Marvel's Cloak and Dagger|OT| is this in the MCU? Thursdays at 8:00 EST/7:00 central
- Thread starter TheChuggernaut
- Start date
Yeah I hadn't thought about how far out Tandy has come and how she has been suicidal. In hindsight she's really been through some rough stuff. First losing her father, being in a near-death situation as a young girl, then her mother succumbs to drugs, an unstable home has made her live on the streets, her family has lost their economical safety net, a company is making a bad name of her old man, then she can finally trust a new guy to take care of her and her mother, yet proceeds to see him killed in cold blood. She's is in another near-death car crash with Tyrone, she dumbs her boyfriend, she kills someone for the first time, she's on the run from the cops, she steals and have to live with this decision and so on. I never stood back to contemplate what she's been through but I totally see the rough path she's been on, and that confrontation with Tyrone at the church just finally made it click for Tandy.
Only issue with this show is that the prayer done last week was a bit inaccurate. Can't fool a French speaker from the West Indies...
Roxxon is the new Nick Fury/Agent Coulson. Testing the effects of Lightforce and Darkforce = explosion.

Hmm, so this happened on Luke Cage S2 that just came out Friday:
Yes! I was wondering if I was the only one that noticed that. Kinda crazy that out of all the shows, Luke Cage references this one.
I can definitely see the runaways running into cloak and dagger. It is also the most likely crossover besides well luke cage
Great, thanks. Definitely going to watch this regularly.
So having just watched the first episode with no prior knowledge of these characters, I actually quite enjoyed it. How comic book accurate is it, for those who know this shit?
The origin is different. They are kidnapped as teenagers and experimented on to try and unlock latent mutant powers. There was a whole "war on drugs" theme born out of the 80s that the comic delved into from what I recall.
Tandy finally summoning her dagger intentionally to carve through the safe was such a satisfying moment. This show is great at making every step have weight.
They got the spirit right, but the nuts and bolts of the origin was wrapped up in the 80s war on drugs so they updated it in a way that will be more timeless. Honestly a big improvement
I've really been digging this show! Dark and compelling are the words that keep coming to mind. The leads have great chemistry and the music and atmosphere are top-notch. Can't wait to see where it all goes!
Am I remembering the comics wrong, or did Cloak have a hand in the origin of Shriek? She's probably tied up with the Spidey rights, but I thought she might make a cool villain at some point (assuming we get more seasons)

OP
OP
It's all but 100% confirmed now that the O'Reilly cop on Cloak and Dagger is the same one mentioned in Luke Cage. In tonight's episode she says "Drug busts. In Harlem it was a good way to work up the food chain".
So Tyronne threw the game because of the ref and the fears of the other players?
The powers seem like they can become really inconvenient, I'm glad he made it back to the game. He definitely lucked out with his girl. seems like wifey material.
I'm enjoying the show, but I think they could cut back on 1 or 2 songs per episode.

I remember reading a lot of interviews where they were saying that Cloak and Dagger feels like these characters have a better chance of actually showing up on the big screen and they said they wanted it to feel like they really fit in the world. As little refrences they have to the mcu it kind of does feel like it just fits.
Rocking a new Tyrone Johnson avatar!
Can't wait to watch the episode tonight.
Already read about the reference it does to Luke Cage, that's so damn cool, seeing both shows reference each other like this. Hope we'll get more references to Harlem the more we learn of O'Reilly's background.

This show is so good, and the two main actors live tweet along, everything about this whole production is great.
Things I liked:
Oh God no, they are digging deep down into the "magic is just science we don't understand," and the showrunner Joe Pokaski literally mentioned Thor, and it being the big rule of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Man, another thing I really like about Episode 2 is, that officer Bridget O'Reilly keeps silent the entire episode, but then at the end she gets one line which is "you have to remain silent."
Seriously, there's a lot of clever stuff hidden in this show, and I am amazed by it all.
- O'Reilly mentioning her time in Harlem (looking at you Luke Cage)
- When Tandy goes to the Roxxon gala and she touches everyone, the opposite effect happens to Tyrone at the basketball game. Instead of him touching them, the players touch him and he sees their fears.
- How Tyrone intentionally misses his shot and loses the game because he has seen all of their fears.
- The hope-sequence of Scarborough digging up dead people from the ocean and taking all their cash.
- How the commercials at the start and finish, are actually Tyrone's mother's idea. If you go back to Episode 3, when Tyrone sneaks Evita up the stairs, and his mom come walking by she speaks in the phone talking about these commercials. Which proves she's an executive at Roxxon.

Cloak & Dagger Crashes to New Low.
With a rating at 0.15. And 509.000 viewers.
If this doesn't improve asap we may not get a second season.
Welp.

Wasn't Cloak and Dagger confirmed for the Marvel Television Comic Con Panel? Seeing as there are only 5 episodes left, I think they'll reveal Season 2 there.
Yes. It happens on July 20. The last episode of the season airs on August 2. I feel confident in saying they'll only talk about this season, how it's going and they'll show never before seen footage of the last episodes. I'm a little sceptical of a renewal but I don't know how Freeform operate. All I know is they cancelled Shadowhunters which had a huge fan base lol.
Btw, did anyone else catch the Riverdale reference in this week's episode? When Tandy mentions Betty and Veronica.

I like Tandy is using her power to dig up the past but Tyrone ended up choosing to do the opposite. Of course that should change later in the season when they start balancing each other out.
If it does sadly get cancelled, I hope we see these two in the Netflix shows, and the movies.
And then if it does get cancelled, I hope they fast track New Warriors.

It's the only Freeform show on the list so it's probably doing ok. Just depends on how much they pay for the license.
This is unfortunate. And I'm not helping since I haven't been watching even tho C&D is one of my fav. comic series. There's just way too much TV to watch and not enough time.
Great ep again!
But with the reference from Luke Cage, when dos this show takes place? Before Civil War?

I finally caught up. Surprisingly good show. Glad I gave it a chance, albeit it only happened because I noticed people apparently were into it.
Also, Tyrone's girlfriend, what's up with her? Half the time I'm like "Aww, she's cute, she'll be good for him" and the other half I'm thinking she kinda creepy tbh, can he even trust her
