Pays dues to the comics Harlem and black culture in this excellent superhero series
Luke Cage was another ambitious and outstanding Marvel series by Netflix. It follows Mike Colter as Cage, the reluctant hero who is dragged into fighting crime in Harlem.<br /><br />The season was a tale of two halves. The first featured Mahershala Ali as the criminal Cottonmouth. He was a complicated man who was both ruthless but also had a sophisticated and caring side on top of a traumatic youth. Every superhero story needs a good villain and Ali provided that in spades.<br /><br />Unfortunately, in the second half Erik LaRay Harvey as Willis Stryker was Cage’s main opponent and he wasn’t half as interesting. In fact, he was pretty stereotypical. His part wasn’t as good as the start.<br /><br />There were a slew of other interesting characters however. Simone Missikc was the cop Misty Knight. Theor Rossi was Shades who worked with Cottonmouth, Frank Whaley as Officer Rafael Scarfe Missike’s partner, Frankie Faison as Pop, Cage’s boss, and Alfre Woodward as Black Mariah a crooked politician.<br /><br />The series also incorporated Harlem and black culture. In one scene for instance Woodward talks about how the borough was a mecca because of writers like Zora Neal Hurston and figures like Malcolm X. Another time Colter and Faison have a discussion of African American mystery writers like Walter Mosley and Chster Himes. Colter also wears a black hoody which was a nod to Trayvon Martin whose killer claimed he was menacing because he wore a sweatshirt.<br /><br />The show gives nods to the comics. It gives Cage’s origins story at Seagate Prison. One time Faison calls Cage power man which was his superhero name. Another time there’s a scene where he where’s an open yellow shirt which was his original look when he first appeared. They even throw in his headband in one part that he wore in the original comics.<br /><br />For Hip Hop heads you might notice that each episode was named after a song by Gangstarr. There’s also one great scene with Ali talking about the Biggie poster he has in his office, and there’s a strong soundtrack as well.<br /><br />Despite the Styker parts Luke Cage is still an excellent superhero series.
