Luke Cage || Netflix

The only thing I'm wondering is how is anyone gonna be a threat to Luke Cage? he is too much of a beast.

Tbf it's Marvel so they could always just bring in a villain who can hurt Cage. He's hardly a powerhouse.

I liked LC more than any of the rest, but maybe just because it's most recent in my mind. The quality is pretty high across the board though, no serious complaints about any of them.

Luke Cage has some of the best banter of any show I can remember.

At the start Luke was too cagey and quiet but later on (Im on ep13) he is more relaxed and has some great dialogue. Loving it. Method Man

I like the entire cast pretty much, love the music too.

Didn't realize there were only 13 episodes.

Only one I disliked in LC was Mariah something.

White Obama was a bit annoying but atleast he didn't have much screen time.

Mariah was a bitch but that's a compliment to the actress imo. Played the whole annoying, false-sense-of-superiority, bitch manipulative politician well.

Big fan of Diamondback. That scene where he went to Domingo's was GOAT. Worthy of the best Joker stuff.

Yeah he's actually not that tough to take down compared to the stuff floating about marvel universe

Kinda spoiler if you didn't watch JJ

Spoiler:

Nah I know he is not like invincible, just that I was starting the show and I see a bunch of street thugs going against him. No chance that they could do anything to him and yep, they just got wrecked.

I know that some Avengers level stuff can wreck him.

Although, he would be cool in the avengers imo. Daredevil can't really contribute much (haven't watched JJ), but Luke Cage can. He is probably better than a few of them.

Yah in terms of street level crime he might as well be a God because nothing readily available can dent him providing he isn't caught literally sleeping.


I did enjoy Cage but I stand by it that I think cottonmouth was much better than DB. Probably down to the actors though, different class IMO.

Wolverine wrecks him 10/10 times

Who doesn't wolverine wreck from the marvel mcu?

maybe Thor and Hulk

x-men are too op

Strange, Scarlet Witch, Odin, Vision etc

Haven't seen dr strange, need to watch that.

Not sure Scarlet Witch has shown much in the movies to kill Wolverine tbh.

Odin I wasn't really counting, he is kinda like an outsider, might as well put Thanos.

Vision is a good call.

SW is an actual powerhouse and would wreck all them pesky mutants if she goes all out
Anyway just wanted to point out that Wolverine wouldn't be much of a big deal.

Wolverine killed phoenix

How hilarious would Iron Man/Captain America/Black Panther/Hawkeye vs Magneto be? or the whole movie Age of Ultron?

MCU Cap would probably find a way to beat Magneto. MCU Cap >>>>>

MCU Cap is Superman on steroids.

Finished season 2

It's miles better than season 1. And probably one of the top marvel netflix shows too. Not as good as DD S1/S2 or JJ S1 but it's better than JJS2, IF, LCS1 for sure.

Bushmaster is one incredible character. Compelling villain who interests you and someone who successfully filled the void left by cottonmouth. Amazing actor too. He is arguably the hero of Season 2. Man has immense charisma and compared to that shitshow of a character diamondback was, he absolutely elevated season 2. He is nearly a black punisher. It took him like 20 minutes to be a better character than diamondback and Mariah

You know shit just got real when "DEM CALL ME BUSHMASTER NOW"

The tracks were on point as always. Made me a fan of blues ffs.

Negatives? 3-4 episodes too long but that seems like a common issue in netflix shows. Some of the mini-arcs were pointless. Too much character time to one certain character.

Some great cameos and name drops. No spoilers though.

Also ended in a very very interesting note.

Definitely worth watching if you haven't yet.

Thought I was done with marvel netflix shows but after reading your review I'll give it a try now.

One thing I don't get is why they don't shorten these shows. It's the one weakness every single season of every marvel netflix show had so far (maybe not the Defenders which afair was a lot shorter, don't actually remember that too much lmao).
Considering they are not aired every week I don't really get it.

Very good season but they need to cut back on the episodes or cut out the filler.

My problem is these marvel netflix shows aren't great at creating solid character arcs that aren't involving the main hero that are actually interesting


Idgaf about these side kicks doing regular crap tbh.

I think 3 episodes alone could've been filled with Mariahs shit monologues

This show also makes me want a night club, i'm glad Harlems Paradise always has a reason to feature.

lmao i was so happy about that decision. GOAT night club. When biggie's son was singing that blues song ffs.

Agreed about episodes thing.

Do I need to watch the defenders for this?

I haven't watched any Jessica Jones or defenders

It doesn't touch much on Defenders, but there is a key event in Defenders that affects a major character in Luke Cage so if you want that background, the later episodes are worth a watch.

Cancelled
