The episode could have been better


I mean, are they really going to abuse that old MJ joke? I mean, it had it's funny moments, but it seemed almost like they used reject Boondock material and just adapted it to fit into Black Dynamite's universe.

I think they should stay away from cracking on celebrities. Though I wouldn't mind Foxy Brown making a cameo, or the other icons from the time.

Black Dynamite vs. Blacula would be awesome.

It looks like they may go that way. The pilot had parodies of the Sesame Street crew, and the third episode involves Richard Pryor (played by Eddie Griffin?).

Still, I kind of feel for em. Look at the source material: Black Dynamite is a parody/homage to blaxploitation and African American pop culture from the 60s and 70s, but how much are you willing to bet the average viewer was born in the 90s, or at the very latest the 80s? There's only so much they can do.

I know it's a dirty game, but it's the only one The Man left us to play.

For me, they could have the parody be apart of the show, but unlike Boondocks, have arcs and mysteries and a actual story for each season.

One thing I never really liked about a lot of American animation is each episode is stand alone.
