T'challa: Maybe we can still heal you.
Erik Killmonger: What, so you can lock me up for the rest of my life?
T'challa: Lock you up?? That is not what we do here.

*T'challa flies Erik to the lab where he recovers from his injuries enough to begin an intensive restorative justice process*

@nev I'm so confused why this didn't happen???????????

@guerrillarain @nev I also can't help but wonder why they didn;t cultivate the heart shaped herbs on a larger scale, so they could give all wakandans that benefit. I mean, yeah, sure, I know empowering the entire populace with superstrength has it's risks, but come on. Reserving things like that for the elite is such an old meme. Oh well, maybe next movie. :/

@Angle @nev @guerrillarain In the comics, at least, the herb only works on blood relatives. So Shuri could take it, and Erik because they're cousins, but even the Dora Milaje, who would beer less risky to super power than the general population, wouldn't benefit from it. They could have changed that for the movies, but 🤷🏻‍♂️

@benhamill @guerrillarain @nev Hmm, gotcha. Alright, fair enough. :/

@Angle @nev @guerrillarain Not that that excuses the authors. That's a creative choice that still reinforces the idea of a strong individual solving or problems for us with violence, but… it's super heros and that's kind of baked in.

But it's one of the ways that Erik was right: Giving vibranium weapons to people is at least very egalitarian.
