So, is Black Dynamite action or comedy?

http://www.aoltv.com/2011/07/20/exclusive-first-look-adult-swim-b
lack-dynamite/


 

Looks a bit too nice to be comedy.  Not to mention the animation looks like Madhouse's work.

This Saturday night, it's a heavyweight collision! Newly crowned UFC Heavyweight Champion Junior Dos Santos, fresh off of his 1st round knockout victory over Cain Velasquez on Fox, returns to the Octagon to battle submission specialist Frank Mir in an all heavyweight card! Cain attempts to bounce back from his devastating loss against Brazilian wrecking machine Antonio "Bigfoot" Silva! Plus, Jason "Mayhem" Miller returns on the FX Prelim show to battle CB Dolloway! The action starts 8pm on FX and 10pm on PPV! I mean, what the hell else would you watch?

Since you can't go two posts without bashing something, I'mma go with comedy, so you don't have to spend any time at all anywhere near here. :smileyhappy:

Comedy, like Boondocks.
I don't know what's real from the noise, the noise.
I can't hear a thing for the noise, the noise.
I wouldn't do anything, the thunder that throws me away.
I wouldn't do anything, there's something that keeps me away.
I wouldn't do anything, something that begs me to stay.
I wouldn't do anything, something that throws me away.

If it's going to be anything like the movie (which I highly recommend), then it's gonna be a comedy.

Comedy. It isn't anime.

As night falls upon the city, a fear grips its citizens. With the death of their hero comes the return of an old nightmare. He moves in the shadows and controls the minds of those around him leaving chaos in his wake. The inevitable return of pestilence is upon you. His return signals the begining of the end for you. Do not stand in his way, he has no sense of mercy and will destroy those who get in his way. No one is safe.

It's definitely a comedy block thing. Maybe a later half of the block, when people are settling in for the long haul.

Yeah, that's definitely gonna be a comedy, though I would be kinda surprised if, like The Boondocks, it doesn't have some pretty good action scenes too.

So GI Joe is comedy solely because it's American?  :smileyindifferent:

It is more like a Boondocks style spoof of 70's movies like Dolemite.
Definitely not an "action" show, but I wouldn't be surprised to see it
show up on Saturday night paired with Boondocks.

Comedy, since all [adult swim] originals get that distinction, even if there is a large amount of action in them. I'm willing to bet there will be a lot of humor in the show too, though.

It's nice to know that you have to figure out whether Black Dynamite is action or comedy based on how nice it looks and who did the animation.

I wish we could all be so superficial.

Much like two of the block's best shows (Venture Brothers & The Boondocks), it's both and would be at home on any night.

In fact, I'd like to see [as] cut a few of the Seth shows out so that we could get a night of ATHF-Venture Brothers-Black Dynamite-The Boondocks...That would be an amazing night of programming!

I'd go with action comedy, but it would probably be classified as a comedy.

It's a comedy AND an action/adventure.... Same as Boondocks.... It can be both you know. There is a such thing as having more than one genre -_-. Primary genre, I believe, is comedy though.
