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.

I see no reason to trust him any less than any other character in the film. He's very up front with his intentions and goals right throughout the film.

Which are to do whatever the fuck he wants and capriciously kill anyone who pisses him off

I mean burning the garden is a MAJOR SCENE IN THE MOVIE, it's a HUGE PLOT POINT, and you're shrugging it off Like the high-minded speech he gave about Black liberation was all we really needed to know and everything else was annoying details we could've skipped

i'm not shrugging it off. I'm discussing it. I don't see it as an awful thing. The office of hereditary super powered monarch is not a good thing that should be preserved.

Okay but it's not just "a thing that happened", it's a scene with very clear characterization for Killmonger showing us what his motivations and logic were for doing it and what it reveals about the kind of person he is

He obviously has no plans to turn Wakanda into a democracy, he did it so there could be no conceivable threat to his own power

Which exactly mirrors the electoral process of wakanda.
