE potential. They didn't need to be the black Sue and Reed and be together in every panel. Storm could've still a valued member of X-Men and Queen of Wakanda as T'Challa could've been a strong Avenger and King. Marvel just took a huge steaming dump on that marriage after their adventures with the Fantastic Four. It wasn't fair nor warranted to break them up in the fashion that they did just so that Ororo could go back to serving as Logan's Cum bucket. The marriage may have been rushed but the way it was actually handled I was cool with. It was AFTER the marriage where I feel the respect for both characters went out the fukking window. T'Challa is credited as one of the 8 smartest individuals in the Marvel universe. Yet he blames his WIFE for an attack on Wakanda that he himself had previous knowledge of
Where's the common sense in that? Where's the dialogue between husband and wife? Any-Man beat the shyt out Wasp on panel for years and that couple got more character development out if their relationship than Storm and T'Challa got. It was fukking ridiculous, disrespectful, and racist. fukk MARVEL for that bullshyt
Pretty much. We can go back and forth about whether or not they were rushed all day. In the end, they were together and could've been game changers in the Marvel Universe. They were the realization of Charles Xavier's dream: better relations (and ultimately peace) between humans and mutants
shyt, Xavier told Storm the significance of her marriage to T'Challa:
We went from this to the fukkery in AvX.
Fact is, many of the fans (a lot of X-men fans and.....well...y'all know who
) simply didn't fukk with the relationship. Others gave the relationship a really short leash.
The worst part however was the writers. Outside of a selected few (Hudlin, Mcduffie, Priest, and others I may have missed), the writers, especially those from X-men didn't respect their union. They be having Storm randomly throwing shots at T'Challa and their marriage in the X Books. And of course, the AvX situation.
It's all bullshyt breh. Bullshyt!
