Wakanda Forever's Midnight Angels Can Be More To The MCU Than The Comics

The Midnight Angels are a subset of the Dora Milaje (via Marvel). So if the Dora Milaje is an elite force of trained spear women, ready and willing to kill, then the Midnight Angels are that multiplied by a factor of Ironman armor and weaponry. In the comics, the Midnight Angels are so lethal that at one point, they are summoned to assassinate Victor Von Doom, a tyrant whose powers are so great that he's become a god on more than one occasion (via Marvel Database). It's important to note that, in every iteration of their story, the Midnight Angels are created from the need to operate outside of the boundaries defined by the Wakandan government ... and sometimes even against the Wakandan government.

In both the comics and the MCU, Aneka (Michaela Coel) and Ayo (Florence Kasumba) are key members of the Midnight Angels. Okoye (Danai Gurira) is only a Midnight Angel in the MCU. In "Black Panther: Wakanda Forever," Okoye creates the Midnight Angels in response to Shuri (Letitia Wright) demanding war against Namor (Tenoch Huerta) for drowning her mother, Ramonda (Angela Bassett), not to stop her, although that would have been in line with the comics' intent, but rather to assist her.

Is that kind of against the Midnight Angels' purpose? Yes, but Okoye has some overcompensation issues, thanks to a severe verbal lashing and subsequent punishment from Ramonda.
