More like Gay-rrific.
Its weird that he's gay, I think he has more chemistry with Felicity than Ollie
>>77585252
meh I don't really care that he's gay, I mean it's not like they are pushing it down anyone's throat and he seems like a fine character so far.
Don't know how good his superhero persona will be once he becomes Mr Terrific, but I will give it a chance
>Make him a high pitched panicky gay guy instead of a hard ass Graham Chapman gay guy.
Fucking assholes don't know how Mr. Terrific is suppose to be.
It's funny how gay he is, it's like they're not even trying to give us a nuanced character.
>>77585252
If he was at least bi, he could still be about the fair play.
>make program to work out which employees are shit and which employees deserve a raise
>program determines you should be fired
>this is how we know you're a genius and should be working under the CEO
>>77585252
I don't like this at all.
>>77585448
to be fair, he isn't Michael Holt, he's Curtis Holt. I think his husband/boyfriend is supposed to be Michael
>>77585448
That's my main gripe with gay holt. He's not a badass and I don't want to suffer through another vigilante training arc.
>>77585515
Doesn't matter curtis is still supposed to be mister terrific.
What if they got Jack Donovan to play his nemesis. A gay skinhead who hates him for being a nigger AND a flamer?
>>77585515
>Curtis dies horribly and Michael steals all his gadgets to administer some angry gay black vengeance.
I could get behind that.
>>77585562
dang I was hoping that his husband/boyfriend was going to turn out to become Mr Terrific and that he was Michael Holt, a hard ass and confident business man starting up Holt industries
>>77585582
Does he scream Black Rage?
When did felicity turn gay and black?
>>77585582
That could work nicely, but Michael has never hit me as the angry black guy type, more just a hard ass business man.
It would be interesting to have him kind of have a rivalry with Ollie though, maybe just a constant I blame you for what happened to my husband thing
Not familiar with this character. What can I read to learn more about him?
>>77585411
>"ME AND MY HUZZZZBAND..."
>>77585458
Did you notice that both Flash and Arrow have a wise black man who counsels the hero character?
This is obvious propaganda because the racist stereotype of a black man would be violent, stupid, loud, irrational etc. right? The last guy in the world you'd go to for advice.
So they make those characters the opposite of all of those things.
>>77585458
>>77585742
Oh, and deadbeat dads too. Both of those characters are dads who're very concerned with raising their children.
>>77585701
JSA
>>77585799
There is a deadbeat mom tho.
>>77585821
That is an interesting choice. Black mothers are fairly bulletproof, though. Few people will talk about them negatively.
>>77585252
>>77585362
Yeah I don't like that he's gay but I don't want to throw a hissy fit over either because I'm glad they're using him AT ALL. He's one of my favorite DC super heroes.
But if they wanted a gay character they could of easily, easily fit Midnighter into Arrow and he'd fit PERFECTLY.
>>77585524
That was my exact compliment. Like when he and Felicity got attacked I wanted him to actually pull some bad ass shit to show he's got pontential.
I want Future's End, Kayne Jobs Mr. Terrific too.
Also does anyone else want Curtis to bring back Brother Eye? That's his big thing in DC mythos, him and Bruce creating Brother Eye and fucking everything up. I think it's fitting that the universe destroying monster comes from Felicity here.
>>77585742
>implying the magical negro can't be seen as a racist stereotype
>>77585821
On a side note I thought that was real as fuck. I appreciate that writing. Mom fails too. Joe was just trying to make it without her.
>>77585878
Because a lot of black people are fucking idiots too concerned with race
>>77585701
>>77585943
>>77585952
>>77585960
>>77585878
Oh, it is. And that's the typical back and forth you see right?
>magical negro is reverse racism!
"there's no such thing as reverse racism, shitlord!"
etc.
When this negro techie was introduced you guys may have also noticed that the evil capitalist executive in the meeting was black, then the first woman Felicity speaks to who guilts her is also black.
>>77585967
>>77585980
>>77585991
>>77585915
>too concerned with race
Who brought up his race again?
>>77585999
>>77585670
Someone's going to have to take up that role after Detective Lance dies horribly.

There's a problem with this statement. A learned man can probably point out some kind of fallacy in this situation.
If a person is preoccupied with race and you say
>boy, you sure do talk about race a lot.
And they say: oh yeah? well you noticed i'm talking about race!
I would suggest that attempting to expose politically correct narratives in a TV show makes you the greentext guy, not the black text guy.

It would probably be weird if every single black guy in that universre gave out advice. Two out of tens of millions seems like a low ball
>>77585915
I can garauntee that the first person in this thread to even mention his race wasn't black.
Secondly, making him gay was a terrible choice
>>77586181
>The men turned away and went toward Sodom, but Abraham remained standing before the LORD.
I forgot about this particular bit of this story.
>>77585742
>>77585878
>>77585915
I wouldn't actually mind having some black or at least non-whites as villians or antagonists. Part of the problem is we can barely say anything about race that doesn't fit the current narrative
