You seem to have completely missed the fact that Killmonger wants Wakanda to flex its muscle because black people are oppressed across the planet and Wakanda hasn't done a thing about it. It's his entire motivation. You can't remove this aspect because it's the foundation of the movie. This also leads to why Wakanda begins its outreach in the African-American ghetto in LA. I'm really not sure how this stuff went over your head. FLUFFYGERM posted...

Wakanda began outreach in that ghetto because that was where Killmonger was from. Note that before that scene Black Panther was at the UN meeting and saying he was going to share technology / vibranium with everyone. Killmonger's father was perfectly fine employing violence in his pursuits (hence the weapons). Killmonger wanted to destabilize nations through in-fighting, not really help other black people. His father dying is why he became a villain and wanted to kill Black Panther. He even says he purposely joined the military and trained and killed as many people as possible in preparation to kill Black Panther. You would've had the same exact film if you removed the one liners about white people. For example if you removed the "colonizer" joke and the "another broken white boy for me to fix" joke and whatever you would've had the same exact movie with the same exact drama/conflicts. In fact there was far more drama in the film because of the conflict between Africans and African Americans (like when Killmonger asked Black Panther where the Wakandans were when his people were being shipped off to be slaves) than because of the conflict between colonizers and Africans hundreds of years ago. --- Do good. ...

Killmonger is bitter because he's an oppressed minority orphan raised in the United States. There's a reason they chose the early 90's. The fucking movie begins with racial riots shown on TV. His uncle wasn't meant to be a bad man or a warmonger. He was living in a shitty time period for minorities and wanted to do something about it. It lead to him being used by Klaue, murdered by his brother and it lead to his son becoming an extremist. That's why he is filled with regret in Killmonger's vision. He's not just bitter at the Black Panther for murdering his father. He's bitter at Wakanda for letting black people live oppressed and doing nothing about it for generations. He's bitter that they could be in the same position as white people if they helped his people. That's his motivation. That's what he trains to do. He wants to make Wakanda into the colonizer country and take over the world. He even learns how to do this as an American agent. They can't just remove that angle from the movie. Getting revenge against how black people have been treated for hundreds of years is the core motivation for Killmonger. It's not just about his father. --- Kind Regards, Darmik ...

@FLUFFYGERM
I don't disagree with you about the white boy jokes. I'm just saying the villain has much more going on than "I'm bad" Most other MCU villains don't. Even if they have similar stories, the personification of those villains doesn't end up being as nuanced. (See: GotG 1 and Civil War) --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

FLUFFYGERM 02/18/18 9:13:42 PM #63: |
The way the minorities in America were treated likely contributed to that, but he was bad because of his beliefs on how Wakanda should use its power. And I disagree with your claims about Killmonger's motivation. He was an evil murderer, dude. Didn't you see how many people he killed to get all those tattoos? Didn't you hear how he literally openly said he wants to escalate tensions by distributing weapons? He wasn't interested in helping anyone - he was interested in introducing violence and warfare all around the world using Wakanda's weapons. Black Panther is the one who ultimately actually started helping everyone. Killmonger only wanted to kill everyone and become a dictator. And you completely ignored what I said about the one liners about white people. --- Do good. ... Copied to Clipboard!

I never said Killmonger wasn't an evil dude. He is the villain after all. I'm just saying that ignoring all of the racial oppression and history that leads to his motivation is missing an entire chunk of his character development. It's not just about his father. That was a single catalyst that just got worse as he grew older. Hell his entire opening scene is talking to the lady in the London museum about how they took things from his people and he's taking them back. All of this stuff is also why T'Chaka attempts to be better. Getting offended over an American CIA agent being called a colonist by an isolationist country is silly. Hell the guy even says he is involved in destabilizing countries. He's not just some random dude. --- Kind Regards, Darmik ... Copied to Clipboard!

A major part of the movie is how white people treated Africans (with colonization) and African-Americans (with oppression) and how that history leads to the events in Black Panther. No, it was outsiders that happened to include white people. He was only granted an audience because he brought Wakanda's most wanted and he carried the mark of Wakanda. So how exactly in your mind is it that Wakanda lets in everyone who is black given the evidence in the movie that it isn't the case. --- Switch FC: SW-3917-4425-6106 PSN: PiKappaPhi769 ...

Vulture was a better person. He did what he did out of desperation and not because he just wanted the world to burn.
He was an evil person but his motivations were exactly as Darmik says. Once he achieved his goal, he had nothing left except for his methods which were evil and destructive. --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

Killmonger and Vulture are the best villains in the MCU because you get to see straight up there character development and the reasons why they turned out the way they did. For the longest time MCU had very generic and boring villains (Ultron being the biggest waste of them all). The MCU villains are nowhere near the Dark Knight's Joker level, but hopefully we will see one that can match up to it.
