I hope the next season brings in tougher dudes so the fights have an excuse to get more interesting. I don't mean, I need them to be as strong as Luke but them being more durable would help out a lot. Really, I just wanna see him clubbing people by grabbing someone by the leg and slamming them into other people.

I don't even think he's gonna show up in Daredevil S3, but I'd love for Nuke and Luke to punch each other a bit.

bloodychill posted:Luke's internal tissue is almost as tough is as skin, or close anyway. Not tough enough to keep him from experiencing brain trauma from that shotgun blast to the head in JJ but tough enough that they couldn't even cut through tissue underneath his dermis. Claire was able to stick a needle behind Luke's eye socket to drain the fluids inside his skull. And they were able to draw blood by puncturing the skin from inside his throat. So no, he is definitely not impenetrable inside as he is outside.

Both of those areas are relatively soft tissue compared to the connective tissues and muscle beneath the skin and they pointedly said he's nearly as tough on the inside as he is on the outside so everything seems pretty consistent to me.

It could be interesting from a symbolism point of view given that Nuke is ex military, ex police and extremely white, but he'd need a significant powerup. Nuke was only in Jessica's league because she'd just been run over.

I'm sure they could retcon the JJ reds as the old formula and handwave up some improvements based on recovered Hydra research or something. And yeah, Luke vs. military firepower would be interesting, him involved in something similar to Nuke's attack on Daredevil in Born Again could be pretty amazing.

Just finished Luke Cage and was really underwhelmed by the end. Cottonmouth was at least a somewhat compelling villain (though they actually developed his character weirdly late), Diamondback was just a useless psycho with a really lame "daddy loved you more than me" backstory. With Cottonmouth out of the way they sort of dropped the interesting "Luke Cage takes on Harlem's social parasites" and it sort of devolved into another punchyman spectacle. I think I was spoiled by Daredevil Season 1. The entire Fisk vs Daredevil arc was really well paced and developed, and had a very real grounding against the economics of gentrification. There was a lot of rich potential for that type of storytelling in Luke Cage but was pretty much dropped in favor of the supervillain theatrics.

After finishing episode 7 I've decided to give up on this show. I really wanted to like it but the pacing is really weird and they very clumsily try to subvert tropes by making the villains sympathetic. Bad cop lost his son who shot himself with his gun, bad cop dies in the same episode. Cottonmouth was forced to kill the only person who actually cared for him and he regrets it to this day, Cottonmouth dies in the same episode. This kind of information would have been useful earlier in the season instead of being thrown at you in the span of one episode just before the character is killed off. All that aside the acting never improved and it's overly preachy so whatever, can't like them all I suppose.

I feel like we really only started to know Cottonmouth as a person the episode he was killed off. We're given a few other tidbits in the late half of the series too. Hopefully we'll get a full exploring of Maria's character and she isn't just quickly killed off in season 2 to set up the new Big Bad. That said, I'm totally fine if Diamondback gets killed off by the Hand/Defenders' villain. But unfortunately, the end of S1 suggests that probably won't happen.

So did they ever explain where the "Cottonmouth" nickname came from? They established that he hated it, and I expected its origin to be in that flashback episode, but I don't remember it ever coming up. Was it because he worked for a guy named Diamondback? Or was that just a crazy coincidence. Also I agree with those saying the show really lost steam after Cottonmouth died.

When Luke is sitting outside Pop's, talking with Pop, Pop tells him how he got the nickname "Pop", and also tells him that Cornell used to run with Pop, and after he lost a tooth, Chico's dad called him "Cottonmouth", and it stuck.

I'm sure it was largely for the snake parallel between Diamondback and Cottonmouth, I think they reference this at some point.

I hope Mariah and Shades become more "shades of gray" villains in the second season or Defenders. In a way, Mariah already fit that position. Uneasy alliances, that sort of thing.

It's the direction? I think there's fewer long shots than they used in Luke Cage, and those just kinda make it look like two regular people fighting. This one's a lot of closeups and short cuts, makes it seem more frantic.

I'm almost done with this show and still trying to avoid reading spoiler stuff but holy poo poo is it disappointing that they killed Cottonmouth and replaced him with the blandest loving moustache-twirling Bible-quoting stereotypical evil half-brother motherfucker on the planet. I'm hoping this turns around.

This show has some real high points and some real flaws, and like all of Marvel Netflix should have been shorter. But I dig how they do these really tired cop show trope scenes about how Misty Knight is a loose canon who wrecked 30 cars, except they fill the scene with 4 black women and don't make a big deal out of it. It's refreshing.
