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

you're sort of right, in the sense that we do have a clear idea of him and his belief system, while t'challa is an utter blank slate.

His belief system is that when he says to do something you do it or you die He says so in so many words in that scene

He has that in common with T'Challa, who stabs his cousin to death rather than reason with him.

T'Challa is explicitly characterized by being willing to allow other people to exist outside his authority, which is why he's against the whole concept of having a Wakandan Empire, and explicitly why he spares M'Baku at the beginning and leaves the Jabari to their own affairs

The difference between how he handled M'Baku defying him and how Killmonger handles anyone defying him is the whole moral point of the movie, the two duel scenes are meant to be read in parallel

he beat the shit out of him, made him submit, and sent him back to his own territory.

he can exist outside of his territory because he's submitted, he's contained as a threat within wakanda's laws and customs.
