I didn’t watch Black Panther but wasn’t that a similar thing where the “bad guy” is right but like he kills innocents to cement himself as the bad guy of the film?

In the world of Black Panther, Killmonger's plan to arm African descendants across the globe represents the beginning stages of the Pan-African ideal, where Blacks all over the world fight for liberation by any means necessary.

He's a villain, he murdered at least one unarmed person in cold blood and his plan was to use advanced technology to wage a bloody and violent uprising. It was to take control through power and death.

Also I think T'Challa (the protaganist) was a fed or had a deal with the US

He was literally the diamond warlord living in glass tower full of hi tech while his subjects waded around mud streets, he also supported tribalism and superstition which divided his people so he could rule them, and let's not forget the endangered species animal abuse and weaponisation. Somehow exactly like some of the US comics villains from 60's, but spinned at sympthetic.

I never watch MCU stuff for this reason, like if they ever plan to make an Algerian super hero they'll make him a Harki (our version of gusanos) or someshit.

Colossus from X-Men. While he is consistently written as one of the best and nicest superheroes in entire universe, he also have gusano moments and is indirectly a vector for all imaginable gusano propaganda against USSR. Or Black Widow who is straight up a gusano and needed an children atrocity story at her origin to make her even slightly sympathetic.

I just watched a great video breaking down Black Panther today from F.D. Signifier. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hQEWa5R3m4U

This entire video is good but the black panther part starts at 11:45

Thanks for the suggestion, just watched it. I’m def not an anarchist but any self-respecting leftist has to understand the strawman of an anarchist they made up for the “flagsmashers” is just ridiculous.
