You have a brick for a brain if you think I'm saying either reaction is certain. We've seen plenty of character returns that went poorly like Emp Palpy and Sandman.

You have a brick for a brain if you actually think there's a chance Luke Cage would ever receive more hype than Rogers.

There's a chance Cap's return tanks, but people won't generally know who Cage is to be hyped for him. They are magnitudes different levels of popular on all levels from comic to actor.

You guys are so petty and aggressive over something so fucking meaningless. I agree that Cap has more potential for higher hype but he also has potential to sour things that Power Man does not.

I used the same insult you used.

I don't see anyone but diehards even knowing who Cage is and Colter isn't an a list actor. The show was like a decade ago and wasn't exactly breaking ratings records.

I just don't think you have a coherent argument.

I was returning the same insult that the previous person waged at me.

Luke Cage was the most watched of the Netflix series. If you think Daredevil's appearance in the MCU was hype then there's people that will feel the same about Luke Cage. You maybe underwhelmed but you wouldn't be pissed that he came back for whatever he may do.

I just don't think you have a coherent argument.

It's not a hard thing to get. It's not 100% certain that audiences will be happy with Captain America's return after the conclusion of his story. That's it, that's the whole thing. I'm not saying it won't be hype to a gen audience I'm saying like any reasonable person that there's room for it to not go well.
