We really need a new BET.

Also, thoughts on Shaun King becoming the de facto leader of BLM?

who made him the defacto leader? I could see setting him up as a decoy figure-head.

edit: once Operation Caliphate kicks off I mean, they don't need that kind of business right now. But once things kick off, let the Feds tail and surveil him instead of the real shot callers.

Well the media is a tool of you name it. I won't give it much truck, they'll say anything and they do. Won't stick with anyone that matters, but let Real America think whatever.

edit: oh yeah, this also matters. which media? mainsteam media? sell out liberal media?

Like CNN or something. I was a following a link from twitter.
 
More referring to the fact that the media has started saying "Shaun King, leader of the Black Lives Matter movement". Saw that pop up in an article the other day and was like, huh.

Doesn't surprise me, Breitbart and Milo ran a smear campaign last year and he's s convenient boogeyman now
 
So, I've been looking at Nioh for PS4 and it looks pretty damn good. Like a Japanese demon souls. You know what I mean. Anyways, might have to pick it up down the line. But there are other games I haven't played yet like:

Killing floor 2

Wasteland 2 directors cut

Zombie Army Trilogy

Yakuza 0

Gravity Rush 2

Witcher 3 complete edition

Dude came out as black and gay. then disappeared. Captain Cold was his first big job in a LOOOOONGGGG time considering he was a lead in a HUGE show

It was cool to see the Prison Break bros together on the Flash the last few seasons. Still have to check out Legends of Tomorrow sometime, haven't seen a single episode yet. Anyone here watch it and/or Supergirl?

Season 1 of Legends is actual ass

Season 2 of Legends ramps it up to 11 and has not slowed down a bit

Season 1 of Supergirl is pretty decent

Season 2 of Supergirl is currently the second best DCTV show

Had an episode dealing with Jimmy's black rage in the workplace

Wat. No.

I always wanted to play a Yakuza game and 0 sounds like a good place to start.

Literally never heard of the series until now myself. Was considering picking it when it's cheaper. Although apparently there's not many copies in stock, so maybe that's not happening lmao

Arrow
Supergirl
Flash

Arrow is beastin again, Supergirl is really really good, Flash has fallen behind but will hopefully get back again, and I'm loving what Legends is doing with the Legion of Doom

None of em touch Dat SHIELD tho

Not that it wasn't better before, but that last LoT episode definitely solidified the show being better than Supergirl. Also they got the most entertaining cast out of everybody right now.

To me, it's:

Arrow
Legends

And then Flash and Supergirl change spots every now and then. Though gun to my head, Supergirl is still the worst, because at least Flash has more characters I like, Draco Malfoy, as well as a relevant villain.
Yea I know another speedster is dumb at this point, but what does Supergirl got?
Also Guardian is just... ugh. The show has cute/endearing moments like Alex coming out, and Martian Manhunter does some great scenes, overall it's still lacking. Definitely better than S1 though.

And yes, SHIELD is #1.

Like...

Only times I'm been referred to as black were when I was staying with a ex-friend's family for a little bit. So in that way I really get why these celebs are saying what they're saying.

My brother, who's as dark as Luke Cage, he's black. It feels strange to consider

myself in the same group when I know less people will consider me to be, treat as such, and especially when my skin is somewhat objectively halfway to what a white dude's is.

I think non-white (or Asian) is pretty much the key difference here. To racists, if you're Asian or non-white, you're "brown" or not "normal". So in that sense, from that perspective, I'm black and so are these celebs. In a world without that craziness, they're describing themselves in a way that doesn't care how society/insitutional racism would see it.

~~

Now for Karrine Steffans' quote. If she really said that shit, the fuck is up with her.

So.
I was watching the Tidal SNL sketch with Ariana Grande (cuz internet hole) and I was curious about her height cause she looks tiny. So I google it (5 feet, if you're wondering) but it was the related questions that weirded me right out. Not only did it have an answer for what her bra size was, it had a detailed analysis of her body shape and its relative aesthetics. Celebrity culture is fucking weird.

That's fair, I'm just still giving the show goodwill for being so good before the crossover

Flash has fallen in quality since Season 1, but it's still really good.

But that's mostly for agencies etc. if she were to do modelling ~~ it would be in her casting profiles anyway.

I can't believe that I'm finally getting a Runaways TV show. Runaways was the first comic I actually read. Like, I had zeitgeist knowledge of characters from movies and cartoons, but Runaways was the first time I actually read a physical comic
well, it was actually the Marvel Digests that I read but I eventually caught up and read the floppy comics too
. Now if we can get Young Avengers (which is such a no brainer).

I came to this realization when I noticed that feet commonly showed up whenever you start typing a female celebrities name in most search engines.

So Supergirl is worth diving into? It's on my Netflix queue but I've dragging my feet. The last CW show I tried (the 100), I just couldn't get into. Also cause pop music in a [futuristic] sci-fi show is a major offence in my book.

Flash needs to hang up the evil speedsters.

They should do Johnny Sorrow next, he is not a speedster but he can stop them

Honestly I only watched a few episodes of the first season, including the one where they did a crossover with the Flash. I just skipped to the second season where it was on the CW, quality stepped up to an acceptable point. It's an okay show, if you love the portrayal of the actress that plays Supergirl, then you'll probably like it well enough.

How deep into his rogues gallery they go so far?

Supergirl just looks like Smallville with slightly better effects cause it's been like ten years. Which isn't bad I don't mind Smallville it's just not my thing.

Melissa Benoist is such a good actor and so damn great as Kara that I have gotten a lot of enjoyment out of the show. And the dude playing Superman is really good for the three episodes he's been in it.

I want the Rogues to be the villains for a season or two damn it

Supergirl is so much better than Smallville holy shit. That's an insult to my being with that comparison. The hell.

They had some obscure ones like Multiplex, and the sand dude.

Kara acts like she is 13, that kinda annoyed me.

Maybe we will get a grown ass Power Girl show.
