Killmonger was right, but his approach was wrong.

The story was basically Koba vs. Caesar in Planet of the Apes. The sentiment and the idea that the only way for freedom and peace is through war and violence isn’t necessarily untrue, but when you don’t have a thought out plan you quickly devolve into the enemy you want to defeat. You become sick with power and lose your morality.

Killmonger was ready to basically sacrifice any and everybody, including his own people for his own goals. He only knew war and ruling with an iron fist because that’s how he had to survive. You can’t run successful societies that way.

I still rock with him though. He was right about how we were being controlled and oppressed. T’Challa was too diplomatic.
Koba was a c00n. Eric was OD it but he was spittin. Koba just wanted the world to feel his pain.

They were the same. Koba hated humans (read: white people) because he knew they couldn’t be trusted. He was scarred (literally and figuratively) because of how he was treated, but his heart was in the right place.

Killmonger was right but the nikka was a psycho. Killed his own shorty that was riding for him.
I always viewed that as a "I've come to far to fukk this off over her"

Some of the later shyt was psycho. However, considering how long he been planning that she became expendable in that moment.

nikka that’s psycho. This explanation makes nothing better. Treating someone ur supposed to love and who been riding for u as “expendable” is antisocial behavior.

the only reason killmonger was a "psycho" is because disney requires that
This. Especially since he was supposedly so highly skilled, with top flight credentials, his plan was clumsy. Where were the subterfuge and infiltration tactics that would be central to his training?
