me too, I can't wait to see Danny Rand, The Immortal Iron Fist, Weapon of Kun Lun, Sworn Enemy of The Hand and fullfilling his destiny again in Luke Cage Season 2. Gotta say, he's been upgraded in Defenders, and despite his whining 6 year old kid tantrum, he was a badass martial artist against The Hand in that mini series. Can't wait to see him in Luke Cage and his second season with a whole new showrunner.
I, too, am excited to see if Danny Rand, the Immortal Iron Fist, Sworn Enemy of the Hand and Protector of Kun Lun will make an appearance in this season. Heroes for Hire isn't complete without Danny Rand, the Immortal Iron Fist, Sworn Enemy of the Hand and Protector of Kun Lun!
@@DedricSilva blade is gonna be top tier inmedietly for that, cottonmouth always seemed to be loosing against luke but he stole and always seemed in control during every scene he was in
Yeah, I thought the general consensus was that, while most could UNDERSTAND what the actor and director were going for with Diamondback (ie, an over-the-top Blaxploitation-style villain), it really just didn't gel properly.
The season lost a lot the moment Cottonmouth died. Diamondback felt like too much of a typical comic book villain. I just could not empathize with him like I did Cottonmouth.
Killing off Stokes and replacing him with Diamondback was a huge mistake. I hope we get more Mariah and less Diamondback this season cuz at least Alfre Woodard is a talented actress. Also, "coffee" with Mike Colter would be amazing I imagine
mickyjoe97 Actually letting Cottonmouth live is a huge mistake. He figured out Luke's past as Carl Lucas. Know what that means? He can tell the cops that Luke is a convict and he can have Luke sent to jail prematurely with no hope of his innocence being proven, which would ruin Luke's chance of showing up in The Defenders. Also, I find it funny that everyone is talking about Mariah now, when ironically she was largely ignored by fans, covered in Cottonmouth's shadow back when season 1 and The Defenders were fresh, everyone was like "praise Cottonmoth, diss Diamondback", no one said a word about Mariah, even though she proves to be more open minded and intelligent than her cousin.
LightStreak567 Well I was always a fan of Mariah, despite her killing Cottonmouth and was hoping she'd take over as the main antagonist for the second half. And when you put it like that I guess killing him off prob did serve the show in the long run but it still sucks when a great actor like Ali has to leave a show, much like in House of Cards 🤣
Hilarious rapid-fire, and useful. It would be great for all The Defenders to do things like this. (Side note: music is important for this show. The Wu Tang scene would've been a fun ending. Maybe the music rights weren't there.)
Wait, people didn't like diamondback?? Don't get me wrong, I loved cottonmouth but diamondback was great. He had a ton of corny lines which he made sound not corny. I didn't like mariah though, I wish she was killed instead of cottonmouth
Just A guy Perhaps I should have said "don't have time to rewatch". I have of course watched the show entirely, but it's been awhile so I wanted a refresher just before season two, but I also wanted to pass all my uni exams so I didn't have time to rewatch.
Spoilers Spoilers Spoilers Luke Cage becomes the owner of Harlem's Paradise. Mariah Dillard gets killed by "Nightshade" (its tilda lmao) Uh and also him and claire broke up
God this reminds me of how badass early season 1 of this show was. Such a twist of events that get so twisted when someone who can’t be shot walks into the picture.
Just started watching Luke Cage. The series are amazing. I hope they continue making Luke cage and cast the same actors. After daredevil this ranks second best. Love the music too especially by Raphael Saadiq.
Let me sum it up. First half of the season was great because of cottonmouth and once they killed him off, it really sucked. Wtf where you guys thinking?
Hamza Khaliq Luke cage season 1 is before defenders and iron fist, at the ending of luke cage Claire sees a dojo she’s interested in which leads her to iron fist season 1
Dude an audio book narrated by Colter would be awesome.
YESSSS
"It's Stokes Mariah Stokes" - Bushmaster
"Bushmaster them call me Bushmaster" -Bushmaster
Ray “it’s Dillard Mariah Dillard” - Mariah. She says this to multiple people whilst bushmaster says the opposite 😂
I take a shot everytime and i just drink Green Tea when he says it.
Gotta love that coffee. Jessica Jones sure drinks a ton.
GrimLore you think they did that in real life as well? 😂
Dave Elzacky method acting os whack
“They have ummm...coffee” 😂 I died laughing when he said that. Can’t wait for Season 2, bench watching it tomorrow.
This is a lot more complicated then I remember
Mike Colter is the perfect actor to play Luke Cage. Just like RDJ with Iron Man.
George Lucas you’re right George
George Lucas Wrong. Chad Coleman should have played Luke Cage.
Murdock The Pooch Hmm sounds like a good debate
Murdock The Pooch chad coleman isn’t ripped enough
George Lucas I dunno......i kind of find him soft and swag-less still enjoy the show but he comes off kinda corny sometimes
I'm really glad this was made because I don't remember half of this stuff
Pour one out for Cottonmouth and Pops.
Jameel Scott Pour out some coffee
Trevor NYG 😂😂😂
Jameel Scott r.i.p brothers you both will be missed.
fool, this ain't english class
Pour one Reg E. Cathy his final role is playing Luke Cage dad in Season 2 R.I.P. Freddie
I really look forward to seeing Danny Rand, the Immortal Ironfist, Sworn Enemy of the Hand and Protector of Kun'lun along side Luke Cage this season.
Shalvyn Anduthras Did you say that Danny Rand, the Immortal Iron Fist, sworn enemy of the Hand, and protector of K'un-Lun is in this season?
Murdock The Pooch yea they released a screenshot before it got out.

Cottonmouth was one of the coldest mcu villains i can think of. Wish he stayed alive a bit longer
Agree, at least Mahershalla Ali is returning to the MCU as Blade.
@@DedricSilva blade is gonna be top tier inmedietly for that, cottonmouth always seemed to be loosing against luke but he stole and always seemed in control during every scene he was in
I think we can all agree that................. this season should have had less Diamondback and more coffee.
Coffee is always better.
Yeah, I thought the general consensus was that, while most could UNDERSTAND what the actor and director were going for with Diamondback (ie, an over-the-top Blaxploitation-style villain), it really just didn't gel properly.
Wow, this man was born to narrate. I could listen to him explain everything all day long.
Sweet Christmas 😂😂😂
Dave Elzacky SWEET SISTER!
Dave Elzacky h
Dave Elzacky - lol
His voice is so relaxing lmao
5:37 *looks at the camera* twist 😂😂😂 lmfao

Paul T Sjordal Is there a reason they’re named after snakes? I haven’t watched the show yet but I’m curious
Step B. SW223000 Symbolism.
He was still a threat to Cage and I felt that
Till the last episode
He was still a threat to Cage and I felt that

Diamondback was awful, so over the top and over acted. I was surprised they didn't give him a moustache to twirl.
I want his shirt I also want him to read me a bedtime story
TheChopstickKid stfu
@Smiley I mean, it is a nice shirt
Sinestro nobody cares about Sinestro loser

It wasn't in the budget to keep Ali on for more than 7 episodes. Oscar winning actors don't come cheap!
George Lucas I don't think he was nominated during his run during the first season whereas Alfre Woodard was but I see your point
LightStreak567 Well I was always a fan of Mariah, despite her killing Cottonmouth and was hoping she'd take over as the main antagonist for the second half. And when you put it like that I guess killing him off prob did serve the show in the long run but it still sucks when a great actor like Ali has to leave a show, much like in House of Cards 🤣
This needs to happen with every show. My memory suck man.
*Mike looks at the camera straight deadpan*
Twist
Can I just have Mike Colter read me a bedtime story every night?
Luke Cage is very charming. His coffee game still tight xD Cuban roast, light roast, dark roast xD
they have umm "coffee" could not stop laughing
I love the way that Mike says 'Coffee' 😂
DO THIS FOR THR PUNISHER, JESSICA JONES, DAREDEVIL AND IRON FIST PLEASEEEEEE
AHHH I'm so happy that Luke cage is becoming bigger because it's such a good show and Mike is such a good actor sjsjsjs
0:40 that “coffee” was good huh? ;) ☕️
Stokes should not have been killed off for shock factor. His character was built up so much, killing him off was a total waste.
Personally, I like Cottonmouth as little as Diamondback... Two very generic characters :S:S
Cottonmouth was killed because the actor had another show to do and he didn't want his character to live
Cottonmouth's death makes way to Mariah's development so I am fine with that.
“No I Am Your Father”
- Vader
5:36
Am I the only one who thinks iron fist and Luke cage should get a show together
Sean Field they should. Colter is the best thing about the MCU shows.
You mean Heroes for Hire?
Hilarious rapid-fire, and useful. It would be great for all The Defenders to do things like this. (Side note: music is important for this show. The Wu Tang scene would've been a fun ending. Maybe the music rights weren't there.)
He has such a nice, welcoming voice especially when he says "Hi, I'm Mike Colter"
Great commentary and recap Luke cage
Cottonmouth was the best thing about season 1
Odin: What are you? God of Hardened Skin?
Luke Cage: Nope, God of Coffee.
So much storyline. Love it.
Afolarin Shonubi Same
Yeah right that was a lot of hot coffee LOL😂
Very good Summary man :)
“Coffee” 😂😂
He so well spoken, he sounds like a newsanchor
Wait, people didn't like diamondback?? Don't get me wrong, I loved cottonmouth but diamondback was great. He had a ton of corny lines which he made sound not corny. I didn't like mariah though, I wish she was killed instead of cottonmouth
Totally agree plus unlike Cottonmouth, Diamondback actually was a threat to Luke Cage.
i loved cottonmouth and i hated how mariah killed him
Δημήτρης Μπάρδας Not only that either, but Diamondback and Luke actually had a personal history which made that hero/villain dynamic even deeper.
Yeah that's exactly why Diamondback was a threat to Luke Cage
4:00 was that “coffee” any better? 😉 ☕️
*COFFEE*? YEA I DONT THINK THATS WHAT HAPPEND😂😂😂
As long he knows he is not faster than usain bolt.
Sadly, in a lot of the netflix series, the season goes on too long. The season didn't have enough material for thirteen episodes.
Shouldnt they have explained how he got out of jail at the end of Season1? Skipping the beginning of Defenders is weird I believe
Now im in the mood for some coffee
Is it crazy that I want infinite audio books by him?
This is incredibly awesome!
0:35 ☕ if ya know ya know
Luke Cage breaking down his life story
Classic
Thank you! Didn't quite have time to watch it all before season two
Naomi Lamont it’s been out for over a year
Just A guy Perhaps I should have said "don't have time to rewatch". I have of course watched the show entirely, but it's been awhile so I wanted a refresher just before season two, but I also wanted to pass all my uni exams so I didn't have time to rewatch.
They need to do Season 2
Coffee and Chill
Mike Colter has such a great voice. I’d like him to narrate more stuff possibly even audio books
Good stuff!
Spoilers Spoilers Spoilers
Luke Cage becomes the owner of Harlem's Paradise.
Mariah Dillard gets killed by "Nightshade" (its tilda lmao)

Inspector Ridley...how bout some coffee ?
Thanks you saved me a season

I hope that catches everyone up on Luke Cage Season 1
“ Stokes ... Mariah Stokes “
God this reminds me of how badass early season 1 of this show was. Such a twist of events that get so twisted when someone who can’t be shot walks into the picture.
I love Luke Cage watched every season Sweet Christmas
You forgot to say that Misty lost her arm in the Defenders.
Bananaforscale in the defenders not luke cage so not in the video
Alfred Fonseca It's a recap for season 2 and it has huge influence on it
Bananaforscale the title says that it’s a recap of just Luke cage season 1
It doesn't really matter, someone should explain this fact.
His voice is amazing
Mike sounds so much happier than Luke, as if the weight of Harlem isn't bearing down on his shoulders
Cant Wait to See Shades, Diamond Back. Iron Fist. and of Course The Man himself Sweat Christmas
THE BAND OF RA Sweet*
I love that meaning. Coffee.
Ahhhh I need season 3
Mike Colter is the man!
@VanityFair have cw actors recap their shows so far, PLEASE 😭😭😭
the guy who played diamond back gae me a sam jackson vibe to it
Thank you!
Coffee? Riiiight😂😊
I was watching LC season 2 and I didn't even remember who Candace was, but she was mentioned a lot.
This could've saved me 12 hours
minute of silence for those who didn't get the coffee joke:)
mike was an awesome luke kage i hope he can I hope he can reappraise the roll someday.
‘Coffee’
Just started watching Luke Cage. The series are amazing. I hope they continue making Luke cage and cast the same actors. After daredevil this ranks second best. Love the music too especially by Raphael Saadiq.
Please🙏 brings this back
I really hope we get to see Luke and Jessica back together in the MCU soon
Any way I can steal his voice asking for a friend
You forgot Shades being in prison with Luke
Hes like the big brother I always wanted 😁
They have uh coffee 😂
I love you Vanity Fair

Favorite serie

Have fun recapping season 3
Let me sum it up. First half of the season was great because of cottonmouth and once they killed him off, it really sucked. Wtf where you guys thinking?
weeeeeeeeeeeee neeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeed S3 damit !
Luke Cage season 2 needs 100% more 'coffee'.
With Danny Rand hahaha
@@maguicontrera9559 Honestly I'm fine with that. Lol.
3:47 He forgot to mention The Iron Fist and The Defenders.
Hamza Khaliq Luke cage season 1 is before defenders and iron fist, at the ending of luke cage Claire sees a dojo she’s interested in which leads her to iron fist season 1
Luke isn't even in Iron Fist. It is a pretty big omission that Misty got freaking dismembered in Defenders though.
YumLemmingKebabs Yes but Claire is in the Iron Fist.
And nothing happened to her there that would matter for Season 2 of Luke Cage.
thesatanic6 He met Claire in Jessica Jones.
The MCU's truly first black super-hero. Nobody cares about Falcon.
TheReccher Black Panther was 1st
Agent Coleson MCU
What?
At least you remmeber falcon, war machine on other hand...
War machine was here when the MCU was created. Stfu and pay some respect, boy,
