I’ve used Magneto as a comparison before.Hit the nail on the head.
I keep saying this, that Killmonger was portrayed to me an evil psychopath with little regard with his allies. If he was portrayed with having more empathy without disregard for his allies, then he wouldve been a much better villain. He’s basically became more of a millitant Joker without the charisma. A one-sided villain that the audience shouldn’t have any empathy with. But because of his end goals, the audience did feel empathy with him. That what pissed me off about his character, if he was white, he would’ve shown more empathy. I think his character should’ve been rounded out more, he wasn’t a soldier, he was more of a robot without any regard other then himself.
He’s always shown as misguided but ultimately trying to save his people in a world that despises them for simply existing.
