Killmonger is an African or at least meant to be, Wakanda is an African country. so by your own rules, the cast of the film should have been just born and breed African actors. Very similar to how the film Captain Philips chose to hire only Soliman actors to play the pirates.

Michael B jordan said, part of the inspiration of the character came from Magneto, but the movie proved him wrong because unlike Magneto, Killmonger has no depth and was more portrayed in the film as angry black male villain who barely highlighted what his vision was in the film.
Huh? So let me just ignore this for now , because this is now the narrative that is going to try and justify comedy xmen from MCU and look at the facts of the series.
The mutant metaphor was meant to be a metaphor of any group who has been disfranchised in history that extended to LGBTs, Jews, Gyppies and Many people of color and the 70s, 80s and 90s stories started extending the roster to include actual POC colours and other ethnicities. Such as Storm who was black and became the leader, kitty who was jewish, Forge who was native American, Jubilee who was Asian, Gambit who was cajun and even Nightcrawler that appeared to look demonic but marvel gave him a Christian angle to add another dimension.
The idea that there is a difference between the fictional people born with genetic mutant genes and the real world parallel wont ... does not fly because the common theme is fear that these people are somehow dangerous ad must be stopped or controlled or exterminated in the marvel universe. This was how the holocaust came to be in world war 2 and this is why African American did not have rights. The idea it is a poor substitute is false. if it was, it would never have worked in the first place.
I did not see falcon and winter solider but I read this review's and followed the fan discussion, what I gathered was that falcon and winter solider felt more woke than actually more conscious. If it did better than any of the xmen movies, I am sure the true substance would have shown but the reception is not adding up. The conesisus if falcon and winter solider so far was...it could have been better. it was an average series even the final episode reception was mixed to negative at best. No film or tv show can handle themes that deeply and get that reception. I have know this because I have seen
The Wire.
X-Men is meant to be A-Political this is the reason no one can ever call it woke or preachy or one sided. Falcon and Winter Solider seem to have missed this. why?
I keep on hearing how falcon and winter solider have tackled this themes but no one has ever cared to discuss it in-depth and this is the difference when we talk about xmen. we can talk about the themes in depth.
Also since Falcon and Winter Solider was a tv series, maybe your best comparison would be an XMEN TAS not the movies. this is the reason I rather stick to X1 and Black Panther only because both are movies and have roughly the same time frame to dicuss this themes and it is not close between both.
