The comparison between how T’Challa and Killmonger deal with their father’s failures is so fucking good

This is the very heart of the movie. It’s why T’Challa is a hero and Killmonger is a villain.

And it’s also why we should forgive Killmonger. People say he isn’t a pure villain because of his goals but that isn’t it. He isn’t a pure, unsympathetic villain because we feel for his upbringing. He never had a chance

At the same time T’Challa is even more heroic for overcoming the failures of his father. His father was his hero, he was a paragon to T’Challa

T’Challa learned his father was flawed and made mistakes. But instead of breaking him, he still used the lessons his father taught him
