#Black Panther #erik killmonger
#this never fails to make me laugh #it’s such a good delivery #I think one of the things that make erik really good as an antagonist is he genuinely had those cool and kinda funny moments #where you sort of shared in how satisfied he must feel #like the casual ‘hey auntie’ #even if you’re worried about the characters he’s threatening #you get that ‘wow i bet that was satisfying’ feel #at least i did #i couldn’t help but feel that connection #and when you’re sharing in an antagonist’s satisfaction #while still liking the characters they are up against  #you know they’re well written

I think this is a great example of how well Erik manages to control the context of whatever scene he’s in. The first time he turns up in the palace, T’Challa tries to shut down his challenge to the throne by referring to him as an American chaos operative, but Erik turns it around on him by announcing his Wakandan name and heritage in xhosa, recontextualizing himself as a rightful Wakandan challenger.

Here T’Challa is taking him at his word, addressing him as a fellow Wakandan royal whom he can legitimately challenge for the throne, and Erik turns it around on him again  by responding and identifying as an American chaos operative, who feels no obligation to respect Wakandan traditions.

Erik’s faceted identity and the way he uses it is my favorite thing about him

Same. God, and that’s–he’s such a child of two worlds, and he knows it, and that’s the great sorrow of being torn between two worlds: you’re not fully of either. But to be able to take that not-belonging, that not-expected thing that so often brings people pain, and weaponize it to set people off their game, so they can’t swing at you because you’re never who they expect you to be?

Aw, it’s genius. It’s fucking genius, and it speaks to the politician and the agitator that Erik could have been if only he hadn’t been poisoned by vengeance. Erik lives, Erik redeemed–my god, that’s a story.

This is how you play a wizard.

Professionals have standards. Be polite. Be efficient. Have a plan to kill everyone you meet.

this is how you deal with players like that

I’ve been fortunate enough never to have to deal with a That Guy, but this is a pretty good way to do it. The downside is having to interact with them long enough to see it to fruition.

Tiger gets a bad baby tooth removed

When a tiger’s first response to having a tooth yanked is not a roar, snarl or swipe with claws, but a test nibble to check that its mouth works as well as it suddenly feels, it speaks volumes about how much the bad tooth* must have hurt.

*You can see, briefly, that it’s black and nasty on the inner side. Yuck.

poor baby

I’m just awed by the amount of trust in this gif. That tiger totally trusts that the human is going to help with that scary metal object on an already painful area and the human totally trusts that the tiger is just test nibbling and not chomping down on his arm. I flinch when a house cat comes at me too fast and these two don’t even hesitate to trust each other.
