I'm not arguing here; more so I wanted to clarify what I had written before because I wasn't sure it was clear. I will say though I don't feel as good about Killmonger's book or as bad about Shuri's as you do though. The feminist undertones in the Shuri book are not for me, and I'm iffy on the artwork.
I am leaning more toward Killmonger's book, in part for some of the things you pointed out. There's more room to play around with Killmonger, to mix the MCU and comics versions together. I still wish that both Shuri and Killmonger were miniseries that built on the movie portrayals. I do think there is less dissonance though if a new reader got into Killmonger's book compared to Shuri's. I could see new readers, who loved Shuri in the film, being a bit lost if they read that first issue. Though that's something that isn't unique to Shuri, it happens pretty much with other characters that make it to the movies or television as well.
It seems at best the comics might do a visual reboot or add a few characters from the show or movie (like how the Green Arrow comic introduced both Felicity and Diggle, and attempted to graft them onto that ongoing story, which wasn't great IMO. And I don't think either stuck around long. I haven't read all of those books though and not sure when they both were dropped. I think Diggle lasted longer than Felicity).
Since Shuri made such a splash with audiences I wish Marvel had dedicated a comic that captured her voice and could be a gateway for fans of the movie interpretation, to fully capitalize on the popularity of the character. I also thought that Killmonger's MCU backstory had a lot of space to fill in and would've liked to have seen that as well. It could very well be though that the antagonistic "Knight" in the first Killmonger issue turns out to be a stand-in for his doomed girlfriend. Making Killmonger part of the royal family simplifies things more than the comics version IMO.
I wish Blade comics had just rebooted or re-imagined back in the day using the movies as the inspiration, more than just for visuals. Just re-imagine the old Blade stories and characters through the lens of the then popular films and maybe Marvel would've had another hit book on their hands.
I completely agree with the ideas about blending and/or reinterpreting Blade, Felicity, Diggle, Shuri, Killmonger, etc. except for Zuri [ who should survive, and blend CJP's version with the MCU version ]. The notion that MCU Shuri is the prequel to current RH+Hickman Shuri is the essence of common sense, imo. Making Killmonger YET ANOTHER Royal Family member is both a cool move and a bit of a tiresome gimmick. It's incredibly cool because MCU Killmonger as interpreted by Michael B. Jordan? Is dat dude. Period. It'll be very hard for anyone else to be Killmonger.
It's a bit tiresome because it requires willful editing of the Royal Family members, and reduction/changing/altering/weakening the story. Hunter's story becomes very difficult to reconcile, forcing a fundamental change in the character AND the seminal CJP run. Which imo shouldn't happen at all. Especially when there's ways to write all of these pieces together and weave them into incredibly compelling wholes. Plus explain everything from McGregor's run to right now without erasing Continuity.
This also ignores Royals and those closely linked to the Royals who have incredible potential as allies, enemies and frenemies...like Uncle Syan, cousin T'Chan, D'Cigswayo aka D'Ciggs Shuri's twin brother [ whose history they completely erased; in the early aversions of T'Challa's history recorded on Wikipedia I saw D'Ciggs' name madd years ago, just a mention of "D'Cigswayo", a name taken of course from the warrior leader of similar name...Dingiswayo, the second King whom Shaka Zulu served under. This continues the Shaka Zulu theme, as quite obviously the names "T'Chaka" and "T'Challa" of course come from the name of Shaka himself. When I saw his name, Jakarra's history, and that Ramonda was pregnant at the time that RH had Klaue attack and kill T'Chaka...I made D'Ciggs the twin of Shuri. I also pondered making D'Ciggs the twin of Mateena and T'Chaka's son Jakarra, but that brings D'Ciggs too close to Killmonger's background story imo ] and leader of the KMH, Jakarra from whose story I see elements of MCU Killmonger, The Black Musketeers to whom I added both Battlestar and Triathlon [ due to their previous association with BP ] to and recast as Kifalme Mashujaa ya Heshima which means "The Royal Heroes/Warriors of Honor", Priest's iteration of The Crew whom I had to rename as "The Shadow Squad" in English and in Swahili as Kikosi Cha Kuvuli [ "Shadow Squad" ] due to TNC's complete change of The Crew's roster, etc.
