Boy...I HATE LIQOURICE!
>>154355850>BoyWhat did he mean by this?
I always wondered what they were drinking.
>>154355944Looks like lemonade
>>154355850I aldo hate liquorice i prefer mint.
>>154355944did you not think it was just lemonade, the most common yellow drink ever?
>>154355944Probably lemonade, it's by far the least-weirdest thing going on with the dinner in the image.
>>154355938You know what he mean.
>>154355944>>154355976Eggs, lettuce, toast, and whatever that weird green paste on Virgil's plate is. Are they vegetarian or something?
>>154356355Onions green
>>154356355They're ain't havin' LIIQOURICE that's for sure!!
>>154356355looks like peas
>>154355974It's opaque.
>Yellow opaque liquid>Eggs>Bread, not toast, just slices of bread,>Lettuce>Mashed up peas?It's night outside so this isn't even breakfast.
>>154356437if that's your criteria for drink identification what do you think the glasses are? they're opaque to everything around them EXCEPT for the liquid they contain. does that mean the yellow isn't actually the contained liquid, but a block of yellow colouring on the sides of the opaque glasses?No, of fucking course not, you fucking moron. They simply didn't render the glass and liquid opaque. It's not supposed to be a literal representation. Do you honestly have THAT much of an issue with such a surface-level visual abstraction? It's fucking lemonade in a clear glass.
>>154356514>They simply didn't render the glass and liquid opaquewhoops, translucent*
>>154356355This is sounding more like brunch than dinner
>>154356504>Eggs>pluralThey got one egg each. I'd probably say something racist, too, after a dinner like that.
>>154356514>does that mean the yellow isn't actually the contained liquid, but a block of yellow colouring on the sides of the opaque glasses?Good point, it must be a design on the outside of the glass.
Maybe it's yellow-colored water
Was it a valid crash out since his son ended up being a slut for BBC in the end?Or was it a result of his daddy issues which got projected into a fetish?
>>154356596We call that lemonade, Anon.
>>154356684Bad experiences
>>154356700Maybe YOU do, lmao
>>154356355>vegan propagandeand people say old cartoons were better
>>154356719anon, vegetarian and vegan are two different things. The meal in OP's image is not vegan.
>>154356824Change the lemonade to grape Kool Aid
>>154355850Why do blacks constantly cry about whites not liking them? They hang around like a bad smell
>>154355850it's a beautiful day yay
>>154356824The communal bread plate still doesn't make sense.
>>154356824>>154356885and the toast to waffles
>>154355850didn't that kid get involved in a gang fight at a chemical storage facility? Maybe dad is right.
>>154356916More like why do they pretend that they themselves are not much more flagrantly racist than the average white?
bebebebebebebebebebebebebe
>>154356824Make the dad smile
>>154355944It's milk, they say it in the scene.
>>154355850Same here. Never saw the appeal of it.
BOY! How'd you manage to swing that BOY! Peggy? We like mowers!
>>154355850>dinner at white friend’s house>family serves you mashed peas and a single egg No wonder the dude was in a bad mood. Imagine living off that spiceless slop.
>>154355850His proportions seem way off.
>>154355850He’s not mad about Vergil, he’s mad that the wife made slop for dinner every night for the past decade but decided it would be easier to just pretend to be slightly racist.
>>154357826It's a "don't fucking come back" meal: the meal that's served to people the paterfamilias doesn't want to see in his house again. This meal serves three purposes: 1) limits Static's time in the house as said house now feels unwelcome 2) serves as a reminder/warning for Ritchie not to bring Static back3) food was still served so the family has plausible deniability
>>154355850Is liquorice really that bad? I don't think they sell it in my country.
>>154359990it's one of those things where depending if you have some random gene or not, it can taste great or terrible.
>>154359990I love licorice, but it's not for everyone.
>>154355974who the fuck drinks lemonade at dinner?>>154355961wintergreen is good, peppermint is gross.>>154356355richie and his mom definitely come off as people who need more protein
>>154356514>>154356524It was a pretty cheaply-drawn showI just recently rewatched it. good shit, but not up to the DCAU standard. Glad it got an ending, but it felt rushed.It is really funny how after they introduced Gear, they had to sweep him out of the way for any team-up episode, with another superhero, either from the League or Anansi or I Can't Believe it's Not Black Lightning. Except the first full-league teamup, where instead they swept the LEAGUE out of the way.
>>154356824>I'm meeting him halfway, Maggie!
>>154357027He was there to tell the gangster he's declining his offerVirgil is kind of hilarious. He's the nicest, meekest kid because he has a TOUGH dad, and because gangs killed his mom. If his mom had lived, he'd definitely be more of a Will Smith, just committing petty crimes and sleeping around.
>>154359990If you get one of those bags of like 30-flavor jellybeans, the black ones are licorice. they're not bad, but you would not wanna eat a whole bag of them. It's like a palate cleanser
What do you think is the goofiest thing Virgil ever did with his powers?I'm torn between "made a phone keypad out of lightning so he could dial into the phone network wirelessly" and "forced an electric razor that wouldn't hold a charge to... hold a charge
>>154360978>who the fuck drinks lemonade at dinner?...tons of people? that's a very normal drink>>154361096>but you would not wanna eat a whole bag of them.fuck you, i would
>>154361282I mean maybe in europe where 'lemonade' means approximately Spritebut here in america it means incredibly harsh, tooth-softening lemon juice and sugar mixed together without any flavoring. It's like trying to drink crushed up vitamin powder. You have it on REALLY hot days and you hope they watered it down a bit extra.and I can't throw stones, I've become addicted to hot tamales.
seriously though I liked how this episode handled things. They made the dad sympathetic, they showed he works hard, and he does live in an INCREDIBLY crime-riddled city (random superheroing after school would not do the trick otherwise).They made Virgil reasonable, trying his best to brush it off and assume it's more of a culture thing than raceThey made Richie unreasonably belligerent about it, showing that you can't just lose your shit at your dad and run away for some words, or that's bad for everyoneAnd it all resolved nicely due to the influence of the nicest, most classy black man in the entire city. Virgil's dad fuckin ruled. When he got kidnapped, we all FELT it.
>>154361331>I mean maybe in europe where 'lemonade' means approximately Spriteabsolutely no one was talking about that, nor is sprite yellow.>lemon juice and sugar mixed together without any flavoring?????anon the lemon and sugar IS the flavour. what the fuck is wrong with your taste buds
>>154356700>>154356596Ahhh I remember leaving over to my black friend's house as a kid and drinking unflavored Kool aid water. Those were the days.
>>154361593>this isnt european lemonadehence my saying 'unless maybe'. I mean you're using british spelling here, so maybe you got confused>lemon and sugar are flavorthat's like saying screaming is words. yeah it kind of is, I guess. I'm sure "AAHHH!" is in some dictionary, but..Sugar needs to be cooked to have a flavor, it needs to split into glucose and fructose. before that it's just THUNK. Sucrose. Whee. and lemon is a harsh one-note thing meant to be used as a subtle 'twist' in a larger item. Drinking lemon and sugar is like having a nice bowl of pepper and salt.
>>154361678oknodudethere is something wrong with your sense of tastewhat you're describing is not normal
>>154361678you are reminding me of this (not a good thing for you)
>>154361713I feel like yours might be stuck in like the 19th century or something. Back when suitable flavors for candy included fucking anise and rosewater.guys back me up. lemonade is gross, right? You gotta at least really really water it down to make it palatable.It doesn't have the pleasant taste of lemon curd or lemon candy or even lemon soda.
>>154361753This is just natural depending where you're from, as few of your veg will have any flavor due to mishandling, force-ripening, and extremely poor jobs cooking it.Most of my life i had no idea mushrooms could have any flavor, or raw tomatoes. because I never had the right ones, prepared the right way.this guy is definitely fucked regarding the onions though, I think he may actually have a missing sense or something because that's.. like your EYES feel onions, yknow. onions are a basic unit of flavor.
>>154361756No, anon. Lemonade is good.
>>154361756You can put a clown's pink crotch and ass sweat infused tights into it to turn it pink.
>>154361756No, you are definitely the outlier here.
>>154361756Is this bait?
>>154357228Mr. Hawkins, please.
>>154361756>guys back me up. lemonade is gross, right?
dear journal, today I learned /co/ likes fucking plain-ass, sold-by-some-kids-on-the-sidewalk lemonadeno accounting for taste. I'll stick with OJ
>>154361887Yeah, this is bait
>>154361948what, next youre gonna tell me nobody likes orange juice? just me and Taz's dad?
>>154361887>not indulging the kids just trying to make a quarter selling you some freshly squeezed lemonadeI bet you don't put your shopping cart in the return area.
>>154361887There's nothing wrong with lemonade.
>>154356824>>154356885>>154356986>>154357283
>>154362419Anon, you absolute rapscallionof course I buy a cup. sometimes two. They're kids and I respect the hell out of any startup capitalist ventureI'm just saying it's gross. Actually, once in a while they're selling something more like.. what is it.. it's not gatorade but it's kind of mediciney, reminds one of Listerine. You know the yellow beverage I'm talking about, right? in any case sometimes it's that, then i actually do kind of like it, though it's not as refreshing.>>154362638his kitty smile is wonderful. This is turning into such a nice dinner.Man speaking of artificial grape flavor, i used to wonder wtf it was supposed to be. til finally I left some grape juice in the fridge too long, sipping it here and there but continuously exposing it to air each time, and eventually.. the volatile flavor compounds exit, leaving you with something that tastes very much like grape soda / popsicles / candy. Fascinating.
>>154361756Lemonade tastes great. It's sour without sugar but I don't think that's what you mean. You might be allergic.
>>154359725Do white people really do this?
>>154355850is this cartoon the reason black people always have to have electric powers?
>>154363146How do you stand being this young? it's incredible to me.. just unnerving.
>>154355850What in the goddamn did McDuffie think white people eat?>Bowl of leaves or green tickets>Weird green slime that's probably the leaves>Tiny bread slices or crackers (hueh)>Glass of Piss>Eggs(?)
>>154363318>Listen up here y'all biscuitheads>Ah wanna slice'a dry toast n' two scrambled eggs>Orda hashbrowns make em x-tra crisp>Glass'a awnge juice anna bowla CHEEEESE grits!
>>154363318Static Shock was running on a budget of three bucks and a sandwich. They didn't have time for the details.
>>154365137it's funny hearing McDuffie saying the network treated them right, so he felt obligated to do dumb shit like the basketball superheroes in power armor.I guess they treated them well because it was cheap and a good place to dump PSAs.
>>154365381It's honestly sad to see because the DCAU was always so well accommodated for. Static Shock was a legitimately popular series with surprisingly far-reaching international appeal and they just refused to give it the budget of the rest of the DCAU.
>>154365746at least it wasn't Zeta Project. good fucking lord what even was that
