LOOKS PRETTY DAMN NICE

I'm suddenly kind of excited for it.

Also: there'll be a comic book in the future. But look at this! Coming to the network in the future, too!

Black whatamite? The title sounds familiar for some reason.

[funky_branca]

Black Dynamite.
The film came out last year, it was kind of either a parody of old 70's blaxploitation films.

AS is getting the new animated series next year, from some of the Boondocks team.

His nipples look really weird.

[mogar]

looks like it could be real good

[Buddyroe360]

.Hahaaaa.........Been waiting on this, and it looks awesome.

"I threw that shit before I walked in the room"......Classic.

[BonGrips]

looks interesting, almost like it might appease some action fans

[The-Big-Steamy-Thing]

Who cares about appeasing Action fans?

[FieryDoom]

pft, like animu fans can be appeased by anything. just you watch, they'll come in here and whine about the lack of fan service or some other random bull.

[The-Big-Steamy-Thing]

Shoot, they can't even be bothered to do their own research. (How long does it take to look up something on Google or Wikipedia?)

[somedude248]

Wow, look at those images.

See? This is what an action cartoon should look like! This is what an action toon for adults should feel like! No dumbass middle schoolers with boxes, just some great art and kung fu awesome with hotness on the side.

[FieryDoom]

cocks in a box?

but that takes time away from cheeto munching.

[The-Big-Steamy-Thing]

And a +1 is a +1, no matter how well- or ill-informed.

[somedude248]

Nah, the boxes are transparent. And the show is for 7 year olds

Man, remember when it was a running gag that Coast 2 Coast used no new animation. Things have changes.

[Xelrog_T_Apocalypse]

Doesn't look like action to me. At least not any more than the Boondocks. Just looks like more hopelessly racist blaxploitation that I won't be watching. Like The Boondocks. Freaknik was fresh and fun the first time, but I wouldn't pay for it.

[FieryDoom]

and that's why you're a racist.

[somedude248]

You didn't see the movie. It's an action/comedy.

You know how Boondocks was 40/60 action comedy? This is 60/40.

It also doesn't retread a past series and is for adults.

[Xelrog_T_Apocalypse]

Since when is it a racist to not watch something because it's racist? If anything, that's istist.

[FieryDoom]

racist isn't a word that even applies to any of this, yet you went all, "this is hoplessly racist blaxploitation, blah blah blah."

like, seriously? What's remotely racist about the boondocks?

[GodspreadThin]

I'll watch it, but you knew that when you met me.

[Xelrog_T_Apocalypse]

If you can't see what's racist about The Boondocks then absolutely no amount of my trying to explain it to you will have any effect whatsoever.

Let's not turn this into an "is it racist?" thread like every other Boondocks/Freaknik thread that's ever been started. The answer is yes. But that doesn't mean it can't be funny. I found it funny for the first couple of episodes, then lost interest.

I see future precursor to the anime lineup in this! But [as] should also show the live-action movie one night on Friday night. I'm not normally a fan of live action on [as], but if there's a cartoon tie-in, it's not too bad...

*remembers the room*

Wait...WHAT AM i SAYING!?!? But then again, that was a side-project of a live action spinoff of an animated series, poorly animated though it was!

I can see this happening, too. Then again, they replaced The Boondocks with American Dad even though it was doing extremely well in that 11:30 Saturday slot, so I really can't say what [as] might plan to do with it.

[FieryDoom]

ok. cartoon depicting typical black stereotypes = racist. gotcha.
