Saw the Killmonger episode this morning and as others have noted, I found the ending a little abrupt, even as I'm not sure I wanted to see more, and a bit underwhelming.
I imagine that at some point T'Chaka will suffer an unfortunate accident and Killmonger will become king of Wakanda, given how events seemed to be progressing.
I'm a bit confused as to how Shuri(sp?) could have access to the footage of Killmonger dealing with T'Challa and Rhodes. I'm also not sure how Klaue didn't see the sudden-yet-seemingly-inevitable betrayal coming, though I guess it does parallel how things panned out in the Sacred Timeline; I was kind of hoping that their alliance was legitimate in this timeline even though I didn't really expect it.
Interesting parallels drawn between Killmonger and Stark in the episode, enough to make me wonder whether a better Tony could have swayed Killmonger from his agenda.
In the end I guess I just don't really know what Killmonger's agenda is in this or any other timeline beyond 'take over the world'. All of his potentially-noble talk is undercut by his hypocrisy, and I don't think we've seen a timeline where he was genuine with anyone...even a moment of self-doubt might make the character significantly more sympathetic. Yes, he was done wrong by T'Chaka, but...is he supposed to be the dark mirror of Stark, in the sense of being someone who never got over his childhood traumas (not that Stark always did either as evidenced in Civil War)?
TL;DR it's at least a bit less by-the-numbers than Captain Carter, but I can't say whether this one or CC is my least favorite installment thus far.
