BLACK PANTHER: Killmonger Wanted to Burn It ALL Down
<p><strong>BLACK PANTHER: Killmonger Wanted to Burn It ALL Down</strong></p><p>This week on <strong>Black Deth 101</strong>, Nubius Black and Johnny Deth head to Wakanda for Ryan Coogler’s 2018 blockbuster, <em>Black Panther</em>.</p><p>We look at the film’s cultural impact, Chadwick Boseman’s T’Challa, Michael B. Jordan’s unforgettable Erik Killmonger, and the conflict at the heart of the movie: what responsibility does Wakanda have to the rest of the Black world?</p><p>Killmonger has real grievances. He sees injustice, abandonment, and a powerful nation that chose isolation while people who looked like him suffered around the globe. But having a point doesn’t make him the hero. His answer isn’t liberation — it’s conquest, revenge, and burning the whole system down.</p><p>We also take a trip back to <strong>America in 2016–2018</strong>, the political and cultural climate surrounding the film, what audiences were watching at the time, and why <em>Black Panther</em> became much more than another superhero movie.</p><p>Plus: Wakanda, Afrofuturism, the women of the Dora Milaje, the soundtrack, the performances, and why this movie became a genuine cultural event.</p><p><strong>Wakanda Forever.</strong> #RyanCoogler #BlackCinema #Afrofuturism #MoviePodcast</p><p>Let us know in the comments: <strong>Was Killmonger right about the problem, even if his solution was completely wrong?</strong></p><p>#BlackPanther #BlackDeth101 #WakandaForever #Killmonger #ChadwickBoseman #MichaelBJordan #Marvel #MCU</p><p></p>
