The Public's Giving Luke Cage Flack Over Bushmaster Feud In New Season 2 Clip

Just because Luke Cage is serving Bushmaster doesn't mean that he's Teflon against public scorn over what his battle is doing to the community.

It was all good just a few weeks ago, right? When we saw the official Luke Cage Season 2 trailer earlier this month, we got to see two sides of Luke. He was 100% fulfilling the role of being Harlem's Hero, but we also saw the side of him we didn't think we'd see: Luke getting served by someone who could match his strength, the mysterious Bushmaster.

One of the best parts of these Marvel series on Netflix has been their ability to highlight not just what these superpowered beings do when they have to fight, but the aftermath, especially on a human level. In the above clip, we see Luke taking a stroll through the hood and catching it from a number of angles. From cats asking him why there's no footage of his supposed win over Bushmaster to people still being harassed for even looking Jamaican to the youth, who aren't here for Luke not taking care of business.

We assume Luke has a plan, and hope that he'll come out on top, but Bushmaster? He's evenly matched with Luke, and can hurt Power Man. Where will season 2 leave Harlem's Hero? Can he overcome the Bushmaster by season's end? We'll see when the full season hits Netflix on Friday, June 22.
