Is This Your King?
“Black Panther” was a really good superhero movie, and Killmonger was a stand-out villain. Michael B. Jordan portrayed the bad guy, and in this scene he’s just fought and defeated the king of Wakanda. And naturally he’s tossing off a taunt: “Is this your king?” adding insult to injury. But as a meme, his mocking image and tone work wonderfully. Here he makes fun of a person’s pathetic paycheck, a nearly universal feeling. Le sigh.
