The fact that Black Lightning is like "fuck it, he is/was a superhero, you've seen every single origin story, you don't need to get another one right off the bat" is honestly one of my favorite things about it.

They've both got their strengths and weaknesses. Wouldn't want any of them to give up their strengths to embrace another type of show (except Arrow which is terrible).

Basically as long as they're not like the Gifted or Gotham (from where I left off at least), they should be fine.

I'm not about to tell anyone to stick it out through the mess of S1 of Gotham, but it actually wound up pretty fun. It's the sort of show I can just turn my overactive brain off and enjoy.

I've not watched it, but I agree. Why waste time in a pilot showing what your show isn't going to be about every week? Plus it gives the origin a level of mystery that you can follow up on down the line and intertwine better with the rest of the story.

If I had time to slot it in I still would. As it is, I'm already so behind on just about everything and maybe one day if I don't have to work (  ) I'll put it back in.

[Benji]

I wouldn't go out of your way to be honest. I find it fun, but it wouldn't be something I'd recommend. Was just saying it got better.

[Benjamin]

Yeah I just wanted to grumble about having to work

Terry Crews! Toy Story references! More 4th wall breaking!

Well... *looks straight at camera* that's just lazy writing

Well that was...a thing.  Ya, no faith this will be good

I can't get any kind of hyped by a Venom trailer that doesn't show Venom.

Yeah, me too. Then again, maybe it'll make the first time we see it in the cinema even more epic? One thing about trailers these days is that they show too much. It's why Deadpool was such a letdown for me, the trailer showed the best parts of the film.

Thing is it doesn't even have to show Venom.  Show the symbiote slowly covering Brocks arm, or have him say "We are Venom".  

I'm just not confident Sony will do this movie good at all

[Benjamin]

Oh yeah, that's definite. It felt exactly like all their other Spideyverse trailers, and I'm assuming this film will be just like those.

It was climbing his neck at the end.

[apsham]

If you blink and miss the symbiote parts, that just looks like one of those fake trailers that channels make for views using footage from other movies the across have been in.

Oh, and Deadpool writing his name on the bottom of the figures feet like Andy is amazing.

Yeah, maybe, but this is like if the Deadpool trailer never even showed Deadpool, and just had shots of Wade Wilson and the supporting cast.

I'd have preferred him to do it in his Peaky Blinders voice just to really fuck off the people who found Bane unintelligible.

His accent was perfectly normal in Peaky Blinders

I mean...it's a teaser for a movie that doesn't come out for another 8 months and is still filming so I'm not really sure what people expected. You could argue that Sony could have waited longer to release a first trailer but with a big Marvel movie coming out this week it makes sense to let people know it's a thing later this year.
