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 …

Also the gratuitous hero moment they gave him was explicitly calling back to his career *before* the CIA, in the Air Force ("I looked you up, you were a great pilot") I don't think we're ever really given anything that makes the CIA itself look good

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

I assume if he was original to the movies they wouldn't have named Ross because I spent the whole movie wondering if he was related to Thaddeus Ross

Yeah same way the fact that the characters originated in different comics means they've blatantly broken the "One Steve Limit" and the "One Peter Limit"
