Marvel's The Defenders

I don’t usually post stuff like this or should i say never have post a post like this and i understand that i’m not the best writer but i need to write this and i need you guys help and sorry for posting this in this blog but i need to reach as manny people as possible.

so by now fans of the show know that Netflix decided to cancel the show (something i found out while finishing episode 5 of part 2 so you guys can imagine how i felt while watching the finale) and the cancellation of the show only sink in after i finished watching the finale and after like 5 Minutes after for some reason my eyes got watery this is something that never have happen to me before and this sudden feeling of anger and sadness came to me something i never felt before, there have been other shows that i liked that got cancelled but i never got upset ‘i would just find another show’ but to me the cancellation of this show felt personal this to me atleast was the first time that as a Puerto Rican i felt like i was represented and not just represented like ‘hey that guy in the club or the that third guy in the show is Puerto Rican or some dude was talking about their Puerto Rican friend’ nah in this show we were FRONT AND CENTER.

As a Puerto Rican we 99% of the time we NEVER get represented and if we do is always as the fat gangster,or the guy who cuts the white lady’s grass or as a bad joke,and this is not me hating white people but most if not all of white people are numb to the feeling of being amaze of seeing your people represented (and to be honest  don’t they know how that feels) in a show or a movie to the fact that i get to see myself and my people in a show portrayed in a fun,real way even if the character was just half Puerto Rican. so yeah i got angry and mad to the fact that instead of just replacing the showrunner with someone else netflix decided to cancel the show instead of just looking for someone else to runthe show, i didn’t even care if they lower the show’s budget but the fact that they cancel the show just anger me one of the many thing’s i liked about the show is the representaion of Minority’s from Puerto Rican To Black people and how we struggle in the 70′s and still do.

Right now as i’m writing this that only thing i can hear is how hard i’m pressing my laptop’s keyboard, for me as for so many other fans the show wasn’t just a show to me. to me The Get Down represented hope and a one of kind of pleasure that you can only get from watching something that speaks to you in a personal level that speaks to your hard something that gives you hope,inspiration and acknowledgement, something that says you exist so netflix didn’t just cancel a show the cancel us.
