History Headscratchers / CloakAndDagger2018

** It's more likely related to the Dark Dimension from ''[[Film/DoctorStrange2016 Doctor Strange]]''

** Depending on how certain events happened off-screen, it's possible Detective O'Reilly found Tandy via the first crime scene, when Tandy and Liam robbed that rich guy's place. Assuming the rich guy reported the crime, it's possible that the police had already ID-ed those two as possible suspects. Two of the reported stolen items would be the ballet tickets, which connects to the stabbing incident, since it happened within walking distance of the ballet. From this alone, Detective O'Reilly could conclude that the person who was sexually assaulted went to the ballet with the stolen tickets. She could then theoretically check the robbing incident, see how far along their investigation went, and check to see if there were already any potential suspects. Considering that Liam got arrested, it's entirely possible that he was already a suspect by the time O'Reilly was investigating the stabbing incident. Assuming only Liam was suspected, his connection to Tandy could be gleaned from interviews with friends and relatives.

* How did Detective Riley find Tandy? One scene she's interviewing the guy Tandy stabbed and finding some pretty clear evidence that he sexually assaulted someone, the next scene, she's at the house of the person he assaulted, having apparently discovered her identity and address offscreen. I get that this isn't a police procedural, so Riley's investigation isn't the focal point, but given that Tandy choosing to cooperate with her seems like it'll be a major plot point going forward, this is a pretty strange detail to gloss over.

* What's this "one will live, one will die" nonsense from the 2nd trailer? The entire premise of Cloak & Dagger is that they need each other to survive.

* OK, let me start over, using TV Tropes' own words: "There is nothing that cannot be explained by contemporary science and nothing ever happens that could not conceivably occur in Real Life as we know it. A Dream Sequence is the only way in which the otherwise hyper-realism in the work can be subverted. The irrevocable and often brutal nature of mortality is often emphasized, if not the center-point of the story. The depiction of social injustices, such as exploitation of the poor on behalf of the rich, is another common thematic element. Films in this category may often be pretentious creations, often trying to be True Art. About the most 'fantastic' thing that happens here is a Contrived Coincidence or two designed to bring as much bad luck (or good luck) to the characters as possible. Science Fiction and Fantasy are by definition ruled out from belonging to this category." THAT is what I was going for (so yeah, not really SliceOfLife). This show as originally described (and as shown in the teaser) fits the description above. My point being that such a show cannot exist in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. In the Discussion page, someone mentioned "lack of conflict", and that pretty sums it up (at least, lack of unrealistic, comic-bookish, supervillain/{{EldritchAbomination}}/{{AlienInvasion}}/{{NebulousEvilOrganisation}}/{{BewareTheSuperman}} conflict).

* Is the "Darkforce Dimension" where Cloak/Tyrone gets his powers connected with the Darkhold in any way?

* I once again have to question how is this series possible. The reason why most SliceOfLife stories work is because the setting involves little conflict. [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipisMagic Equestria]] is a rather peaceful and uneventful place, and even [[WesternAnimation/EquestriaGirls Canterlot High]] is more or less depicted in the same manner. [[WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse Beach City]] is pretty peaceful when the civil war among the Gems doesn't flare up. And [[Manga/AhMyGoddess Nekomi City]] doesn't have any sort of major threats (the closest thing being the Lord of Terror, who only showed up once). But the Marvel Cinematic Universe [[WellThisIsNotThatTrope is not like those places]]. The MCU is in constant threat from supervillain attacks, terrorist organizations, and corrupt cops, to the point that [[Series/Runaways2017 the Runaways]] are portrayed as utterly helpless. So...how can you have SliceOfLife in the MCU? Are all the menaces supposed to suddenly vanish when Tyrone and Tandy are around?[[note]]Due to natter, this has been moved to the discussion page[[/note]]
