what yall got?

i think i have to go black dynamite. i really think it's the songs that put it over the top. the second season is also flawless.

although it does have better action and more consistent jokes too. if i were to rank the top 5 episodes of both shows though i bet there'd be like 2 black dynamite and 3 boondocks episodes. i think that might be just because i think i miss a lot of the 70s references. still overall first two seasons vs first two seasons, and we aint counting the last 2 boondocks. black dynamite is still just more consistent.

Boondocks. The characters are more fleshed out, I'm a fan of the laidback style/tone of season 1 and the fukkery of season 2. Boondocks secondary and tertiary characters had more life to em. Plus personally i was reading boondocks strips on the bus in high school so when the show came out i had more of a connection to it, whereas BD came out (damn in 09 time flies :wtf:) when i was grown already


I gotta rewatch black dynamite and compare

Boondocks. I honestly only made it a few episodes into Black Dynamite. I just cant get into that anime style. I gotta pay more attention to it when i revisit. I enjoyed the movie much more than the series.

the movie came out in 09. i'm talking about the animated show that dropped a 10 minute pilot in 2011 and the first season of BD started in july 2012.

i feel you though. idk if you saw past the first season, but the show really goes classic in season 2 imo. i'd check it regardless. thanks for the input though breh.

I gotta go with the first 2 seasons of "The Boondocks". The 1st season of "Black Dynamite" was just aight to me. I didn't appreciate "Black Dynamite" until Season 2 & saw how much better a show it was than that last season of "The Boondocks".

yeah i personally think the first season of black dynamite is the weakest of all four seasons, but i think it's pretty damn strong. i think second season of black dynamite is classic though. above them all. i can't find a weakness. :wow:

i'm watching boondocks first two seasons for like a 4th time this week so maybe i might flip.

Oh nah i understood. I was citing my affinity for the source material prior to each show's debut as a contributing reason to why I liked one more than the other. I had more history with boondocks' source material before it's show aired than I did with Black Dynamite's source material before that show aired, and I think that's why I lean towards boondocks...

The Boondocks, and to me it's not that close.

The first 5 or 6 episodes of the first Season were so beyond flames it's hard to put into words.

They started their run with:

An episode about white privilege 10 years before it was a thing/meme
The R. Kelly episode
A warning about what it's like to try and wife a ho
Stinkmeaner
A prison rape themed episode
Gangstalicious

They set a benchmark that even they had trouble beating.

Basically. Shyt's not close at all. First two seasons of Boondocks are classic not just for comedy but for impact.

black dynamite s2 > boondocks 1 & 2> black dynamite season 1

black dynamite better overall though, boondocks fell off hard after season 2.

Season 1 Boondocks is one of the GOAT seasons ever for an animated series, hell for a TV show.

Black Dynamite cartoon is a bit too over the top for my liking, strangely enough.
