We started watching Luke Cage for date night recently. It's really good, though I'm hoping it will get better after it finishes with setting up the story. zdude looked up the comic on Wikipedia and he was telling me some about the storyline this morning. I reminded him that the show may not follow the canon storyline at all (yes, even if it has characters with the same name - look what they did with Agents Of Shield and Quake).
I'm seeing a lot of talk about it too, but mostly about how POCs/minorities, women, and women minorities don't get enough airtime in general and all the talk about how Luke Cage is racist. WTF people. If it offends you that much, just pretend it's a show about aliens...except how it's really really not. POCs and minorities exist and sometimes, have a culture of their own that you may not know anything about. It doesn't make it fake just because you aren't familiar with it. Deal, already.
Is it just me? I always have to ask.
