Just a recommendation
Watched episodes 1 to 13 and it is pretty decent
Some excellent references to the powerman era and for one brief moment you actually see him in the old retro getup :D
Marvel is definately upping their game on the tv side of things.. shame the comics are going to hell (latest civil war is a joke)
Some obvious tropes but they don't detract.
Nice to see Mahershala Ali in a good role again, I think he is a good actor.
Really want to start seeing more crossovers though
How is the villain? I only watched Daredevil and Jessica Jones fully cause the villains are great. I didn't appreciate the cliched Euro/Bond villain in Civil War.
When luke cage gets shot at.
Tbh, the timing of it is a bit suspect. It's a series about a black man who's impervious to bullets. It's like some awful attempt at garnering more viewers that follow the BLM rhetoric.
I'm personally waiting for a new movie / reboot of Spawn.
In defence this show been in development since 2013
Jessica Jones is ultimately a show about rape survival and it treats the subject matter respectfully and carefully while never devolving into "we live in rape culture" which if the writing wanted to be lazy it could have.
Daredevil explores living poor while being in a poor community with more understanding than any modern liberal party
I have yet to sit down and watch luke cage yet not found the time. Cage has never worked as is own comic because he black man who's impervious to bullets you cant make a lead with that so he best used as a side hero, which why he worked in Jessica Jones. Honestly what this should have been is heroes for hire just combine cage and fist into a single show.
Considering Luke Cage has been around since the 70's, it seems unlikely.
Every hero is getting shot at, it's not weird timing because he's black.
that is the most insane thing i've heard in while, i think you're seeing things that aren't there.
I am currently enjoying the show and hope to finish it soon. Marvel has been killing it with netflix, the walking dead guy as the punisher was so good I can't see anyone else as that character now.
Yeah I totally agree, also what about that Black Panther character in Captain America Civil War, he seems too coincidental too. I mean, it seems like an awful attempt to garner more viewers to follow Black Panther movement that started in the 60s.
But seriously, that's the dumbest shit I've read here in a while.
Black panther has been around for a while and was originally a plot device to explain vibranium. Turned into his own character.
While I am enjoying the show (episode 4) there hasn't been a villain to engage me like the Kingpin or Killgrave.
Looking forward to Iron Fist coming into the picture and getting the Defenders/Heroes for Hire.
The guy they have playing cage nails the role, thus far.
I keep seeing this everywhere but i don't know if i should invest any time into watching it. It's just i been let down so much... Especially with Mr. Robot which was raved about but barely watchable.
Dare devil was nice i almost forgot about that show
I never said the character was created because of it, i was referring to the time in which this series is about to hit the screens.
By that logic, you must think that whenever you see a black person walking down the street, you assume that they must be a plant by BLM so they can push their agenda on you.
Makes a lot of sense. /s
No, you're just jumping to ridiculous conclusions.
Stop trying to stretch my original statement, to make up idiotic things.
Just finished episode 3, the ending was fucked up, but the Battlefield Engineer in me says "fuck yeah".
Fined the series today. Was pretty good. Mike Colter and Simone Missick were great. But Stryker was uninteresting. Maybe Daredevil and Jessica Jones set the bar too high on villain side.
I binge watched every episode over the weekend and the show seems...ok. The show definitely wasn't bad but it wasn't great either (like Daredevil for example). I felt like the series had the same problem as the Arrow - too much dialogue and backstory, not enough action. It's supposed to be a super hero series, I wanna see some fucking action! I want to see shit blowing up, bodies flying, fighting, shooting, etc. There just wasn't enough of it there. And the action that was there was bland and boring - bad guys shoot at Cage, bullets make holes in his shirt as he walks/runs towards them, before swinging his arm and putting them through a wall. I did like the part where Cage wrapped a car door around some dude.
Thankfully the characters and even some of the backstory dialogue were at least interesting, unlike in Arrow, where the whole show boiled down to faggy teeny-bopper melo-drama, like Dawson's Creek. Luke Cage is actually an interesting main character. I liked Pops. I liked that scumbag cop secretly working for Cottonmouth. Shades was pretty cool. Cottonmouth definitely nailed the villain you love to hate part. Marriah is a conniving cunt and nailed the shady and corrupt politician part. Diamondback was a bit over the top, at least in the overall setting of the show. Especially towards the end when he got that goofy-looking custom of his. Just looked out of place.
I'd watch season 2 when it comes out, but I definitely want more action, less talking.
Definitely needs a bit more action
Hate rap, but really like this one
lyrics are actually intelligent
You are usually trolling when you open your mouth. I hope to fuck this is one of those times.
I finished watching it too. Compared to Daredevil, Luke Cage has a better consistent production value. I think with Daredevil Season 2 they overshot themselves with how they ended it, it seems the production quality went out the window a couple of episodes near the end, even with the script got a little cheesy and rushed at the end. Not in the case with Luke Cage, the production and script was consistent throughout. And I like the story of Harlem and its culture as much as the character, Luke Cage.
