It is African scarification end of lol. I understand people wanna put there own spin on it but killonger was an African prince who was influenced by African tradition.
Each scar stood for each confirmed kill when he was in the military. That is what he said in the movie.
Bilbow Baggins said he was racking up kills like it was a video game.
Hence the name Killmonger.

didnt know you helped write the movie
Aren’t you in college?
OF COURSE HE BURNED THE HERBS.
HE KNEW SOMEONE WOULD TRY TO DOUBLE CROSS HIM.
HE WON FAIR AND SQAURE
AND LUPITA WAS STILL TRYING TO GET THE MOUNTAIN nikka
TO OVERTHROW HIM.
THAT ALONE SHOULD HAVE DEADED
ANYONE QUESTIONING HIS MOVES.
Breh....
You got nikkas adding shyt to the movie that wasn't there, trying to discredit killmonger... But over looking that fact that wakanda liked a world with WS in it.
Time and time again the movie made this point..
Killmonger and the CIA agent said america MADE him this way...
But nikkas forget that, but focus on how he treated black women..
Nikkas don't want to place blame on white people for shyt..
Wakanda thrived and survived on bytchassness and c00n principles. They had the most advanced society and resources in the world, yet stayed hidden away in fear of inferior white societies. Plus it was a fantasy land where anything was possible. The fact that many blacks can’t even fantasize about rebelling in a fantasy world where they actually have the advantage is just sad.
You’re lying too. As other posters have already pointed out, the wakandans threw the traditions out of the window win their guy lost the challenge. Kilmonger followed the traditions. He became king fair and square and everything he did after that was under his discretion as king. You can’t even keep it real dude.
Now that I think about it. Erik's scares could also be a symbolizm of being whipped by a slave master for 400+ years just like AA's had scares in slavery.
You caught onto something.....
Lmao no they wouldn't scare symmetrically like that. It's reference into african scarification.
Oh...now make sense!.

Killmonger wasn't wrong but he was also an extremist who is willing to go hard on ANYONE. He has more of a desire to accomplish something out of spite than do something helpful out of compassion. He wants to overthrow the white oppressors, but at the same time doesn't really care about black lives if they create an inconvenience for his agenda. Shot his girlfriend to grab Klaw and choked out an old lady for not burning the herbs right away. Would have killed T'Challa's mother and sister if they didn't get away. I feel like a lot of "conscious" black leaders have this same problem, where they like the idea of overthrowing white society but they also treat black people as accessories.
Ultimately, that's what makes Killmonger the villain for me. He had the right idea, but was doing it the wrong and far too ruthless to be justifiable leader.

Oh wow, I had no idea. I didn't pay any attention during the movie.I guess you don't know what symbolism means and double meanings.
Of course.... We find symbolism in things when there is none there.... matter of fact, we inject symbolism in place of logic too much.. the countless YouTube videos and blogs in response to this movie comparing characters in this movie to past activists proves such
Killmonger was just a focused brother with an agenda.
