Problem solved. Except it's not, because that kind of thing doesn't work on fans that have been following these characters all along.
Man, I remember that. And I remember thinking 'this is because they're both africans isn't it?' considering there was little if no interactions between the 2 characters. I recall black panther mostly interacting with the avengers, not the xmen.

Need I remind you of 'One more day'? Which suffers from as much bad writing as thundercats?

You're being too specific. It's not that we were told how the love triangle would end. We were told there would be a love triangle. This romantic tension took the form of all the Lion-o/cheetara scenes. God knows there weren't any Tygra/Cheetara scenes. And then their final explanation basically retconned all those scenes out of existence. It would have been different if they had just said she was confused but picked Tygra. They didn't. It was poorly done. They showed NO development of one pair, lots of development of the other (romantic or not), and then they chose to argue that the pair with NO development was the real pair and the one with all the development was a figment of our collective imagination.
The love triangle isn't over. I don't know how they'll continue it since in the latest episode, it seems like everything is wrapped up and people learnt to put things behind them but I'm pretty sure it isn't over yet. The characters will probably regress AGAIN next episode. Or if they decide to stop making Lion-O carry the idiot ball, either Tygra or Cheetara will decide their relationship needs more drama.
