Why Black Lightning?

First I want to say that I've always liked Black Lightning(BL). However I question why Grandon believed that this story arc should go to him. Why not one of the younger members like Kaldur or Static, or Wonder girl? Imagine Kaldur becoming leader of the JL and suddenly, mistakenly killing a 14 year girl by mistake. And after his actions undercover last season he would have to prove something to himself and everyone else. Or using Static since he and BL have similar powers and showing a 17 year old going through something that heavy.

I say this because BL is not, nor has been, a member of the Young Justice "Team" and this show should center around the team. And his character arc this season could have been given to a younger member. While I like the story so far, it certainly seemed a bit off to have Jefferson on a squad with Dick, Artemis, and Conner.

What did you all think?

Theory on Thor’s Arc in Avengers Infinity War

After hearing how the Russo brothers mentioned that Thor is to have an important arc in the Infinity War storyline and how they are going in a different direction of Thor's characterization from what was established in Ragnarok, I began to speculate on what Thor’s role will be.

When the Guardians come across Thor there looks to be destruction everywhere, which leads me to believe that Thanos destroys the Asgardian refugee ship and everyone on it, Valkyrie, Korg and Heimdall included. Thor only survived the depths of space due to his powers. 

I believe that when Gamora is talking about Thanos and that with the Infinity stones he could destroy half the universe with a snap of his fingers she is telling this information to Thor. Thor realizing that if the stones and the gauntlet are powerful enough to take out half of the universe, then they should also be able to bring his people back to life and recreate his homeworld Asgard.

As such, Thor’s mission is revenge on Thanos for killing the remnant of his people as well as literally cutting the infinity gauntlet from Thanos’ arm with his new axe-like weapon, Stormbreaker. Then Thor would use the Gauntlet himself to recreate his home, friends, people, and maybe his eye since some promotional materials depict him having both eyes with an Anakin Skywalker-like scar over his right eye. However, this plan will go awry. 

Even though Thor is able to recreate Asgard and possibly restore the universe’s population if Thanos does wipe out half of it, he will not be able to fully control the stones and something in this new reality will be warped or another danger is created, leading into Avengers 4.

This theory just came to me and I had not heard anyone else mention it (if this theory is already out there then I apologize in advance). I think that it is plausible enough to be Thor’s role and mission in the film. I would like to hear everyone else’s opinion.

Thanks for reading and God Bless.

Extremely Unpopular Opinions

Unlike most Black Sails fans, I really like Woodes Rogers. I feel bad for him because the guy has just been doing his job. And the pirates and his wife have messed everything up for him. I don’t even blame him for Eleanor’s death. I think Rogers is going to end up in debtors prison, but I hope he survives this series.

In addition, I have been very disappointed in the direction that the writers have chosen for most of the pirates’ story arcs this season. I don’t know what they were thinking, but the pirates have put on a very pathetic performance this season. Flint, Silver, Billy, Jack, Anne, and Max have all just gotten on my nerves with their stupidity (Anne, less so than the others). I don’t see them winning this season, nor do I believe they deserve to.

That being said, I hope that the Maroon Queen and her people and the other former slaves all survive and thrive in Nassau somehow. They deserve a win and to not be dragged down by their pirate partners.

Lastly, I wish that the writers would have at least tried to make Black Sails fit as a true prequel to Treasure Island. It seems like they got so caught up in their own thing that they disregarded aspects of the book. It probably would have been better if instead of using characters from Treasure Island, like Flint, Silver, Billy, etc..., the writers could have used their own original characters in the show. Then they could have fully told the story that they wanted to tell without the burden of making the show and the book fit together.

Eleanor’s Bad Deal

After watching Black Sails episode 4X06, I realized that the deal that Eleanor and Flint made was doomed from the start. 

Eleanor wanted the cache in exchange for giving the pirates control of Nassau. That might have worked if not for the other player that everyone, both in the show and the audience, had forgotten about, the Maroon Queen. 

At the end of the episode, the Maroon Queen told Flint that she was not going to allow Kofi to leave with the cache since other pirates and maroons had come to her island to help in the revolution to take back Nassau.

Therefore, Eleanor and Flint’s plan never would have worked out as Eleanor would have never received the cache. It might have been better for Eleanor to have let Woodes Rogers attack the pirates with the Man of War when he had planned to. I thought that it was interesting that the show decided to add the Maroon Queen’s decision into the narrative, showing that Eleanor was never going to get the peace she tried to bargain for.

Sansa Stark is stronger than most give her credit for....

We as the audience knew that Sansa and Ramsay were going to be married from practically the beginning of the season and Sansa knew it too. She knew she would be married to this sadistic evil person whose family was responsible for the deaths of her mother and brother. She knew all of this and still went ahead and married Ramsay in order to pave the way of getting Winterfell back and ousting the Boltons. 

Sansa isn’t stupid, the consumation of their marriage was something that Sansa knew was going to happen, as Ramsay is not Tyrion who respected Sansa and did not sleep with her. Ramsay respects no one and enjoys causing pain and suffering to others; she knew it wasn’t going to be gentle lovemaking as that would go against the sadistic character that Ramsay posseses. Sansa sees this entire marriage, and the sex that goes with it, as a necessary evil that she must go through in order to get back her home. THAT IS A SACRIFICE, one with a high price, but what sacrifice isn’t. And only STRONG people can go through sacrifices and pain in order to achieve their goals.

What I hope to see in the coming episodes is that through Sansa’s sacrifice the North will remember and will rise up behind her and they will defeat the Boltons and Sansa will be restored to her rightful place as Warden of the North.

Shawn does not exist solely for Maya!!!

I have been coming across posts and opinions that say that “Shawn doesn’t have to be with Katy to be a father figure to Maya”. And that is true.

But I don’t think that Shawn is here to just be Maya’s father figure. He is on this show to find what he has been looking for for years, a family like Cory’s. At some point during their relationship (I believe this was after the show ended and they had already moved to New York because not even Cory seems to know why Angela left Shawn) Angela left for good and Shawn has been alone. He wants to fill that void in his life, and he probably needs to move on from Angela.

And yes, Maya wants Shawn to be with her mother but its not just so that he can be her new father, but so that her mother won’t be lonely either. Maya, Shawn, and Katy have self-described themselves as the “ones who get left”, I think that the relationship between Shawn and Katy will be one where all three of these lonely people can come together and be happy with each other, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Shawn and Angela have always been the “not Cory and Topanga” relationship, in that they were the more general relationship where the person who you were with in highschool and/or college is not always the person you end up marrying, whereas Cory and Topanga were the ideal highschool sweethearts who got married young and stayed together forever.

Anyway, its time for Shawn to have something “different” in his life and move on, and that could include both Maya and Katy which could give him love and family.

Thank you for speaking the TRUTH!!!!!!  I don’t understand how anyone could misinterpret this.

“Joss Whedon is so sexiest! I cannot believe he had Natasha say she’s a monster just because she can’t have children. That is so messed up!”

Whoa! Calm down, everyone! That’s not what Nat was saying. AT ALL. She didn’t say she was a monster simply because she can’t have children. She said she was a monster because she gave up being able to have children so that she could be a better killer. It’s the killing that, in her opinion, made her a monster, not the being unable to have children.

[skye4376]

Thank you, my thoughts exactly

*sarcastic voice* Oh yeah In Age of Ultron when Black Widow says she’s a monster OF COURSE she’s referring to the not-in-any-way-monstrous fact that she infertile she is DEFINITELY not talking about how she was forced to become a lethal assassin with no compassion or emotions IT WOULD BE RIDICULOUS to even SUGGEST that that’s what she meant. Didn’t you know? Infertile women are monsters, not assassins … yes we really interpreted this correctly how dare you Joss Whedon bad man bad man.

Hook Deserves This!!!!!!!!!!1

I have been reading some recent posts about how "Rumple should leave Hook alone", but I think that we should all remember that Rumple did not go to Hook, it was Hook who first came to Rumple, blackmailing him.

That decision in itself was inherently stupid. I mean to try and play around with the most powerful sorcerer in the land who is known  as the "Dark One" knowing that the two of you cannot stand each other. And all Rumple did was show Hook his true colors. And its about time someone did. The whole "puppy dog" thing was getting on my nerves as well.

So in essence, it was Hook who caused himself to be put into this foolish predicament. And its good for him. Maybe it will teach him a lesson about messing with people.

Just beautiful. He taught her so much.

Did he know that she didn't want to marry him? Most 18 year old girls in that time period would have loved to marry a king (regardless of his age) and become the queen of an entire kingdom.

I love that Leopold went from wanting a marriage based on love to marrying the 18 year old daughter of his ex-fiancée against her will.

He’s really supposed to be a kind and fair man?
