Michael B. Jordan didn’t act like a hero at the Oscars just for Killmonger to be called overrated by turncoat Marvel fans

The disrespect!

Fresh off battling each other in the ring in Creed III, ing his on-screen auntie on social media, proving he might be a villain in the MCU, but he’s a real-life hero.

So Marvel fans turning against the oft-beloved Killmonger in the wake of Jordan’s gentlemanly conduct is coming across as an instance of extremely poor timing. In a Reddit thread (apparently so shocking that it’s since been removed by s), MCU diehards are questioning whether T’Challa’s war-hungry cousin — who first appeared in Black Panther, before making a supernatural return in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever — is really deserving of his lofty reputation.

In what may shock those who remain card-carrying Killmonger loyalists, several replies concurred that talk of Erik Stevens as one of the best MCU bad guys is overblown.

Others think the more heroic Black Panther ing players outrank Killmonger.

Was Jordan shortchanged in the dialogue department? Discuss.

For some, it’s not as simple as calling Killmonger “overrated,” but perhaps fans overestimate how much he truly believes in what he preaches.

Of course, not everyone is betraying Killmonger, with one comment offering a spirited and eloquent defense of why he remains a real highlight of the MCU’s rogues’ gallery.

The Marvel fandom overall isn’t about to throw Killmonger under the bus, then, but it’s still galling that a small subsection would move against Michael B. Jordan like this after all he’s done to avenge the Oscar the MCU really should’ve won.
