I need a Killmonger standalone movie greenlit ASAP. It would be great to see how a hurt young boy lost his way. Also, I just need to see more Michael Bae Jordan, because good God, he is so fantastic.

I was lowkey hoping Zendaya was going to play Riri, but it would be amazing if they found a dark skinned, afro’ed Riri.

But his idea of cleaning slate is to decimate anyone who he deems to be an oppressor and complicit in the ongoing oppression of black people (that includes Wakanda). It’s interesting that even when he went to the higher plane, he was not in Wakanda, but back in Oakland. I wonder if this would be different if T’Chaka…

I’m on board with this. Tony Stark is a terrible, selfish person (even though RDJ is very charming), and someone new needs the mantle of Iron Man (or woman?)

Nakia 100% had the right idea from the start, which is why she chooses to go away on missions outside of Wakanda. I also fully understand Erik’s anger and hatred; he seemed to be the personification of 5 centuries of oppression. That kind of generational trauma is bound to skew anyone’s moral compass. While his anger…

Golden Jaguar dies in the comics too, and there was some talk of the Mandarin being brought in (he resurrects Erik). Coogler is fairly intentional in his choices, so perhaps this “death” is that of Erik who is so full of anger and hatred, and his return will be a bit more noble. At least that’s my hope, because…

All great points. It was interesting to see how he and T’Challa were mirror images of each other, in the sense that everything T’Challa was, Erik/Killmonger wasn’t. He (Erik) was hyper “masculine”, definitely misogynistic, and did not like being challenged by women, especially not black women. Man, I cannot wait to…

100% agree. I didn’t know much of his backstory, and Coogler did a fantastic job of fleshing out Killmonger’s character. Shuri is everything, she was easily one of the best parts of the movie. She is so vivacious, like all of the other amazing female characters. It’s fantastic to see the marriage of both femininity…

Except Erik isn’t so much a villain as he is the anti-hero, the other side of the coin that is T’Challa. His anger and pain are righteous.

I have a feeling he will be back, because his suit was that of the Golden Jaguar. This is going to be one of the superhero deaths that people always seem to come back from.

No, I agree that HQ dropped the ball completely in not passing along this to the local Miami office, but regardless, I think it speaks to the overall pattern with which “law enforcement” ignores credible threats when they come in the form of white men, as opposed to black or brown.

Y’all making me cry at work again, thanks a lot. Drake’s fuckboi status is on temporary hold, until he does some stupid shit again.

Off topic, but young Steve Buscemi is really doing it for me.

I saw it last night, and It. Was. AMAZING! I’m going to go watch it again tomorrow and Sunday.

Right? It’s almost like they were trying to hide this from everybody...hmmmm

Ha ha ha ha, OMG, I love you

I mean, they knew the reality a whole 12 years ago, but why is it that the report was only made public over the last two years?

No, I agree. I am lucky that wasn’t my sister’s or my own fate. Others aren’t quite so lucky.

Cause he’s a loser, baby, so dah dah dah dah...
