^Interesting. It's something I'd thought of after submitting my initial post lol. It's pretty freaking strong man, idk. I didn't connect it with the burning herbs thing, but it did dawn upon me how Killmonger never aligned with Wakandans enough because of the strong sense betrayal he felt, took upo...

To be honest, at first I hated him. Part of me is because I'm just #teammaincast lol but also because I knew he was supposed to be more than that in the film, yet had a very hard time sympathizing with him after he killed his lover with no consideration whatsoever. I also don't necessarily agree wi...

Same order but no gap between GDT and Iñárritu lol.

But like... as soon as he said “Its hard for a good man to be king” I knew he killed his brother...idk why people are making that a deeper/bigger twist than it is. There's absolutely nothing wrong with that way either. I never looked at it as an indication of a twist. I merely liked that at from di...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=anndNbRjOeE His reasons are exactly why Black Panther is one of my favourite Marvel films, along with Logan. It delves on so much. Its a Marvel film that actually makes an the effort to truly say something of value. It actually has meaningful dialogue, I hate when Mar...

The vegetarians joke was actually one of the best. That joke has a deeper meaning. He was making fun of western stereotype that Africans are savages and their general ignorance of Africans in Africa. I loved that he just kept giggling at his own joke, he knew that line was poetic. http://www.youtube...

This is an excellent analysis. I view Killmonger as the antagonist I thought the real villain of the film was colonialism. KIllmonger wasn’t being selfish, he didn’t want to enrich himself. He wanted to restore prosperity and the rights of the colonized. His actions were misguided but his goal was ...

I kinda can’t believe Marvel let this film get made. I still think it plays it pretty safe. Like a lot of the commentary remains in the subtext. Like, no one uses the N word. Doesn't mean the film doesn't get its messages across successfully. But outside the confines of Disney, it certainly could h...

I really didn't think that needed an explanation. Its interesting that the word colonizer is seen as racist but what I’m familiar with is Hollywood’s white saviour narrative. They are the ones to bring knowledge, technology and values to other inferior races of colour into the modern age. As an Arab...

The moment when Shuri casually called the token white man a colonizer, I was like https://media0.giphy.com/media/3o6oznE5MWL6qxwMCY/giphy.gif Shuri is my hero 😍 I kinda can’t believe Marvel let this film get made. It allows a subjugated group to express their seditious feeling which undercuts Hollyw...
