muscles like this! posted:The problem with that is Under the Hood mentions that Captain Metropolis was pretty racist while a different supplemental part reveals he was secretly in a relationship with Hooded Justice. Racists gently caress poc all the time tho

Onehandclapping posted:I feel like the general consensus is that the show is amazing from the start, reaches an incredibly high peak with the flashback episode, then just kind of shits the bed by switching focus to some really uninspired scifi. The Kavalry wanting their own Manhattan was basically an allegory for white America's consumption, appropriation and jealousy (of the perceived strength and "inherent coolness") of black culture. Or at least that's how I read it. Like the same metaphor from Get Out but less elegant. White America loves to take things that are traditionally black and repackage them for a white audience as new, trendy and edgy. This works for the show even better imo because the show is taking a traditionally white story and Hero (Watchman/ Dr M) and made him black instead, pissing off a lot of white boys who have no doubt taken part in the white America's cannibalism of black culture at some point in their lives whether they're aware of it or not.
