I’m listening to the Kendrick Lamar song “King’s Dead” and the second part of the song he takes the persona of Killmonger and the lyrics sound callous and indifferent. But then I checked Genius and it says Killmonger’s father was killed for trying to use the country’s resources to liberate exploited black people, and now Killmonger is killed for having the same aspirations.
I know marvel is CIA shit but what the fuck is this trash ass imperialist movie
Is it literally “The guy with the scary name was actually correct, but he killed a baby for no reason and now it’s okay to sell out our people to the western interests”
Black Panther is a movie where a man achieves political power through legal means, and because he uses it to oppose US imperialism he’s overthrown and the old monarch is put back in place and then immediately opens up the country to foreign capital
Starting a few years ago I started to ignore all superhero movies. Before I read your comment I knew hardly anything about Black Panther. Over time I've seen "CIA op" comments about it at Hexbear but - man, my imagination failed me. I had no idea it was that bad.
At the end of the movie, the protagonist decides "yeah this guy had a point we should be doing more to help" and his alternative solution is basically charter schools
I might have to watch it now. It's beyond belief for me.
Again this is not exaggerating at all, literally what happens. I'm 80% sure there's a lottery for it
The CIA stuff isn't an exaggeration btw. Martin Freeman literally plays a CIA agent who pilots a plane to shoot down other planes that were delivering arms to the oppressed peoples of the world
This gets crazier every time I hear a new tidbit.
It's decent slop but if you think about it for more than 2 seconds it becomes horrifying
