Waiting for my thread merge so I'll just write here.
Killmonger's
-
values were apparent to me in his one-way conquest of Wakanda's throne. He states that his entire history prepared him just for this very act. And the very obvious: His nickname gives away
. He collected as many kills to then present as impressive scars to his contenders. He desires credit for his violent skill, has to make it visible even if making all these scars likely has been incredibly painful (
devalued).
Look at that.
Erik also has an interest in the roots of African artifacts as the scene with the museum masks displays. He's talking about what has been done during Africa's colonial exploitation influences today's racist state of things, and bases a lot of his arguments on this fact. He takes one mask with him just because he likes the way it looks, using it to scare and disguise himself in combat later as both a symbol (HAHA WE'RE BACK YOU COULDN'T ERADICATE US!) and sign to convey his aggression.
His entire character is deliberate in planning, battle-oriented, ruthless, and ideological, wanting to erase the past to create his own way: "Burn it all down!" - again devalued
, the heart-shaped herbs of Wakanda were taken care of in silent harmony. M'Baku also has strong
and challenged T'Challa as the Black Panther, so does Erik, even manages to defeat him. The way he throws T'Challa from the cliff is done to set a warning example and emblem of Killmonger's strength. Nobody else had the guts. The way he carries himself as the Black Panther is done to show his impact. I suggest Beta/Gamma for him. We both see
and
at the same time and highly expressed.
