Yes. That scene was dope and set the movie off right. I was confused at first.
I think he was redeemable and efficiently shown. I always want more killmonger so I feel you on that.
But his arrival wasn't a gradual thing it was a whirlwind.
He arrived at the gates, Flipped the border tribe, got an audience with the king, challenged him, beat him, Shuri and them went into exile, came back to overthrow him. I mean there's really no place for them to talk or interact with the long lost family he never knew. He didn't come there to talk.
He killed Zuri because Zuri is the one who snitched on his father and eventually led him to his death.
What was he right about?
Let's flip it.
We don't know anything about Wakanda.
The story starts with little Erik playing basketball and then something doesn't feel right he goes upstairs and finds his loving father who promised him the world basically dead. He has panther marks on him which he knows because he read up on his father's home land. After that he is dealt a tough life, poor, struggling, but highly intelligent. Goes to M.I.T. joins the military to see the world and finds out he has a knack for killing. A real one. The pain he felt the day his father died never went away and he's reminded of it every time he's in battle and especially at night when he's alone. He learns more and more about his family and their history to the point he is an expert. He links up with someone who is a peace offering of sorts that would allow him to finally return to the home land he never knew. He gets there and the son of the man who killed his father is sitting on the throne.
Does he have a legit reason to hate them? lol
'Black Panther' Top-Grossing Film in History at 33 AMC Theater Locations
https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/h...ssing-film-history-at-33-amc-theaters-1085844
Disney and Marvel Studios' Black Panther has already become the highest-grossing title in history at 33 AMC Theaters across the country, according to the mega exhibitor.
Put another way, Black Panther earned more at those cinemas on Thursday evening and Friday — along with advance ticket sales for other times during the weekend — than any other movie has in an entire weekend.
AMC didn't provide a list of the 33 theaters, nor a precise dollar amount for those cinemas, but noted that there were a record 83 showings on Friday at the AMC Southlake 24 in Atlanta.
Owned by Chian's Dalian Wanda Group, AMC is the largest movie chain in the world, including in North America, where it operates 661 locations.
Black Panther is shattering records in its box-office debut. On Friday, it took in $75.8 million for a projected domestic debut of $205-$210 million over the four-day President's Day weekend. Friday's haul included more than $25 million in Thursday night previews.
The film will easily nab the top February opening of all time and could score the biggest debut ever for a superhero pic if it passes up fellow Marvel title The Avengers ($207.4 million), not accounting for inflation.
Black Panther is Laying the SMACKDOWN on other Marvel Movies like Bernie Mac....

I think thats the point. Most African Americans don't disagree with Killmonger. He was the embodiment of black rage. All of us have felt what he felt. Now of course we are not killing people and taking over countries but the point was to bring those emotions to the surface.
I was talking to my friend who is Ethiopian and she was asking about African Americans and how we feel about white people and some of the shit we we experience in this country, and I found myself getting angry just talking about the shit. I told her some of the stories my father used to tell me, about not being able to eat in certain restaurants or drinking from colored only fountains. The murder of civilians by the cops. By the end of the convo I was unintentionally yelling at her.
If you are of African decent you have experienced that anger and I think that was a brilliant choice by the director to have a villain that strikes at the heart of most blacks around the world.
In the Ultimate series Namor aided Thanos to save his own skin and Atlantis. Not only was Wakanda destroyed but also the Inhumans home of Attilan which led to both T'Challa and Black Bolt killing Namor.
So let me keep it 100%. There is a Rhino in the living room...
I am Jamaican born in Jamaica. I don't speak for my country but this is my experience in America and being around Americans...
I have no American friends. I cannot relate to Killmonger. I dont know Black Americans that well.
I keep nothing but other Caribbean and Foreign friends not really by CHOICE it just HAPPENED that way for me.
It is because I relate more to foreigners here in America.
I remember coming to this country and being told to "Go back to Africa". I remember being teased for my accent and called African Booty Scratcher by Black Americans.
Now these same Black Americans want to be African or want to be West Indian.
I have African friends and those friends DO NOT consider Black Americans African.
Does any African on this board want to speak on this?

I cried.
When the movie was over and the end credits started, I cried.
I tried to keep it in too...and ended up hating white people for a second, LOL.
It's not that it was a good movie, or a good comic book movie, or a good Black movie - it was so damn truthful. Ya'll ain't said a lot I wasn't gonna say, so I ain't gonna say much. But damn...I just felt rage for how great we could have been...
I'm emotional.

Interesting. Most of the immigrants I've spoken to can relate to the colonialism aspect or the dealing with white Americans once they come here. Sorry to hear your experience with African Americans has been unpleasant. The Caribbean experience is unique, most of the islands blacks are the majority and some have literally kicked the white folks out. I'd love to hear how other immigrants on the board feel about this.
You just hadn't made it to the right group of people.
I used to get called the same thing because I have an African name and my parents had locks. And I was born in Atlanta.
Unfortunately it sounds like you got a raw social deal...we ain't all that way.
But perhaps that maybe is your chance to educate some people who might not have ever met a non-American born Black person otherwise.
And once we realize that all of that is because of WHITE SUPREMACY then we can begin to come together.
Black people who were born in America have been shaped by WHITE PEOPLE and the things they project.
They make us think anything African from looks to speech is BAD so we assimilate or be ridiculed or MURDERED.
you see it's not our fault this is hundreds of years in the making.
So now black people in this country are trying to break ties with that supremacy and connect with their true roots which are Africans. that's what's happening.
If you sick and you don't know you're sick until you figure out the cure, it can't be entirely your own fault.
You and your African friends should consider us african that is where we come from directly. From Africa.
t'challa did namor dirty for that.
FIXED
I kept expecting the CAC (agent guy) to start catching feelings for Shuri 
One of my best friends is from Cameroon. I treat him no different than any of my boys. He's family to my family. I got to spend time with his family a few years back who are very proud people and very critical of African Americans with few exceptions. Had a crazy convo with his father who really slammed us African Americans. He kept throwing how he came to this country with nothing, which is not true, and made it. I found myself yelling at the man. He apologized because he doesn't know the history of hell that we've gone through here, just what he sees. I gave him a thorough reading list to catch on and to understand historically why things are this way in this country. Told him as a business man go setup shop and a white neighbourhood and let's see how long you can last there. He smiled and said you know I wont. We talk every week now. This movie should bring ALOT of dialogue between people of the African diaspora.
You know, they marketed this movie pretty hard but what really lit the fuse was the overwhelming black enthusiasm for the film. When white folks saw how enthusiastic we were, they wanted to join in. Then the momentum started to feed on itself and boom.
Is it possible that a savvy marketing cat could glean a lesson from all of this?

As someone that practices Afrikan spirituality, Killmonger talm'bout da ocean and our ancestors struck me at my core. That shit was RAW.
So the nigga killakadafi not in BGOL no more but he still heavy in Tumblr and I follow him there...
I'm scrolling thru his feed and I see this:

That's the point. The literal hardships African Americans went through allow these 1st and 2nd and even 3rd generation African's to come here and flourish.
They haven't been broken by hundreds of years of conditioning in this promised land. It was the promise land to everyone but us for us it was a prison from when we landed here until 1965.
think about that shit.

Who da fuck on here goes to NotSoBreitBrainFart?
If nothing else he made them THINK about us.
Every time I speak to someone about Killmonger I remind them that he was actually trying to save US lol
we ain't wakanda natives.
Nah I was on Tumblr and Killa had posted it on his feed...
I went to Breitbart because I thought the shit was fake, but it's real.
My bad if you thought I was directing that personally towards you
. I was actually just speaking in general terms.

"Black Panther is not a movie about race, it is a movie about ideas and ideals, about our shared humanity. Our hero is not in favor of protecting ethno-nationalism, but rather a healthy form of nationalism.
If T’Challa is Trump, Killmonger is Black Lives Matter.
Did I just write that?
Yes. I. Did."
...
"for decades, a big complaint of mine has been Hollywood’s marginalization of black actors. I cannot tell you how many times, in some supporting role, I have seen a charismatic black actor or actress — one who would blow off the screen these metrosexual pretty boys and shapeless forever-girls we’re being force fed — and said to my wife, “Why in the hell is this person not in every movie ever made?”
thats trolling at its finest ... he's actually encouraging cucks to see the movie!:
"Multiculturalism is a cancer. Diversity is code for “hire more leftists!” I hate all that stuff. What I love are movies and movie stars — masculine men, womanly women — and Black Panther is buried in movie stars — real movie stars. The women are sexy, the men are men, the talent and charisma overwhelming."
its a great opinion piece / review... that is a talented writer much better than the regular Breitbart hack....
Thanks - that piece gave me a great laugh
1965? shiit you better add a few decades to that number
I go by symbolic law not the conditions of the country.
