CW's Black Lightning will end with its fourth season.

Nooo! It's way too soon for that!

And aren't the gearing up for that spin-off, too?

What is the deal with the PS5 scarcity?

Why don't they... make enough lol? Why not just take non-refundable pre-orders ahead of time? This happens every time. Are they artificially keeping supply low like nintendo does?

That is what happens when you do pre-orders.

Go through the Target app. They JUST announced a new set of Marvel Legends with Movie version Miles Morales. He and Gwen are already sold out.

Same with Power Rangers Tommy Green Ranger figure that comes out in two weeks. He's sold out.

Same issue with BIlly & Dreads Zack from Power Rangers.

Even Obama's book has gotten to that level in some places.

Then you go on Ebay-they are at blood money prices.

I'm shocked the Child from Mandarin is not like this. I can waltz anywhere to get his stuff.

CW's Black Lightning will end with its fourth season.

Oh man.....just when it was getting good.

I give applause and credit to CW for letting the show get an ending.

Seems black electric superheroes can't get past sn4...…[Static Shock toon].

Yeah they’re doing a Painkiller spinoff. So at least the BL world will survive in some way.

I'm not looking forward to the really stupid takes about how the show was doomed because they focused on Lynn and the girls as well as Jefferson.

Oh well. A four season show isn't necessarily bad. Hopefully, they can stick the landing.

I'm gonna get a switch first of the year. Couple guys in a neighboring thread was talking it up not long ago and I got littles.

Besides, man these new consoles have 85% games with .50 Cal campaigns and hardcore guy ****. Look, there was a time but I can talk mad **** over Mario Cart. The Co-op where another person is IN THE ROOM seems a thing of the past.

The absence of local co-op is why I don’t buy a lot of racing games anymore.

In fact, Static Shock didn't even reach its 4th Season.

True, though I think it'd be more effective if the original show was still running so the two can better bounce off each other.

Plus, I just feel the Black Lightning series ending now is too soon.

Static was not a rating issue. Only Digimon had higher ratings.

Static was never cancelled. It did not have the funding for another season. Same issue with Cartoon Network's He-Man series.

They need toy sales to keep them on the air.

NOBODY wanted to do Static toys. Milestone had been trying since 1994 for toys and yes there were sketches of those figures including Kobalt made. Along with an Icon protype that was seen in an unsold ABC pilot in 1995.

Nobody thought a black toy line could sale. Let alone black figures.

Yet go down the toy isle and see HOW MANY obscure guys at Marvel & DC with figures. Rock Python can get a figure that is SOLD at Wal-Mart. Static has yet to have reach Wal-Mart.

This. Considering, several variables, that's not nothing at all. I'm wild behind on it but they said what they wanted to say and were pretty raw about it always. Salute, from me and M.A.N.T.I.S. on FOX.

Whining about white people not being able to use ethnic hair styles on their Animal Crossing make believe people is just... come on. This is worth "activists" time and stress? Animal Crossing afro puffs??

Carl Weathers directed the most recent episode of The Mandalorian. Glad he let the gray back into his face as opposed to the Season 1 appearance with all the Dark and natural on his face.

According to reports, the next Predator movie could be set in the past and see pre-colonial era First Nations people fighting the Yautja.

Little battles like these are fought all the time. These folks always believe that they're just one victory away from winning the culture war forever. Except it never ends. It's always something. If it's not afro puffs, it's a girl's prom dress, or it's Mario in a Sombrero, or how women's body armor is shaped. Sometimes they just pit I.P. against each other. Captain Marvel vs Alita Battle Angel, Ghost of Tsuchima vs The Last of Us 2, Birds of Prey vs. Sonic the Hedgehog (that one was weird) Like I said before, these people are terminally online and eternally bored, they don't have much going on outside of what they consume.

Some people on social media have too much time on their hands.

And seriously, some people should stop appointing themselves as "cultural gatekeepers".

It obscures people's legitimate complaints.
