Marvel will green light a sequel fast.
Hope its even more epic.
Dudes with no Black pride think Black power movies are 'State Property' and 'Killa Season'
What a stupid and snobbish and downright ignorant post.
Because a war would have left 99% dead. Most black people cant shoot a gun let alone handle vibranium weapons.
Forget the military, how long before iron man, vision, hulk, and scarlet witch start killing THOUSANDS in self defense?
Killmonger was a prototypical African dictator/mercenary
All these Killmonger stans :tchallascust1:
It's amazing how easily some Black people are swayed by strong man dictators who play on their emotions:bpufedup:

Speak for yourself cac
I saw it as Wakandans being motherland Africa with the comfortability of having traditional roots. Killmonger is African Americans who were betrayed by Africans who sold us off, which resulted in us not knowing where our roots begin and going hard to make our way in a place that never feels like home.
I thought the movie showed a great dynamic of this. A movie is not our freedom, just another story told that we can find some perspective in. It's a great movie, but don't give it more power than it's supposed to have.

If the film intended to demonise Killmonger it wouldnt have included the flashback sequences with Sterling K Brown (in there to elicit sympathy for Killmonger) or the blatant references to the US military turning Erik into a cold blooded killer.
The film is hyper-critical of the Black experience in America, not Black people in America. Even the racist Ben Shapiro picked up on that crucial distinction.
And it's not like the Wakandans came out of that movie looking perfect. T'Chaka came off looking like a real piece of shyt for abandoning his nephew. His own son rebukes him for it.
Quit filtering nuanced storytelling through knee-jerk biases.

And this was the kind of bullshyt we knew was going to come.
I don't see Killmonger as the average AA experience
Halfican
Top tier degree from MIT
Highly noted in the US Gov't
Strong understanding of African roots
The similarity are the broken nature of African home for him.
The other is the anger of being in a system of white supremacy. Especially ground zero like America
And his low level pro Black roots. He was like Khalid Muhammad but not close to Khalid knowledge of African roots

All Black Panther threads whether positive or negative in TLR need to be locked or merged.
Black folks did take pride in that movie
Admit that they played it safe with black panther in this movie
