It actually makes full sense for Luke Cage and Danny Rand to be featured on a street-level team for MCU, even if they renamed the team to Defenders.

I know Luke Cage was never D list, I said Black Lightning was, and I meant that DC is using a black superhero reluctantly fighting street crime in a poor neighborhood and it sounds a bit like what Marvel did with Luke Cage so to many it's yet another case of DC attempting to replicate Marvel's success Luke Cage's SUCCESS?

Come on. Its pacing alone induces unimaginable boredom. At least Black Lightning will give us something flashy with his powers, though I can already imagine the godawful CW dialogues, but eh.

And, you know, I'd wish Marvel tried replicating DC's success, regarding the actual comic books, 'cause those are going down a deeeeep hole between the Scylla of MCU synergy and the Charybdis of delusional and egotistic writers like Spencer, Bendis and Slott. I mean, X-Men has gotten so bad with all the unwanted Inhuman pushes that our very own Uncle Guggie is now somehow one of the few saviors of the franchise. I feel that Guggenheim is good on S.H.I.E.L.D. Making it feel a lot like the show. Maybe if he has free time, he can write an episode.
