    underrated-Ite

    Michael Jai White is an underrated actor who no doubt should have played Luke Cage and still could a Luke Cage in my opinion.

    Black dynamite and so-called black based and karate show that is non-stop fun and immature content. This was one of the greatest shows. It features many known actors doing voice work as well staring MJW the Kung fu master.

    It also features Cedric Yarbrough, know as the infamous DuBois from Boondocks.

    BD is no doubt one of the greatest, action, fighting, adult show of all-time but because its so-called "black" it doesn't get the popularity it deserves.

    Pretty good

    So I just saw this thing. And it was pretty good. The animation is wonderfull and so is the color palette . The plots for for each episode are strange, but creative and different. Characters are stereotypical, but i cant really imagine it working otherwise. The jokes, although aren't very often funny, they still work in theory. It's also important to know that the show doesn't use being black as a punchline. Instead, the blackness of its cast uses as an explanation to all possible questions. This show is not masterpiece, but it's still great and worth watching.

    Underrated cultural touchstone

    The series is written so well with jokes/cultural references firing faster than Black Dynamites machine gun. This is a masterclass in Blacksploitation, taking the genre to its ultimate climax.

    Misogyny Galore

    This would be a laugh out loud and imaginative show were it not for the constant, insulting, degrading treatment of women. Every woman is either "bitch", "ho", or just an old woman and still called a gender insulting name. You wanna curse? Fukkit. Go 'head. You wanna poke fun? Be my guest - but make it even. I'm tired of a small group of slovenly men ruining what good be great for everyone. If it weren't for that, I'd give this show a solid nine, maybe even ten. The puns and word play and twisting of pop culture are outstanding. Take anything from your childhood and watch this show twist it into hilarity. Cherished popstars aren't safe either (nor should they be really). This could be a really great show but as it is you have to turn off a part of your brain (the one that says all genders and sexual orientations are human too and deserve respect). That's really disappointing. And it's certainly not dynamite.

    Not funny

    First off, I LOVE the movie. One of the funniest things ive ever watched. This is terrible though. Boring, rehashed plots (Black Jaws, Black Warriors etc.) The joke is... They're black. They take every popular black joke or pop culture reference, from the history of black comedy and pound it into the ground a million times (Im Rick James B***h (LOLOLOLOL), Everything Richard Pryor ever said, Michael Jackson used to be black LOLOLO). Not funny. Not original.
