The final words ofMichael B. Jordan’s Erik Killmonger inBlack Pantherwas one of thebest movie moments of 2018.
But apparently that sceneand, more specifically, that iconic linewas completely different in the film’s original cut.
And it was great.
It was powerful, it was awesome, but it was problematic for a few reasons.
And that’s kind of what was happening.
Coogler definitely had a point.

But then he walks and the door shuts, and you know everything is different.
But it’s the same conversation!
