2 Up 2 Down
Veteran
Reading some Power Man and Iron Fist from the 1970s, all I can do is at how they safe negro'd CageI dunno how i feel about this show. I was down with the rebellious and unconventional nature of Alias / J Jones, when i read the series over a decade ago.
I just wasn't down with what came after: her gettin knocked up by and marrying Luke Cage, and having him go from essentially being Black Dynamite to being tied to the hip with this becky character in a sappy marriage/parenthood schtik that isn't black excellence or anything that helps Cage be remotely interesting. IDGAF how 'cute' it is that he has to play the "i hope she aint mad at me b/c i dont want to sleep on the couch" husband trope.. that sappy shyt. Hopefully they keep things from progressing in that route and Cage's show just focuses more on making him bad ass in his own right. Of course i expect them to eventually go with that coupling... but hopefully he and Iron Fist can do their own thing for a lengthy minute or two, before all that sappy stuff starts coming into play.
I'm seriously enjoying these early stories
