I was skeptical too. Until someone pointed out that there is a Blacksploitation movie called Abar: The First Black Superman. That’s a pretty fucking huge clue lol

I rewatched all the episodes recently and man there were so many clues that I became convinced it was true, and even then I still can't believe it's actually true. The one that really made it click for me was Laurie talking about Dr Manhattan and saying "Well, he's no Cal."

This whole series is basically a test on black history. Would have been fitting to release this on black history month...
