Like, on the one hand, the history of Wakanda and the fact that their system worked and the Black Panther ruled their land in peace and harmony for countless generations is a HUGE counterargument to Zemo's whole philosophy

Zemo thinks there could only be one decent Captain America because there was only one Steve Rogers? Well they've had like five hundred Black Panthers

Whereas on the other hand... the "Killmonger Incident", which rocked the Wakandan system to the core, is a very vivid, gruesome and effective argument in favor of Zemo's whole point Maybe the heart-shaped herb being part of this whole system was always a bad idea

(Not that they have a choice about that anymore ...Sigh, there's a lot of loose ends to pick up in Black Panther 2)

(Yes, I know that the super-soldier serum isn't technically the same thing as the heart-shaped herb But saying that Zemo's whole argument specifically applies only to the weaknesses of Erskine's formula is the kind of tedious argument that people make fun of comic books for)

(FYI Ryan Coogler doesn't care that much about this distinction and in the commentary for Black Panther freely refers to T'Challa's powers as making him a "super-soldier")

But then you could make this point in general about the MCU being "one continuity" being problematic and how movies don't talk about other movies as much as they logically should Isn't the Hulk a way, way, WAY more salient argument about the dangers of superhumans than Karli

Hell it should be the only thing anyone talks about AT ALL with this argument It's the big green elephant in the room "Yeah Bruce Banner injected himself because everyone thought he was this gentle softboi nerd Now the city of Lagos is a pile of rubble"

(The fact that the rejoinder to this argument is "Well just don't use the gamma rays, then, stupid! It was the gamma rays that were the problem!" is why comic books are dumb and people who care about them, like myself, are dumb)

Replying to @arthur_affect
In the comics, isn't the only reason that the Gamma rays had the effect on Banner that they did because his father did some weird experimentation on himself before Banner was conceived

Replying to @arthur_affect @Nymphomachy
Yeah, in the comics the Hulk is a result of Banner splitting his psyche into to parts as a coping mechanism to deal with his childhood abuse, it's why he's the only gamma-person to not be in full control. Until he isn't. Because comics.
