Wizard Killmonger is so, so obviously a slam dunk concept for a contrasting sequel villain and, like a Vampirized Slayer in BtVS, it's incomprehensibly hackish that nobody involved ever attempted to pull the trigger on this

It's really obvious of making him Dumbledore's secret brother -- or cousin or whatever -- and therefore foil is them kind of gesturing at this concept but I don't have high hopes a JKR script will actually get at the moral core of the conflict here

It's so hard not to feel like the image of punching a wizard in the face is symbolic of this idea of ordinary people using the kinds of power we can understand, however ugly and nasty and uncouth, against the powers we can't -- finance and politics and tech and other spellcraft
