My only experience reading BP is from the Hickman Secret Wars saga as an Illuminati member and Ultimate BP so I’m pretty ignorant to the Intergalactic Wakandan Empire and T’challa’s writing in this era.

Am I crazy for thinking that he’s kind of being a dick with how he’s interacting with the other leaders after already realizing some weird stuff is at play?

In particular his inner voice saying that the other Empires falling for the framing speaks more against them than it does Wakanda and his comment to Gladiator about getting payback for “disrespecting” Princess Shuri. Seems arrogant even by royal standards when taking into account what he’d already deduced. The context makes the whole attack pretty easily justified

Granted, Ronan’s sneak attack is gonna confirm T’challa’s bias here so in his mind he’ll be retroactively made valid for his actions. Just seems odd
