Going back to one of your earlier posts about villains and music. It’s not just that the villains are music fans, they also support up and coming artists.

they appreciate the classics and the contemporary!

AND THEY MAKE TIME FOR MUSIC!!!

when Shades wanted to talk and Mariah was like no, wait, I like this song.

when everyone attentively watches the rehearsals.

Somehow anytime the club is destroyed, the music is never cancelled. The show goes on!

Or how they’ll keep the club open even when they’re both in danger

I hadn’t even noticed that! “the cops are on us” “oh well krs-one is on tonight see you then”

but they’re flaunting, flashy villains. that’s not their style anyway.

Speaking of the club and music, there was a quote by the director that basically says whoever is at the helm of the club controls the music. We saw it with Cornell, Mariah, and Bushmaster. What would the club have been playing if Mariah did sell it to Shades? Or even if Mariah didn’t sell, but ended up in jail without turning it over to Luke and just ran the club through Shades. Would he defer to her music taste or interject his own style?

I looked at Theo Rossi’s Spotify playlist for Shades and it’s a lot of rap. Namely east coast. I think he’d go with Immortal Technique, Cam’ron, Joey Badass, Jean Grae, etc.

When I started out in this business, everybody wanted to be film stars. I started off, like a lot of young actors, doing a lot of television. I think at one point I guest starred on every TV show on the air. Sons came along right at the beginning of the golden age of television. It was right when The Sopranos, Breaking Bad and The Walking Dead were all coming on, and we were all hitting at the same time. It was the beginning of what we’re living in now. I felt like in a way that Sons was almost equal to me doing five great films. I also feel like Luke Cage has capitalized so much on what Sons had set up. Now that I’m on Netflix with Marvel, and to be on the number one show on Netflix in Luke Cage, it’s like cable television 2.0. I’ve been very lucky and very fortunate in my decisions and in the people who wanted me to be with them with things like Sons and Luke Cage.

Here’s Why Alfre Woodard’s Sensuality On “Luke Cage” Is So Important

ghostridetheship:

In Season 2, Episode 1, when we first see the Marvel villain — or Harlem Queen, depending on who and when you ask — she’s at dinner with her stockbroker and partner in business and pleasure, Shades (Theo Rossi). In real life, Woodard is more than 20 years Rossi’s senior, and the same assumption can be made for their characters. This, in part, is why when the waiter at the restaurant comes to the table in the scene, he mistakes Shades for Mariah’s nephew. Instead of getting angry, Mariah responds by picking up Shades’ hand and seductively putting his thumb in her mouth, then sucking it gently, making it clear to the waiter, the people around them, and the people at home watching, that there’s nothing platonic or maternal about their relationship. The best part about it? None of that was in the script.

“In the script she kisses Shades on the neck and then looks at the waiter,” Woodard explained to BuzzFeed News. “But before we shot the scene, I told Theo to go wash his hands with soap and water and not to touch anything on his way back. [When I did it], I could feel Theo wanted to laugh, and as soon as they yelled ‘cut!’ everyone on set screamed,” she said with a chuckle.
