Luke Cage | Season 2 on Netflix | 6/22/18 (Spoiler tagged discussion)

This season was much better than the first but suffered really badly by episodes being too long and waaaay too many musical performances and also its basically Crime Boss Mariah the show. Barely felt like a superhero show in a bad way. Bushmaster was fucking awesome though.
The ending is kind of nonsensical with Tilda suddenly going gangsta which makes no fucking sense. I can understand her killing her own mother but the stuff after that is just stupid. Luke going gangsta made much more sense though.
Was surprised how healthy Reg E. Cathey looked in this considering he died a few months after it wrapped. RIP my good man.
I actually like the musical performances. It gives the show identity.
Man Mariah's speech in episode 9 was some awards-worthy shit. It goes on forever and she just totally holds the screen.
Can anyone tell me the name of the Blues guitarist in episode 2. Lord I've not heard guitar playing that amazing in quite some time.
They already have a wiki on the music lol? Man, the net works fast. I looked him up and he did that really bad cover of Come Together for the Justice League movie. The rest of his stuff, so far, is pretty damn good
Netflix includes bloopers now? Lmfao, I can't. Netflix dabbin on them haters.
I loved season one but this season in much much better than the first. Loved every episode, there wasn't a loss in momentum between each.
Ahahaha, the
reference in EP 6 got me :D Those guys really know their comics.
"Where's my money, honey"
It's hard to miss haha

Mariah really need to go to an AA meeting, like damn

That old black woman in episode 2 is real familiar. I can't remember where I've seen her before.
Three episodes in amd loving it! This show has an excellent rogue's gallery, anything with Mariah, Shades or Bushmaster is awesome.
The sheer amount of arm puns goes from cringey to hilarious.

Luke Cage S2 - END
So Luke has become
So much vigilante hero for life.
So Luke has become
a rookie for kingpin at the end.
Up till episode 5 now, and I'm greatly enjoying it. The music so damn good and really sets a good mood. They really sell the neighborhood of Harlem and Brooklyn too. Bushmaster is the smoothest. Mariah and her family talk just is the villainess. I'm still not and probably never will be entirely sold on Mike Colter's acting but the supporting cast is helping it. Poor Misty having to take on all these jokes though.
Gotta continue this watch all night I think.

They actually did a great job with Iron Fist in this. Hopefully we'll see more of this Danny going forward.
And yeah, the season as a whole was pretty solid. I like how they didn't burn through most of the hype too quickly & made the episodes more consistent. And as an aside, I love how you can slowly see Misty Knight get used to her bionic arm between episodes.

Only on Episode 3 so far but goddamn please tell me they fix Claire's character later on?
Everything she keeps bringing up about Luke in relation to his dad and his anger feels so unearned. It's feels like the writers want me to side with her over Luke and that it's supposed to be showing Luke obsessing over his revenge and breaking down but in actuality it makes her feel obsessive and controlling in trying to push him towards things that largely haven't been shown to be an issue. The fact that it feels like the writers trying to convey something rather than the characters doing/discussing a thing is a larger issue in its own right though.
Episode 5 was fantastic. Piranha is hilarious, and that whole party sequence was fun as hell.
And wasn't that ZAN! taking Luke's picture as he arrived at the party?
Really hyped for the Danny Rand positivity, his and Luke's relationship was one of the highlights of Defenders.
Also, Foggy!
And Scarfe!
And Cyborg Misty!

So I saw ign gave this a 4.5. So I guess according to them, Season 2 of LC is worse than IF? That cannot be right.
Gonna start watching this tonight, hoping for the best though.
Does Danny finally wear a IF costume?

This season is the most likable Danny has EVER been admittedly. Maybe there's hope yet...
This is one of those rare moments where I have absolutely no idea where a reviewer is coming from, a 4.5 is nonsense lol

It may well be a disaster in the second half, but the first five episodes have so much fun stuff that it can't be mentioned in the same sentence as Iron Fist. That score is bafflingly low.
I still can't get past one episode of Punisher or two episodes of JJ S2, but this is so watchable.
I got like 2 episodes left, but so far the 2nd half is even stronger. Stronger than Punisher's 2nd half even, the only other Netflix show I could say had a noticeable improvement in its 2nd half.
The show does still have pacing issues as usual of course, but it's quality stuff all the way through this time around unlike last season.
I finished the entirety of JJ S2 and I was disappointed after finishing it. It was ok, but definetly nowhere close to S1.
I was not a fan of Trish during S2.
Nice. I don't mind the pacing here because it's such a fun world. This show nails the "neighborhood" feel; Daredevil and Fisk grumble about saving their "city", but we hardly see Hell's Kitchen outside of a few dingy bars and apartments. Here, Luke and Mariah's ties to Harlem are far better defined. Even Mariah's henchmen are Luke Cage fanboys. And I'll take plenty of musical breaks over wasted dialogue scenes any day.
Edit: And I know Black Panther couldn't have influenced LC S2's writing, but Bushmaster feels like a much better take on Killmonger's "I'm the king now" story. And his fight sequences are kick-ass.
This season reminds me a lot of Black Panther, in that basically everyone gets their due as opposed to you only really caring about Luke and the villain(s)
Also I just love how much further fleshed out Mariah is. Like goddamn, what a messed up family.
Totally. Also Comanche is really mouthy for a henchman; he's just begging to get shot.
Liked the season a lot. I feel its better than season 1 second half of the season is stronger and villains are better.
It makes a lot of sense history is literally repeating itself
Mama Mabel was tough and alienated to Mariah
Mariah was tough and alienated Tilda
The last episode Mariah even boast that she treated Tilda the way Mabel treated her to make her stronger, even said when she looks at her she sees herself.
Mama Mabel gave the club to Cottenmouth
Mariah gave the club to Luke
Mariah made something of her own in politics outside of the family business
Tilda made something of her own with her shop outside the family business
Mariah dropped her family name and goes by Dillard
Tilda dropped her family name and goes by Johnson
If we are going to believe in Magic and Dragons than we can also believe Bushmaster when he says the Stokes bloodline is just evil.

Finished Episode 5 and I agree that was hella fun. I'm loving Piranha Jones and how much fun he had, and what a big fan boy he is.
I just don't understand,
I just don't understand,
was the whole thing with Rafael Scarfe a flashback? I assume so, I can't remember much from S1 honestly but he died right? I'm a little bit lost now.
Those Jamaicans ragging on Luke Cage is my favorite part so far.
That doesn't mean he should get a pass.
