Luke Cage and Jessica Jones both fell really flat for me, so hopefully this is a bit more engaging.

I hope I like this as much as Luke Cage.
I'm one of those weirdos that didn't like Luke Cage nearly as much as the other Netflix series. The guy that plays him is awesome. Perfect role for him. But the show itself was lacking. It's probably because I didn't like his "supervillian" bad guys at all. The crime lord and his cunty sister were fine, but Copperhead and the special bullets were dumb.

Jessica Jones was my favorite. Not so much for her, but because that villain was awesome. Daredevil had the best action. And Electra is hot.

Luke Cage was probably the most likable protagonist, but I do agree the story kinda took a dump when the Copperhead stuff took the front seat.
Jessica Jones had the best villain for sure. Out of all the shows, he felt the most like the one who could actually cause major trouble. I did like the relationship between her and Luke as well.
Daredevil also gave us one of the best renditions of the Punisher in non-comic form, so can't forget that as well ;p

Luke Cage was the shit (for extra vibes, weave in The Get Down) - until Copperhead bs.
I'm a massive fan of the Captain America / Knight / Paladin archetype.

Something rubs me the wrong way about Iron Fist trailer. and I hope the charging up noise isn't real/.

Im pumped for this show, looks good
The problem I had with Luke Cage was the superman problem....hes invincible so you have to go to such stupid levels to even challenge him....Im so fucking sick of kryptonite it isnt funny. I mean its been the biggest factor in almost every major Superman movie. If your hero only has one weakness then you have to use that one weakness over and over again till its just a silly trope

I've become such a MCU fanboi it's not even funny. I'm all in on the movies, the ABC shows, and the Netflix shows. Mostly I'm excited to see Madam Gao and if they do any Hand stuff, and if they tie in Jeri Hogarth at some point. Jerry Hogarth was the Rand lawyer in the comics I believe. The fights in Daredevil were awesome and I'm hoping for more of the same in Iron Fist, but that cliche cage match was meh.

The choreography in that didn't look great. They used too many strength based moves from a tiny girl.. This isn't jessica jones..

Music in Luke Cage was way too much awesome. Liked everything except Copperhead.

Depending on the version of her they use, she could have enhanced strength. Still looked pretty bad and there were a few times in the fight where she would have gotten absolutely wrecked if her opponents weren't the dumbest fighters on the planet.

I thought the fighting in that video looked like shit.
It makes me hope it is not centered around fighting and martial arts if that is what their fights are going to look like.

Maybe iron fist: the comedy?
