He wouldn’t know for sure Clark County actually wasn’t carrying until the next time he talked to Clark County, which probably wouldn’t be for 1-2 days at least. At any rate, if he’s already throwing himself on the sword for somebody else, he might not feel all that inclined to start looking into it too deeply.

Black Lightning already has two black female superheros!

The Star Wars Power Hour, coming this Fall!

The Mayor was definitely intended as Obama era—the African-American outsider that sweeps into office and tries to overcome entrenched forces to achieve positive change. Then, Trump is elected, and we got a show about an entertainer that ran for office as a joke, was elected almost by accident, brings in his equally…

Whatever is happening with Agents of SHIELD is definitely Disney’s call, not ABC’s.

To be fair, the television stuff is almost an also-ran to the movies. If one of the movies crashes and burns, that might be a problem.

I doubt it. I think there’s some complicated legal thing that limits what characters the Netflix shows can use. If they haven’t even mentioned SHIELD yet, I doubt they’ll ever carry any characters over.

I think the political stuff was always intended as the main focus—a commentary on the Obama years, with an outsider optimist ends up in the White House, and tries to get something done in the face of intense backlash from an American public that doubts his legitimacy.

Yeah, I remember seeing the commercials with Reily in a tattered WWII uniform and swinging a sword and wondering how he would fit in, but he matched the material perfectly. The novelty of his character gave him something to play, even when there wasn’t much for the character to do.

As somebody who works in a call center, I related to the prison sketch more than I care to admit.

My guess would be that it was written as Jurassic World, but the actors slipped into Jurassic Park.

Related: I was just thinking today that one of the big mistakes DC seemed to make with their cinematic universe is undervaluing the importance of functioning as big film crossovers, not just comic book characters in the same movie. What made Avengers such an event isn’t that it’s a movie with multiple superheroes, but…

Spoiler warnings for:
