Killmonger?

#TeamKillmonger

The Marvel Cinematic Universe continues to produce hit after hit in Phase Three, but only a few villains have truly stood out. The charming Loki was widely known as the greatest MCU villain—having appeared in three "Thor" movies, "The Avengers" and the upcoming "Infinity War." Erik Killmonger has only appeared in "Black Panther," but moviegoers are calling him the most relatable and best villain in the MCU. His charm and appeal draw comparisons to Magneto. Who's the most beloved villain? 😈
Just so yall all know Loki beat Kylo Rin.

So you could only imagine that beating out Killmonger would be easy. 

Loki is charming, mischievous and a tortured soul. We feel for Loki as the adoptive son of Odin, living in the shadow of his older blonde brother. But make no mistake—Loki is power-hungry. And he'll stop at almost nothing to achieve his plots, although they are always flawed. He never really wins, even though he continues to try in the most mischievous of ways. Guess that's why we love to hate him so much!

Cinema Blend's Katy Rich once called Loki the only good villain in the MCU:

Loki is the shrimpiest and in some ways least prepared of all the Marvel villains. His plot to take over the world in The Avengers, as everyone repeatedly tells him, is never going to succeed, and at heart he's motivated by the childish desire to get as much attention as his blond, heroic brother. But it's his puniness that gives him both his appeal and his staying power. He's power-mad, sure, but only in the way we all think we deserve a little bit better in life. And he can't really be taken out of the story, both because Thor would never allow it and because, as a god, he's pretty damn hard to kill off. Loki's proven appeal and immense powers means he could honestly be part of every single other Marvel movie going forward. But it's resisting that urge that's going to be the challenge for Marvel for many years to come.

Loki may have beat Kylo in our last poll, but he hasn't faced off with Killmonger yet. Killmonger is the best kind of villain—one who some can argue is actually a hero. We've already written about the divide on whether or not Killmonger is a hero or villain, and the poll is pretty tight. 

The Root's Jason Johnson writes that Killmonger's yearning to free black people is righteous, but his methods of getting it done were evil:

Killmonger’s desire to free black people from oppression was noble, but his methods were ridiculous and his motives were questionable. Wakandans didn’t resist Killmonger because of his ideas. They didn’t agree with his methods, which were—again—ridiculous.

I'm Team Loki. Shoot I was team Loki in infinty war..... AND HE WAS NOT EVEN APART OF THE FUKIN MOVIE!!!!

What team are you all on.
