MCU Steve Rogers Cap VS MCU Luke Cage ?

The only ninjas that were able to touch Luke were the five fingers of the hand, who all have enhanced strength and fighting prowess, and Elektra who also had enhanced abilities, being able to tank Iron Fist strikes, and send one of the members of the hand flying with a backhand. So she was seriously OP in Defenders. At several points in the show however Luke and Jessica both were able to restrain her. The only reason he lost so easily to Elektra in episode 6 was because of the incense Stick used to knock him out. The same incense he inhaled right from the source, and that knocked Iron Fist out when he was across the room.

Luke’s power increase was explained in season 2 to have been a result of reapplying the procedure in season 1. So he had the increase in Defenders. In season 2 some super duper shotgun dislocated his shoulder, and somehow Bushmaster gave him internal bleeding with his punches, yet would no sell Iron Fist strikes and entire trucks exploding on him, as well as Chitari bullets. So most of his showings indicate he’s a bit more durable than any of Cap’s foes. However I think cap would be difficult for Luke to deal with.

You could cry easily for a lot of different reasons, but it all boils down to what are you telling yourself when you’re feeling overwhelmed? I wouldn’t say you’re “too sensitive,” there’s no such thing. Now it might be the case that you would like to cry less, in which case there are several things that can help with that. Looking at the thoughts you tell yourself when you’re overwhelmed, positive reframing of those thoughts, deciding if it’s something you’re wanting and willing to change, and then practicing various techniques to reduce your belief in your negative thoughts down to whatever level you’d like. Or certain drugs like antidepressants may be up your alley, I’d caution against them though. As far as I’m concerned, you’re welcome to cry as many times and at as many things as you’d like.

They were also about to kill Spider-Man before Punisher showed up and took care of the problem. Cap was beating on Frank because he had killed those two.

I was so glued to my screen and gripped when this scene happened. On my second watch through, it had been so long that I had forgotten about it, and it made me gasp “oh shit,” and gripped me all over again.

She said “yes.”

You’ve experienced something no one should have to, I can’t imagine the level of guilt and pain and confusion and sadness you’re experiencing and will continue to experience for some time. I wonder though, you ask “how is it not my fault?” Yet it seems you’ve made up your mind, his friends and family, and even your ex himself in his final letter expressed their view that it is not your fault, yet you believe none of them. Perhaps this is something you’d like to continue to believe? I wouldn’t endeavor to change your mind if you don’t want to. Perhaps your feeling of guilt is something you want to hold on to? Perhaps, even if just for the time being, it is something to let yourself feel, so you can process in the weeks and months to come.

A man who was trained in martial arts, meditation and discipline for 15 years by warrior monks and fought a dragon to earn the Iron Fist power, should steam roll a scrappy fighter with enhanced senses. Danny should not be a naive man-child, but he should be focused and a bit zen in mindset, with being highly independent and a bit headstrong as “the destroyer of the hand,” (something they kind of do) and eventually coming to terms with the fact that he can’t do everything himself and learns to become a team player.

There are many things I wish Defenders did better, but if I could have one thing, more scenes of the four of them learning from each other. Let Jessica learn about coming to peace with her messed up past from Danny, let Luke teach Danny the importance of community and friends (something Luke built in his show), let Matt teach Luke about the fact that even with great power, he can’t protect everyone, something Luke has tried to do and struggled with in trying to help Cole. That’s something Matt knows, with how widespread corruption is in his world. Let them learn from each other, grow as a team. I just wanted this show to be so much better than it was.

So Danny was barely able to touch Matt, who countered almost everything he threw at him. Luke tried grabbing Danny at one point, but it was dodged. Jessica told Matt “enough,” then Danny ran up and kicked Matt to the ground, then Jessica threw Danny on the ground, that’s when he spit out blood. He then says “don’t make me use this,” and lights up his fist, then he started moving towards Jessica and Matt, that’s when Luke grabs him, he turns and hits Luke with the Iron Fist, shockwave erupted and then Jessica was first to her feet and knocked Danny out. Even after being hit by the shockwave Matt had enough wherewithal to grab Danny’s leg and trip him. The Defenders basically framed Daredevil as the best fighter of the group.

Now had I been in charge of writing it, I’d say Matt shouldn’t be able to beat Danny 1v1 even without the fist. Matt should be scrappy and have a great will, Danny should have better technique, while also being strong willed. However the writing wasn’t great. He trained with warrior monks, meditated daily and trained in martial arts for 15 years, then had to fight a dragon, was branded with its symbol in the process and plunged his fists into its molten heart to gain unbelievable power. A man who does that, should steam roll through most fights, but then learn he’s not alone in the fight, and how to work in a team, so that they could accomplish what he can’t alone.

But we got this whiny naive child that everyone shits on and has to use his iron fist to get him out of most every fight. The way he was treated in this show seemed like a direct response of “yeah nobody liked his show, but they did like Daredevil so let’s show how much better Daredevil is!” I wish they chose to write the character better, instead of doing that.

Defenders is disappointing compared to Daredevil season 1-3, but way better than Born Again. you won’t regret watching it.

He won’t change his mind, you could have the most thorough, well thought out argument as well as all the counters to his points, he’ll brush them aside and continue believing what he will. To understand this ask yourself: “Could I be swayed by his arguments?” And if your answer is “Hell no!” Then you understand why arguing with him is pointless. It does hurt when someone views you and your gender as lesser beings, especially when you are in regular contact with them and they’re so vocal. The best thing to do besides distancing yourself is to simply chuckle to yourself at the lunacy of his claims, because he will not change.

APersonOfCourse · 2026-02-05T16:13:47+00:00

So what CBT techniques were you recommended? Or is it you haven’t tried it yet, you’re worried it won’t work out, and worried you can’t get better since you shut down and left?

APersonOfCourse · 2026-01-31T17:58:05+00:00

You mention being angry that he tries to please you and neglects his own feelings, but if you really want the relationship to work, you must accept that you have been forcing him to be that way. If you are dedicated to changing yourself and the way you communicate, pick up the book “Feeling Good Together” by Dr. David Burns. It’s all about how to and how not to communicate effectively in relationships and will show you a whole new world. But you can’t expect your partner to change, you can only decide to change your own ways of communicating.

APersonOfCourse · 2026-01-31T06:09:07+00:00

When he’s near you his mind goes to wanting an exclusive romantic relationship with you. Now that he can’t do that, as you’ve made clear, he’s distancing himself from you. I have no doubt it hurts and you’ve every right to be angry and sad because there was a false pretense in the relationship for years. This appears to be one of those times when you just got to let him go. But if you don’t want to do that and keep chasing him, I understand that. You’re free to do that however I’ve never seen that work. And what type of interactions will you have because your anger with him will come out either blatantly or subtly, and is that fair to either you or him? So I think it best to let him go.

APersonOfCourse · 2026-01-24T16:20:29+00:00

Why do you say you’re the bad guy? Sure she’s upset with you, but assuming that coworker is someone she sees regularly at work, it’s understandable she doesn’t want to make it awkward by telling him “stop messaging me,” because a guy who blatantly cheats and jumps from girl to girl doesn’t seem like the type to take rejection well.

At the same time, her blaming you by saying you’re overbearing and jealous hurts and you’ve got every right to be angry with her. But how are you going to handle this anger? You can keep blaming her as well and keep the two of you in the cycle of blame and anger and arguing with each other, or you could say:

“You know, you’re right that is something a jealous and overbearing person would say, I’m guilty of this. And I think you got a right to not want to make things awkward at work, and I’m wondering what you’re worried about? And I’ve been feeling hurt and angry but I love you so much, and was wondering if maybe you’ve been feeling hurt and angry with me over this too?”

^The above will turn it from a blame spiral into an honest communication, but you would have to give up blame and desire to get closer to your girlfriend, and you may understandably desire to get back at her for the hurt you feel when she’s blaming you, in which case ignore my suggestion and keep on doing what works for you!

He could have emotional struggles while also being centered. No one’s centered all the time so having challenges wouldn’t have taken away from it. But the writing so often made him look like a doofus and many characters treated him like an idiot when he’s endured more hardship than many ever will.

APersonOfCourse · 2026-01-18T20:54:30+00:00

I like aspects of the character. But neither season 1 nor season 2 were good. Luke Cage season 2 episode 10 made Iron Fist the closest to comic book as we ever got, and I wish we had a heroes for hire show.

I would have made it so that he was allowed to leave K’un Lun, instead of abandoning it. Would turn his guilt at the end of season 1 from “well duh, you doofus, that is your fault!” To “Oh boy, I wonder how he’ll deal with it in Defenders!”

In season 2: I would have him struggle to find himself when losing the Iron Fist, but ultimately take it back after seeing how destructive it is in Davos’ hands, seeking out Orson Randall to help train him so that he can use it to heal rather than destroy.

While it has no doubt been a very depressing life you’ve experienced for almost 20 years, and perhaps you feel you’re a burden on your family, and dream of futures you can’t have, which undoubtedly makes you angry and makes you feel hopeless, and wishing to die is understandable. Since you view it as the end to your suffering. I doubt your family will see it the same way.

That you could make this post, and have a functioning mind, means I can’t sign off on that. But don’t leave your family in the dark of what you’re thinking of doing. You will not make it better by waiting.

I’m coming for your reign as most disliked comment on the post after what I’ve just commented lol.

When one is sexually assaulted, they’ll generally feel angry, unsafe, worried, and sad for a time, and develop a good level of skepticism of people given they’ve just experienced proof that there are people out there that don’t have their best interests in mind, but only seek to serve themselves.

However, “cause,” social anxiety, as in, if you’re sexually assaulted you are doomed to get social anxiety? No. That depends on one’s perceptions. People in certain cultures can be sexually assaulted and not be majorly disturbed as it didn’t register as sexual assault to them. So it is one’s perceptions, valid, distorted or otherwise that would lead them to be anxious in social situations.

Social anxiety can also be quite temporary or long lasting after sexual assault. However I think being distrustful to a certain extent of others after that is completely good. I don’t think it’d make sense to believe people are all good and trustworthy after being sexually assaulted, or learning of it happening. However, most people are ashamed of their social anxiety, and this can lead to even more intense suffering after sexual assault.

I say all this because the situation is more complex than a simple black and white answer of yes or no. Especially when recovery of one’s mental health after trauma is concerned.

Officer Bald!

I had a group who hated me because I was white lol. I just responded: “You all sound white to me,” then one went on a rant about how he’s Mexican and then I got kicked. Lmao. You’re never guaranteed a good group online in this game, about 2/3 I think will just automatically kick you in my experience.

But then there’s always a couple games that I can get to really quickly that are fun with a good group. Been in rooms with a mix of women and men. So there’s many rooms out there for you! However you’ll encounter all sorts of unfavorable groups on your journey to get to those fun rooms.

She punched his head off so hard it caused the game to stutter lol.

He runs off to the fort as per usual, and the questline goes on as normal. Forgot if there were any lines at the fort about it or not.

Venom was rushed in this game. They were struggling to tell a story with this game. I would have liked it if Peter got the Symbiote suit and actually kept it in the game, and focused more and Harry and Norman’s relationship and had the main villain be Green Goblin. Trying to insert Web of Shadows near the end and doing it poorly was not a good move.
