What I can't understand is how the moral of Black Panther got so horribly misinterpreted. The whole point of the movie was how past injustices create present violence, and the dangers of succumbing hatred. The villian is a literal standin for BLM for crying out loud! While the protagonist learns to combat systemic injustice by lifting his "brothers" up, not tearing his "enemies" down.
Yet the take away seems to have been "We Wuz Kangs!"
To be fair, he was more complex than the standard Marvel villain. His motives had more nuance than "person with same powers as hero, but evil" or "use big beam of energy in the sky to kill everyone."
I honestly think Killmonger is one of the better marvel villains in the MCU. Nowhere near Thanos, but far from forgettable.
