Michael B. Jordan's Erik Killmonger was one of the best villains the MCU has seen to date. As much as I love the MCU, its perhaps safe to say that its villains aren't particularly memorable. There are obvious exceptions like Thanos (and I have a big soft spot for Michael Keaton's Vulture), but Killmonger had a powerful political dimension that made Black Panther feel like a smarter superhero movie than most. His revolutionary plans to distribute Wakandan technology to people of color around the world were so enticing that many viewers sympathised with his plans.
