It's still one of the most negative depictions of the CIA I've seen in a big popcorn movie Ross himself may be more or less presented as a decent guy but he goes ahead and tells us Killmonger is also a CIA agent and everything he does in Wakanda is exactly what he's trained tohttps://twitter.com/AlexandraErin/status/1302603237690945537 …

Hell, Ross's heroic moments largely come from him *shutting up and listening to other people or putting them first*. besides, wasn't Ross a comics creation first?
-
Yes, Ross was in the comics and explicitly designed to be the white audience's surrogate the same as in the movie

He's only BARELY actually in the CIA, as far as I can tell. Like, it's his official affiliation, yeah, but he's not doing CIA stuff or working with CIA superiors or anything else. He's just vaguely an 'agent'

Like, it's hard to come away with any positive sense of the CIA from Black Panther because it's hard to remember that Ross is in the CIA. And even if you do, what about the CIA does he represent?

At which point, why make him CIA at all? He has barely any resemblance to the comics character to begin with. I mean, originally, he was consciously modeled on Michael J Fox from The American President. Naive, well-intentioned, in over his head. That's... not what we get

Obviously, it wasn't Black Panther that made these calls, but Cap 3. BP was working with what it had.

In my head, Shuri just stuffed him in an actual simulator so he'd be sure to stay out of the real fight.
