Since this show is definitely delving into culture...

I'm gonna have to be more controversial this time. I'd rather read reviews from black and brown critics or people in the know. There's a lot of meat and potatoes that I'm hearing is a part of this series unlike the others, and I feel like I'm going to have to be more choosy about who I listen to.

I was just going to post this.

But Alfre Woodard and Mahershala Ali make the show unmissable, and it all comes down to how they envision black power. Mariah Dillard is full of ideals about her city and black people’s place in it. "My Harlem," she says, "is saturated with jazz and good food and the pure genius that permeates the streets." She is respectability politics personified. She’s also compromised, thanks to her dealings with Cottonmouth’s business. Cottonmouth, on the other hand, is charismatic and dangerous. He’s the perfect foil for Luke Cage, yet another dark mirror image that villains like the Kingpin and Loki provide for their opposite numbers in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. But even he is driven by honor and a desire to see black people empowered, no matter the means or the cost.

I hope the rumor of him popping up later this season in SHIELD is legit

Tweet goes out, says actor couldn't show to a premier or award ceremony or something like that 'cause he was filming something as The Punisher... Except, as far as people knew, he was not where they're filming any of the Netflix shows and the schedules didn't add up, and he was near where they film Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Something like that. Might be wrong in the details, but that's the rumour, basically.

 

[Sgt. Kabukiman]

So it'll be the 30th in one hour where I live. Should I stay awake to watch the pilot or is there a specific time for when the show will be available to everyone around the world?

 

[Gleethor]

I too am curious as to when precisely this will go up.

 

[thelastcrusader]

So hyped for this. Anyone know what time it comes out EST?

Are you talking about his NYCC appearance? He can't make it to one (two?) of the days he was set to appear because of a "Netflix production schedule" so people started speculating about everything and anything.

It will be online in 10 hours. American time matters.

Go to sleep guys, it'll be up at 12:00 AM Pacific/3:00 AM Eastern.

Pure speculation but it came from this via comicbook.com and IGN, after Joe Bernthal was said to be filming something Marvel-related in an NYCC schedule statement.

Marvel Television had a big premiere event for Agents of SHIELD Season 4, in which they screened the Agents of SHIELD Season 4 premiere episode, “The Ghost.” Several comic book creators were in attendance at the event, including Gerry Conway, creator of the Punisher. According to IGN, Jeph Loeb, the head of Marvel Television, at one point introduced Conway and other guests and teased, "You will understand why I brought all of these people here later in the season, and why it makes sense."

Oh well, I'll go to sleep then. Or maybe I'll just drink a bunch of coffee and play Dragon Quest 7 instead. Your move, Netflix.

Why do people always leave out central time in the US?

Because you should know how to figure that out by now.

That can be said for both EST and PST...

 

[xxracerxx]

I am just saying if either PST or EST is listed anywhere, Central is easy to figure out.

Just read the review. Good stuff.

A lot of the trailers show Luke getting shot up wearing a hoodie, and that really is powerful.

A few avatars for anyone who wants them:

 

[Kalentan]

Guys- Guys- GUYS.

It's almost here! I know it's still like 8 hours but still!

I've probably watched the first trailer and the street trailer like 10 times each now.

A little more than 6 hours to go.

I really dislike PST, can we pretend only EST exist when launching things in Americas?

 

[Cracklox]

I have the day off and its been the 30th for like 14 hours now, and still no Luke Cage. Hurry up and catch up America!

Spoiler

I know, two and half more hours

 

[Zero-ELEC]

Yeah, we could but then the time'd be wrong in the best coast.

3am EST? ):

Honestly, that should be an easy stretch for Marvel TV, since Loeb runs both. Get that Feige action on Loeb!

 

[Rhaknar]

Will try to catch at least the first episode when I get home from work, cant wait.

 

[SolarPowered]

3am EST? ):

I thought it was 12AM EST. This was the worst mistake.

 

[RoyaleDuke]

If Punpun is in this I will lose my fucking shit.

 

[XGRaViSmOrSX]

Stupid PST.

 

[Danthrax]

EDT

don't be an hour late

 

[peanutbutterlatte]

The "U killed my son Stark" woman from Civil War being in this is going to annoy me more than it should.

 

[BlueDogAnchorite]

Well, I live in Chicago. So I can expect to watch this show around 1am to 2am?

 

[TheOddOne]

Today is launch day people. Don't forget the house rules:

And above all, enjoy yourselves.

 

[Kelsdesu]

2am CST (*´>&#1076;<)

bwahaha

 

[Bad_Boy]

lol thought i was gonna be late to the party but timezones. heading home to watch now

 

[PsychBat!]

Less than two hours now.

 

[Evo X]

I want to stay up to watch an episode, but we all know I'm not going to be able to watch just one.

 

[Da-Kid]

bwahaha

You're now on my list of souls I will feast on.

Don't tease me, bro.

 

[Chie Satonaka]

This is the exact reason why I'm not messing around with this until I'm off work tomorrow night.

 

[Coffee Dog]

We're getting a full length Luke Cage show that is faithful to the character. I still can't believe it.

I like Daredevil, and I like Alias, but this is the first time that Marvel's TV has dug deep enough into the universe to make me hopeful for their future adaptations.

 

[torontoml]

This is the exact reason why I'm not messing around with this until I'm off work tomorrow night.

Im kinda dissapointed, I was scheduled to go back on my 12 hour shifts Sunday, but decided to be the nice guy and cover for Saturday. So now I have to prep for 9 days of work a day early, which I was supposed to spent watching Cage.

 

[Sesuadra]

I still would rather have Terry Crews or Henri Simmons as Luke Cage, because I can't stand Mike Colter...but I'll give this show a fair chance! Will buy a frozen pizza later and binge the shit out of it.

Netflix, prepare thy server.

 

[HP_Wuvcraft]

So, Cottonmouth sounds exactly like what I thought he was going to be: a more secure Kingpin.
