Official Power Book III: Raising Kanan Season 1 Thread

[MJ Truth]

Facts. I started laughing when I saw him just thinkin of his character on Ballers, nikka was pure comedy. Miss that show

That show was so trash from an actual storytelling perspective but I can’t act like I didn’t fukk with it heavy. Really captured Miami.

BMF is the 80s early to mid 80s

Wait, so they not addressing BMF in the 90s? That was like their peak... I thought BMF started in 1989

Why do I get the feeling all of Kanan's friends will get clapped by the end of the season

Calling it now, Famous sister gonna die after getting involved with Lou-Lou and it's gonna cause friction between him and Kanan and then he gets killed off.

Possibility of Famous sister dying, but there shouldn't be a fallout between him and Kanan, given that Kanan names his son after him

Look what he did to his son

You could be right but I'm gonna stick to my prediction, that could mean nothing. There's another mafia show I've seen where the main character set his father up to be killed and then he turns around and names his son after him.

It’s Power everybody dies lol

 

[DANJ!]

watched the first 2 episodes. I'm confused on how they portraying this younger Kanan. Because I don't see how this kid grows up to be the psychopath we all know.

Leads me to believe he sees his mom die in a horrific way

So you ain't want no character development, just jump into 15 year old Kanan ruthlessly cuttin nikkas throats in the first minute, huh...

I mean in the first episode, it shows him crossing over from bein a regular kid to catching a body and bein told that he's in the streets now because he chose to get involved... they moved that story along faster than I even expected em to. I thought it woulda been more gradual but his beginning got explained clearly in the first ep. At that rate, the story definitely gonna tell itself more throughout the season.

 

[DANJ!]

he didn’t random decide he wanted to catch a body he wanted to kill Buck 20 already because he had the girl he wanted, him being on his mother’s block was the excuse.

that’s psychopath shyt

This is what I got from it as well... he didn't like dude because he had the girl, and had money and clothes... he literally said all this while narrating, and then said "fukk Buck 20"... that's just bein a hateful nikka then he saw him on what he thought was moms block and that was the last straw... but he already had built up contempt for this dude who actually didn't do shyt to him... that's some Kanan shyt all day.

Then tried to get at dude girl a week after he murked fam this is literally baby kanan, Some of y’all need to stop trying to predict shyt , just let it play out , it’s just a fake urban drama

Reggie from Ballers is a dope ass Actor.

My fav character this season...by far. Comes off as the most authentic.

 

[Dr. Narcisse]

I feel like he's trying too hard

That and then he's doing his scenes with the best actor (probably) on the show. So he's going to come across weaker.

In Mr. Robot his character was so understated that it worked really well. Hopefully he's improving as he learns.

 

[Dr. Narcisse]

I was thinking this as well, but I will be patient, reserve judgment for now, and allow the prequel to do the build up. To go from being in the Namond/Tariq template to a wise cracking Jason Vorhees, son and cousin killing, smothering old women with Jesus stitched pillows, is a tall order.

To become what he was in Power, He and Jukebox would have to have front row seats and witness the most brutal type of torture and killing of his mother, uncles, and crew. Kanan constant alludes to Jukebox being just as wild as he is.

While true...

I fear they could easily argue it was "Prison that fukked him up mentally"
