Why does he completely dab on miles in terms of popularity and likeability?
>>151791851not sloppy seconds
>>151791851>popularityWho has a theatrical movie?
>>151791851he took an existing black hero archetype (cocky lightning guy) instead of co-opting a white one
I appreciate how they weren't afraid to show that people often grew up in shitty situations. Then suddenly all the troubled youth in a city get superpowers and start wrecking shit. Damn shame they cut the series short.
>>151791851Yellow/Purple just looks better
>>151791851Miles is definitely more popular for having theatrical movies and a cartoon. Also you like Static better because he was part of your childhood, before you took the redpill
>>151792115My favorite episode
>>151791851Because he was a black character created by a black man to say something meaningful about the young black urban experience instead of a black character created by a white man to assuage his own white guilt (and also capitalize on Childish Gambino wanting to play Spider-Man because performative white guilt only benefits the white person)
>>151792115This show was basically Captain Planet done right.
>>151793658>whitethere's a reason kitty is his waifu
OH SHIT HE'S GOT A GUN!
>>151791851I never realised the spiderverse movie miles stole his logo/smybol design. It's just a spider/lightning inside a circle. I genuinely thought it was an orignal take despite all the "doing my thing" bullshit I never bought
>>151792000Why are there so many black lightning characters?
>Miles has so little presence that an after school PSA cartoon character dabs on himSad!
>>151791851He doesn't, most people like Static more because they were introduced to him in the cartoon. However both characters kinda sucked into they got adapted into animation.
>>151796318Archetype popularised by Black Lightning. Rights issues at the time meant that adaptations had to create clone characters of him like Black Vulcan, resulting in a proliferation of black electric-themed copycats that snowballed into becoming a popular visuals-powerset combo.
>>151793795Well he is a jew
>>151791851he was cool and didn't steal someone else's life
>>151795228>A spider inside a circle is plagiarizing an S shaped lighting bolt in a circleThat's a stretch
>>151791851He did not, few zoomers will know what a static shock is
>>151796664Cope. It may as well be a complete copy paste with the oversized logo and circle boundaries.
>>151791851Because nobody read the original comic. Which is funny as Miles' was more accepted in his debut.
>>151791851>popularityNot even close and as overstated in this thread, you like Static because you saw him as a kid in a cartoon. He showed up now you complain the same way they complain about cyborg and Miles. Or how people swear Monica is better than Carol. It's always the character not getting pushed that "totally would have been better and actually deserves it".
>>151791851He lost the Death Battle, your hero is a weak faggot and that is all that matters.
