He only even calls it the "Wakandan Empire" out of convenience, it's obviously really going to be a clean-slate situation where he builds a new civilization from scratch, the Empire of N'Jadaku -- really, to give it its most honest name, the Killmonger Empire

You're invoking real world parallels while arguing that CIA intervention in an election process doesn't count because technically he only shot down some planes.

It's not "CIA intervention", he makes no effort to contact his superiors at any point, he's straight up taking orders from T'Challa and Shuri

The Killmonger coup is a coup to overthrow the existing Wakandan government and erase its constitutional order and install a ruler who is a US citizen and military officer, who explicitly intends to rule based on Western principles

holy shit lol. He's arming oppressed black people and upending the current status quo. Do you think the US is a beneficiary of the current status quo? If not, show your working.

I'm using your same logic that the fact that someone is a CIA employee means they "are the CIA" for all intents and purposes, which is ridiculous
