I feel like this might be the best Netflix from Marvel yet.

I've had no interest in prior Netflix Marvel shows, but Luke Cage seems like it could rope me in. We'll see.

 

[Robot Pants]

Nah. We need Dredd
Make it happen Netflix

 

[-Plasma Reus-]

He's black and bullet proof. It's not exactly rocket science.

HOLY SHIT

 

[xxracerxx]

Dredd is a symbol to the black community?

 

[LiveFromKyoto]

Luke Cage is very right time right place thing right now

A lot of dudes weren't exactly checking for him like that. At least on the same level as panther in terms of black heros

I think he's a big deal to comics fans, he's been around for nearly 45 years and he's been front & centre in the Avengers for the last decade +. But I don't know if people in the culture at large had ever heard of him before Jessica Jones.

 

[LiveFromKyoto]

He meant Judge Dread. His lesser known rastafarian counterpart.

 

[Broken Joystick]

I think they're referring to Luke Cage being their first hero in the comics, not their first hero in the MCU. Though I'm not even sure if that's true (it's either him or BP, but technically BP wasn't introduced as a hero).

I thought so too but fairly sure Black Panther and Falcon came before.

 

[Gordon Shumway]

How will Fox news deal with the pairing of Marvel, Netflix AND the Black Lives Matter terrorist? Find out tonight on the Factor!

I am the locks!

 

[OdysseusVA]

One tone no expression Luke Cage?

 

[Anung]

I am the locks!

I and I is the Law!

If Bendis hadn't rescued and pushed Cage, no way there would be a show.

Cage is what Carol and Cyborg wish they were

Slayven with that truth.

As much as I usually give Bendis shit for his team books, that first New Avengers volume was a stroke of genius. He made an obviously popular in hindsight lineup and made it all about Luke.

The world will soon learn to accept a half-black man half-machine.

 

[Thunder Monkey]

I can't wait.

Seriously sounds like it could end up being some spectacular TV.

 

[Deleted member 1235]

How it's daredevil quality. Shame it needs to be superheroes, but whatever works for America,

What? You will need to break all of this down.

remember those 2 years when they tried to make Spider Woman happen?

 

[Palette Swap]

I guess that could have worked if Jessica Drew had been Jessica Jones, the bootleg character that turned far superior.

As it was, Jessica Drew happened about as much as that Peter/Carol pairing during Siege.

Marvel really fucked up by not letting Bendis have Drew, would have been the best thing to happen to the character.

 

[LiveFromKyoto]

Nuh-uh! She was the Skrull Queen all along! They didn't try to make her happen at all. Nuh-uh. Nope.

 

[Black Republican]

Cant wait for Tomi Lahren's review on this

 

[The Kree]

Nuh-uh! She was the Skrull Queen all along! They didn't try to make her happen at all. Nuh-uh. Nope.

He commented in an interview that that was the reason he didn't do a solo series for her, because they had long term plans to undermine all her shit with Secret Invasion and they thought that would piss people off to learn she wasn't really herself for a whole series.

I wish he would have picked her up after that story ran it's course.

We need a Starforce series

 

[Parallax]

Truth. Easy to hate on him for his various tics as a writer, but the dude has done a lot of great things for the Marvel U. Cage is at the top of that list.

hes good on specific characters

 

[Slayven]

And when Spiderman 5 drops, we will be praising Dan Slott as well.

 

[narutomaki04]

tbh the trailer looks very underwhelming to me.

 

[MHWilliams]

He's black and bullet proof. It's not exactly rocket science.

This is why I've always said, Black Panther may be the aspiration, but Luke Cage is the real iconic black hero that Marvel publishes.

How do you feel about the grounding of Black Mariah? I know she was one of your favorites

Cottonmouth won't even have sharp teeth, there was no hope.

Also, how do you feel about Serpent Society getting their first shine on Netflix?

he'll get praise from me when he gets on a pym book

...but he and Maleev did do a Spider-Woman series post-SI. Only ran for seven issues or so, though.

 

[Robot Pants]

Black Dredd

Im in

 

[Sane_Man]

I like the concept but Colter is just so bland in every way. He was the worst thing in Jess Jones and that's saying something. No hype at all.

 

[Slayven]

I hope they go a little end, code names just for code names would suck

 

[The Kree]

Forgot about that. Cleaning up Skrull leftovers in a miniseries doesn't count though. It was more about the artwork than the writing anyway.

was that super spy trained by taskmaster bullshit?

 

[The Kree]

was that super spy trained by taskmaster bullshit?

No, that was a different mini. Spider-Woman: Origin.

 

[Litan]

Like cyborg is really out there like that now. In some other universe/time, static would be the one killing it right now

Yeah, it's really unfortunate they don't have the rights to Static.
Would have loved to see him on the big screen.

 

[Slayven]

No, that was a different mini. Spider-Woman: Origin.

Ever noticed when they don't know what to do with a character they turn them into a super spy?

Spiderwoman
Nightwing
Wonder Woman

 

[demosthenes]

Can't wait to binge the shit out of this.
