Eh. i don't know. it is still interesting that the superhero who happens to have "bullet immunity" as it's biggest sell point and whose origin story is strongly related to police brutality and racism... happens to appear when there is a new wave of protests and new cases of police brutality appear each week. This is the political context in which the show is being produced and in which it is going to premiere, it will be strongly tied to it.
Like sure. it is probably a coincidence. how does that change the fact that a black character who is immune to getting shot and who was wrongly accused will be the hero in a show that has a black man as showrunner in a time and place when black people are being shot and wrongly accused?
