OK, not a comics nerd but that get-up is just…
Wow.

That’s the polished version of the original outfit.

Io9, as usual, has a pretty good breakdown.
Reading the comments, I discovered that Dapper Dan- the guy who delivered Luke the suit in episode 5- is apparently a real person who’s something of a legend in black fashion and a regular fixture of Harlem.

On a side note, why is it that half of superheroes have to have those same boots in various colors?

Nitpicking here again. Second gif with him knocking down the Cage section in the hallway.
Just moments before he’d knocked the guy with the big gun out and who would have been laying underneath the cage as it fell down

There are all kinds of real life references in the show; for instance, they mentioned David Dinkins in passing, the only Black mayor of New York City, to date.
Lack of originality in footwear?
That actually bothered my inner pedant too; but I’m so happy to have a positive Black male role model as the lead in a series, that I’m willing to overlook such convenient errors in physics.

SuperMart always has them in a wide variety of colors and sizes. And the memory foam insoles are really comfortable when you are out patrolling for hours at a time.

I’m just now wrapping up the last of the series, and I agree with you;
I’m hating the actor they chose for Diamondback. Dude is too hammy, trying way too hard for that natural ‘aura of menace’ that Mahershala Ali exudes without effort.
Major miscast; I just want him to STFU every time he goes to deliver a line.

Shades wasn’t bad, but he was really just reprising Juice from SoA.

I’m about 5 episodes in so they may address this eventually, but…
Why don’t any bad guys try to shoot him in the face? Especially after watching clip after clip of bullets bounce off his chest?
Even if his eyeballs are bulletproof (and I think nurse Rosario Dawson established they aren’t in Jessica Jones) that crap would have to sting.

Nah, Juice had no spine at all; especially towards the end of SOA.
Shades is… well, shady; and Theo Rossi does a decent job of portraying that.
You know who really ‘crept up on me’ with the impressive character development, though?
Alfre Woodard’s Black Mariah; she is downright insidious.
As brutal as it was, I actually cheered inside a little when she beat the ever-loving shit out Cottonmouth for saying that she had actively encouraged the sexual abuse she suffered at the hands of their uncle. I practically burst into a chorus of the Cell Block Tango, because that muthafucka seriously had it coming.

It’s slow, methodical, like chewing on a piece of meat, or some under-cooked piece of broccoli. I love broccoli in all states. And I’m still chewing.
I will masticate some more on the 'morrow…

LOL, fair call yeah, I’ve got a habit of erasing some of worst stuff. Most of the final season is a big blank.
Isn’t she just. Quality villainy there. Sympathetic, nuanced baddies are something I’d like to see more of.
