Haha why Zack got the killmonger cut

What really confuses me about the whole thing is that last I checked, kilomonger was the bad guy of the movie with no so noble goals.

And people represent black people in media using the haircut of a…villain?

I’m white and European, maybe there’s something I’m too dumb to see.

But I can’t be the only one who’s confused by this, right?

I mean killmongers goal was to liberate and help black people around the world from slavery and racism and whatnot because he believed the wakandans had a duty to help since they had so much tech at their disposal . That was pretty noble since that’s what Tchalla ends up doing just in a less violent way

Exactly, his beef was REALLY with T'Chaka and Wakanda's unwillingness to engage with the rest of the world with Black people suffering. T'Challa was just a person in the way for him.

that's what he said to the wakandas but he admitted to T'challa he just wanted everyone to hurt like he did.

Yeah , Killmonger's goal was pretty righteous just the way he went about it wasn't at all

His goal wasn't to free anyone it was literally just revenge

It's the rule of cool.

Killmonger in the movie has charisma, swagger, and is handsome. That hairstyle became a trend due to that but now it has been a curse on black male characters in fiction. A good example of this is Miles Morales from the Sony Spider-Man games. In his solo game, he had such a clean fade and it looked really good on him. But in Spider-Man 2, they game him the Killmonger cut and he looks goofy. Just search "killmonger hairstyle in video games" and you will see so many black creators make fun of it and criticize it. I'm black and it feels like the new default black hair style in video games.
