Also love the detail they're giving to every relationship and everyones point of view. Most superhero shows don't do a good job at really explaining where the significant other is coming from and what their issue is with the main hero. Especially if they don't want them to do the hero thing. But in this show? I get it. I get why Lynn doesn't want Jefferson back in the streets and she's not wrong. But Jefferson isn't wrong for wanting to be black lightning either. Like I said, it's a lot more nuanced than I'm used to with these CW joints. Flash never holds Barry's feet to the fire until the last episode of the season, and Arrow, while often reminding us how Oliver was a screw up and makes mistakes even as green arrow, the show normally comes down on his side (unless felicity is involved :russ:) but Black Lightning isn't saying either one of them are wrong or right.

That peter is a lil too pushy tho when he's talking to jefferson about bringing black lightning back.

Your last point says more about the fans than the shows. That’s immature shyt
It is, but that's how these fan bases are. They somehow want well written stories and characters who can go about their business unabated by, ya know, character developement and interpersonal conflict.

I think it's why so many of the CW shows rely on the tried and true "you lied to me!" bullshyt for character conflict. It seems to be the only way to make the medicine go down.

This show has people getting shot point blank in the head and in the chest. This isn’t for kids. Not all comic books or superheroes are for kids. If you go to a comic book store that’s obvious within a few min of walking around

Also that:russ: but yeah it’s for kids.

Someone getting shot point blank with a gun or an arrow to the head is cool. Along with blood splattering. But :whoa: when it comes to someone gay

Loved Black Lightning going to get LaLa and the old heads already knowing what was up.

Doorman: Black Lightning. My man.:myman:

BL: Where's LaLa?:birdman:

Doorman: Top Floor. Penthouse.:blessed:

Also, Jennifer's boyfriend is going to turn bad or die. Homeboy is acting way too nice and perfect.

I don't think he'll turn bad, because he lived through those hard times. But, him dying which help Jennifer to manifest her powers, I can see that.

Yeah he definitely comes across as a sacrificial lamb. Too good for this world type. And those types never last

I still laugh thinking about that Season One episode where Oliver killed a whole house full of dudes. Tearing through 20+ nikkas like it was CoD and he was trying to get the tactical nuke.:russ:
