BM/WW IR sightings on TV

I stopped watching Supergirl a while back so I can't comment much on what's happening now. I had some interest when Jimmy and Kara were building something. Once the writers flaked on their relationship i tuned out. To be honest, if they're going to be this corny about IR relationships i'd prefer if they just didn't bother (re: James and Kara) .
The whole build up to nothing, then toss her to the white guy thing is getting tired.








I hope they don't take it so slow that the show finishes it's run before they get back together.





Putting Luke with the Claire is just a way of writing him further away from JJ's character. And I don't think Jessica would be moving on to anyone if Luke was a WM. She'd be kept busy on her adventures until the WM version of Luke returned. I'm sure she'd also be "too damaged and troubled to connect to anyone but Luke". But since Luke is black, another man conveniently pops up in season 2 who "gets her". LoL Guarantee you won't see Ironfist's girl Colleen or Karen Page from the Punisher banging some other dude in his absence. Especially if it didn't happen in the comic.






No offense to anyone, but i'm completely unimpressed with WW/Latino or WW/Arab or any other (man of color) IR coupling as real progress, especially if they're REPLACING A BLACK MAN. If anything it seems a cop out. Asian guys being a notable exception to this of course.

And btw, if they want to keep the show different from other shows, heres one way they could do it----

Have Luke Cage with Jessica Jones get together (as they did). And then DO NOT BREAK them up. Let them hit bumps in the road, have their adventures, and work through them without breaking apart. That would be very different because we rarely see it with BM/WW pairings. Creative writers can easily do this. Instead, they either make the IR relationship so fragile that someone steps on a crack in the sidewalk and the couple has to split. Or they use the Hancock method and write in some lame plot device that dooms the relationship from jump.







I've lost count of the times the BM/WW characters clear feelings amounted to nothing in the end. It seems in all these shows the BM/WW relationships are approached like the writers are pulling teeth. Lots of foot dragging. You get a whole bunch of seasons and episodes with very minimal screen time given to the couple. Of course there will always be an excuse written in.

Maybe they'll reconnect, but it wouldn't at all surprise me if they didn't. Time will tell i guess.

Yeah, I get your point, but it could also be that Luke Cage is playing up to the black audience and I have spoke about this before on how now days some of these black showrunners and filmmakers seem to be standoffish with IR pairings involving black men and white women to please black women against it. But Luke Cage and Jessica Jones are to famous of a couple to just nix on and screw up. That would turn a lot of TRUE fans off and make their disdain for black men and white women IR couples obvious.

Lol Jessica’s gonna end up with Luke, they did the whole “declaration of love” back in S1 and show runners CONSTANTLY teased their romance numerous times in Defenders (even scenes with no romance Jess clearly seemed comfortable having average conversation with Luke than anyone else) all of this matters. & if they don’t do it comic fans will be up their ass lol even the white ones. (Lots of white COMIC fans love their relationship so it’s really the non-comic reading racists we have to worry about).

Also, Krysten and Mike’s chemistry is way too damn good and established lol & Krysten teases their relationship on social media a lot, so there’s that.
 
Idk why some of you even bother watching some of these shows, y’all know how they’re moving but still give em ratings lol some of y’all choose to rant all day about shows that are treating BM unfairly but won’t give attention to shows that are giving BM a chance like a Dynasty for example. I’ve hardly seen it being spoken about on here.

Well I can't speak for anyone else, but I watch to see what direction a show will go with an IR relationship then make my decision not to watch. There a few shows that I don't watch when they clearly have these problems. Like with Supergirl other than the neo-liberal writing going on when they were fucking up the IR I stopped tuning in for the most part I only seen three episodes this season. iZombie is a no for me seeing how they did that brotha and kept her innocent. With Wynonna Earp I gave them a fair chance and stopped watching that show. But sometimes the rest of the show be good and the IR is the only part where they are fucking up like with The Originals. I don't like to jump the gun, want to make sure there intentions about IR with bm are clear, you know?

Oh, I have been watching some of the episodes of Dynasty I like the IR on this sexy show. But I work sometimes at night so I don't get to watch a lot of prime time tv unless I DVR or something like that.
 
@darkcurry

Eh I am still watching Earp mostly because I like the genre and the options are limited.
iZombie yeah that annoyed me as well was so OOC as well.
Orginals...Marcel gets laid at least.
Dynasty does have good BM/WW.
Supergirl just no nope that one is more unforgivable then all the others.

As for watching shows, DVR? Really bro torrent or find a site that post links to media player sites where you can watch...if you want I can PM you an preferred choice.

I have to get a VPN before I do that. Last time I did that Comcast sent me a notice about it. Some how they knew where I went and my cousin told me to get a VPN next time.

I felt he was bit off when he disscussed "Rosewood" & "Marvel's Jessica Jones", but the rest of the video was spot on.

I don't remember anybody in this thread mentioning Brian J. White's IR on USA Network's "Colony", so that's a new one I just learned about.

I forgot to mention it, sorry.
Anyway, there is an intens connection between Katie (Sarah Wayne Callies) and Broussard (Tory Kittles) and I was rooting for them to hook up, but nope, I became disappointed.

So I had "Star" on in the background tonight again (S02E07):

@darkcurry @JamalSpunky 1 of the main storylines is shit we've talked about on this forum before.

Luke James' character Noah is an R&B star. His record label boss lady is getting on him for being romantically involved with Star because as we've talked about numerous times on this forum, it's a NO-NO for a black male R&B star with a mostly black fanbase to be dating a non-BW, ESPECIALLY a WW.

So I guess his label boss is trying to push him towards Star's darkskin black bandmate Alex (Who already is already dating Quincy Brown's character) because it would be better for his image. So now based on the promo for next week's episode we got a full on triangle:

Got to see that episode.

- You have aptly described how "Divy" should have been handled when Rebecca RK Sinclair produced season 3 of "90210" lol. Have both Dixon & Ivy adhere to their respective core values and allow them to evolve over their AUS summer vacation into the feature couple of the new season . . . the first couple to exhibit emotional endurance and break the wheel of musical chairs that the cast had been on for two full seasons. Let them hit bumps in the road as a young interracial "Black & Blonde" couple ( ie cops pull them over weekly but rarely ever when they drive separately ). Just give the fans their reasonable expectations after the declarations Dixon made to Ivy in the season 2 finale and all the future issues only amount to anthills rather than volcanoes . . . damn I hate the lengths Rebecca went to in producing season 3 to ruin "Divy" (SMDH)

What teenage boy is going to leave the luxury suite he shares with his girlfriend at the Hilton in AUS because his parents marriage counselling has failed back in Cali?

Has anyone seen The Mist on Netflix? There was an ir love scene in episode eight. The show is an expansion of the Stephen King story.
