Simone Missick Explains What Luke Cage's Characters Would Think of Black Panther

-

WARNING: This article contains SPOILERS for Luke Cage season 2.

Luke Cage actress Simone Missick, who plays Misty Knight on the Netflix series, has shared her thoughts on what some of the members of the cast would think about Black Panther. The Netflix Marvel TV shows are technically in the same universe as the big-screen adventures in the MCU, yet there hasn't really been any cross-pollination between the two. During Luke Cage season 2, the Hulk is even referred to as "the big green monster," not the Hulk, specifically.

The characters of Luke Cage might not never meet King T'Challa, the Black Panther, and not just because of Avengers: Infinity War's ending. However, if Marvel does ever decide to make the protector of Harlem and the king of Wakanda come face-to-face though, Simone Missick has the blueprint they should follow.

Simone Missick recently discussed Black Panther in an interview with Too Fab. After saying that she hopes there's a Wakanda Center in Harlem and every other major borough of New York City, Missick was asked what certain characters would make of Black Panther. Missick didn't run down every Luke Cage character just her own, Misty, Alfre Woodard's Mariah Dillard, and, of course, the main man himself, Mike Colter's Luke Cage. She explained:

"I think Misty would be skeptical. She would see T'Challa and be like, 'Oh, OK. Sure. You're Black Panther.' Because she just doesn't believe anything or anybody. I think Luke ... hmm another alpha male in the mix ... I don't know how he would take that. And then I think Mariah would, you know God rest the dead, but if she were still around she would try to holler at some of the handsome young men. She would try to get her cougar on for the Black Panther."

Obviously some of Missick's answers are meant to be taken a little tongue-in-cheek. Even though Misty is much more involved in the world of superheroes after Luke Cage season 2, she still would have a very hard time accepting T'Challa as the Black Panther and all that implies. Before the end of Black Panther, the common knowledge of very educated people was that Wakanda was an obscure and very poor country. There's no way Misty would believe T'Challa was Black Panther unless given undeniable proof.

Luke Cage and T'Challa, meanwhile, probably would butt heads. Maybe not as much Luke did with Danny Rand upon their first meeting in The Defenders, but close. Likely, though, it would've end up in just as happy a situation as Luke and Danny find themselves in Luke Cage season 2, with the two going from rival to buddies. After all, there is some comic basis for Luke Cage and Black Panther's rivalry and friendship. One of the lesser-known Marvel superhero groups is The Crew. Crew was initially formed in 2003 and gathered together most of Marvel's African-American heroes, including Black Panther, Luke Cage, and Misty Knight. Together, The Crew took on low-level and inner city issues, operating equally in their civilian and super hero personas.

If the Marvel Cinematic Universe ever did want to connect the movies with the TV shows in a meaningful way, which is looking like an increasingly distant possibility, bringing The Crew to live-action in a Black Panther sequel or even a future season of Luke Cage would be one of the best ways to do it. T'Challa did end Black Panther by promising to reach out to disenfranchised people across the world, starting in America. For now though all we have is Simone Missick's thoughts on what could be with a Luke Cage and Black Panther crossover.

There's Only One Blockbuster Video Left in the United States

-

The true end of an American institution draws closer, as after two closings in Alaska, only one Blockbuster Video remains in business in the U.S. It might seem like a lifetime ago to many, but before subscription streaming services like Netflix and Amazon dominated the home video rental market, the good old-fashioned video store was king. The biggest player in that industry up until its final gasps as a major force was Blockbuster Video, which employed over 58,000 people and operated over 4500 stores in the U.S. at the company's peak in 2004. Blockbuster Video was founded in 1985, naturally right around the beginning of movie rentals as a whole. The company dominated the 80s and 90s, and became culturally ubiquitous. Of course, it wasn't always widely known for good reasons. Things like lacking supplies of new releases, annoying late fees, and Blockbuster's tendency to put surrounding independent video stores out of business by undercutting their prices, all became inf

WARNING: The following article contains SPOILERS for Disenchantment . - Fans of Matt Groening's work will not be surprised to learn that Disenchantment - the new fantasy series Groening created for Netflix - contains a number of Easter eggs and references to his earlier work. The early seasons of The Simpsons   often made reference to Groening's comic strip Life In Hell , and the sci-fi comedy  Futurama   also paid tribute to Groening's past creations - even before an official crossover  was arranged between Springfield's favorite family and the employees of Planet Express. To that end, we've attempted to inventory all of the subtle nods and sight-gags in Disenchanted that pay tribute to the earlier animated series and comics - from familiar wigs to a potential shared universe.

Harry Potter: 20 Things Everyone Gets Wrong About Voldemort

Tom Marvolo Riddle started out as an orphan at a muggle orphanage. He was convinced that he had a destiny greater than mundane obscurity. Then Albus Dumbledore arrived and told Riddle that he was a wizard. Riddle jumped at the chance to go to Hogwarts. However, he had already developed cruel and selfish tendencies - tendencies that he carefully worked to hide from the Hogwarts students and staff. He quietly expanded his knowledge, power, and influence until he reemerged many years later as Lord Voldemort. Voldemort spread such a reign of terror across Great Britain that the magical community as a whole feared to speak his name. They only referred to him as “You Know Who” or “He Who Must Not Be Named.” Just when he was at the height of his power, Voldemort was defeated and banished after an encounter with an infant. Harry Potter became known as the Boy Who Lived. For the rest of his life, Voldemort was obsessed with regaining his power and destroying Harry Potter, the supposed chos
