      I gotta say, the take on Black Panther that T'Challa is the "CIA-backed" Shah and Killmonger is the Ayatollah Khomeini, and therefore we've been rooting for the wrong side, is 1) absolutely fucking ridiculous 2) still makes you the asshole even if the comparison were 100% valid

      Or whatever comparison you want to make Iraq is actually a better comparison, with T'Challa as Faisal II and Killmonger as Abd al-Karim Qasim Still makes you the asshole None of these revolutionary strongmen turned out to be Good, Actually

      If you want to attack the CIA you're better off picking a conflict where they STARTED the conflict and they were the ones who made the first move to destroy an existing political order and plunge a region into chaos and civil war You know, like Killmonger did

          Which is the whole reason Coogler deliberately played up how what Killmonger was doing was "out of the CIA playbook" for starting a revolution

          (Qasim is a better example than the ayatollahs because like Killmonger has revolution was not overtly religious and did present itself as a "progressive" form of ethno-regional liberation - he was a Pan-Arabist the way Killmonger presented as a Pan-Africanist)

          (Guess what, after the war the whole thing about all Arab countries gathering together as equals with Iraq's benevolent support to throw off the West's shackles and enter a new era of prosperity together... didn't really pan out)
