BM/WW IR sightings on TV

I totally forgot about portions of this NYE scene. I just found the gif on a tumblr fanpage so I had to go back and watch this episode again to remember it more vividly. But that was a mistake because now I've been up re-watching the series. lol.

You know what and people including I would agree on the very little time there was... but context matters. Even though you are right there wasn't a lengthy time dedicated to it I'm pretty sure you are understating those numbers. And how much of it was a part of Nell's story arch. https://tvline.com/2018/12/04/the-haunting-of-hill-house-nell-arthur-love-story-screen-time-netflix/


But As the fanbase of Hill House online under the hashtag and the creator taking notice of how much it resonated with audiences with only around 15 minutes. It was a memorable part of Haunting On Hill House. People still talk about them. So what your searching for is subjective and different from not only audience reaction but Nell's actual story arch.

And again you said 'heterosexual black men in romantic lights'. Arthur was Nell's romantic light. If it was actually under six minutes and three scenes then I would agree with you but as someone that remembers the episode and the scenes it wasn't the case and it played out over the entire episode:

But if about 15 minutes and around 6 scenes can get you guys to throw this away my goodness! I'm glad not everybody with ya'll. lol.

I remember talking about how great this was. It was somewhere on this forum back when this first came out. I think the big thing about it is she was like an actual damsel in distress and he came through like Prince Charming and I don’t remember seeing it done or at least done so well with a black man and white woman couple.

Just their Original Content:
Let It Snow, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, The Innocents, CandyJar, Little Boxes, Set it up, IO, Slasher, Bird Box, Samantha!, Haunting Of Hill House, Someone Great

and those are just the ones I have seen and can remember. And the IR ones as well. I get what you're trying to say but Netflix does have a better track record at having content with black male love interest than other streaming and network shows. I trust Netflix more than I trust any of the others.

I get what he's saying as well. I stopped watching "End of The World" on Netflix because the Black guy in it is gay. As soon as he said it I turned it off.

Character development and storytelling.

And you forgot one thing... there was no love triangle! lol.
 
V Wars | Official Trailer | Netflix


As I indicated before when posting this in upcoming IR Slate the vampire Michael Fayne has intimate encounters with females before and after he turned in the comics and they added those into the show.

Snapshot 2 (11-19-2019 3-38 PM).png Snapshot 3 (11-19-2019 3-38 PM).png

The actress playing the second female looks familiar. I think it's Kimberly Sue Murray who plays Danika who is a seductive vampire herself.

The novel is very graphic and with this being on Netflix hopefully they can be as creative and free with this, because I really enjoyed vol. 1 of the comic book novel I read over the summer.

Watched the fall finale of The Good Place earlier and this is turning into a sweet romantic comedy of Eleanor and Chidi. They could possibly have the best IR(bm/ww) love story on TV right now.

No spoilers, just a capture.

The show does an amazing job of finding ways to make their relationship deeper and more profound. This relationship was a conventional slow burn but if you go back to the first season you’ll see all the character elements they’re using in season 4. From a writing standpoint (acting as well), I’m not sure I’ve seen it done better.

Which is big for IR progression on TV(at least) and goes to show it's all about finding your audience when you have romantic material involving bm and ww.

And more importantly... No Love Triangle! lol.

Though Arrow is coming to an end soon, the legacy of Oliver Queen will continue through his adult daughter from the future, Mia -- who has come to the past with her half-brother William and possible love interest Connor Hawke, the adopted son of John Diggle.

However, complicating that potential romance is the presence of Connor's evil brother, John "JJ" Diggle Jr., the leader of the Deathstroke Gang whom Mia had some romantic intrigue with in the Season 8 premiere before he revealed his true identity. According to Mia's actor Katherine McNamara, the series will continue to tease the love triangle between the three.

While speaking with Entertainment Weekly, McNamara was asked if future episodes would explore the love triangle, and what was going with it.

"Let me put it this way: The Queen family and the Diggle family are always connected," she answered. "We’ve seen the bromance with Oliver and John, and there’s definitely something going on with Mia and the Diggle brothers as we move forward, but I can’t really get into that now."

Airing Tuesdays at 9 p.m. ET/PT on The CW, Arrow's final season stars Stephen Amell as Oliver Queen, David Ramsey as John Diggle, Rick Gonzalez as Wild Dog, Juliana Harkavy as Black Canary, Katie Cassidy as Black Siren, Katherine McNamara as Mia Smoak, Joseph David-Jones as Connor Hawke and Ben Lewis as William Clayton-Queen.

J.J. is also supposed to be a love interest for Mia? That's news.

Sigh...y'all dudes who whine about love triangles all the time, do y'all really hate love triangles or do y'all just hate IR love triangles involving BM, non-BF, & non-BM characters? I've never seen y'all complain about IR love triangles involving 2 BM & a non-BW or 2 non-BW & a BM. LOL.

I can't recall ever seeing a love triangle involving two black men and a non bw. Where they do that at? Also don't recall a love triangle where a black dude got the girl over a non black guy

The only IR love triangles involving a non-bw & 2 BM I can think of are:

1. Fallon, Culhane, & Jeff Colby on the 1st season of The CW’s "Dynasty" reboot series

2. Villa, Morris Chestnut, & Taye Diggs briefly on "Rosewood".

As far as TDK's comment about not recalling a love triangle where a black dude got the girl over a non black guy, do you count Lavon, Lemon, & George on "Hart of Dixie"?
 
These love triangles and doomed tropes have legit evidence that people aren't huge fans of them yet they continue to do it especially with IR couples involving black men. You don't see that?

Hollywood still has an issue with IR involving black men which is why in 2019 there are still a lack of legit IR romances or at least stable IR relationships on TV. So the fact that they throw these love triangles or overall doomed tropes and stereotypes IR couples way involving black men says a lot. I mean there is another Christmas movie on netflix where a happily married woman cheats on then leaves her black husband for the white guy she grew up with in her hometown and they're selling it like that's okay and she did the right thing. LOL.

People hate these things overall, but there is an obvious motive behind it when they do it with IR couples involving black men and other shows follow behind that formula instead of a formula that have created positive audience reaction like The Good Place, Cloak and Dagger, Haunting Of Hillhouse, Carnival Row, Stranger Things, ect.

"Whining" is a term people use when they don't agree or approve of certain complaints therefore for it makes it a subjective term. But I try not to complain about these things here because it does drag down the thread and recently I HAVE made more post about the shows involving IR that I like. I was just joking and poking fun at my complaints about love triangles. You have to laugh at yourself sometimes is what my love have told me. I have not complain much about things recently.
