It wasn’t, but after he became ruler he pardoned himself.
rhysu692025-10-28 23:57
Aren't the Dora Milaje there to enforce the rules tho?
Marauder912025-10-29 00:06
so by your logic, the Dora Milaje should have been the ones to kill him for interrupting the fight
xreddawgx2025-10-29 02:02
And whom do the Dora Milaje serve?
13WillieBeaman2025-10-28 23:59
ah…

What did Trump do that was illegal
BitchesGetStitches2025-10-29 00:46
First, you're telling on yourself by assuming they're referring to Trump. Second, oh my hell get real.

BitchesGetStitches2025-10-29 00:49
We're not crying about Trump. We're enraged with him and everyone who supports him. You haven't hurt anyone's feelings. You've hurt a nation.
SpaceProspector_2025-10-29 00:46
Other than the 34 felonies he was found guilty of? Stole classified documents and refused to return them. Incited a mob to attack Congress.
The_Iceman22882025-10-29 00:48
You are clearly divorced from the very reality we all exist in, arguing with you would be like arguing with a sandwich and I have zero intention of doing so.
LyonsKing12_2025-10-29 00:59
Get off your knees, man. This is embarrassing.
sharksnrec2025-10-29 00:03
Nah, it was. The ref violated the rules of the fight and stepped between the fighters, and made himself fair game. Zero reason to think it wasn’t perfectly legal to kill him at that point.
bangarang902102025-10-29 00:19
I don’t think the healthy minded individuals there would have jumped to that conclusion
sharksnrec2025-10-29 00:28
No one objected.
bangarang902102025-10-29 00:50
I’m not sure if it’s a good idea to object to a scary guy holding a spear when he has a dead guy on the end of it.
mbanson2025-10-29 01:25
Yeah, best time would be after the first three objections because then the spear is full of dead guys and he can't stand you anymore.
thegimboid2025-10-29 01:08
If the ref steps in during a boxing match, it doesn't give the boxers the right to suddenly start punching the ref.
Though that would have made the Rocky films a bit different.
sharksnrec2025-10-29 02:02
And this wasn’t a boxing match…?
InevitableVariables2025-10-29 00:12
It was a duel to the death and he tried to stop it
bangarang902102025-10-29 00:20
I just feel like there was some other options besides murder.
InevitableVariables2025-10-29 00:22
He interfered with an honor duel that decides the king/queen. Something in their thousand year old history.
bangarang902102025-10-29 00:39
Oh was that what that was?
Detective-Crashmore-2025-10-29 01:22
Was that wrong? Should I not have done that? I tell ya, I gotta plead ignorance on this thing because if anyone had said anything to me at all when I first started here that that sort of thing was frowned upon. You know, cuz I've worked in a lot of offices, and I tell ya, people do that all the time.
xreddawgx2025-10-29 02:01
New management tends to get rid of old staffing and implement their own people.
Scion417902025-10-28 23:56
When the referee violates tradition and inserts himself in the fight, he becomes fair game
rhysu692025-10-28 23:58
Wait no actually that's a great point, thank you bro
wonkothesane132025-10-29 00:00
Why exactly do you think it's "allowed"? People like Killmonger do things that aren't allowed all the time
EddieLobster2025-10-29 00:02
Why did the bad guy break the rules? Even though it wasn’t really a rule.
robertluke2025-10-29 00:05
They don’t have a rule against it because no one had tried it yet.
CaptHayfever2025-10-29 00:06
It wasn't. Tyrants come to power by breaking the rules.
forky18992025-10-29 00:09
Classic pro wrestling move. Once the ref is down, you can do whatever you want
Baratheoncook2502025-10-29 00:33
Judgement Day tactics
Schedonnardus2025-10-29 00:48
Refs hate this one trick

rogue_researcher2025-10-29 01:20
It's a fight to the death, what can't you do already?
forky18992025-10-29 01:25
No low blows
BigAlReviews2025-10-29 01:37
No outside food in the spectator stands
FH-74972025-10-29 00:10
Because bro stopped being a referee and stepped in as a combatant
Apprehensive-Tap-9502025-10-29 00:14
I think he was an imposter he sounded puerto rican lol
Lopsided_You_31082025-10-29 00:14
You have no idea where the referee is!
MikeArrow2025-10-29 00:16
"I'm not *allowed* to kill the referee, I'm not *allowed*!"
SWPrequelFan815662025-10-29 00:22

Gram-GramAndShabadoo2025-10-29 00:46
Are these referees in trouble?
juances192025-10-29 00:19
Why a civilized and hyper advanced country still uses trial by combat as a valid method of choosing government.
Granted if we could choose that over debates I'm in.
DCangst2025-10-29 00:47
Bingo. I thought the same thing. The most technologically advanced civilization in the world, and they decide who is most qualified to rule based on who can win a physical fight. Yay! Leave the fate of the world up to a fist fight. That also pretty much meant Shuri was out of luck at something like 95 pounds (given they have to fight without super strength enhancements). Wakanda Forever side-stepped that one.
Dr_Pants912025-10-29 01:12
She doesn't have to win a fight if no one challenges her.
DCangst2025-10-29 01:21
She didn't have to win a fight because she abdicated. Hence, they side-stepped the issue. (And as I recall, he did challenge -- it's been a while since I saw it though, but I remember him challenging and her basically saying she didn't want to rule. She just wanted to carry the mantle of Black Panther)
xreddawgx2025-10-29 02:03
It also covers the basis of who is Black Panther in which being able to throw hands is a big requirement of the position. Also the opponent has the option to yield.
only1ammo2025-10-29 00:19
I'd argue this was personal, and a win-win scenario for Erik. He was either going to kill T'Challa and take the throne or kill the man that set up his father to be killed. The whole ref situation was an aside, also why nobody stepped in. Zuri also stepped in on his own volition to save T'Challa and removed himself from the referee role.
Lou-Shelton-Pappy-002025-10-29 00:20
Who’s gonna call foul? The referee’s dead
StoneGoldX2025-10-29 00:23
Air Bud Rules.
BigAlReviews2025-10-29 01:38
There's nothing in the rulebook that says he can't!
East-Bluejay68912025-10-29 00:30
Because Uncle James interfered in the match years ago
czechman452025-10-29 00:36
So that Forest Whitaker has a death scene.
zXerge2025-10-29 00:36
The ref let one to many eye pokes happen
Deepstatedingleberry2025-10-29 00:46
Bro turned on his dad and got him killed
GormanOnGore2025-10-29 00:54
He interfered.
jdlyga2025-10-29 01:13
It’s a classic pro wrestling ref bump. Take out the ref and you can break whatever rules you want. Until the ref wakes up or a new one appears.
