A youth drama dressed in a superhero costume-"The Cloak and the Dagger Season 1"
Today we will talk about the American drama "The Cloak and the Dagger Season 1".
The title is Cloak & Dagger Season 1 (2018).
If the audience is not familiar with the world of American comics, "The Cloak and the Dagger" is a TV series that the audience does not know that it is produced by Marvel without looking at the title.
There are also various super power settings in the play, but the performance results are not satisfactory. As the first season of the opening, apart from introducing the origins of the cloak and the dagger, this season focuses a lot of energy on the squandering energy of rebellious teenagers. Occasionally involving some family relations, black-hearted monopolies, internal police corruption, racial equality, etc., are all too shallow and short of breath.
The cloak and the dagger are two grumpy teenagers in the play.
There is a sharp contrast between the two, one man and one woman, one black and one white, one poor and the other rich.
Cloak (Cloak) was originally named Tyrone Johnson (Tyrone Johnson), a black male. He has the ability to connect to the world of dark energy, can instantaneously move in a short distance, can see the fear of others, and can also inspire the fear of others. In the comics, he was injected with heroine, which inspired superpowers and became a cloak.
He was born in a poor family. He witnessed his brother being killed by the police at a young age. Since then, he has a psychological shadow on the black police. He is determined to expose the truth, bring the black police to justice, and seek justice for his brother.
Dagger (Dagger) was originally named Tandy Bowen (Tandy Bowen), white female, alias Lady Light (Lady Light). The dagger can produce the light of life in the form of a dagger. She can hold a light dagger, and she can also throw a light dagger. In contrast to the cloak, the dagger can see the hope of others, and can also take away the hope of others and leave endless emptiness and pain. In the comics, she was also injected with heroine, which stimulated her superpowers and became a dagger.
She was born in a wealthy middle-class family, and her father was an executive of a monopolistic enterprise with a wealthy family. She experienced a car accident when she was a child. Her father died unfortunately and she became the backer of the company. So she also determined to expose the ugly face of the monopoly and restore her father's reputation.
Obviously, "The Cloak and the Dagger" takes the route of a youth drama. The two people with completely complementary images, characters and abilities completed only two in the first season. They have not shown the complementation of super powers, and have not yet become adept. partner.
Taking care of the scale of the episode, the origins of the cloak and the dagger have also been appropriately adapted. They were originally potential mutants, and they had super powers after being excited by heroin. Now they directly stimulate super powers from underground energy explosions. This can avoid the copyright issue of mutants, and also make the series geared towards teenagers.
Just like a youth drama focusing on handsome boys and beautiful girls, this season focuses on the rebellious world of young people. In their eyes, in the wrong world, what they see based on their own experience is the truth. The two who survived the catastrophe in their childhood met again under the arrangement of fate eight years later, and they began to find justice in their hearts for their respective families.
What the show really wants to talk about is all kinds of social issues, and it’s not wrong to follow a politically correct way.
At the stage when values are not yet mature, young people have only black and white in their eyes, just like cloaks and daggers.
The cloak and the dagger firmly believed that what they saw was the truth, but they didn't know that many things that they didn't know had happened where they didn't see it. After they had the ability to get a glimpse of the thoughts of others, they saw the fears and hopes of others, as well as many things they didn't want to believe.
Just as Dagger finally chose to take money instead of rehabilitating his father, as they grow older, they also understand that the power of the world is not the truth, but the benefit.
In this season, the villain is set on corrupt police and monopoly companies. After the two clues of cloak and dagger meet, the main villain is the fear monster. I have to say that this villain's setting is a bit foolish, which may be due to cost or script reasons, which is far from the common super-English dramas.
In terms of the effects of the first season, "The Cloak and the Dagger" is only slightly better than the hacked "Inhumans" in one season, and it is comparable to the first season of "Iron Fist", which hates iron and steel.
