History Headscratchers / BlackLightning2018

* After the ASA tries [[{{Irony}} threatening Jefferson to make Gambi reveal Black Lightning's identity]], the Pierce family, realizing a murderous government conspiracy is now after them, move into a secret safe-house. Yet, the very next episode, Jefferson, Anissa, and Jennifer all go back to Garfield High. Doesn't showing up their jobs like normal make hiding where they live kinda pointless?

** Whale doesn't seem like the sort to accept resignations. How do you suppose he would respond in Latavius turned in his two weeks notice?

* Tobias Whale has a habit of abusing and killing his henchmen for failure. Why would people continue to work for him? Syonyde seems to be enjoying her job, but isn't she and Khalil worry about being at the receiving end of Tobias's gun one day? It doesn't take much to set him off.

* Tobias Whale has a habit of abusing and killing his henchmen for failure. Why would people continue to work for him? Syonyde seems to be enjoying her job, but isn't she and Khalil worry about being at the receiving end of his gun one day? There's a chance he will kill them if they fail him too many times.

* Tobias Whale has a habit of abusing and killing his henchmen for failure. Why would people continue to work for him? Has it ever occurred to Syonyde and Khalil that Tobias might kill them too one day? It doesn't take much to set him off. It seems like a red flag if the "nice" man who restored your legs is calling you an idiot, and threatens to kill you if you slip up on a mission.

* how do people know who thunder is even before she got her costume and how did they know her name was thunder

* In the 30 years he knew (and at times worked with) Gambi, didn't it once occur to Jefferson to wonder why he had access to all that money, training and advanced technology? It'd be one thing if Gambi had told some plausible lie, but the impression from the show is that Jefferson never even asked. ''In thirty years.''

* In episode 9, Jefferson and Anissa get information from a lawyer wearing Obama and Michelle masks. Jefferson is worried about using his powers, but he used his powers when threatening the guy. Why didn't he use a fake gun instead? Isn't Jefferson afraid the guy will recognize him as the Black Lightning?

** Tobias could be as young as his mid-50s (assuming he was very successful and became a city politician in his early 20s), which would put his birth in the 1960s, and the flashback could have been in the early 1970s. Assuming Eldridge was in his 20s when Tobias was born, he'd only be in his 70s in the present. His appearance wouldn't be unreasonable for someone of that age.

* Would Henderson care if Black Lightning kills Tobias? Sure Gambi and Jefferson's ex-wife would be upset, but would the cops and the city care about a scumbag like Whale getting vaporized by the vigilante? Henderson didn't know Lady Eve was into shady stuff. To him, she was an innocent woman. He knows Tobias is a dangerous criminal.

* If Tobias has been slowing down his aging for years, then shouldn't his dad look a LOT older? Also, the flashback with him and a young Eldridge looks like it took place in the late 1960s. Did the writers goof up on the timeline?

* I'm assuming the public is aware of other metahumans because they quickly figured it out that the statue was destroyed by Anissa (in disguise). Keep in mind this is the first time the public has seen this mysterious "blonde" girl. For all they know, it could have been a coincidence that the statue exploded at that moment. She could have been some ordinary cosplayer who was upset about the tragedy, stomping the ground out of rage. If a some guy sneezes a second before a building explodes, would he be accused of being a metahuman?

** Perhaps that universe uses BrandX versions of characters that are being adapted for this show?

* In her first appearance, Grace has a copy of ''Outsiders'' vol. 2 #16. How is it possible for this comic book to even ''exist'' in-universe? It has (white) Lady Eve on the cover!
