Latest Marvel series on Netflix.

Pretty good so far. Doesn't seem to be on par with Jessica Jones or Daredevil season 1, but still enjoyable.

I didn't like Daredevil. Watched just one episode of Jones,too dark.

I liked Luke Cage and will follow this one. Looking forward to Iron Fist,too.

And sexist.

Finished it last night.

I liked it. It dragged a bit in the middle and Diamondback looked stupid in his power suit, but overall it was really good.

Sway in the Morning plugged it quite a bit this morning...for the sole purpose that Sway and Heather B were on the most recent episode.

So I was clearly joking about Luke Cage being racist, but apparently some people don't like the fact that the show doesn't have white people in it. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Wow,did not notice that. Cage is pretty cool and I thought Marvel revealed him in the first Thor movie but they never gave the Shield dude a name. Tried to stop Thor in the rain outside of a Shield location.

Scrafe is white.

Sure he's a corrupt cop, but still.

Those people should fuck off about complaining about no white people in Luke Cage.

I'd be cool if Heather B was the full-time host. She's the most entertaining.

Could not get through Jessica Jones. So not sure if I will take this up. Last session of Daredevil dragged too much as well. Might be too much of a good thing with the superheroes. Getting bored with it.

The villains carried Daredevil S1 and Jessica Jones S1.

That isn't a good trend?

I have no plans to watch Luke Cage. People said Jessica Jones was too dark...isn't this darker? 8)

5 eps in and so far not impressed. Boring and unforgettable thus far despite having a great lead actor as Cage. Cottonmouth is far and away the weakest villain of all the netflix Marvel series so far even though the actor himself is fantastic.

Shakes knows what's up.

As far as Luke Cage, Cottonmouth isn't terrible. He's just a gangster. He isn't some criminal mastermind.

Watch all the way through. Diamondback is a billion times worse than Cottonmouth.

The "super-villian"ness of Diamondback is so fucking lame by the end. Sure I can suspend my disbelief for Cage's transformation into a black Wolverine type character...but when a normal dude gets jacked about 75' into a stone column and isn't dead...or when same villain puts on a green carhartt with a plastic helmet and all of a sudden has super strength enough to fight a super hero, even though there's nothing to keep him from getting popped in the chin and having his face caved in or his head popped off...that's too much. Can't they write just a little bit better?

Finished this yesterday. Show finally picked up around episode 10 and had a nice 3 ep run before hitting the wall again in the finale. Overall I was pretty unimpressed with the series. Still might be better than DD season 1 though.

So far I'd rank them....

1. Jessica Jones

HUGE GAP

2. DD season 2 (only after Elektra joins the cast about 4 eps in)

GAP

3. Luke Cage
4. DD season 1 (Foggy and Karen cry fest puts this below Cage)

I absolutely loved DD season 1. Just finished it last night.

Jessica Jones was awfully dark and could easily have been compressed into 8 episodes.

And I went the other way on that. Felt DD was way too dark (in tone and lack of levity) and could've been condensed to 4 episodes if they just cut out all the scenes where Foggy or Karen are crying. Plus I find Matt Murdock to be the least charismatic character of all the Marvel Heroes.

That said, I really liked season 2 of DD, but that's because Karen and Foggy were replaced in the forefront by Punisher and Elektra.

I didn't mind that there were so many black people in it. It made the show more interesting as we were all left wondering how our protagonist, Shades, was going to work his way through that cultural/ethnic mine field.

Frank Whaley is in it. That's fucking Robby Krieger to you. You will watch this and break on through.

Just started watching this. Three episodes in. It's pretty entertaining, and I despise almost all comic book movies and TV shows. Never seen Jessica Jones or DD.

This is the worst of those 3. JJ is far and away the best.

I disliked Cage the least but still felt it dragged on. My solution: Cancel Netflix.

All those Marvel shows sucked to different degrees.
