I am a huge fan of the Black Dynamite film. It was a near-flawless spoof of the blaxploitation films from the 70's and it stands as one of the funniest movies I've ever seen. Needless to say, I was hella excited when early announcements of an animated series were made. When early images and clips were released, I was totally on board with the anime style similar to Boondocks.
A friend and I awaited the premiere with great anticipation, but about 5 minutes in, we both realized that we were being underwhelmed.
Sure, it had some great one liners, but the Michael Jackson storyline seemed a bit staid. With the exception of a scene demonstrating MJ's birth (the only moment that made me laugh in hysterics), the subject is just too tired to result in anything fresh. Disappointing premiere but I have more than enough faith in the team to improve with further episodes.
How about you?
