Luke Cage (2016–2018)
6/10
The Magic Bullett
20 July 2017
Warning: Spoilers
SPOILERS OK so maybe not the best of the Defenders related series but reasonable popcorn eating fare. But then the Acid Bath Scene with the Mad Scientist had me wondering if the writers had just given up.

To be clear: Cage has been shot twice by exploding JUDAS bullets. Once in the left side gut & then in the right side shoulder.

Claire couldn't remove the fragments, which were moving deeper towards his "organs", cos his skin to too tough.

So off they go to find Seagate's ex Mad Scientist to see if could help. Using the convenient Ultrasound gadget Claire is able to remove 3 fragments from Cage's shoulder wound, which has softened thanks to the Acid bath & some MSG. Job Done? Cage emerges directly from the tank. But wait what about the 1st gut shot? Maybe the acid ate that one? A Magic Bullett?

That was pretty poor and sadly the remainder of the series just went down hill from there. In the final wash Mad Scientist is now miraculously treating Stryker under police guard. The only thing Missing was Prince singing Acid Rain Purple Rain.
