Poor Henry.

Yeah... I'll be a little piss if the death sticks though... no disrespect to the other characters but he was BY FAR my favorite character because of everything we got to see with him and the progress of growth and everything. One of the well rounded written characters I've watched in a long time.

That must have hurt.

**eternalfate** · 07-21-2020, 08:31 PM

^ I'm actually just more upset.... but again I'll wait but in the moment I feel it was a stupid decision if it sticks.
Henry King Jr just brought a shades of gray that no other character did... he wasn't all evil or all good but that's what made him interesting... just waiting to see what he would do next... so the decision is ridiculous to be at the moment...

I don’t know. If he were to survive and join the JSA wouldn’t they be a little too overpowered then?

The ISA is a little to overpowered by having Brainwave and Icicle over there so no... it shouldn't matter.

Also Brainwave Jr. still doesn't have full control over his power yet so won't be as strong as Brainwave Sr.

I looked up spoilers and they did an interview with JAW. He confirmed that Henry is most definitely dead and when he got the part, they told him up front that his character would die.

It's really sh**ty and I'm really sad, especially since next week is an obvious red herring. I hope they spend more than 5 minutes on Henry's death.

This show is not shy about death. First poor Joey and his family and now this.

Brainwave jr is an important member of the young JSA tbh. They can't kill him off.

**eternalfate** · 07-22-2020, 09:44 AM

I listened and watched all of JAW interviews and I'm still hoping it's a fakeout. lol I have a difficult time believing this....
I'll say this... if we don't see more proof of his death during the next episode, like a funeral or something then I won't believe that he died...

**NOLA504** · 07-22-2020, 10:56 AM

It would be great if he survived. just not sure tho.

The interview said he wouldn't have joined if he lived. He would have been sort of a vigilante. But he would have loved to have family out there.

I do hope he lives, b/c the thing with Yolanda is incomplete.

he needs to use his superpowers and just move the cement off him. I dont want him to be dead. he has become one of my fav characters on the show.

**eternalfate** · 07-22-2020, 06:20 PM

I think he's dead based on everything that's been said.

If he's not, a heck of a fakeout but I'm just upset... if they wanted him out of the way for a bit, they should've just put him in a coma for a few episodes. lol

**My Kind Of Crazy** · 07-22-2020, 07:30 PM

im just so sad he is gone. he went from my least fav character to my fav within just a few episodes. he has come so far only to die way to soon.

Against_all_odds · 07-22-2020, 07:35 PM

Did you guys see him on the CW's IG? I follow him on IG and he did a video advertising it. Unfortunately, I missed him and the actor playing his dad do a Q&A.

If they kill off Cindy, I'll bang my head against a wall. But I think it's depressing that a dragon cares more about his child than Brainwave does. Hell,every single ISA parent does. None of them would kill their kids. Wtf?!

The coma would have been ideal. I mean, the others couldn't stand Henry,but did you see how upset they were? He died to protect them, even if they were technically antagonists.
