Ya'll caught the TRUMP diss in the FIRST after credits scene right?
"Wakanda will no longer watch from the shadows. We cannot. We must not. We will work to be an example of how we as brothers and sisters on this Earth should treat each other. Now, more than ever, the illusions of division threaten our very existence. We all know the truth: more connects us than separates us. But in times of crisis the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way to look after one another as if we were one single tribe."
I understand what y'all saying but if a man kills innocent people, no matter what the motivation is. He is a villain.
He cannot be right. If he does it repeatedly, then he is evil.
Magneto is a villain. Let's be real about that.
Killmonger has a point but he is a villain.
Loki is a villain. (Remember he had a point too. He was lied to all his life).
Nah, when the general told Killmonger right before they went at it, "your heart is full of hate and you're unfit to be a king ..."
I peeped the CAC's next to me and they were shook.
I was feeling proud af.
What about the museum scene?Only 2 pinks had speaking roles in the movie....literally.
1 was an evil south African. The other was the CIA cat posted here.
This movie was approaching "Boomerang" level blackness...for real.
mayne hes an AIGHT writer... i dont know if i would hire him or not if i needed one.
Did u see the movie?
He got some heroic screen time considering he took a bullet for Malia (Lupita Nyong'o) and shot down the planes loaded with vibranium attempting to leave Wakanda to make arms deals. Not an "insignificant role" regarding the plot.
Watched it last night and loved the movie. I agree with others about not feeling the subtext of Killmonger being the villain in the movie.
mayne you okay.Come on now don't even begin to try and play my pen man. Don't go there.
I want a Prequel and Alternate version shot from Killmongers P.O.V. or at least a graphic Illustration with voiceover by the main characters. I want to see the Wardogs hidden in plain sight all over the world. There is so much more potential to make the movie franchise as successful as Captain America or Iron Man. I want a reboot like Spiderman every 10 years.I'm not familiar with this guy. Is he a black male Tomi Lauren?
Do the same tensions exist between West Indians (and Afro-Latinos) and continental Africans as exists between us (Black Americans) and Africans?
Hate to say it but I agree with you here. Especially Tone. I used to watch his vids because he was approaching things from a more academic perspective and using empirical data. But he starting name-dropping the same articles and same academics in every vid, and has almost turned into another Boyce. Just another pop culture commentator.
This is how I felt. Even though the character was underwritten and to a degree, I expected more from his performance. An orphan from a royal African bloodline who'd grown up in the American ghetto but graduated early MIT and went on to become a trained assassin, all while carrying a huge chip on his shoulder?! A more talented actor would have eaten that role alive. Imagine a young Wesley Snipes or Isaiah Washington in that role? Hell, even Larenz Tate.
Point taken, and I think that would have worked if the Killmonger character had only grown up in the hood knowing he was Wakandan royalty. But, with an MIT education, being a trained assassin, and also being conscious of the global black struggle, I expected a better performance. More depth.

did your theater erupt when Shuri re-enacted the “What are those?!” meme?
And people staying WELL AFTER the final credits!

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
Come on now don't even begin to try and play my pen man. Don't go there.
T.Challa was like "How do I argue with that??" We left him and created him.
oh...I'm confused as to who you were saying she betrayed. I didn't really see her betraying the throne either way. She was loyal to the throne regardless of who sat on it, as she said. When she thought T'Challa was dead, she served Killmonger. When she saw T'Challa alive and realized the challenge wasn't over, she was with him because he was still the rightful king until the challenge ended. The scene where T'Challa appeared alive, she didn't switch up til she saw him.
mayne you okay.
if i needed a writer for one of my titles i might think about hiring you one day.
Btw, even at 10am there were some fine sistas in the theatre
@largebillsonlyplease
At the showing you went to...
How did the mask go?
Were there white folks up in there?
A lot of costumes?
Did the sisters show out?
Was the theater sold out?
How many times you planning on going?

He took a bullet for her...and then had to be saved by them. He couldn't comprehend the tech they had. He was SILENCED when he was with the mountain tribe and made the court jester and SHURI had to basically hold his hand WHILE FIGHTING in order for him to shoot those planes down
she even said "I made it americanized so you can fly it" translation you not ready for our sophisticated way of doing thing so here is the flying for dummies so you can do your 1 job.
