You do know my faults are the bad qualities, right? Are they really? Hm. Well then youāre all set.
They work well in a moment of peril. For they see that which is enfolded. Not gone, just enfolded.
Black Panther (2018) dir. Ryan Coogler
okay, so everyone has set up the main rivalry in Black Panther as Killmonger vs TāChalla. And obviously thatās the main narrative structure of the story, not arguing with that. But I feel like from a purely character arc standpoint, the actual battle is Killmonger vs Nakia, and she obliterates him.
Erik Stevens is a CIA covert operative; basically, heās a spy. So is Nakia. And when you look at their various actions through the lens of āwho accomplished their mission better?ā, it becomes pretty clear that Erik spent 20-some years preparing to destabilize TāChallaās reign, including having inside knowledge and a birthright on his sideā¦and Nakia spent roughly 36 hours successfully destabilizing his reign, in turn, with nothing but her incredible ability to network disparate resources.
Letās just review her actions over those 36 hours okay:
- Gets the surviving members of the royal family successfully out of danger within seconds of the coup (aka the only living people with a competing blood claim to the throne aka the greatest threat to his regime)
- Sows enough doubt in the āgreatest warrior in the countryā about Killmongerās ability to lead that when the time comes, Okoye and the entire Dora Milaje all defect (eventually saving hundreds of lives)
- Steals a heart-shaped herb from under his nose as heās identifying it as the most important power resource in the country and trying to prevent it falling into anyone elseās hands, lol too late buddy
- Immediately identifies the person in the country with the best platform to mount a counter-insurgency (MāBaku), identifies what it will take to get him on their side, and casually resolves a centuries-long division in their country while sheās at it
- Correctly predicts Killmongerās opening move of distributing vibranium to the war dogs, and assists in a comprehensive strategy that shuts it down coldāa strategy they wouldnāt have been able to use if she hadnāt gotten Shuri, Ross, and TāChalla all in one place with the right information at the right time
As soon as TāChalla is back she takes an immediate backseat again (she said it herself, sheās a spy, not the leader of an army), but, seriously, if you have to pinpoint the one person who took down Killmonger, itās undeniably her. And she did it by clearly demonstrating that her skills as a war dog are miles ahead of his as a CIA agent (due in part, Iām sure, to being trained in a superior country, but also sheās Just That Good).
Yes! Erikās real misfortune was coming up against a much better and smarter intelligence operative. She also gives the lie to the stereotypical spy narrative (embodied by Erik) that you have to be heartless and violent to achieve your ends. She is the moral center and touchstone of film, so filled with goodness it comes off her like a glow, but she kicks the ruthless Erikās ass from Wakanda to Kinshasa.
Another thing Nakia was good at was identifying where the necessary resources werenāt, namely in herself. That was why she argued Ramonda out of the idea of taking it herself. It wasnāt self-effacement or modesty, it was a clear-eyed calculation of what it would take to win and the best chance was with M'Baku, not her.
And she did much of this while she thought the man she still loved was dead. She admits as much to Okoye, too. Think of how much sheer fortitude that took, to work through a grief like that to save your country. She is a hero and her heroism is no less amazing for not being flashy or center stage.
Everybody was a star in this movie. I swear.

Black Panther made it very clear that white Hollywood just doesnāt know how to write a female warrior in love.
Okoye loved a man too, but her story wasnāt ABOUT him.
He didnāt have to teach her a damn thing
She didnāt give anything up for him.
She didnāt go evil for a quick second and go on a rampage, losing herself, because she lost him.
She didnāt entertain, for even a miliisecond, compromising herself for him
She wasnāt crying over him
Their relationship wasnāt shoehorned in for no reason other than āthere has to be a romanceā
Most of her scenes had nothing to do with him
Except for the last point, all of that applies to Nakia too⦠but in addition
When he interrupted her work, she was angry and allowed to say something along the lines of āyou ruined my mission!ā unapologetically
She continued to do her job
She continued to thrive separate from him
Love for a single man didnāt outweigh her love for humanity and it wasnāt something she had to agonize over. It was a simple decision that wasnāt considered a real conflict for her.
In general, love didnāt make these heroes and warriors weak. It didnāt make these women vulnerable in a way that didnāt fit their personalities or compromise their duties.
In fact, we only saw love do that twice - when TāChalla saw Nakia and when TāChalla watched Zuri die.
Black Panther (2018) dir. Ryan Coogler
You are a good man, with a good heart.
And itās hard for a good man to be a king.
āI think the first [female character] Iām going to talk about is actually Shuri, played by Letitia. That character, to have a little sister, itās not very often that you see a superhero with a little sister. So I think that is probably not going to occur to people that that, itās not unheard of but itās an unusual thing, so I think it brings out a different part of his character. [ā¦]
All these characters are strong. Even if itās not a physical prowess, there is a mental prowess. Itās intelligence and savvy and so all of them present that, but the one that stands out the most actually is Shuri because of the ability, the way a little sister can poke at you and youāre protective of her but she still thinks sheās your mother, like all those different things.ā Ā ā Chadwick BosemanĀ
