Do it for a single filler episode in season 2.

Just have him and Danny hanging out in the 70/s for no reason.
Don't even connect it to the plot.

feels bad to see shade being thrown on OG Luke Cage in this thread.

Marvel might just do some wild shit like that. I would not be surprised.

Sure wish I could watch this show. Netflix is down though.....

on a desktop but if you were lucky it was working on your phone

It's better for not being a straight blaxploitation show, but there seems to still be nods to blaxploitation, especially in the music.

This thread is pretty gross. Dude just said he wasn't going to watch it and explained why, because someone fucking asked him about it in an interview. You'd think he got up on the soapbox and said FUCK NETFLIX LUKE CAGE AND EVERYONE WHO LIKES IT IS A BASEMENT DWELLING MARVEL FANBOY based on OP's and others reactions.

It's a good thing you're here to defend Tarantino from the deluge of counter opinions he's never going to read. You're the hero he deserves.

Don't you just hate when a character grows beyond your narrow frame of reference?

I just hate it when someone expresses an opinion.

 

[APZonerunner]

It's not like he's criticising the show, anyway - he's just saying he'd have liked to have seen/made that version of Luke Cage, which is fair enough. This is the same way that, when he was courting the Bond producers when they were doing a lot of soul searching after Die Another Day, Tarantino's vision for Casino Royale was a 60s period piece with Bond as a proper piece of shit again more in line with the books.

Well its his right if he would have preferred it like that. Nothing wrong with that.

Right? I don't really know why people are so up in arms about this. It sounds like he didn't even watch and he doesn't want to. I see the same complaint here in GAF all the time. Just read ANY book to film, or comics to film adaptations thread.

Like, I wish they had been more faithful to the book on the Hobbit film adaptations. I'm sure the light hearted, adventure-ish nature of the book didn't need any of the "epicness" they tried to add to, sometimes, comical results in the films. I'd rather have a smaller, more intimate film focused on Bilbo.

Haven't read or watched Luke cage yet, so I can't comment on that.

I kind of want to see a QT Luke Cage film 'cause it'll be presented more of "look at how these people created this character originally".

This version of Luke is faithful to the book version. Just not the book version of the 70's.

i'm going to wager that Tarantino's history when it comes to race relations doesn't help him here.

This thread makes me think ... was Black Dynamite ever released in blu ray ?

My main problem with TV Luke Cage is kind of the problem I have with modern Luke Cage. He's not the hothead badass from before I was born that I thought was cool. In the comics he's an anxious dad now, and on the TV he's one of these hyper-reluctant "I'm just a guy, don't want no trouble" kind of heroes.

I realize that classic interpretation was just a condensation of a lot of cliches at the time, but I like certain cliches, hothead heroes being chief among them. I honestly enjoyed the supporting cast (especially Misty) a lot more than anything Cage himself did on that show because they were so much more vivid and active.
