This shit was fucking great. Fuck people who get hung up on the all color-cast.
>Entire shows point is actual good honest black people calling niggers out for being niggers ruining their own neighborhood >Faithful to source material while updating it in a good way >Outstanding soundtrack >All star cast, albeit mostly black, daimondback's casting choice felt nearly perfect, like they would've chosen sam jackson 20 years earlier. >Last episode's big action scene is a friday-esque straight up fist fight, with the neighborhood cheering them on >Sets up a second season extremely well
Shit was 8/10 at the very least. Got me hyped for iron knight of roses even though i can not under stand the casting.
Let's get an actual discussion of this instead of resorting to the racist shit right away.
so no, we can't get an actual discussion going on. gotcha.
Nicholas Myers
Show is bad.
>only villains are black >white officers from the NYPD not the main villain >Luke Cage only deals with black on black crime, not hate crimes, oppressive whites or the corrupt police (infact he SAVES a known corrupt white officer) >focuses on stupid shit like "where the fathers at??" and lack of father figures instead of racial discrimination and oppression. >ending is dumb comic shit for nerds, two super powered people punching, yawn
Adam Jenkins
It was good but it drops the ball hard around episode 7. I struggled to keep watching.
Cameron Flores
>a show that isn't about hating whitey >2016 what were they thinking?
Christian Wright
jesus fucking christ, this show knows more about how the world works than this cucked generation
>hurr he should be fighting white people because they're the real racists and villains! the show had actual racism in it. it's just a bit more abstract then just blacks and whites. anyone who's actually experienced it would know this.
>ending is dumb comic shit for nerds, two super powered people punching, yawn the entire thing is dumb comic shit for nerds. same with daredevil. same with jessica jones.
gotta be bait.
Alexander Thompson
>All star cast, albeit mostly black, daimondback's casting choice felt nearly perfect diamond back was complete garbage in every single way not even a 'so-bad-it's-good' campy sort of way.
his relationship to luke was just so contrived and lame. cottenmouth was way more interesting.
Andrew Cook
Top kek
I like bait
Lucas Morales
everything here is bait
Ayden Fisher
cornell was more interesting because the actor made the character. in the actual comic book he's the lamest fucking shit, some guy with snake eyes and teeth who wasn't even that important.
Isaac Martin
desu
Daniel Young
The fact that the show didn't have some evil white man pulling the strings, that it didn't have evil white cops brutalizing black people, and that the black killers and criminals were depicted as having agency and bearing full responsibility for their own actions is the main reason I was able to enjoy it. It showed black dysfunction causing pain to black people, and the hero of the show was a total square who loved American ideals, hated the word nigga, and had no respect for "hustle" culture.
Thomas Brooks
I didn't care for Diamondback or Cottonmouth, but I liked Mariah's arc because it was funny to watch how deep in denial she was. She kept thinking she was the upstanding civil servant trying to do right by Harlem in a way her family had never done, but little by little she realized she was always exactly what she thought she had become better than.
Nathaniel Campbell
I can tell it's good because you had to write an essay explaining to strangers why you're preferences are correct.
That's not something insecure losers who require taste validation would ever do.
Andrew Murphy
The writing was all over the place. Usually having different writers for each episode works but it was way too obvious here.
Characters kept repeating arcs, like luke cage deciding to accept who he is about five times. The pacing was completely shot, which is why the programme ended up tailing off during the end. Though to be fair, the music and feel of it was great.
Andrew Sanchez
you post like cancer >shit was fucking great >hung up >shit was >hyped >let's...
Juan Sullivan
All the white people on the show were evil though, so at least it got that right.
Brayden Adams
Yeah, the show was entertaining, but it was trying too hard to push respectability politics as a solution to systemic racism.
Jace Richardson
>iron knight of roses
Is this referring to iron fist?
Jason Sanchez
I actually thought the pacing was good. The show didn't have the same high points that DD and JJ did, but it was a more consistent overall experience.
I didn't have a problem with Cottonmouth dying, I thought it was a pretty great death from an unexpected source. Diamondback was constantly hyped up as an uber-gangster throughout the first part of the show and when he finally arrived he was suitably evil. In fact he was one of the most believably evil characters I've seen on TV recently, pretty good performance from whatshisname.

as a tv series, BLACKED.com is better and each season gets better and better

how is ur wifes son?
Aiden Howard
I didn't like how the over-arching drama began because a couple of expendable side-characters behaved stupidly.
If those kids hadn't robbed Cottonmouth, and if Cottonmouth's goon hadn't decided to kill the surviving kid (and accidentally Pop) on his own, there'd be literally nothing. I would've preferred something more direct from Cottonmouth or Diamondback as the inciting incident.
>it didn't have evil white cops brutalizing black people
They weren't evil necessarily, but they did have cops brutalizing black kids which is what they do and white people seem to miss when reviewing the series.
The series is a more balanced look at things rather than making one side look like the bad guy that a lot of white-centric films tend to do.
Ayden Russell
Diamondback was the weakest part of Luke Cage, he wasn't all bad but the show had a quality drop after Cottonmouth died and this meme character appeared.
Gavin Russell
Shades was cute as fuck. no homo.
Dominic Butler
That graph doesn't explain anything about systemic racism. You are making a false equivalency there. Also, hate crimes committed by whites have gone not just against blacks, but against lots of other racial groups as well so that shit is super out of date.
Joseph Barnes
8/10. I found myself comparing it to Daredevil constantly... the fight scenes weren't as good but overall it was an awesome season 1, the music was always on point. I thought shades seemed like a bit of a faggot though.
Jose Miller
I know, OP. Everything just worked. I think this is probably the first MCU show (film or tv) that has something meaningful to say about the world around us, plus it doesn't fall in the sjw/hollywood liberal of, say, casting a Trump-like villain du jour.
John Jones
those faggots are always pandering to what the jews want though
Owen Taylor
Eh it got really boring when they killed Cottonmouth. Stryker was shit. The actress playing Misty is horrible. HORRIBLE! She can't act for shit and had way too much screen time.
Nathaniel Turner
Sorry, he's into GILFS
Angel Martin
ok. more waifu for me then
Sebastian Cox
Don't get me wrong, she is cute but she can't act for shit. She was always smiling, even when she was crying. I couldn't fucking stand it.
Blake Phillips
It was slow and boring. DD and Jessica had interesting plots and every episode was exciting.
Luke had some good moments in it, but even action was dull. I hope that in The Defenders he is more than just black tank. And maybe make season 2 interesting?
One thing I did like about Luke Cage was how openly he just swaggered about slapping negroes upside the head. Like, Daredevil is cool and all but he fights mostly in the dark and in a mask, and JJ seemed almost ashamed of her super strength.
It was pretty cool seeing a super-powered dude in street clothes slugging it out with a man in a cyber-suit on a street corner with crowds whooping and hollering all around them.
Gavin King
How is your self-victimisation politics going there, mate? Solve any issues yet? Or just create more? Why is any act by a cracker a hate crine but otherwise is just a crime? What interest do you have in pretending they are to blame and are the violent one when every single statistic in and out of the US shows otherwise? Stop regurgitating what your liberal dipshit professors shoved down your throat.
Zachary Gray
Yes. The actor also plays The Knight of Flowers in Game of Thrones.

Jace Smith
They are neo-nazis trying to bring everyone but white men down. Painting everyone but white men as victims from the day they were born. That's why a lot of black lives matter folks are so sensitive and easily triggered, they feel like they are inferior and worth less that white folks.
Don't fall for these neo-nazi tactics.

Jaxson Nguyen
The final fight scene missed a golden opportunity for someone yelling "WORLDSTAR!" at the top of his lungs.
Chase Thompson
Why did he assault the two officers that got caught on dash cam? He could've just took their car, they literally couldn't have done a thing to stop him.
Isaiah Peterson
first five episodes were good
it followed the same problem that dd, dd2 and jessica jones had by being over 5 episodes too long
Lincoln Flores
Wrong website.
Luke Robinson
calm down, it's okay. very good soundtrack.
Connor Nguyen
>Cast full of blacks and no niggers
How they do this?
Zachary Wilson
Should I watch this?
I'm getting bored by Netflix Marvel stuff, everything is so badly paced and loses steam in the last 5-6 episodes. I actually don't give a shit that it's a black protagonist or whatever /poltv/ cries about, but outside of Daredevil Season 1 I thought everything else was pretty shit.
Nathaniel Perez
I like the soundtrack and the dress style of cottonmouth is top notch.
Chase Reed
The show is pretty in line with a vast amount of Cred Forums's politics actually. Remember, Cred Forums isn't just "muh naahzees".
Also, it's actually good altough it had it's issues, particularly from mid to end some people have made some criticism.
