An interesting take on #ShadyMariah as a pairing and in the context of the MCU at large
Also from the article:
This obviously isn’t a problem for Luke Cage. The show is full
of interesting women, and with Shades and Mariah, we get a love story
that evolves into a morally complex thriller. Their relationship works
because Luke Cage’s creators thought deeply about the
characters’ motives, background, and sexuality. It’s the first time I’ve
seen a canon MCU romance with the same emotional depth as fanfiction,
and believe me when I say that Marvel fanfic writers know what’s up.
