GAVE HIMSELF A MOONROOF

I shouldn’t laugh but goddamn

 

[Bobby Lashleys eyebrows]

Bruh, this show is pure underrated black excellence. Superb cast and storylines. With the exception of the episode with the invisible car, this season might be better than last.

 

[Black_Panther_JS]

Definitely a good 41 minutes of entertainment. It's just how will

As entertainment yes, just not as an episode of Atlanta.

What?

 

[Miles Davis]

Go into nikka’s basements you met off Craigslist brehs

so i just woke up. i think imma needa rewatch the episode having read tweets. i think some on twitter might think it's deeper than it really was. remember it's donald glover making this shyt, although the fact that it's that open for interpretation says a lot about the episode as a whole and just mike period i guess.

I agree it’s not as deep as it’s being made out to be. It’s clearly “dueling”/dual Michael Jackson characters, showing the pros and cons of his life and upbringing. You can throw in whatever commentary of art/fame is pain, etc. it’s all tied together.

The acting and directing carried the story and writing imo.

man that last scene with the him driving off in the uhaul and the stevie wonder playing hit home for me. reminded me of when we had to move grandmas stuff out when she passed.

Maybe



Or maybe they picked Earn up from somewhere and he just got in the back like anyone would normally do

Martha

this is the problem when shows become too abstract. nikkas read into the most menial things.

Dope episode!

I'm not sold on that supposed to be representing MJ though

“My father, Joe Jackson, Marvin Gaye Sr, Tiger Woods father...” playing on words to give it away

 

[PoorAndDangerous]

I was confused and still am, at first thought watching the episode I thought Teddy somehow dressed himself to play Bennie in the wheelchair to get Darius to go up to the attic and then Teddy was gonna kill Darius up there.

They're the same person just representing the duality of MJ's personality, a musical genius and a tortured soul

 

[Dad]

Breh, i'm telling you this whole season has been DARK!

 

[Monoblock]

It was a loud thud when Darius found out he was blocked in

Yep. When you see Benny roll out of the elevator he has blood on his shirt from a gunshot wound and breathing heavily right before shooting Teddy.

Benny and Teddy were literal metaphors to Michael Jackson's duality. One was trying to kill off the other so they can be liberated from the torment.

 

[Dad]

I wonder why he chose Stevie's Music On My Mind album as the backdrop for this episode?

played evil at the end, Darius was listening to 'Sweet Little Girl' ( i think) in the truck.

they also talked about him being blind.

this was too deep

 

[gluvnast]

I wonder if this counts as a regret debt or however Darius had said it to Paperboi?
