He redeemed himself

I love how people are like “imma say it, Killmonger was right’ like that wasn’t the goddamn point. I mean, T’Challa literally listened to him and is doing exactly what he said Wakanda should do. Both at the end of the movie (buying up buildings in Oakland) and the post credit scene (offering their resources at the UN). Killmonger was right when he said Wakanda has the resources to help black people and T’Challa was wrong in thinking that they’re not ‘their’ people. It took [spoiler] one of their family members being on the outside his whole life and dealing with the way black people are really treated to realize that they can’t just do nothing. That they are all their people. He’s going against all the kings before him because of Killmonger. Because Killmonger was right.

a valid villain

All these people in the notes like “let’s not forget he wanted to kill innocent people!” No one’s forgetting that. His ideology went too far. He was removed from power because of it. He faced consequences because of it. But T'challa learned from him and he was without any doubt a factor in his decision to share their resources, starting with inner city Oakland.

As a villain, Killmonger is the product of apathy toward poor Black kids. That doesn’t make it ok that he wants to orchestrate widespread killing, but it should make viewers think. There was a reason T'challa had sympathy for him.
