Huey was one of my top 2 Favorite Characters Growing up My other Being Jazmine. I watched The Boondocks since I was 3 or 4 years old and I like Huey Because of How intelligent he was. I found Riley and Granddad Unlikable as People or as Characters they were Funny don't get me Wrong but...That was Really all the only likable thing about them.
"One day, you're going to be smarter than everybody." Probably the first time anyone said that to Huey. Jazmine is the only one who isn't deterred by Huey's personality, and she can see who he is underneath the surface. Huey: "Why do I keep trying?" Jazmine: "Because you're different from everyone else."
I love how the conversation between Jazmin and Huey involving a hypothetical doomsday scenario is a callback to the conversation between Grandad and Huey when Huey asks Grandad "What do you do when you feel like you cant do anything at all." "You do what you can." Taking this to heart, Huey's goal goes from wanting the entire black community to find equality and get restitution to simply wanting what is the best for Huey's family specifically which is why despite the frequent beatings he gives Riley wants Riley to one day make decisions that arent impulsive ones.
... Huey: Alicia Keys Riley: Regina King Jazmine: Gabby Soleil (the only kid) Cindy: Tara Strong Lamilton: Bobbe j Thompson (that Wildnout rapper) aaaaaand that's all I got for the kids voices correct me if I'xm wrong I haven't watched the show in a while I heard Regina replaced for Huey after the first season and tad bit getting sick of Tara Strong in everything least she a side role though
Never letting anyone forget that Huey was willing to emotionally manipulate his brother and make him question his sexuality all in the name of having his own room
