Just finished the episode where Cottonmouth died. Did NOT expect that.

No, the show drops off like a rock after that because he was the only thing carrying the show. Diamondback is a terrible character.

I appreciate the homages to blaxploitation films, but I definitely don't appreciate the nonsense of "oh yeah I had a brother, whoopsie musta slipped my mind"

That was straight up nonsense

Unlike most though I still liked watching ALL the netflix shows, even if there's a ton I have to criticize about

Diamondback was such a forced, generic, shitty villain.

Cottonmouth was dope, though.

Diamondback felt like he cam straight out of a Blaxploitation film.

Cottonmouth was wonderfully acted and felt like a character you'd see on The Wire, like a combination of Avon and Stringer.

This. I couldn't stand that cornball Diamondback and the rest of the show really suffers in quality. One of the worse endings I have ever seen too.

He did. He was very campy. Felt like he should be fighting Black Dynamite not Luke Cage. Except nothing Diamondback did was funny or interesting.

Cottonmouth was the best Netflix Marvel villain behind Kingpin. Show dragged after he was killed off.

The twist would have been great if could have followed up with a villain that was at least as compelling as Cottonmouth was but Mariah was just a watered down Cottonmouth and Diamondback was terrible.

He's not saying you're wrong, he's saying that was intentional and the point. If you look at the source material, Luke Cage is part of the blaxploitation era.
I'm not saying it was a good thing, but that was exactly what they were going for with him.

Did not like how they fucked uo by killing Cottonmouth off, he should not have been killed so soon, he was compelling and a great foil to Luke unlike Diamondback.

It was getting very interesting too. Luke said he wanted to make Cottonmouth suffer but we didn't get to see that play out.
