I think it's episode 3 where he performs on stage at Paradise. Those threads are fine as fuck. Help me out reddit!

I feel that the concept and use of Judas bullets in Luke Cage season 1 is a symptom of lazy and unimaginative storytelling. Part of what makes the character and stories of Luke Cage compelling to me is his durability being an incentive for writers of the story and antagonists in the story to think of a weapon to use against Luke Cage other than firearms.
America, at large, has an obsession with firearms and featuring them in stories does nothing to correct this problem. I realize that, as a way to justify the decision to use firearms in stories, there may be the response, "This is simply a reflection of reality." To this I say that while this may be true, stories can and are also written in a way that shows the way forward to a better reality.
I urge the showrunner, Cheo Hodari Coker to consider minimizing Judas bullets on Luke Cage. I'm very excited about the idea of antagonists utilizing other kinds of weaponry against Luke.

First off: I'm biased because I've been a fan of Power Man and Iron Fist since the 80's, when I was a kid, reading the comics.

Initially, I couldn't stand the Luke Cage character as depicted in Jessica Jones. Whiny, emotional and just not Luke Cage. I started watching the Luke Cage series and gave up about 2 or 3 episodes in, for the same reasons.

Yesterday, I needed something to binge-watch and said "fukkit I'll finish Luke Cage" and Holy shit, now I get it.

The blaxploitation theme throughout, the music and the scene with Method Man in E12. Fuck yea.

While I enjoyed the show, my enjoyment was not sufficient for me to give it a thumbs up. To be honest, I'm not sure what I liked least about the show, but here's a stab, with minimal spoilers so that more can be discussed: *The incredibly long, uninteresting and unimportant dialogue sequences *The dearth of good action scenes *The extremely contrived plot twists *The uninteresting series of primary villains *The simplification of black culture: everyone is either a superhero, a supervillain, a corrupt official, or a random miscellaneous background entity *The needless repeated showing of Cage's powers, we get it literally after the first shot in the first encounter

That's just some stuff. Happy to go into detail.

DareDevil Theme

Jessica Jones Theme

Luke Cage Theme

Iron Fist Theme

Please note, I am asking for opinions on the opening only, not the show itself.

Hey Guys, I was wondering where I could get the biggie poster that Cottonmouth has hanging in his club in roughly that size. Have only found poster services that let me print it, but does anyone know whether a high quality poster/ canvas is available somewhere?

In either Jessica Jones or Luke Cage was it ever explained how Luke got his bar?

Does anyone else feel that the last fight between Jessica and Kilgrave is a bit disappointing? With the whole season leading up to that moment wouldn't something more than snapping his neck seem more fitting? I realize having a fight wouldn't work because she would lose her advantage.

I just finished watching the series and I noticed that everyone says Luke Cage a lot, and in interesting ways. Has anyone put together a supercut of all the times the name "Luke Cage" is mentioned?

Throughout this entire first season, a lot of the problems caused can be summed up by a simple "you didn't trust this or that's system." This is frustrating to me because to me, because I understand the sentiment behind that belief, but I feel like I was never shown a reason to distrust the system in Luke Cage. Beyond the whole storyline with Cottonmouth having half the cops on his payroll, (which IMO felt like sort of a one-shot story and then was just forgotten about) we were never shown why to distrust the police system. As this takes place in a reality that's basically our own, apart from the superheroes, I understand why the average person wouldn't trust the cops. But Misty doesn't trust her own system, when she should be smart enough to know that the only way to really exonerate Luke is to bring him in, so he can provide his alibis (which he had PLENTY of, one example: the security cam pic of Misty being held at gunpoint by Diamondback was proof there was a camera that would've seen Claire take Luke to that same spot, giving him an alibi). And beyond that, there is a mistrust in the system theme anywhere it feels the writers can squeeze it. Claire and Luke don't trust the doctor with the USB when he's clearly working for the greater good, trying to provide healing powers and cures for illnesses. NOBODY asks for a lawyer right when they should have, except Shades (#shouldalistenedtoShades) when they were arrested. Misty kept SO MUCH from her commanding officer regarding witnesses and what she knew. In the end, to me, it eventually stopped feeling like a We Don't Trust The System theme, it just felt like a We're Keeping Things Secret For No Reason theme, and I refuse to believe the characters weren't smart enough to see the benefit of trusting authorities in certain circumstances they were faced with.

What did that mean???

Spoilers welcome. I thought this show was a breath of fresh air when I binged it. Really enjoyed shades character out of everyone. Can any deceased characters be brought back? What will happen with Diamondback? Will we get more of DB's and lukes back story? Lmk below

...And I noticed a common theme of a jealous older brother orchestrating tragedies to befall their younger brother because they're pressed that the younger one was favored over them.

It's neither here nor there and it's likely a coincidence given that their respective releases were spaced only a year apart, but I just found it interesting that two major movie universes would pick the same backstory for their main characters to explain all the personal misfortunes that have transpired. I couldn't help but think of Luke Cage once that was revealed.

But I feel strangely vindicated as the younger one in a sibling duo.

Was everyone who got that procedure turn into a Luke Cage? Is it a similar thing to what Wolverine got?

Episode 12, 46:04.
I watched it 10+ times. The man says Rattle steak.
Anyone else catch this? I've noticed he mispronounced other things but this was the most blatant one.
