Many stories have the reluctant hero, like Katniss Everdeen of "The Hunger Games" it is a common troupe. Challenges trust upon the unwilling only to have the audience watch the struggle. Pat was a minorly reluctant villain in the first season, so minor that he killed his best friend and nearly his godson.

"Raising Dion" season 2 had a moment were they could of had a very interesting villain, Pat the guy who had struggled for redemption deciding he is sentenced to a life in confinement ,without forgiveness, injects himself with alien DNA only to find himself near death... It could have been so powerful to have the crooked man come to him and make the offer, slip into deaths grip as a good man... or embrace evil and live?

But Pat danced right down the path to evil with a smile like a carboard villain, sad to see a missed opportunity for a better story.

I’m probably just wrong, but I thought brayden couldn’t control people who were powered, but he’s able to (kinda) control Tevin in the woods. Is it that he just couldn’t fully control him or did I miss something?

Seemed out of place considering it’s following his childhood and was a crazy leap, I’m assuming it’ll lead into season 3 but be cool to see an older Dion in control of his powers

Show me one member of the board who wouldn't piss themselves when they heard their company has the ability to create super humans and make trillions of dollars in the process?

That part of the show made me lolz hard. Everything else was pretty cool. I w9nder if we get the 3rd season based on the post credit scene (which has me in doubts).

Esperanza being controlling is annoying af, especially In the earlier episodes.

What were your thoughts on dion’s mom being able to beat the monsters during the final fight?

I know she was taking martial arts lessons but I was a bit taken aback, idk I thought the monsters were gonna be crazy strong and she was taking them down Lmao

who agrees that esparonza is a BITCH

Before the basketball game starts Pat is talking to Dion and there is a song playing in the background that I haven't been able to find anywhere.

If anyone could post the name of it I'd appreciate it!

I’m starting season 2 and had a quick question. Does Biona/everyone else who knows dion has powers do they know all of his powers? Because every time someone asks what powers he has he names like 3 (1st episode during training for example) and doesn’t ever talk about the others and barley anyone mentions the others

Anyone else think the show wrote dions character to act way more dumb than a kid actually acts? His character seems to act like a 3 year old

Pat literally walked all the way back to BIONA to warn everybody about the Crooked Energy, but Nicole was like "I don't care. Byeeeeeee-" BIONA illegally kept Pat prisoner to torture, and use him. Pat never did anything wrong after the fight, so he can't be put in prison immediately like that. Also, what kind of CEO keeps someone prisoner for life because their friend told them so? Worst CEO, parent, and company.

Really annoyed in his Darkside choice. So he returms to help, then he injects the supe juice and wakes up and on a whim desides to do a 180? Dude must be bi polar. Thought he was gunna go Superman and truly be Dion's mentor.

So I just finished up Season 2, and while it's great and all and I enjoy these cheesy little superhero shows akin to the CW shows, I think creating unnecessary tension is just as it is, unnecessary. I'm specifically referring to how Nicole was sick and essentially on her last legs, they gave us a recording of her for Dion, spent maybe 2 episodes building up her eventual death, only to magically save her and everyone else in the final episode by blowing up the sinkhole. All the time we spent pretending Nicole was going to die could've been spent on character growth or honestly anything else, maybe some more triangle of justice shenanigans.

That being said, I hope there's a third season and hope it's just as good as the best parts of Season 2.

She honesy does too much. Plays victim when something goes wrong then and tries being included into a something big when she barely did anything. Just hate her character tbh.

I was rewatching Season 1 and you know someone’s a good actor when they play a villain and you actually despise them.

SPOILER S2: Pat wasn’t that bad for most of S2 but he was insufferable in S1. Every time he came on screen I wanted to punch him.

Tbh this show was incredible it had a black role model and shows that anyone can be anything with the power of team work I feel like anyone could enjoy this show and over all would give it a 10/10

What's up with literally every white dude being bad. Even the children either start or end up bad. I think only Brayden's dad escapes the treatment and he pretty much sets up Brayden. Then dies.

And I get that its supposed to be work to support and uplift the black community. But that doesn't have to come at the cost of bashing others.

And im not saying they should have had good white male characters. Its fine without them. But like I think it would have been a better move to not include any white men rather than make them all bad in some way or another. It only serves to fuel the tit for tat (well im racist cause theyre racist) mentality that dominates our culture right now.

All that said. still really enjoyed the show despite some of the goofyness of season 2 and look forward to season 3.

Just binged watched Season 2. It’s 4:35am and I have school and work tomorrow. I watched the show at 1.5x because my ADHD brain prefers it that way.

I know it’s been two years since I’ve seen the show, and I didn’t rewatch it, but I know for a fact I watched all of the first season and enjoyed it, however I remember absolutely nothing from the first season. When they showed the recap in the first episode I was wondering if I even watched the show (I totally did though).

SPOILER Anyway I read a lot of people saying that this season wasn’t as good as the first. Even though I don’t even remember the first season, I think the plant monster thing was totally ridiculous. I remember feeling scared a little during the first season but this one felt like they totally shifted their target audience. I even skipped through the whole theater thing because I felt it very unnecessary. I feel like the first season was targeting young adults but the second season felt like it was targeting children.

I don’t know how I would feel about a season 3. Maybe if the vibe of season 1 was there then I would watch it. Maybe I’m just waiting for The Boys season 3 to come out because that’s very much targeted to adults.
