I finished watching my second run of Luke Cage. I might like it even more now. It is so good and it is sooo black! The wait for Panther hurts.
He enjoys being black too much
I've heard the phrase "unapologetically black" thrown around.
I enjoyed the first half up until

He wobbles around in his blackness
I don't dislike it. I just don't think it was good.
Cottonmouth was the best part of the show by far.
He really was. Dude reminded me of the main guy from John Wick. He may be the boss but he knows that there are rules and you have to respect those rules. Also
one of his subordinates kills someone important to the protagonist, who rejects any attempts to make up for it opts to bring down the antagonist's empire in revenge.
That was funny
Mostly the "can't relate" brigade.

2black + the effect of binging shows catching up to them
Folks need to not binge shows
It has been 4 months since I watched Luke Cage episode 9, then I got back to it and finished it and loved it
Can't binge every show. I can binge Crazy Ex-Girlfriend because it's short and a funny musical. Can't binge these hour+ long shows
Unless I'm watching Mad Men or Lost with my mom, then we get through 2 seasons in 1 day.

Mariah in that last episode was great.
Absolutely agree about the binge watching.
People rush to be in on the conversation, but what they really offer is their opinion on how they got fatigued. Also, some shows should be taken at different speeds. Like Lost is one that can be binged, and the characters make sense because they react to the immediate and don't have the luxury of a water cooler Monday morning to chop it up and get back with a "what I really would have done is this" kind of response.
Holy shit, I just watched Logan.
Holy.
Shit.

I didn't notice it until now, but Cardi B got hella tongue.
I sort of wish I had slowed down when I was watching Celia. 85 episodes over the course of two months was a long ass time. Around episode 53 I started to feel the weight. I should've stopped before the time skip and then waited like a month to finish the rest., but never know when Netflix will just drop a show on you.
This needs to be like added to the Constitution or something. I'm stunned so many people still don't get this
Did RLM do something stupid recently. I've only watched the occasional video from them so if there is some weird narrative, I don't know about it.
Honestly, given what Jackson has said in the past and the stuff he has worked on, this should surprise nobody
Fuck lost, if that show was on the air today, it would be roasted

It was good but Cottonmouth was so memorable that everything that came after felt like a disappointment in comparison.

Yeah, I will never understand the extreme hate Luke Cage garners.
I mean, I know it's the second half, but I honestly believe people don't get why
shows up, what his place is in the story.
It's like the tone shift wasn't welcome, but like, how else do you pose a real challenge for the guy? (though yeah, the
subplots needed better pacing.

Well of course, but like 4 years ago my mom and I watched up to season 5 since we both watched 6. Show got bad real quick.

Seems like most of the hate that Luke. Age and Jessica Jones gets from Gaf is most of the audience can't or doesn't want to relate. You can tell because both the those series got rave reviews and broke records for Netflix, but are less about superheroes moreso than its characters. In comparasion Daredevil is pretty simple street level story that just barley grazes on some of what Cage and Jones attempted to tackle.
Also even though I liked it season 2 hand stuff was Arrow tier, which is honestly what I expected by the end of it.

I am telling you they were pulling shit out their ass from day one
As soon as I saw what was in the hatch I knew the show wasn't shit.
I didn't like Luke. The dude that plays him is way too wooden and there are way too many tunes in it. Some one did a count and there are like 10 different tunes at least a episode.
But then I didn't like JJ either. I only liked DareDevil season 2 because of Punisher. The main problem for me is the acting though.

That moment when you gotta get to work but your one mode of transport is still out of commission, you don't have enough money to take out the atm or catch the bus to and from work. Then you make that realization that:
Iron Fist reviews have started to come in and they are better than I expected: http://m.neogaf.com/showthread.php?t=1350780
Also, I agree that gaf hate for Jessica Jones and Luke Cage mostly appear to derive from a position of "I can't relate".
Those are the two best Netflix/marvel shows IMO and both are helped by being shows about something on top of being enjoyable shows already.
And another thing, the Daredevil "hand" bullshit is easily the worst thing they've put out in any series (so far 😉

The creators of that show made Once Upon a Time. There are a few recurring actors/actresses.
It was entertaining for three seasons tho

Irony, most of GAF is lost on it. I'm starting to realize that the elevator doesn't reach the top for some gaffers.
Them Iron Fist previews have me so upset.... I guess I can't say I'm surprised based off of the trailers, but damn.
I will never understand the utter hatred people seem to have for Jessica Jones and Luke Cage around here. JJ was amazing, even with its pacing issues. Luke Cage was also amazing for its first half, but yea, anyone that wants to trash the 2nd half, I'm still not going to stop them. But then they claim to hate the entire thing and I'm like "Why tho"

Reading through the San Andreas reveal thread now, it reads like a stormfront thread.
Can't believe those were normal reactions back then
I liked Luke Cage but I didn't care for the lead's acting. I didn't care for the corny history lessons Luke was on about.
was dumb and a bad start for the character and a middling second half. I was mixed on Misty Knight and the actions of the rest of the cops. Still a good show that I'll keep watching. Iron Fist looking a little meh right now but I hope that's not the final verdict when I watch it.
On LOST though, it was some dumb bullshit that was really fun to binge through with seasons 4 and 5 being my favorite. Shame how a lot of the actors barely got in better roles after this show especially Locke and Sawyer. The characters carried this shit man.
Diamondback shooting Luke into the garbage truck and letting him get away
