killmonger is, if anything, worse than bane because the lesson behind his defeat is to never seek restitution or revenge for the crimes of the past. do not trouble the status quo, work within the system, revolution is too much. t'challa's victory is basically telling you reparations are bad

Raskolnikov38 posted:not to necessarily start a batman derail but the whole point of the dark knight trilogy was that gotham was actually redeemable right? but outside of the boat scene and the handful of vigilantes pretending to be wayne in the second one do gotham's citizens actually do anything When Gotham found out that their government was holding people in secret prisons without charge or trial, they completely lost their poo poo and backed a revolution. I'd say that's redeemable.

I just realized that Killmonger won power legitimately through Wakanda’s political system. T’challa and his cadre of generals then staged a coup—killing the rightful king. the lesson is to liquidate the ruling class before they can stage their counterrevolution.

Monarchism is bad, as is any political system where you can seize power by throwing someone off a waterfall Within that system, though, T'Challa is still the rightful king because teeeeechnically he didn't die, he points this out in the movie too That said though I thought Killmonger represented the military-industrial complex more than anything else, hence him ordering the magic flowers to be burned for no particular reason

killmonger: deliver superweapons to the oppressed and spark a worldwide revolution against the imperialist powers t'challa: give away our technology to the imperialists and, i dunno, teach some kids to code?

The problem with killmonger will always be that suddenly violent revolution in a blockbuster flick becomes deeply nuanced and something you really need to question and dig deep on the moment it's a black dude doing it, which makes the light imperialism critique built into his character ring a bit hollow.

Why is it that Wakanda had both men and women in its army, but segregated them there seemed to be a men's army (headed by Daniel Kaluuya) and a women's army (headed by some lady I forget), what's the deal with that I literally just saw this movie last week for the first time because it's on Netflix now and I never see movies in theaters anymore

Maybe at some point they should have hit back since they positioned even the most right wing of Dems to be the reincarnation of Stalin. But no they just have to "work together and teach across the aisle to get things done" whaaaat those things that need to get done are never said but I suspect it's more war, lower corporate taxes and benefit cuts

It's funny: They feel like they'd die if they took their mouth off the teat of the donor class to embrace things that could regain seats, but as they go the way of the whigs, surely the donor class won't have any quid pro quo reason not to wean them off harshly. Can't sell access and influence if you can't keep a majority or win an election.
