Well, no, the part where he shot his girlfriend in the head also makes him a villain

Yeah, I mean... they're both doing "My ideology justifies my personal ambitions," when it comes to it. Killmonger primarily cares about other Black people (and Wakanda ignoring them) insofar as they're projections of the same happening to HIM.

It is very hard to justify stuff like burning the heart-shaped herb garden as somehow necessary for the liberation of all Black people

oh no, he stopped the warrior king having super powers. How ghastly. For the warrior king and literally no one else.

I mean, he didn't do that though. He made HIMSELF warrior-king and then burned the source of that power, which is GREAT for the warrior-king and literally no one else.

It's super weird how, when people try to argue that killmonger is a ghastly villain, they come up with stuff like 'he ends the line of superpowered warrior kings' like that was some good thing he ruined.

I'm not a fan of monarchy, I'm less of a fan of monarchies being replaced by absolutist dictatorships that openly say "Apres moi le deluge"

If Killmonger ended the monarchy to create a more democratic/republican system, he'd have made things better Instead, he made things worse The fact that two things are bad doesn't mean one can't be worse

Since we don't actually see what his form of government really looks like, we can't really say whether it's actually worse than a hereditary monarchy selected by violence sort of co-ruling with 5 other nobles who always go along with the ruler.

Come on, we get more than enough from his actions and from his own dialogue to know the kind of person he is

When asked for a rationale for burning the plants his response is to begin strangling the person who asked and then throw her to the ground and declare his word is law

His word is law. So was T'Challa's. They were dictators, T'Challa still is at the film. T'Challa's just more polite and already friendly with the ruling class.
