Luke Cage

I liked it.  Main villain was really lame though, not as good as Kingpin or Kilgrave, not even close.  That's my only gripe really.  I loved some of the easter eggs, like wearing the old yellow shirt and metal stuff like his first comic for that scene lol.

I agree.  Thought the show was pretty nice.  Villain sucked.

Finished it in about two days. I loved it for a lot of the reasons mentioned. Diamondback wasn't as strong as a Villian compared to Fisk or Kilgrave but in his own right he was pretty good. I liked the brother aspect and that they had prior history with eachother. 

 

Super excited for Iron fist and defenders. All these marvel Netflix shows have been amazing. I couldn't get past the first 6 episodes of Jessica Jones but after I finished Luke Cage I went back and finished that show up. It got really good the last half. Now I'm going back through Daredevil. It's all so good

I actually thought Cottonmouth wasn't a bad villain and they should have just rolled with him and his cousin, maybe bringing in outside help or something etc.  Diamondback was WAYYYY over the top for a grounded Netflix show.  When they made you feel a bit sorry for Cottonmouth he was already gone, I think if they kept him alive, showed that, and then preceded with the show it would have been much better.  Also, I loved Shades, glad that guy has found another role after Sons of Anarchy and I'm glad he's still alive.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
