Luke Cage Mahershala Ali is Cornell "Cottonmouth" Stokes

[the last son]

"my name is not cottonmouth"

 

[Hypestyle]

so does he have an action figure yet?
I have yet to see action figures based on the series.

 

[samsnee]

That's Oscar Winner Mahershala Ali.

 

[Flint Marko]

Well deserved win. I will see this man in anything, he's incredible.

 

[KRYPTON INC.]

A great talent that's getting the accolades he deserves...

Which makes how they didn't use him to his fullest in LUKE CAGE all the more egregious.

 

[Hypestyle]

Well, I guess now it's time for some flashback appearances, or his "ghost" when someone hallucinates.

 

[Marvelboi92]

One of the best things about the show and ge meets that terrible fate.
You are gonna run out of villains if you keep doing that

 

[Hypestyle]

he should have been put into a coma. Now he can't come back. Not really.

 

[the last son]

Should've just kept him in prison.

 

[TheVileOne]

It was shocking that they did that and surprising. However, it feels like the show was robbed out of its more natural conclusion of Cottonmouth and his conflict with Luke Cage.

 

[Iceman]

Yeah, people always talk about shock value and stakes but long term it isn't always the best policy.
