    I agree with your statement but it kinda has nothing to do with his post about the villains in Luke Cage. You can have compelling earthling villains while not having them be on the top tier of universal danger. Like his post said regarding Kingpin and Mr. Purple. Kingpin struggles to keep the East Coast on lockdown much less the whole earth. Still he's a badass villain.

    Thanos is a big threat but only with a plot device like the Infinity Gauntlet or the Heart of the Universe. Darkseid is DC universe and Galactus is a big deal too but he's not necessarily a multiversal threat although I'd love to see him executed properly on the big screen. Are his rights owned by Fox or Marvel Studios?

    Luke was great . .. for 6 episodes. CottonMouth was awesome and was the best thing about the series
    Iron Fist aka Aluminum Curled Hand - sucked ass. Him being white was not the reason
    Him not bothering to work on his martial arts was. . . . . he was the poorest martial artist in the show
    Also . . the storyline was too generic (Martial Arts Tarzan) . . . . . He was also one of the poorest actors.

    Luke cage was ok, iron fist was meh but the quality is good. It's not like having to watch legends of tomorrow or something like that and not liking it.

    I didn't like Luke Cage. There was enough goodwill from Jessica Jones that I could see how it was decent but it didn't match the quality of the others before it.

    He was depowered and they tacked on an origin story that was part Empire and part blah that was already inferred in Jessica Jones. Cottonmouth was good, but Diamondback as the big bad was not on par with Wilson Fisk/Punisher/Kilgrave

    Looks like maybe they are trying to make Danny Rand less pouty/whiny.

    Just got done with the first episode.

    Looks like "Ras-Al-Ghul" Madam Gao is back with another "blow up the sewers and sack the city" evil scheme. My only question; is Elektra the new Talia?

    Every season of the Netflix Marvel shows seems rushed now. This one was very forgettable for me. I've also never understood why these group up movies feel obligated to include everyone. Its ok to leave out some of these side characters.

    Last I checked you don't like virtually any of these shows, it's almost like you watch them just to complain.

    No offense intended, but I'm going to disregard your opinion.

    I enjoyed Daredevil season 2 as well as Jessica Jones. I also enjoyed first half of Luke Cage. Nice to know you are trying to keep tabs on me though

    Iron Fist was a lot better in this

    Luke Cage was maybe slightly better

    Daredevil was a whiney b**** the whole time

    The show overall is not very good, halfway through

    I can't tell if I like it or not.....and I'm several episodes in. I don't know what that means.

    Episode 1: Luke Cage smashin Rosario like she has Super powers. I mean, that's Jessica Jones power tier humping. I hope Rosario's groin hasn't been pulverized to dust. The mortal Misty Knight didn't recieve this kind of thrashing... and thank gawd for that.

    Episode 2: Foggy is so freaking annoying! Gawd damn, Can a Ninja live?!?

    Do Dare Devil and Iron Fist have different fight choreographers in this series too? Iron Fist's punches too flaccid to me. Where's the Iron in his fists?
