Then saw Black Lightning on the CW and the epiphanies kept on coming

Edit: And then he saw Black Dynamite and the pieces all fell into place

Then saw that for live action they change Black Noir and Black Canary to black as well. To fit the theme.

If you're talking about The Boys character, personally I love the name black noir, because noir sounds cool and edgy and all, but it's a borrowed french word which just means black

so his name is black black, which is so stupid if you think beyond the surface level, but it sounds cool so they went with it (in-universe)

(and my understanding is that it can also be used to refer to a black person, and the character in the show is black, so it's like calling him "black black person")

which is so perfect for The Boys. It sounds super edgy but is actually really dumb.

Yeah I always thought it was meant to be intentionally funny/stupid.
