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.

Making yourself the superpowered warrior-king is not "ending" anything champ. That's the point. He could have destroyed the plants before taking any himself or distributed them along with the weapons, but that would mean having to share power.

It does end it, though. There won't be another one. That's an end.

It's a plant, they have another one left to take samples from (plus whatever is in T'Challa's system) and a whole big laboratory full of Space Handwavium. They'll make more.

Well that wasn't the point, if Killmonger had succeeded in his plans and won the war then there would've been an end to the Black Panther tradition Which is fine, I guess, if you're opposed to monarchy on principle, but Killmonger openly didn't care about what happened next

no, he just didn't care about what happened to the office of black panther. The film actually gives us very little reason to care either. His own plans he was clearly pretty interested in.

Lol creating a Great Wakandan Empire that the sun will supposedly never set on and yet making no plans for who succeeds you when you inevitably die is pretty irresponsible, to say the least

he's in charge for about 20 minutes of the film and most of that is spent worrying about how awful it would be if black people were armed. We're vague on quite a few details in the film

The detail about burning the garden is a very important scene that Coogler spends a lot of time on and is clearly central to the message he was trying to get across with the film

It’s specifically not just to prevent the rise of a rival but to shatter institutions of national organization so that after he inevitably loses power or does, what’s left is a failed state, smashing itself to bits
