Mike Colter as luke cage is TRASH

[Luke Cage]

I feel like ppl are telling on themselves
"I dont want to see a Black Man as a hood niklka
Its corny"

You can be hood and not a total stereotype

Just at least give me some ving rhames type energy

Why do they all gotta be hood in the first place? All black people are hood now?
You just said in your previous post that you think Misty Knight (A detective) should act more like Eve( A stripper turned rapper)
If she needs to act like a black woman who worked in barbershop why can't she be like Bessie Coleman? She did nails too.
She aint drop any mixtapes though so you'll probably have to google who she is.

They have a bunch of Black people in the mcu that arent hood.
Why cant Luke Cage be hood other than it offends your sensibilities?

It does offend my sensibilities. Don't need any other reason.
What? You think I'm ashamed to be black and from the upper middle class? thought i was going to cop pleas?

More black people live in the surburbs than in the hood. in 2014 I believe the number was 39% suburbs 36% City
and yet we're constantly treated like a minority within a minority. No, there are more "square nikkas" than "hood nikkas"

So ppl shouldnt be represented unless they represent you?

And suburbs doesnt mean the same thing in all cities...in fact suburbs are anout to bw the new hood

But yea your reasoning is dumb. All Black people dont have to be depicted the same.

I'm glad you agree with me. Not sure how you translate that idea into having yet another depiction of a hood nikka, when every single one of them is portrayed like that.
Black Panther is the only one without a blue collar background.

When Nick Fury was white his dad was WWI Pilot who traveled the world fighting Facists
Black Nick Fury's father was an elevator attendant working for crumpled ones because? Why? Would it have been unrealistic for his Dad to fly a plane too?

shyt is always the same.

MCU is not full of hood nikkas
You reaching hard

Diamondback was a lil over the top. RIP cottonmouth

But calling LC trash is absurd. The actor for IF is horrendous; every time he speaks in defenders, I wanna slap the dude.

Felt the same up until the point he couldn't stop eating

That's when he became a living Naruto .

 

[mastermind]

This.

I tried getting into that show since my friends were hyping the shyt up. It was overkill boring and not really up to par. The only actor that killed their role was Mahershala and once he got killed off, it was a wrap.

I think everyone but Colter killed their parts.

Even Theo Rossi/Juice from Sons Of Anarachy and his non acting ass?

The show was bad all around IMO.

I forgot about him

He was not memorable even though his character is important.

Those two then and Diamondback. I am watching season 2 though, hoping it gets better.

After a while that just becomes redundant especially in the event we the audience don't give a rat's ass about anyone in his life but Claire. At some point in this superhero ish we need an old skool offensive battle between good and evil. Even luthor has to throw down with supes once in a while

I mean, it shouldn't. They do a lot to flesh out the other characters of the show and try to make you realize how important their presence is to Luke. Hell, the goddamn swear jar has a lot of emotional weight and serves as a reminder for Luke to be the better person.

The battle that Luke Cage and all his antagonists is a battle for the soul of Harlem. Everyone is trying to recreate Harlem in their image (Except Diamondback who represents absolute chaos and destruction) which is why he seems so cartoonish and unpredictable as opposed to everyone else being more grounded.

Y'all cats gotta stop looking at the Netflix MCU as superhero blockbusters because that's not what they're going for at all. They're pretty much using different genres to do season long character studies that resonant with certain themes. Jessica Jones is a tragic character study about living as a rape victim with a Noir-aesthetic, etc.

I don't really think anything really improves if we saw Luke Cage and a superpowered Cottonmouth have a Hulk vs Abominaton brawl in the middle of the street. The reason Cottonmouth works as a villain is because of how he consistently has to escalate the situation to deal with the superpowered Luke which makes thing worse for himself and Harlem.

When it was just about Cage and Cottonmouth

It was soo good

 

[KOOL-AID]

Kinda wooden with emotional range, I get the new adaption but it's like at times stop the whining n go crack some heads (which he usually does) but the blowing up the building part in defenders irked me like dude these nikkas evil fukk em. Some more bravado wld be nice, his philosophy on things is very heroish

He wasn't worried about hurting the Hand, he was worried about harming any innocent people and then there was the fact that he JUST got out of jail. Luke is really not out here trying to hurt people and more than any other member of that group is about being a symbol for something greater. He's supposed to be the Cap/Superman of the group.

LOL! I stopped watching as soon as they introduced Diamondback with the corny ass 70s phrases. And that whole he's his brother angle was just too corny for me to continue. Never finished season 1.
