Netflix Luke Cage

How does Sup Forums feel about Netflix Luke Cage being this soft spoken sensitive black guy from Georgia instead of being a loud brash black dude from Harlem like in the comics Sup Forums?

It's okay - the 1970's version is probably a bit OTT for modern audiences - so this version worked wonderfully.

>soft spoken sensitive
>a nuBlack

I enjoyed it. It had a good balance of camp and seriousness, which is what I want out of my superhero series.

>if it's Netflix, it's good
No, anons.

I think I would have enjoyed it more if Mike Colter could actually act.

For fucks sake I know there isn't a wellspring of big black male actors in Hollywood but was he seriously the best they could get?

It's shit. They should have had Lucas Cage be a 70s nigga that was out of the water for the first season. Make him as loud and obnoxious as possible and slowly move him towards the nuBlack guy he is now.

But normies don't know who he is so go figure and would go MUH RACISM because sub-urban whites.

I liked it, but I wished Luke Cage would shit talk the bad guys more often.

I don't mind the soft spoken version of him the show makes, but I'd like him to crack a few one liners or shit talk the bad guys or something.

I loved every minute of Cottonmouth.
The guy stole the best Netflix villain from Kingpin with ease and it's too bad he had to die.

best Netflix villain title
Damnit.

This. It ain't bad, but I'd like it if Netflix Luke had a bit more of a mouth.

>nuBlack
>"The New Black doesn't blame other races for our issues," said Pharrell, one of the world's most successful musicians, to Oprah, billionaire queen of the world. "The New Black dreams and realises that it's not pigmentation: it's a mentality and it's either going to work for you or it's going to work against you. And you've got to pick the side you're going to be on."

What is taste?
Does it differ?
Is it subjective?

maybe he'll grow into Sassy Luke Cage

Those particular changes seemed unneeded and were some of the weaker parts that got dwelled on.

LONG LIVE DA CHIEF

>Colter takes credit for his character’s belabored distaste for “nigga.” “I remember talking to [Coker] about it, and I was adamant that Luke was not a person that used that language,” Colter said. “He needs to be someone we can aspire to be. And I felt like, if he was the kind of guy that used that language all the time, like someone on the street corner who didn’t respect himself or the people around him, then he, in a sense, had lost already, had given up.”

Tfw a Luke Cage adaptation is the most Conservative capeshit right now.

It disappointed me.
I was also disappointed that this show had to steal a bunch of Iron Fist's supporting cast instead of using characters from his original run like DW, Flea, Mimi Jenks or Gadget.

Really good choice on Colter's part, Luke just doesn't sound right using foul language.
If a dude's famous for saying "Sweet Sister!" it's probably because he's making a concious effort not to curse.

That's why they should've hired Raimi as a showrunner.

>Sweet Sister

yeah thats what he says

I like nuBlack Luke Cage but comic Cage does use N word in Alias and the MAX miniseries.

>If a dude's famous for saying "Sweet Sister!" it's probably because he's making a concious effort not to curse.

Ignoring you messing up his catch phrase, he literally is. One book had him casually mention that his grandmother would smack him if she caught him swearing, so he started doing that as a kid. Sort of like how Richard Rider said "Blue Blazes".

Yeah but both of those are poorly written and Luke acts like an entirely different character in both of them. MAX was a mistake.

>Alias
What a surprise, another character badly written by Bendis.

I've found both Daredevil and Cage have huge pacing issues, Jones to a somewhat lesser extent.

Part of this comes from not making each episode important or self sufficient, no doubt a result of the 'binge' consumption modle

42 minute cape shows always have pacing issues. Even the Justice League cartoon before Unlimited.

> Clap along if you feel like happiness is the truth

Black is not a choice, Nigger is.

Jeph Loeb saw him in a lift and "fancaste him, right there and just hoped he could act the part. Colter has (from what I've seen) low range, though. People harp on Foggy, but he got better second season. Lets see if it's the same said for him.

This, best of both world. MCULuke makes me think where's his personality?

I'm three episodes in, and I'm really enjoying it. But then again, I haven't read a Power Man comic in my life, so take from that what you will.

This explains a bit why he's not from Harlem, but I still wish he was.
>Jessica Jones, man.

"Pull the trigger, nigga, I ain't got all night" sums it up for me.

Thats just a inherent issue with the episode length.
If you went over them with a bunch of good shears, most of them would go down to 10 or 15 minutes.
Its like the curse of 40 minute live action television.

Everyone there is a darker, edgier version of themselves.

Luke Cage is dramatically inert for most of its run.

>Great article, but mind the caps. Luke Cage section is further down, but it's build from the previous section.

The irony is that Luke is still less inert than Daredevil or Jessica Jones.

Just not very good. The bad guys are all boring, his powers end up being useless by the end of the series, and the soft spoken thing just isn't cage. On top of that they attempted to be political and had no idea what to do with that.

...

It's not a film and it hasn't aired on television

The contrast between him and Danny will be lessened, which is ashame. They're both "soft spoken" outsiders from New York. I mean...

>He's probably get more of that "traditional" PMIF contrast with Misty.

They sucked the personality out of him to make him a black Steve Rogers.

>Comic is called "Hero for Hire"
>Spends the entire series assuring us that he is neither a hero nor for hire
0/10

Can't entirely disagree with this, but that's also extremely arbitrary. You'll likely call anyone you don't like a nigger anyway, so is it really a choice?

I'm convinced Iron Fist and Luke Cage (the shows) will conjoin anyway, so that doesn't bother me

I don't even mind the not-a-hero-for-hire (yet) bit, if the series wasn't mostly shit.

>power of impenetrable skin
OK, fine. This should be a great series to highlight how having super powers doesn't automatically make your life better and that the real struggles, like uplifting your community, aren't easy to achieve through just violence
>alien bullets can hurt him, and they're gonna be everywhere
Fuck you.
>Diamondhead wants Cage to die, but shoots him once in the chest when he totally could have killed him there as easily as possible
I feel like I'm either missing some motivation about Diamondhead wanting to draw out a conflict with Cage, or that's just a terribly shot sequence
>2-episode long explanation of powers from scientist, tiara/disco-shirt joke
Fuck you.
>"I loved the idea of her"
Maximum cringe

Niggers have to be the noble savage almost all the time now or white liberals will have a meltdown.

>If a dude's famous for saying "Sweet Sister!"
Sweet Christmas, user

I like both. Shocking, I know.

Alternate universe, who cares

loved Jessica Jones, and his character was about the best part of the show, tried really hard to like this show, it was just too blaxploitation for me. couldn't get into it.

>Family Fortunes "No" soundbite

Luke Cage is getting a second season, but H4H maybe established there.

He says both, and said Sweet Sister a lot more in the orginal "Hero for Hire" solo.

He's said both.

I'm not saying they'll conjoin right away. Chances are Luke Cage will only get 2 seasons. Maybe that's why they felt the need to cram Cage's villains into one season

Yes exactly Netflix Luke was the older responsible more thoughtful character who comics Luke has grown into. Not the original 70s loudmouth.

So he's bendis era Luke?

Blech.

Is there any point though, when we hasn't really saw that growth. It's could be part of why is feels so static as a character.

He's not even Bendis!Cage.

It's a choice if you choose to go through life being angry, ignorant and destructive so yes, yes it is. I could care less what anyone calls me because if it's not what I am then It doesn't hurt me.

>Sweet Sister

They didn't do that because then they would have to show how fucked up and ignorant ghetto people really are which goes against the current liberal narrative.

>could care less
Nigger.

>Luke just doesn't sound right using foul language
Goddamnit, Jess!

Thank you for enlightening me on my grammatical error. Have a good day, sir.

The only good thing about this book is that joke about tombstone's lisp

>that joke about tombstone's lisp
It's got several amusing bits here and there; but it's been pretty forgettable overall.

Daredevil is getting a third, so it remains to be seen. Luke has quite a few unused Villains, I think the ones that we had were included, because they needed to fill out the plot. Iron Fist is said to have the most antagonists in the show. Hey, he needs people to fight, not just threw words.

*through

Does everybody find everybody else more interesting than Luke? Sad state when the lead is getting over shadowed by the support.

That's usually what happens when your protagonist is stoic and the antagonists are all different shades of bombastic.

Luke Cage was literally "Pull Your Damn Pants Up: The Show" Basically every problem in the community is caused by trifling niggas being stupid and not classy like Luke.

They really should've saved Diamondback for season 2. I liked what they were trying to do with The Black Mariah and Cottonmouth, but it could've transitioned a little better.

Cottonmouth is hands down one of the top 5 villains in the MCU currently. I actually sympathized and enjoyed his charisma.

Wish he would've died a better way.

All in all, wish they didn't rush it at the end and made Diamond Back a lot more cooler than a dude with a gun. Had more fun with Cottonmout than him.

Eh that came off cringe worthy and too preachy.

Luke Cage as a pleasent and well-meaning outsider worked better in the context of the show

I wasn't saying it to compliment the show.

Toombthtone doethn't lithp.
He's speaking in a hushed whisper.

Well, I´ll be dammed...

>Somebody's had this man --and good

What is the context of this?

While I do agree to a certain degree, usually this starts with good intention and ends out being horribly executed. Because at some point the term becomes liberally used as anyone you don't like.

Which use to be one of my biggest issues with former friends.

It was the mentality of:
>"I don't like them, but I do like the ones like, user."

In which I already knew this one bullshit and in the instance I do something remotely unpleasant, then i'm casted aside. It almost makes you live in the constant validation of people this, which is why you're better off separating yourself.

Either way, the word never offended me.

I mean part of that statement describes various others of different background.

Depending on your political affiliation you're angry at something and in that case you're most likely ignorant of something as well.

Personally, a bit disappointed.

In fact his entire backstory is a lot less interesting to me in this version.
I liked the idea of his dad being a cop you broke contact with him when he was acting out and got arrested.
I liked Diamonback as his dickhole ex friend who went too deep in crime and framed him.
I like Reva as just a woman who convinced him to walk the straight and narrow who was killed because Diamondback was an asshole.

The fact that most of this background stuff came out after they killed Cottonmouth and replaced him with less compelling antagonists didn't help.

Bendis Luke Cage isn't worth fucking caring about.

He's essentially the black guys in cuckold porn- There to be black and fuck white women in the ass.

It sucked and shouldn't be getting a second season.
