🌩 Black Lightning (CW Series) Series Finale! 🌩

[Master Zik]

I enjoy how it doesn’t feel campyand procedural yet like the other CW Superhero shows. No hanging out in a secret lair waiting for the next problem.

Black Lightning needs a pep talk to beat the latest villain of the week

That's when you'll know the show fell off.

It really is dealing with inner city issues. So the show is just as much about the politics and culture of the real world many of us experience. Can't make that continuously cheesey and campy and expect it to last.

Smart decisions by the creator(s), producers, writers, and showrunner.

The only negative I have is that the ex wife is starting to get mad annoying ( it was ok when Jefferson suited up to rescue his daughters, but she gets mad when he suits up to help someone else...).

That's an area I give some leeway.

Given this is a more adult hero who retired and is coming back we know he's had his battles. So for the (ex)wife they gotta tell more than show (do flashbacks which I don't think they'll do a lot of).

I think of it in terms of Spider-Man comics; Just from the 80s to the 2000s he's been through a lot of ****. Life threatening, friends and family, all sorts of torturous ****. He was married the whole time. Now BL don't got a healing factor so it was worse. I can totally understand my wife being sick of me coming home with bullet wounds and bruised/busted ribs. Then even when he stops the marriage leads to a divorce but a door open to get back together.

I went to the BL FB page and saw a lot of women complaining about that lesbian scene. Talking about they had to turn it off because their kids were watching. SMH, if they bothered to pay attention this show ain't for kids.

Maybe even Hart of Dixie

Lol my lady watches that show. I told her this was a spin off and that he's not a mayor no more and that he's a principal now. She didn't believe me but she likes this show now.

Forgot all about this

BLACK LIGHTNING Executive Producer Wants STATIC SHOCK To Appear On The Show

The CW's new Black Lightning superhero series is off to a strong start in both ratings and critic reviews. That has the show's executive producer, Salim Akil, looking to the future with talk of a desire for Static Shock to cameo. With Black Lightning not part of the Arrowverse, there's the possibility of The CW creating a new superhero universe, a Lightningverse, so to speak. After all, who knows how long Arrow will continue and the ratings for The Flash and Legends of Tomorrow are both down this year.

"..we want to entertain. I know this show is topical and it has some political merit to it, but we also want to entertain and make people laugh and get them excited about the fight sequences, and the characters that are coming in, as well as the villains that are coming in. We hope it will be a well-rounded experience so yes, we’d love to see other superheroes come through. Static could be interesting."

Yes please!!! I'm also glad this show isn't in the arrowverse. But instead why not do a Milestone universe? I could picture static shock and Icon showing up.

 

[KingParappa]

I'm here for this.

 

[Master Zik]

This preacher I'll always think if this actor as a villain from last movies and shows.

 

[Master Zik]

Ayo

Athlete's foot in places it shouldn't be That was some unexpected humor.

Anissa's got a lot of fine chicks in her orbit

 

[Mark Antony]

I like how the villain is dead *** an unrestricted self hating *** negro.

 

[tay1]

I guess I'll check this out eventually. Thought it would be corny

 

[Master Zik]

I like how the villain is dead *** an unrestricted self hating *** negro.

Son's comments about the church

 

[Cashflow]

This show is so black, I love it! #CancelArrow

 

[36Hypno]

I even bought Jill Scott as a villain. She spit those lines with some venom.

Props to rfx45 for linking me to this thread.

Black Lightning is the antithesis of every other CW superhero show and I love it.

First episode felt like a soap opera. Interesting how fast they ratcheted things up in the two following episodes.

 

[paulwest1985]

That conversation the youngest daughter had with her parents about her having sex......................I couldn't have had that convo with my parents. And then Jefferson told his ex the next day at school that was some white people stuff

 

[whoisthisguy]

Love this show!

Please keep Arrowverse away from this

 

[KingParappa]

Love this show!

Please keep Arrowverse away from this

I hope to god this stays away from Arrow & co. The Supergirl reference made my heart skip but seeing the outsiders comic makes me think its not in the Supergirl universe and she's just a comic book character

 

[Master Zik]

The show has mentioned/referenced metahuman/vigilantes in other cities though.

So I do wonder if there could be a version of some heroes or a chance to debut some new ones.

Plus I know eventually CW will cave and have BL be a part of their yearly crossover at some point.

 

[TipsyMcStagga]

Caught up on this show yesterday. A lot better than I thought it would be.

 

[User 15002]

Bet the daughter ends up in a x-over, but BL is too old to run with the crew.

 

[Master Zik]

Son is having a tough time being a father.

 

[Mark Antony]

The slim thick school board chick is perfection.

 

[Master Zik]

Yeah she looking real dope in these scenes just chilling with gay/bi chicks.
