In Black Panther (2018), there is a character with the last name "Killmonger". This is a subtle nod to the fact that he is the antagonist that the good guy must fight.

Kinda necessary, TBH. If you just go by what his goals were, he wouldn't be villainous enough.

Using CIA's own tactics against western interests to secure a better future for oppressed people? Believe it or not - straight to jail.

Little known fact. This is actually based on a comic book.

Too bad that in Wakanda Forever they didn't call Namor "fishmonger"

Be Killmonger

Come to a deep understanding of the inherent violence of the US Imperial police state and rebel against the oligarchy

Support regime change towards a Democratic government in a deeply nepotistic corrupt African kingdom

Endorse Free and Fair Trade with neighbors after years of isolationism

Oppose CIA intervention which favors a despotic monarch

Reject incarceration as a solution to socio-economic conflicts with final breath

Get called the badguy.
