    This was literally the plot of that awful Capt America tv show. Pseudo anarchists want to go back to no borders like during the blip (ok seems reasonable) but then they kill civilians for no apparent reason other than "to send a message" ???

    And then when the capes are done and the day is saved, new Cap literally just tells govt leaders to do better. Fucking LMAO

      There’s probably some interesting work on all the cliches that writers give villains to make it so we don’t have to think too hard about their motivations. Killmonger was right, y’all

        The What If? episodes featuring Killmonger just had him being right, right, and more right, all the time. Absolutely correct about the state of the world. And then

        spoiler

        he gets trapped in a pocket dimension with belly tv guy who's name i can't remember, because using power to help people is bad if bad people have to die, or something.

        edit: non-spoiler fact, eric killmonger kills no real people in the entire run of the show
