THE FLIRTATION WAS TOO STRONG!!!: Reading between the lines
“You waiting for me?”
did you miss me?
“No.”
no (yes, but i won’t say i did)
[hesitant disappointment. trying to find the words.]
(i’m hurt. have i lost you?)
“I bet he told you I was dead”
I know he’s trying to separate us
“Diamondback got to you, didn’t he?”
Did it work? Are you with him now? Do you love him?
“No he didn’t it.”
No! That’s not what I said! I missed you okay!
WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS TO ME ON THIS FINE THURSDAY MORNING?
OKAY OKAY OKAY LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT THIS SCENE!
I thought the first time I watched that part with Shades in the elevator that Diamondback was going to kill him. I kept thinking even after he killed Zip that he wouldn’t make it out of that episode alive.
AND THEN THE FIRST THING HE DOES IS HE GOES TO MARIAH!
Why? Because he trusts her. I and after he that I was like “fucking hell he might actually have a chance” because I knew Mariah would help him and take care of him.
And when he gives her the bottle he was putting his life in her hands.That’s how I knew they were ride or die right there! And my villain-loving shipper heart was like:
S1 Is drudgery bc the titular character is made of corn and outdaded respectability politics one-liners. But I watch for the otp, #ShadyMariah and for Diamondback and Cottonmouth.
But drudgery binging demands breaks.
Black Lightning is way better when it comes to the titular character. You can tell he actually cares.
And I feel like I could go on a whole rant on what’s wrong with Luke Cage (show and character). I love the show, and it’s great, but it’s got some problems.
Yeah I think the music esp in s1 covered a lot of them up in addition to some Stella performances from supporting staff (villains), but the main cast of characters were written badly semi regularly.
I spend most of my time for scenes with [character] during S1 glancing at my phone tbqh
I really love the way they did this scene. His black suit, her white dress, how the lighting outlines both of them, way all the dialogue echoed through the building…
