5. Misty And Luke Cage – Luke Cage
After Luke Cage and Jessica Jones shared the reality of super sex in the latter’s Netflix show in 2015, the big guy returned with his own show in 2016 to prove that he’s also capable of more tender, human-level sex with non-powered partners. And the results were no less fiery as he and Misty Knight ended there first meeting with a steamy sex scene all wrapped up in a delightfully nostalgic sepia filter.
You just knew it was going to be magic as soon as she invited him for coffee only for both of them to admit they don’t like coffee, before a lingering look and a smash-cut to them back at his apartment. The scene is lingering and just this side of animalistic as they explore one another, and you actually get a real sense of Cage’s restrained power even in this most intimate moment.
And the soundtrack is a beautiful throwback too, which feels very much like it consciously channels old porn conventions and exploitation flicks.
