Netflix: Luke Cage Season 2 (Discussion Thread) - Spoilers Approved (Update Cancelled!!)

[Flawless]

I am disappointed in Diamond Back, they should have used a actor with more stage presence.

 

[thundercat]

Mahershala Ali deserves an Emmy for his portrayal of Cottonmouth. He killed that role. Diamondback was cool, but the show lost a little energy when Cottonmouth was killed off. I didn't notice that Mike Colter was just an ok actor until Ali and Frankie Faison(underrated actor) weren't around. He plays well off of good established veteran actors. Can't wait for season 2.....whenever that is. I guess I'll catch up on DD and Jessica Jones in the meantime.

Marvel Details The Original Soundtrack Album For LUKE CAGE Season 1

If you've finished Luke Cage and have been dying to get your hands on the music, well then today's your lucky day. Marvel has just announced the Soundtrack Album with over 50 original compositions!

Just like Daredevil & Jessica Jones before it, Marvel's Luke Cage premiered to rave reviews last week and even managed to shut down Netflix for a few hours on its first day, which is just what the Power Man ordered.

The show's soundtrack has been receiving a lot of love this past week and it looks like Marvel knew the score was straight fire going in because they've just announced an Original Soundtrack Album for Season 1, which is the fastest they've ever released a soundtrack album for one of their Netflix series. It will contain fifty-one original compositions from Adrian Younge & Ali Shaheed Muhammed and will also contain tracks from Raphael Saadiq, Faith Evans, Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings, and Charles Bradley. The Method Man track "Bulletproof Love," which was released as a single last week, will also be featured.

It goes on sale tomorrow, so be sure to check into iTunes or Amazon at midnight for the link.

Gootdamn....Poet is stil in jail. He was a jailhouse prison nigga on Oz and on here too

Free Poet!

 

[melonpecan]

You a lil girl..............

Come at me bruh. You KNOW I'm right on this one.

Diamond: And you speak to me as if you're not actually in the presence of death.

Ain't no way you heard that shit and didn't get spooked.
Ain't no way you heard that shit and didn't get chills.

Along with the fact that the Judas bullets are the only way to bring him down... sold by a black man to the police.

MESSAGE

cottonmouth was good, but he was too hooked on the gansta shit, he was still wanted his corners so to speak I saw the wire in this show for real.
Mariah saw the light, she was ok with the gansta shit to get things popping, but saw real power was in politics. However no she's out to the political game to a certain extent I think she will go further as a ganster than cottonmouth ever would have because she can see the bigger picture and knows when to cut her losses (she advised cotton to just leave the luke cage alone)

Can't.
Wait.

Ok I got one single question...

Did they use the n word too much?

I don't like it either. But in this case, no. When you look at it as a whole, it could have been a lot worse on the N-bombs. However that line with Diamondback about being the brother...hell, if anyone sold a racial slur it was in that moment. (I know it's bad but the line was sooo good)

What???

Never gonna be another Mr. Stokes

Writer's challenge:

Cheo gets Marvel to offer a contract based on a spec script....

How would YOU bring Cottonmouth back from the dead?

Flashbacks. Momma Mabel don't deserve her own show, but these flashbacks could get a couple of episodes or be split up. And it doesn't have to be all when they were kids. Flesh it out.

Interesting write up on the show...I wonder what are bgol's thoughts.

http://www.geek.com/television/luke-cage-is-a-fun-half-measure-1673167/

Dude wants too much. The show has elements that are deep, (I mentioned the biblical elements earlier among some), but I think this Black man writer wants LC to be more than what it is. Nothing wrong with that, but you can't hit people over the head. LC is not going to be the entertainment blunt answer to BLM and police shootings. It can't be. The message has to delivered to those that aren't Black for them to understand it and appreciate it and I think LC did a good job of that. And some of the points in the article, just because a Black person does or says something in the show that's not right, doesn't make it a contradictory matter in real life. Dude is focusing to much on the delivery in that instance rather than the message itself. A script without character names don't care who say the words.

I am disappointed in Diamond Back, they should have used a actor with more stage presence.

Did we watch the same show?

Mahershala Ali deserves an Emmy for his portrayal of Cottonmouth. He killed that role. Diamondback was cool, but the show lost a little energy when Cottonmouth was killed off. I didn't notice that Mike Colter was just an ok actor until Ali and Frankie Faison(underrated actor) weren't around. He plays well off of good established veteran actors. Can't wait for season 2.....whenever that is. I guess I'll catch up on DD and Jessica Jones in the meantime.

Hell yes. And I think Mike Colter is great at Luke Cage. If this was what Quintin wanted, and was full out blaxpoitation - he would not be the guy. But for someone who is suppose to be on the ground, in the streets, a lover, not wanting to fight - Colter does it well. Dude is smooth with it, which I think is female fan service, but roll with it.

How many of y'all asking Sisters out for coffee?

I don't like coffee but I'm still asking Sisters out, I will order tea.

[DWBass]

Just finished binge watching the entire season today. Not bad. I don't follow the comics so don't know much about the character or villains. But that Diamondback mufucka annoyed the hell outta me. Basically a whiny ass faggot with daddy issues! Stupid!

[grownazzblakman]

Diamondback is the same guy named Dunn Purnsley from HBO: Boardwalk Empire.

He caught a savage beat down in jail from Chalky White's buddies.

He did a decent job on Luke Cage too, imo.

At the very least... he knows how to take a good ass-whuppin, on camera.

 

[mark115]

Let's see if marvel capitalizes on Luke's popularity and gives him and/or his vilians the promotion they deserve ; new series with a real artist (not that samurai Jack bs ) and a starring role in one of their big cross overs. But I'm not holding my breath

 

[Flawless]

I sent you to hell and you came back with super powers, ain't that a bitch!

what's interesting is that the writer is not taking into account that these other shows been out for at least a yr, a few of them months i.e. stranger things, and luke cage is in the 5 top with in the week of its release.

[playahaitian]

http://finance.yahoo.com/news/heres-many-people-watching-luke-152525711.html

Well this shocking...

I posted an in depth article on how netflix NEVER reveals it's ratings

I actually believe luke cage numbers are bigger because none of the previous shows crashed the server upon release.

The last few years Cage has been pretty prominent in the comics.

LOL I'm sure Mariah didn't like the Molestation angle either
Cotton mouth not having powers is what made it fucking dope.
was .5 deducted from Daredevil for ol boy not having any powers?

 

[ansatsusha_gouki]

episode 10

 

[jasonblacc]

LOL I'm sure Mariah didn't like the Molestation angle either
Cotton mouth not having powers is what made it fucking dope.

Season 1 I would give 8/10 season 2 9/10

Daredevil never had powers other than his sonar abilities. Which he has and so do few blind people out in the real world most notably a black kid from London I believe. So no, and cottonmouth does have powers in comics.
