Who'se going to be in Netflix's Defenders??
When I was a kid I seem to remember almost every superhero had a cameo in that group.

Too bad Netflix can't include the Beast in the group.

I really want to get involved in this discussion, but I'm afraid of catching spoilers. So if anything I'm saying has been stated, my bad. I haven't read every post.

1. S.H.E.I.L.D. may not be aware of Cage just yet. I think all of this happens before Jessica Jones. How much before, I don't know. So Coulson and Co. are still up to their necks dealing with Hydra.

They've not yet came looking for DD or Jessica Jones either. I'm betting on Coulson making an appearance on the Defenders at some point.

2. Some of the changes people want to make to Luke Cage, wouldn't be Luke Cage. You'd end up turning him into a whole different character. Luke Cage, at his core, is a street level guy. Always has been. So, this is his environment. The Hood. As much as I'm not into the character, it would be wrong to change him. He has a lot of fans both black and otherwise.

3. Ra, I don't see anything wrong with black people having perfect superheroes, too. Those are the heroes I've always liked the most. Something about a hero doing the right thing, having the perfect solution, and standing morally incorruptible in defiance of all odds, gets me every time. As unrealistic as it might be, I enjoy and embrace that part of the superhero mythology and I want to see black faces behind those masks making the impossible, possible.

It's for that reason characters like Wolverine, The Punisher, and etc ... don't appeal to me. Call me corny. But, whatever.

I'm not coming back to this read until I've watched the rest of the series. Just so ya'll know I'm not ducking anyone. Just don't want to see any spoilers.

I just finished ep 6 and it seems I was wrong about the timeline. I thought all this went down prior to him Cage meeting Jessica Jones. Nope. This is after JJ and season 2 of Daredevil.

Yeah the timeline for all the shows are more or less linear with events. They do a lot of seeding of things for upcoming characters/shows and future seasons for the already released shows. As you get to the end of the series you may (if you are familiar with Iron Fist and his supporting cast) notice some seeding for Iron Fist. They did some big seeding for Iron Fist in the first season of Daredevil in fact.
 
I'm only 4 episodes into "Luke Cage", so I'm trying to avoid spoilers all over the net. But in the last 18 hours, i've seen at least 3 different people on social media or on other forums saying they are white folks are complaining that "Luke Cage" is racist tv show because it has a majority black cast.

Is this true?

Are these people trolling OR have they never seen a TV show or Movie with a majority black cast?

Both! You have some trolling and you have some that don't see the hypocrisy because they are so used to watchign shows where the majority of the cast is white.

Besides it's not like LUKE CAGE didn't give white people prominent roles in the show. Scarfe and Dr. Burstein especially have key roles on the show.

I'm listening today's episode of Tariq Nasheed's podcast & he's discussing why some white folks are complaining about "Luke Cage" (The reason is basically what The Dark King posted). He mentioned they had the exact same issues with the 1992 movie "Boomerang" & that's why the movie had such bad review from critics.

I guess that makes sense. I watched "Boomerang" for the 1st time last year. I did not understand why the movie only had a 38% from critics on Rotten Tomatoes & 45% on Metacritic.
