Black Dynamite

It's a crime that no-one has written a review for the animated series!

Keeping it simple - if you enjoyed the live action film of Black Dynamite and found it amusing then you'll love the animated series. A lot of the cast return to give their voices to the characters that were created in the film.

With animation you have the freedom to do anything and the creators use this freedom so well! I'm only 4 episodes in but so far the takes on real life celebrities of the 70's (Michael Jackson, Richard Pryor, O J Simpson) is absolutely hilarious. Incorporating such icons into a manic mickey taking episode is fantastic. The writers are on fire for the gags and stories so far.

If you enjoyed and laughed your ass off at Black Dynamite the movie, you'll do exactly the same with the animated series. It's adult humour all the way.

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.

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.

One of my favorite shows on the Adult Swim Lineup; the series has some of the best animation (which I believe compliments the 70's style era very well) and hilarious dialog (again, with that 70's flavor. Can you dig it?).

I'll have to rent the live action movie one of these days but I enjoy re-watching the season one episodes. I'm very excited that the series has been renewed for a second season! Its epic, all of it is epic; Michael Jai White is EPIC!

My top 3 Adult Swim shows: 1. Black Dynamite 2. Venture Brothers 3. China Illinois

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.
