I don’t really care about Will being gay because I expected it tbh...

but why the fukk would he stay in the Minutemen once he realized they didn’t care about his problems fighting the klan? What did he have to gain from joining the team? Why would he even keep fukking CM at that point? The only reason I can think of is if he’s a weak man. You can’t have it both ways here. He’s either a strong man fighting a just cause or he’s a pawn with no backbone driven by bussy .

Lol, I'm wondering if we get clarity on whether Hooded Justices disappearance occurs right after he blows up the factory. If that's the case then you have "strong man blinded by the bussy"

I figured he halfway quit the group at the press conference, and left the group after he hung up the phone.

Why can't someone be both of these things?

In the context of the show there’s no reason for him to be there if they aren’t fighting his fight. He’s sold on the team concept because he could use more help fighting against the klan. Then, inexplicably he learns the Minutemen won’t help but still stays on the team. Why? Fame? He kept his identity secret the whole time. There’s literally no reason for him to stay... unless he’s in love with Captain Metropolis. Him remaining with the Minutemen kinda undermines his whole mission as a Tulsa survivor and makes him a weak sellout.

I’d need to see that timeline because from what I understand he was rockin with the Minute Men for a minute. (npi)

I don't think it makes him a sellout. But staying in the group, at least nominally, still provides a level of cover I think.

they didn't even want him to admit he was black.

Okay, some quick research helps clear this up.


Hooded Justice joined the Minutemen in 39
Minutemen broke up in 49

In the show, Will/Justice joins the Minutemen (probably in 39 I'll have to rewatch)
This is around the time his wife gets pregnant
Time moved forward and we see his son now grown to about 8 years old... Maybe 9? That's a near 10 year gap if that's the case.

Damon Lindelof thought of everything

 

[HHR]

Same thing. It gives him "cover" for the masses who would absolutely reject a black man killing scores of white men, no matter how justified it is.

THEY SQUASHED HIS CYCLOPS shyt
AS SOON AS HE JOINED
AND HE STAYED WITH THEM
FOR ANOTHER 10 YRS
FIGHTING FOR THEIR CAUSES.

This is probably going to be the best episode of the season when it's all said and done. First episode I can honestly say I liked.


But I'm still not trying to see 2 dudes going at it, and anybody that has a problem with that can pull up.

 

[Devilinurear]

Good ep

I wonder if Moore ever intended hooded justice to be black?

 

[douche]

He's just doing to the white man, what the white man has been doing to us for 400 years....

"He was fukking the pain away..."

 

[Zero]

It's remarkable how you fakkits are so mad about a show, made to explicitly be the continuation of a book, not being accessible to people who haven't read the book

Might have to dead posts like these going forward breh
