Black Jesus (Season Three)

[Sccit]

I DUNO IF IM TRIPPIN CUZ I AINT SEEN THE FIRST 2 SEASONS IN SO LONG, BUT I COULDA SWORE THE ENTIRE MYSTIQUE OF THE SHOW WAS ORIGINALLY THAT WE DIDNT REALLY KNOW WHETHER DUDE WAS ACTUALLY JESUS OR JUST A “CON MAN” ON SOME OTHER SHIIT....

I DONT REMEMBER HIM PERFORMING ANY STR8 UP MIRACLES LIKE HE WAS DOIN IN THIS EPISODE BY HEALING BULLET WOUNDS N CREATING FISH OUTA NOWHERE N WHAT NOT. I REMEMBER IT ALWAYS BEIN MORE COVERT.

AGAIN, MAYBE IM MISREMEMBERING, CONSIDERIN I WAS SMOKIN A LOTA GOOD KUSH WHEN WATCHIN THESE SHOWS BACK N THE DAY, BUT IT DEF CAUGHT ME OFF GUARD.



THAT SAID, EPISODE WAS SOLID.. SUX LOSING HALF THE CAST, BUT IT SEEMS LIKE THEY GOT POTENTIAL TO BUILD. LETS SEE WHERE THIS GOES.

I just saw the episode, and I would of thought this episode was going to be wack after reading some of you guys post. The new episode was pretty funny and solid to me.

Your right, the past seasons he would pull a miracle here and there. But he would also try to a pull a miracle and nothing would happen.

EXACTLY.. AND THE MIRACLES HE DID DO ALWAYS LEFT THE VIEWER GUESSING ..... LIKE MOVING A HUGE ROCK OUT THE WAY WIT HIS BARE HANDS. I DONT REMEMBER THEM BEING AS IMPOSSIBLE AS IN THIS EPISODE.

GOTTA REWATCH THE FIRST 2 SEASONS.

 

[Chris Cool]

Not true at all. The show started with him doing shyt like that. They got robbed by them white kids and got their money back, he magically have the white kids back the money.

Healing a gunshot would? He brought somebody back from the dead.

don't know what show y'all was watching.

SO WHAT WAS THE ENTIRE DYNAMIC OF VIC NOT BELIEVING AND CALLIN HIM “CON MAN”?? MAYBE THATS WHY I WAS THINKIN IT WAS LEFT UP TO INTERPRETATION...LIKE I SAID, I DONT FULLY REMEMBER, SO I DEF NEED TO REWATCH.


THINK IMA PUT ON THE PILOT RN

 

[Sccit]

JUST REWATCHED THE PILOT N THERE WAS NOT ONE INDISPUTABLE MIRACLE IN IT..

EVEN THE MIRACLE U MENTIONED WIT JESUS GIVIN THE MONEY BACK TO THE WHITEBOYS WASNT SOME CRAZY UNFATHOMABLE SHIIT LIKE HEALIN BULLET WOUNDS. SHIIT, THE HISPANIC CHICK WAS EVEN DOUBTING IT WAS REALLY JESUS IN THAT EPISODE.

MAYBE THE MIRACLES GOT GREATER AS THE SEASONS WENT ON, BUT COMPARING THE FIRST EPISODE OF SEASON 1 TO THE LATEST EPISODE, THERES A HUGE DIFFERENCE IN THE MYSTIQUE OF JESUS.

YOUVE NEVER HEARD OF A PICK POCKET? AND THE MIRACLES IN THE PILOT WERE PURPOSELY MADE DOABLE BY A REGULAR PERSON VIA THE PRODUCERS

HERES AN EARLY REVIEW I JUST FOUND FROM THE FIRST SEASON:

Brilliant
Aaron Macgruder (The Boondocks) and Mike Clattenburg (Trailer Park Boys) team up to bring you what could be one of the freshest new comedy series in years. The basic premise of Black Jesus is as follows: An African- American male has apparently proclaimed himself to be Jesus and appears to perform miracles to his friends and neighborhood, such as turning water into Cognac. Most people around him accept that he is Jesus, but it's not clear if he really is or if he's a fraud, at least in the pilot episode. And it's not explained how Jesus came to be a typical black man living in South Central LA. And a typical black man he is. Beyond his constant attempts to help people and be a good person, preaching love and forgiveness, he's really a complete jackass to everyone and is totally oblivious to this fact. He uses typical urban slang like calling his bros pimps and catcalling women, he smokes all his friends weed, wastes their money, leeches off of people and generally he's just a lazy homeless bum. And this is why I think this show is brilliant. It gives his character a lot of room to develop, while providing an interesting commentary on both religion and racial stereotypes. And there's something uniquely hilarious about seeing a guy callously wasting his friend's mother's tax return money and then shrugging it off by saying that his friend still has the love grace and forgiveness of our Lord and Saviour. It's not really important whether he's actually Jesus or not because he's not supposed to be the hero. It's more of a cautionary tale. What they're trying to do with this show is try to tell us how to use religion and love, and power to be better people and make our world a better place, not use it for our own selfish ends like is so easy to do. I think our hero will eventually learn how to really be like Jesus, but it's more fun to watch him completely mess it up for a while. Lastly for all of the people calling this show blasphemous, I really don't think the creators intended this as an actual portrayal of Jesus, and I refer back to my theory that the character is actually a fraud. I'm sure they never meant it as an attack on Christianity or against the black community. It's a satire, so lighten up people!




LOOKS LIKE IT WASNT JUST ME.

Watch the scene again. It's made very clear that her transfers the money to them while they're driving away in the car.

NOT AT ALL.. IT WAS MADE TO APPEAR THAT WAY, BUT ITS LEFT TO INTERPRETATION ON WHETHER HE LEFT THE MONEY WIT THE WHITEBOYS BACK THERE

IF THEY WANTED TO MAKE IT OBVIOUS, THEY WOULDA HAD HIM COUNTING THE MONEY IN THE CAR N WHAT NOT

THATS WHY THERE WAS A HEAVY EMPHASIS ON OTHER CHARACTERS DOUBTING HE’S JESUS, WHICH WAS ALSO NOT TO BE FOUND IN THE LATEST EPISODE.

there's sound effects and all.

AND?

THE SOUND EFFECTS CAN BE INDICATING PERCEPTION JUST AS MUCH AS IT COULD BE INDICATING REALITY

AGAIN, ITS WAY MORE SUBTLE THAN IT WAS IN THE LATEST EPISODE
