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

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latvia


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

No, I have industrial deafness.

Not dumbness.

Unlike most Americans I actually paid attention in geography and history.

I also read books.


I swear he said Latvarian, and I assumed Latvian in marvel universe would ostensibly be Latvaria and not Latvia. But I rewatched with subtitles, he says Latvian, not latvarian.

Spoiler

But WHAT IF, they actually mean Latvaria and we are gonna get Dr.Doom on screen as actually Dr.Doom with the awesome suit from the old days.

Is that a white guy at the beginning of episode 5? He's not following the don't system.

Edit: oh nevermind it's jidenna apparently.

 

[Loxley]

Ep. 5 -

Spoiler

Laughed my ass off when Cage lightly slapped the dude in the head and knocked him out to get the girl's money back.

Half way through and really enjoying it so far. The pacing feels like it's half-way between the more action-heavy approach of Daredevil and trudging boredom of Jessica Jones (though leaning more towards Daredevil, thankfully). As others have said, the music is fucking great, it definitely helps in giving the show it's own vibe compared to other Marvel productions. The cast as usual is on-point, I'm particularly enjoying Simone Missick as Misty. I hope she gets more high-profile roles after this, she's really charismatic and enjoyable to watch.

Also, not to sound like a horny teenager but...god damn the women on this show.

 

[KeyBladerXIII]

Watching right now, does anyone else think that Zip dude has really weird facial expressions?

 

[jerry113]

I was not expecting a show with marvel in the title to be this niggerish

like for real not prepared

i cant help but cracked up at this

 

[Admiral Woofington]

When are they giving this

Spoiler

nurse

her own show, she seems to have the power to be in every show.

 

[Sanjuro]

New York media.

Where people drink coffee from any place, any where, at any time.

 

[Gorillaz]

Spoiler

nurse

At this point I assume she will be the thing that brings them together for the Defenders series. Probably going to do a Coulson send off which will have them rally together.

 

[funkystudent]

Watched the first episode and liked it.

More character in Luke here then all of his spots in Jessica Jones.



Oh and wise old barber is totally going to be killed mid season. I just know it.

 

[Admiral Woofington]

I'm waiting for McNutty and the Bunk to appear in the marvel universe with the amount of wire folks in this

 

[fallengorn]

Just finished it. Overall, I think it has the best consistency out of all the Netflix shows, but Daredevil definitely had bigger highs.

I guess that for the start of Defenders

Spoiler

it's basically going to get Luke out of Seagate.

 

[jmood88]

I'm waiting for McNutty and the Bunk to appear in the marvel universe with the amount of wire folks in this

They had Butchie show up to basically just say hi to Luke, so Bunk and Mcnulty (and Omar) have to show up at some point.

 

[Davidion]

Mahershala Ali is real good in this.

End of episode 3 was a bit over the top though...

 

[Vic_Viper]

Do they really need to show the Malcolm X Blvd sign 3 times in the opening lol.

Episode 4 so far was my favorite. Perfect way to do a quick

Spoiler

Origin Story

 

[KeyBladerXIII]

Holy shit at Episode 7...wow.

 

[bounchfx]

just finished episode 11. This shit is great. The fact that it's not overtly a 'super hero' show is precisely what makes it so compelling. Great characters and music.

 

[Speely]

The more I watch the more I am convinced that Mariah is the most interesting character in this show.

 

[IdreamofHIME]

Who's

Spoiler

the guy in the supermarket that's being robbed that everyone seems to know?
Did he appear in an earlier episode? I don't remember him.

 

[Admiral Woofington]

That spanglish with the Mami uber might have been the most realistic depiction of it I've ever seen lmao. Their whole interaction is exactly like the spanglish of my family.

Method Man. And no, I don't believe he was in an earlier episode.

Spoiler

When you say supermarket, I'm guessing you mean bodega and I'm guessing you're talking about Method Man.

 

[Jobbs]

So in episode 7 or whatever

Spoiler

he was fighting that dude with the big gun, and for some reason even though his skin is still impenetrable, normal punches hurt him like crazy? like why wouldn't teh guy break his hand or break his foot when he punched and kicked him like in episode 1? whatever, I can accept that comic book/video game type logic, but a bit later in the fight we see him basically win. he throws the guy out of the building and stands there. so I thought, okay, fight over.

then next time we cut to these characters somehow the guy has the gun back and he's standing there and shoots luke. so luke just left him alone with the gun so he could come back and kill him? why is he so stupid?

and misty has been smart and on top of everything all series, and even seems to know that luke didn't kill cottonmouth, then suddenly she's stupid? why? and why are we spending 10 hours watching her go over her feelings? I don't know.

the show was really well edited and written in the first few episodes but it just fell off a cliff.

 

[ZeroX03]

How bad is the Netflix bloat?

 

[IdreamofHIME]

Spoiler

Method Man. And no, I don't believe he was in an earlier episode.

Spoiler

Cool.

Spoiler

I thought he was a show character with a radio show or something that I had missed, didn't catch them saying he was a real life celebrity. That's kinda jarring.

 

[Rumblebones]

Episode 5 minor spoiler question.

Spoiler

The performing artist at the start references Obama in his lyrics. Ain't there a different prez in the MCU?

 

[Maximo]

How bad is the Netflix bloat?

Its still there better then JJ and DD however.

 

[Admiral Woofington]

Man I'm starting episode 7 and this show feels like it could end in maybe this or the next episode and you're telling me there are still 6 more? Jesus christ

 

[Maintenance]

Just watched episode 7 and right now I'm halfway through episode 8, the story quality went downhill fast.

Does it go back up or I better buckle up for a mess?

 

[Sanctuary]

Funny you mention that because I pretty much see Diamondback as the Joker but if he was a preacher.

Guy is a total psycho and his plans without planning work way too well.

He may have existed in the comics long before McFarlane created this character, but every time he was on screen, I couldn't help but think of Chapel.

 

[Jobbs]

Just watched episode 7 and right now I'm halfway through episode 8, the story quality went downhill fast.

Does it go back up or I better buckle up for a mess?

no shit. it became such a mess. early on we had strong editing and writing to fill the void caused by the show not having an interesting main character, and now there's not much to go on because it descended into utter schlock

 

[RedRum]

Dude.. the FUCKING MUSIC IS AMAZING.

 

[Wallach]

It picks back up a bit. I said the same thing in the spoiler thread, episode 8 stuck out as the low point to me in a big way.

 

[Jobbs]

Dude.. the FUCKING MUSIC IS AMAZING.

what's the freaking song in episode 7 or 8 that the old dudes on stage are playing while shades watches from the window?

that song was beyond dope.

 

[tmarg]

You've seen the best of it, but I felt the whole thing is worth watching.

SHHHH. I just finished with episode 1. LOL.

 

[IdreamofHIME]

How bad is the Netflix bloat?

It's a great show, but 3 episodes could have been trimmed easily. Maybe more, but it definitely takes its foot of the gas in the middle for a while.
Not as bad a JJ though, that show would have been perfect with half the episodes.

 

[Baroquemantic]

He may have existed in the comics long before McFarlane created this character, but every time he was on screen, I couldn't help but think of Chapel.

I now want a new Spawn movie or TV show.

Spoiler

Diamondback was aiming most of his punches and kicks at Luke's wound, I doubt DB was hitting him full force at his wound enough to break his hand, he doesn't need to at that point to hurt Luke either. Also, since Luke was wounded he was very off balance so basically anything was going to tip him over or stumble him.

As far as Misty, I think she's just in her feeling about her partner, and pretty much taking an L at every new development. Also being under investigation because of her partner and her job is on the line. She's basically having a breakdown indicated by the fact she was choking Claire.

 

[RedRum]

The animated version (I think it was HBO back in the 90s) was amazing.

Oh God damn. Not again. I'm onto episode 4 and it's quite enjoyable so far

 

[Baroquemantic]

[Admiral Woofington]

Even it it completely shits the bed at least I enjoyed it more than Jessica Jones

 

[Dram]

Quick question. In episode twelve Turk and Shades both say Romeo would be disappointed by Zip for working with

Spoiler

Diamondback

. I don't remember who Romeo is though, does anyone know what part he played in the show?

 

[Banderdash]

The music is just amazing all the way through.

But, damn, does it get more and more preachy as it goes along.

Spoiler

That Seagate beard may have been the worst looking fake beard I've seen in a long ass time.

 

[bounchfx]

actually yeah, is there a place to get the OST?

 

[Baroquemantic]

Just went back to the episode. It was 9. The song is Stop and Look - The Delfonics.

 

[KeyBladerXIII]

Episode 5 minor spoiler question.

Spoiler

The performing artist at the start references Obama in his lyrics. Ain't there a different prez in the MCU?

The MCU is a sham!

From what I've read, people just seem to justify it by saying Obama won in 2008 but Ellis won in 2012. *shrugs*

Stopped for the day at Episode 8.

Spoiler

I miss Cottonmouth already and this Diamondback dude is shit. Hopefully Shades is the final boss and he has a secret ability.

 

[Puck Beaverton]

Finished. These Marvel shows continue to fall apart in the back half. Still prefer how Jessica Jones at least tried to tackle issues like rape in a superhero-ish show. Music in this show was nice at least. Oh Misty Knight is way cooler than Cage.

Raningss for those who give a shit
1. Jessica Jones
2. Daredevil S1
3. Luke Cage
4. Daredevil S2

 

[guek]

I'm on episode 8. Supposedly this is the tipping point? The show has been rock solid thus far.
