Does the show deal with police brutality and institutional racism? I know this was asked last week but the episodes had not been released yet.

No.

 

[Ithil]

As for our first loud outburst from the villain, I believe the ranking thus far in Netflix goes:

1.

Spoiler

MY NAME IS NOT COTTONMOUTH

2. YOU EMBARRASSED ME IN FRONT OF HER
3. JESSICAAAAAAAA

We'll see what Iron Fist's villain has to loudly say on the matter.

 

[Escape Goat]

Wow looks like my opinion is different to most. Two episodes in and it's easily the worst netflix marvel series. I'll keep going but so far very disappointed.

I just finished the first episode and I'm surprised they didn't do more to hook people with the first episode. Everyone is kind of asleep in their roles right now.

 

[Itchy//Tasty]

Huh. Luke Cage's Wikipedia page says that Dave Franco plays him. Someone's having a laugh!

Three eps in, loving the show so far.

 

[Rice-Eater]

Man I really want to see Luke and Cap do the epic handshake from Predator. Except Luke gets the better of Cap.

 

[Seesaw15]

Marvel ain't shit.

 

[Da-Kid]

I'm only to Episode 4 so don't spoil but..

Spoiler

Luke's durability is pretty insane, I'd put him about as durable as Iron Man in his best suit. Some of his durability feats:

-Survived being blown up point blank (Jessica Jones)
-Survive a damnthere direct hit with a RPG and a building falling on him.
-Gunshots do no damage from a range, very small discomfort up close if any at all.
-Being set on fire does zeelch.

He's about 3x above Captain America in durability and strength. But his actual strength as far as what he can lift has yet to be determined.

Ep 7:

Spoiler

Oh shit, that was one hell of a turning point. So much for being bulletproof

 

[Moaradin]

I'm not expecting anything like Daredevil but please tell me the action scenes are at least better than Jessica Jones? That show managed to make JJ and Luke Cage's powers look lame every time they used them.

Episode 6

Haha, Perez is so gullible. I mean c'mon bruh. That play was so obvious.

Dayum, that reporter played her ass. So good.

So scary, out of no where for Luke. It's been building up for the audience but right when things seemed like it was safe it gets dangerous again.

The action is better than JJ, but don't go in thinking he's gonna be doing some UFC stuff. Luke is essentially a tank. To an average person he's a force of nature, he goes forward YOU MOVE or rag dolled.

 

[Sadist]

Watched the first two episodes; that ending! Sweet Christmas!

Seriously going to enjoy this. Can't wait to continue after the weekend.

As long as there isn't any scenes like every time JJ used her super jumps, I'm good.

 

[GamingOblivion]

So the show is good?

 

[B-B-Bomba!]

Only watched the first episode so far and will stick with it. For now I'm distracted that the lead actor really can't act that well at all. Is it just me?

 

[Da-Kid]

As long as there isn't any scenes like every time JJ used her super jumps, I'm good.

Oh no, you don't get cut aways or anything like that.

Worst marvel show by far and regret watching all the episodes Both acting and writing are really poor.

What bad acting? I'm not seeing this complaint.

 

[Chase17]

Episode 3
Boy, that escalated quickly

 

[Ploid 3.0]

I already feel like I might rewatch the whole thing after I'm done.

 

[nubbe]

episode 3 ending was hilarious

Hm this is a first. Though I'm really confused at how you can say that when AoS seasons 1-3 exist.

Cottonmouth has got the same fuckin' lawyer as Wilson Fisk. LOL.

So I don't want to start ranking or anything yet, but at the moment Luke Cage is top tier for the Netflix shows.

Also, that Invisible Man nod in the first ep. 👍

When I saw that, I was like, "Of course."

My ranking:

Daredevil S02
Luke Cage
Jessica Jones
Daredevil S01

 

[Anung]

Dude when Rosario shows up my heart skipped a beat <3

 

[Inceptional]

I was actually digging it when it was just a cornball gangster tale in the first 12 episodes but what the fuck happened in the 13th? It wasn't just an awful ending to the season but it upped the corny level to heights I'm unwilling to go to.

Spoiler

The whole fight with his bro, mixed with the flashbacks was just ridiculous. The fact that everyone was just standing around watching this fight, giving interviews and commentary while it was still going on just a few feet away, wtf?! I felt like I was watching a CW show all of a sudden. And what the fuck was up with that suit, he looked like Meteor Man

?!

Sorry, I actually think this show was pretty good, it just whiffed the landing so hard that I'm not even sure where the show goes from here.

Also,

Spoiler

that final kiss between Luke and Rosario was awkward as fuuuuuck

.

Daredevil S1
Luke Cage
Jessica Jones
The rest of Daredevil S2

Not Latveria. Latvia, as you know, the actual country:

Then again, i understand if you went to an amercian school.

 

[Sgt. Kabukiman]

Did they actually mention Latveria?
I think I heard Latvia at some point, but that's an actual country.

Edit: beaten.

If you mean the comment from the guy at the table, he said

"Latvia", which is an actual country.

Or did I miss something else?

Yeah, it's awesome.

 

[Harmen]

Really digging the show (halfway ep 5)! Pacing is a tad slow for me at times, but other than that I have no complaints thus far.

I'm only to Episode 4 so don't spoil but..

Spoiler

Luke's durability is pretty insane, I'd put him about as durable as Iron Man in his best suit. Some of his durability feats:

-Survived being blown up point blank (Jessica Jones)
-Survive a damnthere direct hit with a RPG and a building falling on him.
-Gunshots do no damage from a range, very small discomfort up close if any at all.
-Being set on fire does zeelch.

He's about 3x above Captain America in durability and strength. But his actual strength as far as what he can lift has yet to be determined.

I agree he is very, very durable. But

Spoiler

Iron Man? I don't think I agree. In his best suit IM took on the Hulk and the non-hulkbuster suits had to endure a lot more than an RPG or collapsing building. Hell, during the first battle as IM in the first film Stark gets shot down by a direct hit from a tank and crashes in the ground from a great height, which barely did anything to the suit.

 

[styl3s]

They should do Ironfist, than have Ironfist and Luke's season 2 be Heroes for Hire

Honestly i would love for them to just make Luke Cage and Iron Fist 1 season runs to give you their backstory/origin and their comeup and then just just start doing a Luke Cage and Iron Fist: Heroes for Hire season 1, season 2, season 3 etc.

Instead of doing 26 between the 2 every year they can use that budget to make a new Marvel show because as far as im concerned Netflix should be running all fucking Marvel shows.

Cap is a better fighter, but Luke Cage is stronger and more durable. I think Luke would whup Cap's ass. We'll never find out though because reasons.

Nah, if Luke got knocked out by a shotgun blast (Jessica Jones) I think Cap could outsmart him.
