>According to critics, this show is groundbreaking in every way, from its much-needed representations of race to its reverent use of sound. Each review praises the show’s ability to balance violence with levity, and notes that the show is considerably less gritty than its counterparts, in a good way. Introducing Harlem as a new setting adds a much-needed fresh environment to the MCU TV canon, and apparently it’s been done impeccably. Harlem is iconic in its own right, yet introducing Cage’s story in the upper Manhattan neighborhood amplifies his story, rather than overshadowing it. Get ready for Based Cafe
>the show is considerably less gritty than its counterparts That's pretty surprising. I would've figured it'd be moreso.

Yep.
Jeremiah Gray
Yeah...are they downplaying the struggle?
Cooper Nguyen
Hate to admit it, but Marvel can do no wrong at this point. Can't wait
Colton Evans
Woah, a show with a black person? Truly groundbreaking.
How did Based Marvel make both the first show about a woman (JJ), AND the first show about a Person of Color?
Truly incredible.
Hudson Jackson
Hype
They were only shown the first 7 episodes, so maybe it picks up.

>from its much-needed representations of race Why does everything have to be about race? Why does race have to be mentioned first? What if a show is good but conservative instead of progressive, will critics and reviewers consider it a flow? Probably they will. Anyway, I have high hopes for the show too, since Daredevil and Jessica Jones have been great so far (ok, maybe second season Daredevil not so great where the Punisher wasn't concerned but still better than every other series out there imho.)
>and notes that the show is considerably less gritty than its counterparts... That's not good. If we don't want gritty, there's the rest of the MCU. If we want to be a realistic, where people like Luke Cage are involved, it must be gritty. >... in a good way Let's just hope so...

Oh boy I can't wait for the new installment of the Marlel Quippiverse
Jonathan Morgan
The idea itself is something I've wanted to see for a long time: a Harlem hero fighting villains in the projects with a rap soundtrack, but taking itself seriously and not devolving into a comedy.
Asher Phillips
IT WAS IN PRODUCTION BEFORE BLM EXISTED
Wyatt Collins
>Why does everything have to be about race?
because all of the Avengers were white people, directed by the white Joss Whedon
Kevin Walker
That sounds like SHIT.
No it wasn't.
Jackson Rodriguez
Fuck.... Wait, no. The villain is black too. I don't think they'll turn it into BLM thing. Come on, don't ruin it, netflix. It will be a shame after how great Daredevil was.
Easton Morales
Yes it was you fucking idiot it was announced with the rest of the Defenders line YEARS before BLM existed how daft are you
Kayden Gomez
This is actually a complain?

Anthony Parker
even though it might be a fantasy movie, it's a little unrealistic to pretend the whole world is just nothing but white guys and the only black man on the planet is Samuel L Jackson
Jeremiah Nelson

americucks will defend this
Kayden Gray
i hope he has a talking dog sidekick
Lincoln Powell
Forget it user, people are going to see what they want in this series to suit their own reality
Jacob Scott
Would one be upset if Samuel L Jackson represented the entire race?
Brandon Walker
>the Avengers >4 Americans >a Norse god >a Russian spy >a slav slut >it's unrealistic they're white
are you for real?
Dominic Cooper
And he shouldn't have been black because Nick Fury is white.
See, this is pretty racist. Liberals are the racists. They're the ones who bring race into this. Avengers was a fun movie and now you're telling me it wasn't like, not because there was some flaw in the movie but because not enough people were black. That's racist because they make it about races when it's not. It's not fair for the conservative people to get called racists when they react to the actual racism that comes from the liberals.
Chase Fisher
Good one
Jackson Brooks
What is so racist about having a black guy on screen for a few minutes?
Camden Baker
To be fair Nick Fury has been both. They just went with Ultimate Nick who was basically Samuel L Jackson already
Colton Kelly
If liberals are the real racists, why are conservatives the ones running a racist for president?
Bentley Smith
Not him but Hillary made notorious racist comments, so get off your high horse with that shit man
Jack Scott
>everything have to be about race? One Marvel show has race as a major component. Fuck off.
>What if a show is good but conservative instead of progressive, will critics and reviewers consider it a flow? Probably they will. Nice victim complex.
You have no idea what you're talking about. Fuck off back to Sup Forums.
Tyler Jenkins
>What is so racist about having a black guy on screen for a few minutes? Nothing at all. Make them protagonists too for all I care and give them all the screen time... well, so long as in the source material which their characters come from, they were not something different.
But people complaining about no black people in a movie, are racist. Racism is not just about disliking black people and calling them niggers. Racism is about disliking anything at all because of a racial issue, and disliking a movie like the Avengers because there weren't alot black people in it, it's exactly that, racist.
Carter Thompson
>why are conservatives the ones running a racist for president? They are? Who? The polls aren't showing anybody anywhere near Hillary.
Ethan Ortiz
>What if a show is good but conservative instead of progressive
Then you know it's time to wake up.
Gotta feel sorry for the writers, they can't go full Fuck Da Police because it won't play commercially won't let them and they can't do black gang violence because it's not PC (although it would play commercially).
Elijah Fisher
Trump literally wants to build a wall to keep Mexicans out and wants to ban Muslims. Nothing that Hillary has said in the past compares to that shit.
William Richardson
But how could you make a movie that takes place in America and just act like there's no minorities around at all? It's the United States.
Unless your movie is about a KKK rally, there ought to be plenty of people of color present
Cameron Hughes
The whole world is not USA. I'm not American. I don't have to apologize for Trump. I don't even know what's all the big fuss is about with him, I haven't been following him and I don't care to.
Logan Cooper
>Racism is about disliking anything at all because of a racial issue, and disliking a movie like the Avengers because there weren't alot black people in it, it's exactly that, racist.
I think you should look up the definition of racism. And not the one that Sup Forums or Fox News spoonfed you.
Dylan Bennett
He seems to get great joy in pissing people off.
Josiah Baker
Wanting to put blacks in jail is essentially the same thing as keeping out the Mexicans and the Muslims. Only difference is it's actually a lot more viable than building a wall across an entire continent
Oliver Morris
Then why are you in a thread clearly discussing American politics and social issues raised by an American series set in America?
Samuel Scott
Do I need to watch Jessica Jones for this?
Jaxon Collins
rac·ism ˈrāˌsizəm/Submit noun the belief that all members of each race possess characteristics or abilities specific to that race, especially so as to distinguish it as inferior or superior to another race or races. prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against someone of a different race based on the belief that one's own race is superior.
Andrew Sullivan
Not racist, but she did gleefully make jokes about Ghadaffi getting tortured to death.
Lincoln Thompson
Doesn't look like it.
Wyatt Cox
You'll get more out of it if you do. All the shows build on one another and Luke played a big part in JJ.
Justin Lee
>from its much-needed representations of race
Dropped.
Dominic Price
If I remember correctly it actually mostly takes place before he met her, and anything in current era MCU that may feature her or Iron Fist will be "flash forward" sequences
