It's a reason why MBJ was handpicked for Killmonger way before the auditioning took place. He was perfect for role in my opinion. Lmao at people in here thinking he didn't look rough/rugged enough for the role. He played the role as enemy number #1 in the world as we know it today. That's why so many fans/people are gravitating towards his character. A young black african-american,who struggled as a kid. He was intellectual,educated,military trained. But he was militant with a brash of hoodness,while not conforming to society,s norm his appearance or action.
That's why its funny seeing people say he just acted hood like the majority of young Black males. Or the he doesnt look like a mit/military trained character. His character was purposely written/filmed that way. I dont think anybody else does a better job at Killmonger, unless if it was Pac in his prime in his 20,s. The point im making is that Killmonger isnt a follow the rules,let me appease my oppressors by keeping my hair short,and wearing suites and hardbottoms everyday while turning his cheek when injustice is going on.
He was the complete opposite,but just highly educated without conforming. Marvel/Coogler did that on purpose. So most people can turn up there face and say why is MBJ playing this character. It was perfectly executed. That's why the character is so controversial right now. Lol at eye brows arched,and manicures. Cats wanted Killmonger to look dusty with no swag. I dont see people say that about most older or current street gangstas,or educated people who keep up there appearance to look clean.
There's people out there with bodies who keep up there appearance. Lol at the reasons for not liking Killmonger. BP set the bar for future releases though. It was the perfect storm at the right time. People where tired of seeing the same type of movies lately. It targeted a certain demographic. Because because of the social issues in this country at the moment,the storyline is attracting new fans. Smart way to gain new fans. Future releases will determine if these new fans will attend new Marvel/Avenger movies in the future.
