Luke Cage: Review of Netflix Original Series Luke Cage: Review of Netflix original series Author : Robert D. Cobb Marvel debuted another one of its Netflix gems Friday. Anticipation had built up since Mike Colter appeared as Luke Cage on Jessica Jones in the Marvel shared universe. So much so, Netflix servers couldn't handle the workload. The streaming service went down for hours on Saturday, leaving viewers to watch regular cable, like animals! So just what was so exciting enough about Luke Cage that broke the internet? http://gty.im/120347526 Mike Colter as Luke Cage: Mike Colter is everything you’d expect out of our title character. He’s got the size to pull off the tough guy roll. However, it’s his acting ability that carries the character. Too many times shows cast a muscle-bound actor who has limited acting ability and the character suffers. Luke Cage is a vigilante of the people and to go that route would’ve doomed the show. Not only is Colter’s version of Cage believable, but he also manages to make him likable and relatable. A character with no powers to show than super strength, Colter had the challenge of bringing the character to life without the awe of devices like Mjölnir or Captain America’s shield. He nails it, earning Colter a 4/5. http://gty.im/612083430 Mahershala Ali as Cornell 'Cottonmouth' Stokes: Very few times does a villain steal the show. Ali’s Cottonmouth is that villain. Cornell Stokes is the smooth talking, get anything he wants, then snap the next moment, kind of guy. It’s not long before the hero crosses paths into the crime bosses’ affairs and kicks the hornet’s nest. It takes a good actor to be able to flip-flop back and forth between the two and Ali makes it look easy. The character is played so well he’s in the running with David Tennant’s Kilgrave (Jessica Jones) as Marvel’s top tv villain. He's one of the best parts of the show 5/5. http://gty.im/499669980 Simone Missick as Misty Knight: Misty Knight was one of the character’s who fell short. It wasn’t in the way that Simone Missick didn’t fit the build. However, there were great sequences that pulled viewers in that should’ve happened more often. Misty Knight works on the local police force chasing down leads on the new brand of vigilante. Strength and intelligence are Misty’s biggest assets as she can pick apart a crime with the best of them. While Missick breaks out the best of her acting abilities at times, the Misty Knight left enough on the table going forward to leave room for a darker back story for a 3.5/5 Marvel has never shied away from characters who were reflections of the time. Captain America was penned during World War II coincidentally fighting Nazis. Luke Cage’s underlying theme fits well into many social issues happening today. The one saving grace for the show is it touches on these subjects and moves on. Instead of beating a dead horse on the subject the show runners give fans the subtle hint and then advance the story. 1 / 2 For perspective, Luke Cage is the equivalent of tv’s Arrow. Yes, there is a man with special powers and abilities, but the show revolves primarily around power struggles within Harlem. However, that’s where the comparison ends. Even though he does have superior strength, Luke ends up just being an everyday guy fighting for his innocence and protecting his neighborhood. Rather than be a show about mystical powers, it’s a show about corruptness and perseverance. If you compare Luke Cage to Marvel’s other Netflix properties, you’ll be disappointed. The show shares the same universe but stands out on its own. Everything from culture, tone, and plot twists are totally different. Fans who loved Jessica Jones enjoyed the plot twists and scenes of intensity. It's is more of a straight-forward and direct drama. With that being said the show doesn’t lack in quality for it’s down to earth approach. Viewers are still treated to how Luke’s past affects his present struggle. The hardest thing to swallow after watching Luke Cage is how the shows will all tie together. It did little to introduce future projects. Although it did drop a few easter eggs that will no doubt come to fruition in the future, Marvel may have left Iron Fist as well as second seasons to do the heavy lifting. With the plan of an Avenger’s style team up in the form of Defenders, these four shows have some connections but no plot point as of yet to move forward. Expect big things out of the next in the series. Luke Cage is a must watch if you’re following along with the fandom. Overall 7.5/10! 2 / 2 Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org).

  • Loving, Black Teenage Instagram Celebrity Converts to Islam. Here's
    A shape-shifting, pepperoni- loving, black teenage Instagram celebrity converts to Islam. Here’s what happens. THE STORY Summer is a 17-year old carefree black girl, whose world is turned upside down when her mother, a popular meteorologist named Jade Jennings, abruptly converts to Islam and becomes a different person, prompting Summer to reevaluate her identity. When her mother coerces her into converting, Summer rebels. But, while Summer initially resists Islam, she eventually becomes drawn to its teachings, particularly around the "Jinn," supernatural beings who occupy a parallel world and have free will, like humans. Summer soon realizes that the religion is more complex than she thought, and that people interpret it in different ways. Yet, Summer's need to be free and untethered to any one way of being clashes with her mother’s strict interpretation of the faith and causes a growing rift between them. When Summer meets Tahir, a fellow Muslim classmate who attends the same masjid, she is further drawn to the religion and especially to his parent’s fluid, freeing practice of it. As Summer and Tahir build a connection based in laughter, curiosity, and beef pepperoni, a budding sexual attraction ignites, causing a major conflict between physical desire and piety.

  • Afrosurrealism, Aristotle, and Racial Presence in Netflix's Luke Cage
    e Interdisciplinary Journal of Popular Culture and Pedagogy Afrosurrealism, Aristotle, and Racial Presence in Netflix’s Luke Cage Angela D. Mack Texas Christian University Fort Worth, Texas, USA [email protected] ABSTRACT This essay examines Netflix’s Luke Cage as a rhetorical reading of racial embodiment and productions of the cultural identity of Blackness and People of Color, and the tensions they produce to help audiences understand the current climatic flux between racial hostility and American idealism. With only two seasons in the small-screen version of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), Cheo Hodari Coker’s adaptation of the 1970s Blaxploitation Power Man comic foregrounded the recent wave of superhero narratives that expanded minority/gender representation from both major comic houses (MCU and DC Extended Universe [DCEU]). This examination employs the lens of Afrosurrealism, a conceptual framework of understanding Blackness through its many complex manifestations of cultural and aesthetic representations in art across time. It is through this Afrosurrealist concept where references to race such as “Black”, “Brown”, “White,” and “People of Color” are applied to describe specific people groups/collectives throughout this essay. Using Afrosurrealism, I argue that Luke Cage can be analyzed through Aristotle’s three species of rhetoric: the judicial rhetoric of the past, the epideictic rhetoric of the present, and the deliberative rhetoric of the future. By using these three rhetorical branches, this analysis demonstrates a diasporic reading of race with Harlem as its bridge to the “realms” of New York City and beyond. This reading of a Black superhero’s world, Luke Cage’s “Harlem World,” thus brings about an awareness of a necessary racial presence, resulting in a grounding of racial realities, that subverts an ideal post-racial afterlife in the post-Obama “American” universe.

  • You Can’T Break €˜Luke Cage’ in Season 2
    You Can’t Break ‘Luke Cage’ in Season 2 03.06.2018 "You can't burn me, you can't blast me, and you definitely can't break me," Luke Cage (Mike Colter) tells viewers in Netflix's teaser for the premiere of the Marvel superhero series' sophomore season. It picks up with Cage having cleared his name, and becoming a celebrity on the streets of Harlem, "with a reputation as bulletproof as his skin," says Netflix. "But his visibility has increased his need to protect the community and find the limits of who he can and can't save. With the rise of a formidable new foe, Luke is forced to confront the fine line that separates a hero from a villain." And it seems nobody is going to get in his way. "Wanna test me?" he says to the camera in the teaser. "Step up. I'm right here." Netflix also released first-look images (posted above) that show him in a renovated Pops, goofing around with kids, encountering new enemies, and fighting alongside NYPD detective Misty Knight (Simone Missick, Ray Donovan) who now has her trademark bionic arm after it was cut off in Marvel's The Defenders. Luke Cage also stars Alfre Woodard (The Lion King), Theo Rossi (Sons of Anarchy), Mustafa Shakir (The Deuce), Gabrielle Dennis (Rosewood), and Rosario Dawson (Marvel's Daredevil). Season two is executive produced by showrunner Cheo Hodari Coker (Ray Donovan), Jim Chory (Marvel's Jessica Jones) and Jeph Loeb (Marvel's Jessica Jones), who also serves as Marvel's head of television.
