Synopsis:
This is a direct continuation of my edits of the first season, Long Live the Chief and Son of a Preacher Man. It's also a spiritual continuation of "The Defenders: Cut to the Chaste" by u/henzINNIT.
Intentions:
Like all my other TV edits, I felt the series was just too a little slow for my taste at times, and I wanted to make an edit that's easier to swallow for myself and newcomers. I think Bushmaster is a pretty solid villain and wanted to my an edit that focuses on his and Luke's rivalry before Mariah takes center stage. What I did do is begin with his flashbacks with his Mom and the Stokes. The title is a reference to the song that Stephen Marley himself plays at Harlem's Paradise for Bushmaster that reflects his story. I'm currently editing a part 2 that focuses on Mariah Dillard so stay tuned for that!
Change List:
Began with the young Bushmaster's flashbacks
Removed the Misty Knight cockroach plot
Removed the Shades plot
Removed a lot of Mariah Dillard scenes
Improved pacing in certain scenes
Added the Marvel Studios intro from Guardians 2 because, according to the MCU wiki, these episodes occurred after Captain America: Civil War.
