Luke Cage (Netflix)

will watch but season one was underwhelming

I'd be keen on season 2, but they really need to get a better villain. Honestly, Cottonmouth was much more enjoyable than his cow of a cousin, or Diamondback. At least, IMO. I did like Shades, though.

Unfortunately, based on the s1 ending, we will be getting more lame-a** Diamondback in the future.

Yeah not really interested at this point, but will probably watch anyway as it's part of the Netflix shared Universe.

Hopefully, since this will be after Iron Fist, Defenders, Punisher and more Jessica Jones and Daredevil there will be a lot more to choose from to create a story that's not quite as linear and predictable as the first season. I still like Luke Cage and I thought they had a decent cast, just the plot and the writing left it down since I think they could have condensed all that into 6 - 8 episodes.

The thing about Diamondback that pissed me off is that Luke has an actual 100% biological brother named Coldfire who got powers of his own to take Luke out. I think it would have been more enjoyable to keep that storyline intact than use it and switch in Diamonback for Coldfire.

Season 2 now filming

"Responding to the call for more women directors in television, Netflix has tapped Lucy Liu to helm the Season 2 premiere of Luke Cage.

Liu has five previous directing credits, including the 2011 sex-trafficking film Meena, one episode of USA Network’s drama Graceland, and, most recently, four episodes of Elementary."

I'm really hoping they picked her because they genuinely liked her previous directing work, and not because she has a vagina. Considering that I have lost a job because of position quota-related BS before, that kind of crap annoys the hell out of me.

Looks like they've casted Bushmaster and Nightshade for Season 2:

We'll also be getting an Iron Fist team up in S2, based on a recently released image. Hopefully it will be better than JJ S2.

Show adapted Living Weapon series Danny, so I dunno.

That's the one written by a Canadian SJW, who called him one of the most privileged people on Earth in an interview, and had a five year old girl and a woman reporter show him up.

It won’t take much to be better than IF season 1 and JJ S2.

A few clips of Misty with her arm, Cage survives a diesel truck Explosion, and we get to see a few clips of Bushmaster fighting Cage. Bushmaster looks intense and unhinged imo

Hot damn, Bushmaster already looks like a beast. Two hits from him seemed to f*** Luke up worse than an Iron Fist did.

I wonder what Bushmaster's motivations are in this season. Its clear he's going after Black Mariah, but they haven't really hinted at why. He also knocks down a large security door, tanks a bullet to his eye, and catches a punch by Luke and makes him wince with pain as he squeezes his hand

Look again, it actually looks like he dodges the bullet. His head suddenly snaps to the side, out of its way, while we are still in the slowmo.

Trailer looks good, but man after a decent start S1 just ended up being such a huge disappointment.

Problem with S1 was that Cottonmouth was such an interesting and charismatic villain. And then they killed him off (in a garbage way to boot) and gave us the idiot with daddy issues as a final antagonist. And it was made all the worse by the fact that Diamondback was heavily hyped before he finally appeared, and then ended up being a disappointment. I personally still liked Season 1 overall though, but it did slump a bit towards the end.

But Mariah and Shades are good, and look like they will be playing a more prominent role this time around. So, if Bushmaster can pull it off, it could make for an interesting season.

^ Oh I really disliked it after Cottonmouth went.

And outright hated it after Diamondback came into it.

But yeah will still give S2 a shot.
