The people saying the show is racist cause white people in the show were racist are very ill informed. My main critics is unrealistic script like…the man is being hunted and is very comfortable walking in public spaces also I find that the show tends to villainize white men whilst humanizing white women maybe cause black men feel like white men are more difficult whilst the opposite feels true to black women idk I just found that to be weird and not the best writing

The show is decent despite season 2 but what I don’t like is the stereotypical representation of black women (the mother figure) as masculine ,aggressive, with a strong sexual appetite I feel like corrective promotion was given with Mel but her mother feels not fully fleshed out she seems like a war hungry monster with little nuance if maybe you flesh out her character showcasing a backstory of her childhood the traumas she faced and how she HAD TO BE STRONG cause many older black women who were boomers and gen x became strong after dealing with discrimination, racist threats, humiliation , being ruthlessly disciplined and community violence as humans adapt to their environment otherwise the show is pretty good. A good example of a ruthless heartless character who had nuanced is Beatrice from Bojack Horseman I would like to see the show tackle generational trauma.

They felt robotic..like in Wanda-vision the acting and production was just bleh...(understandable 1st season) doesn't as look as great as the story. The first EP it's choppy...hard to follow, some awkward moments... that don't add backstory or contextualize well...anything. I wish like with S&L you added backstory in the beginning to recap everything we haven't read (her backstory then jump-cut oder Flashfoward>... to her Naomi an ADOPTED teen finding her Identity (do 3 ep's covering that ) Add realism make her socially awkward have anxiety something add something make it realistic perhaps everything looks perfect like it came easy but she had to work for it 3x harder she's like the main Black kid in a white school in the suburbs plus she's adopted (some cultural differences) not just escapism showcase realism And the angles were a bit awkward ({they can do better}, loved the comic still... And if you Add CGI/fights I would advise later is key just...yea you know that small CW budget focus on storytelling to stifle unintended comedic relief. Love you. REALISM it's missing storytelling it's good! it's a disconnect because I feel like I see a Black character like a comic book but I can't see the black PERSON behind it...it's like when someone who knows blackness from as a viewer on the out side or as a spectator wrote it... like...IDK Example-its like no one knows how A.S.D (autism Spectrum disorder) feels... they can know how it looks, acts so on...so forth I know she's a black character but I can't see her or feel relatable I can relate to her with her life... but that feeling of still trying to TRULY relate (yet) missing something... there IS hope still... though BE IN-DEPTH add something What would it smell, look, taste like in real-life. How did ____ feel when ( ) happened? Add your real-life emotions into this it doesn't have to be inspiring it has to be imperfect..that's what makes it ART. UPDate: IT GOT BETTER!!!!!!!!! EP 3 SMACKS

For a Marvel's movie it was great but for Dc, it's a different standard for me. Because I rate base upon potential...I feel Marvel has found there's but he is a good movie just not a good Dc movie. They scrapped the complexity of the movie to create a feel-good easy movie with fun action scenes a jolly-go-lucky feel The Boys is a good example of Gory, Violence, Comedy Realism, and complexity executed purposefully characters...this was ok it had a feel-good ending with cheap comedy. People are avoiding it because of its reputation... and HBO glitches. I felt it was really unrealistic and kinda predictable but I'm a fan so it could be different for non-fans. And I feel like they dumb down Harley Quinn over and over to appease a mainstream audience where Joker is allowed to be JOKER and have a story beyond sex and humor surrounding joking about and romanticizing trauma. predisposition to ending the movie in a moral happy high feel was evident. The belief that the villain went TOO FAR hence leading to agents deliberating their humanity felt a bit self-righteous and ignorant to their own lack of sympathy but that's just me. Moreover, the agents felt more like shield agents? IDK and it just felt misplaced and uncomfortable in the DEU film. In Addition, I felt this gave of more of a Loki vibe than a DC vibe because DC's originality wasn't there. That's why I marked down the score to 6/10 compared to the first one it's 9/10 but that's a h easy feat. They pushed Jon Cena's up so high It felt forced. I liked him but Sheesh chill out...they pushed up characters I feel that helped secure the movie in the marvel formula like peacemaker he's ok but it felt like he was trying too hard to fill the movie and I felt like he was too centered as the "starlord" of the movie that's the main thing I didn't care for but it's ok. I'm not sure why but I felt like James Gunn didn't really know what to do with Boomerang and Flagg perhaps it's the writers who are different and it makes it harder to write for those characters. I felt it would've been smart to kill off Flagg and Boomerang but add killer frost and someone else but that's me just to bury the old movie...Keeping the same cast was tough. Flagg doesn't easily assimilate well with that Marvel formula hence it felt Offputting and peacekeeper is more of the star lord of the group the only thing I didn't like is when Flagg ol died and there were plenty of loopholes in the film like Flagg's friend Waller disappearing halfway in the movie and they shoved Peacemaker up where no one requested him to be. if you're a Marvel fan you'll like peacemaker because he's funny and like a marvel character. if your Dc fan he's ok... you might be a bit angry that they didn't use the iconic nostalgic villains and feel like this movie didn't respect the base. Sometimes it feels like they keep attempting to appease to marvel fans plenty of DC people aren't toxic aside from Ayer and Snyder bots they just want to see a good film but their own if they just want a good film if you target the audience of the dark knight and the joker they'll show every time...spot the monopoly developing an audience of mainstream non-superhero fans is ok but not great for the long term educating your audience is better. But I'm gonna say this James Gunn did great for the hand he was dealt. If you want to show complexity originality and comedy violence look...at Amazon Prime heroes for examples

Critics - I would have loved to see them start more missions rather than fall into them: I feel the intro to how they met was a bit messy and discombobulated and I couldn’t see them as a team or with a deep relationship. Take Dick Grayson and Starfire... they just met, fought a little, showed each other their powers then…had a one-night stand? THIS... I believe this is a factor that only weakened my belief that they have a strong relationship. It was hard to see and act like he cares OR that he cares as... it seemed a bit random. It's like they slept together solely to check off a box based more on impulse. Their relationships simplified from the comics into “Well…they’re supposed to get together so why not now”. Like THAT type of reasoning. Which lead me to my next point. Weak Relationships This was a big flag for me as I felt Directors could have put more emphasis on character development by SLOWLY showing how Robin feels and copes when a stranger but friend a.k.a. Starfire is in danger. I think this technique could have been used to further push these characters together without the audience feeling it’s unrealistic… AND it would be nice to see how Beat boy balances Raven off or challenges her… I mean I see that she struggles to use her powers, but I wish there would be more emphasis on how she is putting in the effort to develop and not panicking all the more to Robin when chaos occurs. I like the introverted Raven. She was not required to go that deep and talk about everything, yet she is the deep character throughout every plot and she does not speak that much but when she does it’s profound… I m want THAT RAVEN. I like the teen-emo Raven but I miss comic book Raven and I feel they can do both. I mean with that Raven when Beastboy pushed her out of her comfort zone, it was MORE of a push and he as a result felt less serious more fun, and he was more compassionate or sensitive to outsiders while I felt with this… instead of letting them naturally come together it’s a bit forced or at least it feels that way…and I feel that she had more with a character arc than one can try to implement here… SHE liked Beastboy even more even when he didn’t realize that by being goofy obnoxious chill and loving that it was helping her. And THAT’S what I want to see…Raven is SO serious but I hope they don’t take that away from her by making her edgier because I believe it will reduce character development and references to the norm in the comics. She was much more sheltered but with Beast boy, I think OVER a period of heartache pain sadness and dumb founded-hope HE was helping and worked all of that out of her with the help of Nightwing. Hence she was grateful and realized how much Raven needed Beast boy.
