write 6 seasons with tariq as a bytch made, spoiled, annoying, ungrateful little fukk head then decide to make a spin off about him brehs.

this is like the sopranos deciding to make a spin off with aj as the lead. :childplease:

Exactly. If you wanna go this cliche Shakespearian tragedy route...cool do that. But build this nikka up first. Actually make him little Ghost. Make him have supreme intellect and heart and able to handle shyt on his own. If you build him up like that and give him legit reasons to want to kill his dad (and don't telegraph it for 3 years) then you got something. Instead, you give him every bytch made quality imaginable and try to pass if off as "he was so hurt, angry, confused" :camby:

They gave him the green light push with character development and no face turn. Poor booking 101

I don't know if the kid Mike Rainey Jr is a good enough actor at this stage of his career to be the lead of a show but we'll see.

What a sloppy ending though.

My Power journey stops with ghost. Ain't no way i'm going to continue watching a serious based on a trash character. shyt will be lucky to see a second season. shyt is a flop.

The most unfortunate thing to me is he hasn’t been given any material to really show his chops or stretch his ability. As of now, there’s no way to tell if he’sa decent actor or trash because the writing has been inconsistent.

‘Power Book III: Raising Kanan’ Casts Patina Miller

‘Power Book III: Raising Kanan’ Casts Patina Miller
Patina Miller has been cast in a leading role in the upcoming “Power” prequel “Raising Kanan.”

Officially titled “Power Book III: Raising Kanan,” the series is a prequel set in the ‘90s during the early years of “Power” character Kanan Stark. Miller will star as Raquel “Raq” Thomas, Kanan’s mother. The character is described as cold, hard, and fierce; a successful and deadly woman taking names in a man’s world. As much as she cares for her son, there are many instances where one wonders if she loves him for who he is, or if she loves him merely as an extension of herself. The middle child of three, Raq also carries the heavy burden as the earner for her two brothers.

I think season 2 starring 2-bit would be better to be honest. I mean he’s a likable character by far and he’s kemp’s boyfriend or whatever.

I laugh every time I see him because he’s just a funny nikka. I can’t stand seeing Ghost’s bytch ass son.

an entire season dedicated to a corner boy who shown no type of business accumen or boss moves

lol

might as well have qdubbs star in season 3 if he was alive.

How's that any different than Tariq? Tariq is not from the streets, doesn't understand the streets. He has no connects, no supply. He's green as fucck and would likely get finessed and killed if he tried to become a power player. Yet somehow it's believed he will rise to power. Atleast 2-Bit knows the game and the players

You’d really rather watch tariq than 2-Bit?

i'd rather watch yazz become the mary j blige character on book 2.

2bit is some low level goon we know nothing about. tariq atleast has a backstory. But i'd rather not watch any of them. 2bit is more likeable atleast he knows who he is. But he hasn't shown any acumen of being able to carry an entire show.

Low level goon is better than not being a goon at all

:mjlol:

At least with 2-bit you have a likable character that’s funny. That shyt would be a comedy show.

We know tariq’s story, but what does that mean? Who cares?

It’s even better we know nothing about 2-bit, that way we can have a show that goes more into that.
