So, unpopular opinion, but having just watched I have to say I kinda hate both that and . Here's why - in Black Panther, I felt like Killmonger was actually - right? His plan to share Wakanda's technology with people of African descent around the world to help them conquer their oppressors - was morally justifiable and would have righted the scales of history. But instead we get cooperation with the colonizers and the subversion of revolution. And then, in Wakanda Forever, two unique civilizations exist separate from the colonized world - the citizens of one of which literally saw their parents enslaved by the Conquistadors - and the plot has them fight one another instead of team up to create a new world order based on anticolonialism

(albeit with an opening for a future movie in which they try again, after agreeing a pact to protect their unique access to a resource, which again undermines Killmonger's revolutionary aspirations)?
