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”
For a lot these stories you can even say that the "villain that is technically correct" doesn't even have that heinous turn. The fact that he wants to change something is what makes him the villain.
Often you see the "superheroes" fighting back against this, and it becomes a metaphor for a thermidorian reaction. A violent refusal to accept fundamental changes that will improve things at the cost of a little upfront evil. Liberals always take issue with the "means" when what they really don't like is the "end", and that is why they will use the same means to stop change.
