Luke Cage is Black He couldn’t be done any other way! Marvel has its head up its ass currently with all of this DC new 52 bullshit. Black Nick Fury just like in the movies, new muslim Ms Marvel, New Characters stealing old Characters personas! God I hate it If you want a Muslim or Black character MAKE A NEW CHARACTER I hate when industries and and writers get lazy. I want a gay Character alright lets fuck off a preexisting character everyone likes YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!! No just no make a Goddamn NEW one! Power Man is BLACK POWER MAN IS ALWAYS BLACK!
That being said both series could hold thier own I agree, but one of the coolest things was when both united under a common front Heroes for Hire was awesome if no one read the original and continued run go out and buy it it was a great read. Im glad both Iron Fist and Power Man are getting a bone, I love those characters.
Night wing is about to get killed off so likelihood of him getting his own series is slim. The way agents of shield jumped off I’m just not sure marvel studios has gotten its small. Budget pipeline down enough yet but maybe that’s what this is some practice see what works what doesn’t then maybe they hop back onto prime time with something mid level.
I’d rather a silly She Hulk show than some super serious girl power detective bs, hell I’d even take a show about spider woman fucking shit up like in that motion comic they made. I like character development but I like super powers too, and her power set is just waaaaay to cookie cutter for me to care about.
the only reason ultimate nick is better is because they wrote him more relatably than 616. but the ultimate nick isnt tied to being black outside of him being based in likeness on samuel. But everything about cage from where he grew up, how he lived his life and struggles are tied to his race.
No I mean they could have introduced black Nick Fury as an example like so. Original Nick killed off and the rank for becoming director of Shield is Nick Fury or Commander Fury then we would have a whole new character I think that would have been a far better approach to character replacement. Kinda Like M in the James Bond Mythos. New 52 and Marvel trying to capitalize off of the movie popularity by shoddy creation and writing is and always will be my pet peeve. Hate that both companies thanks to the last couple of years of poor direction creatively have more edge now than wolverines claws and Katanas cursed sword combined. Be fucking Original make a new GOD Damn character!For the record I loved old skunk hair Nick Fury whenever he showed up in Punisher or Wolverine or anywhere you knew shit was going to hit the fan I just loved the character and its a shame he’s gone in a stupid creative writing snaffu for lack of a better reason. It all could have been handled better and now Marvel is falling into the DC pitfall of what makes their shit suck. Right as Marvel got a second chance at life and a main stay media interest the likes of which hasn’t been around in a long time for comics probably since Keatons Batman take. I hate the idea of shitting on characters that people still enjoy in order to push a media brand it’s stupid and lazy. They get paid to write and create and instead they call of duty this shit. Show some balls for christ sake and be creative you very well could make something awesome like the next spiderman or batman but no its easier to shit on preexisting Mythos and muddy the waters instead of being actually creative. Its just a bad joke is all.
On a related note Yes Terry Crews needs to Be Luke Cage absolutely!
Eh, both of them are already in Marvel movies and probably too old for this shit, I expect some no name or small time fellow will wind up getting the part and forced to bulk up if he hadn’t already. The real question is going to be are they going to let the man rock the tiara in a afro and the yellow shirt at any time during this project.
Also, if they kill Nightwing off in the comics, I wouldn’t be surprised if some fan did something stupid at one of their offices because that man Dick Grayson’s fans are loyal and a bit crazed when it comes to the OG Robin.
DC will continue to have a hard time killing off characters like John Stewart and Dick Grayson because their fanbases are dedicated and fierce. They should try to kill something easier like Huntress or Robin…oh wait.
Fuck DC, killing off good characters because your too lazy to use them is shit. That company could be making so much more money with the characters it has but is ran by mouthbreathers.
Also am I the only one who thinks a Luke Cage show has the better shot at getting an audience? Ironfist requires you to buy into a whole lot of strange concepts and I’m not sure how casuals will buy “magic kung fu shit!” as the excuse once they get to the bigger battles and better powers.
Get right the fuck out, Terry Crews is damn near a household name celebrity at this point. Everyone knows who he is.
You’re making it seem like he’s been out of public eye for years or is unknown or something.
And what do you mean “younger”? Luke Cage has never been pushed as being young or youthful, dude has looked between 30-40 in most portrayals for a while now.
I don’t care if it’s not Terry, as long as the actor they pick fits the role well.
What i’m wondering is, just how campy/serious will these show be?
