Fanboys Anonymous

Welcome to another edition of Wed, Bed, or Dead—the Fanboys Anonymous equivalent to games such as Marry/Fuck/Kill, or "Kill, Bang, Marry" or any of those other alternative names with the same "would you rather" ranking concept.

If you're unfamiliar with these games, here are the rules: three men or women will be pitted against each other and you are forced to place each of them into a specific category of your choosing. You cannot double up on any category, replace people, or anything else. You must pick one to "Wed" (marry), one to "Bed" (have sex with), and for "Dead" (kill)—in theory, of course.



Having just binge-watched all of season 1 of Marvel's Luke Cage television series on Netflix, there are three major love interests the main character deals with over the course of the 13 episodes. Of course, there are plenty of other women on the show like Mariah Dillard, Priscilla Ridley, Candace Miller and Patricia Wilson, but the true triad would be Claire Temple, Misty Knight and Reva Connors.

SPOILER ALERT. If you haven't watched the season yet, you might not want to read the rest of this, as what transpires is factored into my choices.


The very first episode shows off Simone Missick's body in a great way, which was one hell of an impression. While Rosario Dawson and Parisa Fitz-Henley are both beautiful as well, I think Missick has the best body, which gives her a big bonus towards the Bed category. When you factor in personality, Reva would have been my Wed option if she didn't turn out to be a deceptive liar in the end. This immediately disqualified her and put her in the Dead slot, even though I dig girls in glasses and she comes off as the most intelligent, which is another big plus. If she's the Dead, then between Claire and Misty, I think Claire has the better personality to be married to. Both stand up for themselves and take no shit, but Claire is much more supportive and selfless. Misty has some trust issues and her career as a cop gives her a sort of dark side that gets in her way. All in all, Claire's got the looks and the personality, Misty's got the looks, and Reva shot herself in the foot by being a villain.
