I agree with pretty much everything everyone said in this thread (especially Kir the wizard, and except Honest steve). I personally think this is the best pilot of the CW TV shows to date. It did a really got job of setting the tone, establishing the "universe" (so to speak) and the characters in it, and above all else just being real, and also showing the human side of these characters (which is the predominant side). It showed multiple real world issues and the adult and immature ways to go about them, among so many other valid and interesting points. All in JUST ONE PILOT! Dang, that is impressive. 10/10

I'm inclined to agree Black Lighting is starting off with a REALLY solid supporting cast, so I thing they need a lot of time to develop, grow, and spend some time kicking ass as superheroes before letting anyone else in. As much as I love Virgil, he has to wait 'till at least season 3 before it seems fitting.

Tbh, I'm really torn on where Virgil should go, be it Black Lightning or Titans. At this point, it seems very likely that Titans will not be in the Arrowverse (while the opposite seems true for Black Lightning), so it's hard to chose which one I'd rather him on. On paper and judging by this pilot, Black Lightning could probably do his story (or at least origin) more justice because he normally/initially deals with the same type of issues as Jefferson, but just from a different (teenaged high school student's) perspective. Then again, Titans can actually allow the character to expand and grow and be a more central figure in the show. Plus Static had a great run with the Teen Titans in the comics while he rarely interacted with BL in any media. In any case, I thing Static works best when he's the/a central character, so I'm rooting for him to somehow still get his own spinoff. But if they could do great introduction of him on Black Lightning and then make him a central character on Titans, that would be awesome.
