They can't all take it off like Luke Cage.
Luke Cage doesn't take off his own shirt. Luke Cage has his shirt shot off in tatters by bad guys.
--Patrick
He should just fight naked.
That's the joke.
The joke is why the baddies don't shoot his pants off first, that way he'd have to hide from the camera for the rest of the episode and they could go through with their evil plans unhindered.
--Patrick
Yes they do. Thank you, bad guys!
Didn't we already post a comic of this?
We posted the one about why WW deflects bullets with her bracelets, but I don't think there's one that demonstrates Luke Cage's particular problem, so here's a reasonable facsimile:
--Patrick
I think you're fishing for someone to post a comic of that
As best as I can recall, The actor for Danny didn't get cast until about 2 months before shooting started. He never really got a chance to get physically ready for the role, ripped/fight choreography wise. I thought he did alright with the character aspects of it. The writing for his character could have been handled a bit better.
Wait, I'm the only person who remembers this:

No, I remember it too, and was going to post it, but couldn't find the image

I have finished Jessica Jones, Iron Fist, and Daredevil season 1. I'm starting Luke Cage now.
It's a slow start so far. And that's saying something, because one of the biggest faults of the Netflix Marvel universe is the glacial pacing. And geez, they must've had this show bought and paid for before they started filming, given the sheer number of product shots and callouts in the first scene alone. Knicks, the entire NBA roster, Carhartt, Kumon...

You're watching them out of chronological order, too, which might cause some confusion. It goes DD1->JJ->DD2->LC->IF

Sorry. I had to fix that for you. I hate doing that but the LK bugged me.

That's okay. I went on a rant today talking about how the FCC doesn't give a shit about consumers and only listen to lobbyists and conglomerates, etc. The guy responded, "I said the FTC."
Oh.

Sometimes I will say it just like her.Heh.
Punisher season 1 is coming in November.
That's how I felt when it was announced, but now? It's gotta be better than Iron Fist.

I stopped LC and switched to DD2 instead.
I thought LK was okay. Nothing to call the FCC about.
Ohhhhhh.

How is it there are a jillion Marvel intellectual properties on Netflix, including Captain America Civil War, and yet not any of the early MCU movies? Avengers is not there, for example. Why am I paying for this again, instead of just pirating, when a 4 terabyte drive is just $120?
