In Black Panther, Erik Killmonger is dangerous, focused, and sure of what he wants. He grew up feeling abandoned and watching his people struggle while others thrived. That anger pushed him to train and fight until he became strong enough to take back what he thought was stolen from him. He sees himself as a soldier fighting for justice and that belief makes him unstoppable. People connect with him because his pain is real and his anger feels justified even when his actions cross the line. He is hard to hate because he fights for something bigger than himself.
