In the comics she’s Black Mariah, a 400lbs Black woman that drove an old black mariah around town to steal bodies so she can loot their stuff. Shades too, in the comics he’s basically a black version of Cyclops.

I am really glad Luke Cage did not embrace the nuttiness. It would inevitably trivialize race and racism in 2018. Leave nuttiness to Squirrel Girl (pun intended).

One of them is a scientific genius as well. But most writers forget that and portray him as a big dumb idiot.

I really wish they'd played more with the blaxploitation angle of Luke Cage more, but it was still there-- just way toned down. I still haven't finished it tho so maybe it gets more fun and campy in the back half but I'll prob never bother with it. They also should have played up the goofy kung fu angle of Iron Fist .... smdh

The fact that instead of a 1970s Harlem "Heroes for Hire" movie we got these two tv shows is a goddamned crime. They decided to not have Superhero Lethal Weapon and make two shows that seemingly hate thier core source material. At least Luke Cage had some great moments, Iron Fist just sucked.

This is what happens when you hire dramatic actors and make them do their own stunts with minimal training. The Benedimple Cucumberbun jumping clip comes to mind. And the entirety of IF and LC.

Plus, other than him being apparently a real chill dude, I don't feel like I could bitch slap Mike Colter without painful consequences. Finn Jones, OTOH, I MIGHT break a nail by catching a hangnail in his beard.

Yeah, DDS2 was fine it just had a case of 'half of this is way better than the other half, and also way more serious than the goofy ninja poo poo'. The tone shifts and pacing was p weird but the content was fine.

If DDs3 were literally “undead ninjas team up wIth aliens and mermaids to get kids addicted to gambling” but the fight sequences went back to S1 quality I’d watch every loving episode. I never even finished the Defenders

I agree somewhat regarding DDS2 (though I hate the undead ninjas, they super hosed that up not to mention they completely forgot how Matt's powers work rofl) but I also know that the DDS2 showrunners performed the abortion that is The Defenders, and that's what makes me pessimistic regarding DDS3.

The defenders was kind of doomed from the outset because half the cast had shows relating to the main plot, and the other half didn’t. And of the half that did have Hand stuff in it, one of those shows was godawful.

I get that but it's also the responsibility of the showrunners and producers to create a show that's at least acceptable and they couldn't even manage that. These shows are stemming out of capeshit comics which are notorious for fluctuating in quality, and the previous shows created excellent material out of that anyway so IMO Marvel TV has 0 excuses at this point. It can be done, they just didn't try.
