>>90122504That's not what I was saying at all. What the show did with Luke Cage was try and make him for a PC tumblr crowd. They tried to do to much with one character, he was a conservative country ex military and excop on one hand, yet on the other he was supposed to fit into this street level community and be all about Harlem. It didn't work.
When you say I don't think Luke was "black" enough, what do you mean by that? Because there are different types of aspects of the black identity.
What I was proposing was to explore this by keeping Luke Cage (like the comics) as the street level, urban, flawed character who serves as the audience stand-in. Have Pops be the "muh Civil Rights icons" and "muh Harlem Renaissance" character who helps expand and reinforce these things to Cage, and to an extent, the audience. And have Misty be the black conservative, seeing that she's a police and law enforcement.
Instead they tried to completely overhaul Cage's personality (probably thinking the comic version was 'problematic') and failed.
