Poor Bravomite. Typed up that long review and then the thread died.
I thought it was a brilliant move to kill off Cottonmouth mid-season. The whole point of his character was to be a grounded villain that would help to introduction us to OTT oldschool hero, and to help develop Black Mariah. He was completely re-invented for live action and it wouldn't make sense to keep him around as a second Kingpin while the real deal is alive and coming back.The first 7-8 episodes of s1 felt like some really compelling crime drama with a guy with super powers. I would argue it some of Marvel's best work when it comes to television. And then with what happened to Cottonmouth (played brilliantly by Mahershala Ali) then the whole Stryker storyline, it just became silly to me and wasn't that interesting any more.
Though it's not uncommon for these MCU shows to drop in quality around the halfway point. Sticking to 8-10 episodes per show would be better.
Really? I thought Bring Da Ruckus with its "I come rough, tough like an elephant tusk" was much more fitting than Shimmy Shimmy Ya. Just because ODB died 14 years ago doesn't mean his song was better.There was a Luke Cage trailer that had him going into a stronghold and the music was ODB.
Then they changed the music in the actual show and it wasn't nearly as great.
Spoiler:makes me think Cage will assume the role of Daredevil in Shadowland, abusing power and his friends will have to help him out of it. While Daredevil was possessed and in charge of the Hand, this would be a more grey role in that he might make choices that keeps peace, but will get him deeper in corruption. Interesting direction to say the least.
Spoiler:
The last episode is pretty cool, I wasn't familiar with Tilda's character in the comics, so I had to look her up after the show. Turns out she was in her full Nightshade villain costume at the last scene, with the hair and all, that was pretty cool. Also she changed her last name to Johnson, so now I know why lol. Also her unleashing a berserk Bushmaster at Mariah makes a lot of sense, in the comics she would turn people into werewolves to do her bidding.
Boss Luke Cage at the end reminds me of his new look in the comics with the vested suit. I hope Danny at least gets a track suit or something, even without the mask he can at least have his tracksuit with the symbol on the chest.
How about Netflix make these stand alone series 8 episodes and Defenders 13 cause of all the characters in it.
