In a Netflix series that’s packed to the brim with relevant social, there are several moments in the sequence that feel incredibly empowering — while also remaining completely and utterly badass.
Set to Wu-Tang Clan’s “Bring Da Ruckus” the sequence shows Luke using his formidable strength and durability to take down a legion of heavily armed thugs and plow through the reinforced defenses of the building.
The best part of the entire sequence is the fact that Luke doesn’t use the money he steals from the gang compound for personal gain; he takes what he needs to get Pop’s Barber Shop up and running again and leaves the rest for the cops.
Luke Cage is pretty much chock full of badass superhero moments (seriously, his showdown with Diamondback in the Season 1 finale is one for the books) but the absolute best moment from the entire first season comes during Luke’s assault on Crispus Attucks.
