Huge oversimplification and the movie does a good job of showing how extreme both were...his dad LITERALLY KILLED his brother and refused to save him...They can't do the mental work for the audience...they can't...they didn't even offer a solution bc "Solution's hard"...the resolution was "let's be less extreme" lol

That's not entirely their fault...they've got their own issues with white people to work out and while i don't appreciate that sentiment...it has little to no impact on day to day life any more than any other random micro-aggression. It's also a pretty big generalization I'd make with much more room for potentially being off-base

We don't know that he doesn't know that...in fact...he simply doesn't care...his plans aren't thought out...he's not a proxy for rational revolutionists...he's an extremist hellbent on vengeance...Wakanda is portrayed as passively extreme in their isolationism...Being the lesser of 2 evils is just that...

Disagree again...his goal was emotionally charged...his trauma was never resolved...he never grew past that kid outside the projects looking at UFOs while his dad bled to death...his plan was kill these guys and spread their wealth and hope for the best...he made himself a good soldier and a shitty general...

also have to remember this is an origin story...they're literally setting BP up to be that moderate with perspective (i also wouldn't be surprised to see Killmonger again to make up for the former's king's mistakes as well). it presents the mistakes as mistakes...not as indicative of the goals they claim to have...that's a good thing...this is literally chapter one and you want it done in a way that would be the last chapter...nah they still have to come together well enough to get stomped by Thanos...this is a comic book and should inspire thought...not be looked at to present non-flawed dogma

you're looking for the guy who has the right ideas but we can't agree on the earth being round...let alone who has the right ideas...it can't present what it doesn't know so it presents the shit it knows is off that has basis in reality
