Spoilers The Falcon and Winter Soldier discussion

I don't see an issue with all the wives, including the mother. I can say from personal experience that being married doesn't mean you're having sex.

The marriages are no doubt to ensure they are all acknowledged as members of the Royal Family with all the decision making authority, and the lineage to the throne.

Shuri will be her own stepmother if she marries her mother.

Hell, her brother is already her step father.
 
Ok, and if either Charisma Carpenter, Nicholas Brendon, Garbrielle Carteris or Jason Behr were playing Peter Parker and/or Kate Bishop in any upcoming MCU projects 20 years ago, these would all be relevant observations. Alas!
They are plenty relevant. You said that because Hailee Steinfeld was 24 Kate Bishop has to be an adult in Hawkeye, and I was just pointing out that there have been actors that have played teenagers when they were even older than she is.
I just googled it to confirm my memory that the Dora Milaje are married to the king.

So?

When the new king or queen gets the throne, does this king or queen, have to marry all of their fathers wives, including their own mother? And if it's a Queen, does she have a bunch of warrior husbands, or is everyone fluid in Wakanda?

Maybe early retirement?

Old school, I'd expect the Dora Milaje to commit ritual suicide upon the death of their husband.

Therefore...

T'Challa is fine so long as Okeyo is still on the job.
I thought they were just potential wives, not actual wives.
 
It's nothing romantic or sexual.

But I think it's so.

I'm gonna guess you're on a comic book based tangent that has nothing to do with the MCU.

I'm also thinking about the Centauri Emperor's wives.

Quadruplet Telepaths.

Literal sister wives.

We don't know that this isn't how it works in the MCU.

No, what I said was that Steinfeld was just barely credible as an 18 year old *four years ago*, so obviously even less so now. Other actors looking younger, or older than they are, or not and still playing the roles anyway because: "showbusiness" is besides the point.

And here's the thing: if the character is going to be around for a while, it's best to try and cast as close to the character's age as possible, otherwise you run into the same problem they're already butting up against with Holland straining credibility as he ages twice as fast as the character he playing.

Car crashes can be fun. Why every episode of CHIPS back in they day had at least one highway pileup a episode.

CHiPs? You mean that Sci-Fi show where American policemen never draw a gun? Sorry, I love suspension of disbelief as much as the next guy, but really, there is a limit!
 
Still not a car crash. But why the extreme dislike to describe it as such?

There's dislike (F. King Daniel's comment about Wandavision), and then there's going overboard. Take the subject of this thread: there are some very pissed off Marvel fans all over social media who cannot stand much of The Falcon / Captain America and the Winter Soldier. They have picked it apart, going on and on performing psychological acrobatics in favor of the Walker character, particularly where his most shocking act is concerned, and most telling of all, reserve most of their criticism for Sam and the Isaiah Bradley story. ....and that's not just a "it could have been written better" criticism, but "why dd this need to be in here?!?" rant.
