Too bad we're not getting a Daredevil season this year. It got pushed to next year because they're going to do The Defenders. Hope it's worth it.

DD season 2 initial punisher episodes were pure gold. The elektra stuff kinda missed the mark.
Jessica Jones was cool but felt they coulda condensed it. I was bored by the end.
I can't get thru the first episode of cage. I find myself ooking at my phone and getting bored

I'm tired of ninjas in new York. I mean I'm watching super hero shows so I'm already suspending disbelief. But really? Ninjas with swords running around in the 21st century?

Unfortunately that's what defenders looks like it'll be about but hopefully they do a good job with it. That was my main beef with DD season 2 and it was the entire purpose of iron fist.

Well the Hand is a big part of this universe in the comics so having them in those Netflix shows was bound to happen anyway.

The sooner the better so we can move to something more interesting

I really liked it. They fleshed Frank's character out and made him more 3 dimensional than he was on Daredevil. All the violence/action was really well done - on par with Daredevil (a lot bloodier though obviously). The only downside for me was the Lewis character. The PTSD stuff got a little heavy handed and he didn't have much of a payoff for as much screentime as he got.

That mirror scene though... god damn. :lol

I just finished Punisher and liked it way more than JJ/DD or the Defenders. But I have to admit that I've always been a fan of graphic violence in movies/shows, so that may have payed a role in me liking the Punisher better than the other shows. Iron Fist is just plain bad.

Punisher was legit. The fight scene at the construction site....Jesus such ferocity. And the NSA/Afghan plot kept it intelligent for TV kinda like a less boring NBC drama but also kept Frank human and showed his inner struggles.

Best marvel show after DD.

jessica jones season 2 came out late last week, got through the whole thing over the weekend. it was pretty good imo. i think Jones is the most compelling protagonist in the marvel/netflix universe. villain not nearly as compelling as kilgrave or kingpin, but much better than whatever we saw in luke cage, defenders, and especially iron fist

mostly i'm glad there was nothing about The Hand... the hand has been dragging down this entire netflix series. its why DD season 2 was not as good as the first (despite punisher and elektra being awesome side characters), its why Defenders sucked, and one of the many reasons iron fist sucked

wtf are they going to do? have jessica jones investigate thanos?

the netflix stuff is meant to be it's own microcosm. that they have an occasional nod to the feature films doesn't mean that's going to change. i mean they've tried really hard to distance themselves from that stuff. i remember in season 1 of jessica jones she would refer to "the flag waver" instead of just saying capt america, etc.

it caught me as a surprise when the kid in JJ season 2 actually referenced captain america by name

No of course not. And we don't know yet what the resolution of IW will be or even if anybody will have memory of it. But this is a little different and far reaching than omitting Stark tower from the NYC skyline, or making vague referenes to an alien attack.

my understanding is that IW was set sometime around or after 2020. its fairly plausible that we can just consider the netflix series to be pre-IW

or if there was some massive time travel/reversal thing, then maybe they wont have memory of it.

i wouldnt waste too much energy thinking about it tbh, i treat netflix stuff pretty separately from the rest of MCU

that's 100% incorrect Stark says in IW he's been expericing PTSD for six years which coincides with the release of Avengers 1 in 2012 that 2020 number comes from a gaff in the Spider MAn homecoming script that made it through final production

yeah that's what has been used for the timeline. has marvel come out and said they made a mistake yet?

regardless, they could easily continue the netflix series as though it all happens before IW.

Before I start watching Luke Cage I want to give a quick plug for Cloak and Dagger on Freeform/Hulu. Given the teen protagonists and the network, it's surprisingly sophisticated and "adult." It's a protracted origin story different from the comics; more than halfway through the season neither the heroes nor the viewer know the full extent of their powers. The writing and principal acting are better than expected and reached a high with episode 7. It's a little to the Jessica Jones side being more psychological than action oriented -- and don't expect any MCU tie-ins except maybe a tenuous link to Agent Carter -- but it's really not bad at all.

re watching JJ season 1 ahead of me watching season 2, it's not bad but :lol at 13 episodes, 10 well paced episodes would significantly improve the series. Also some of the side characters are just silly and odd, even for a fictional series based on a comic book. Also still can't shake the comparison to Veronica Mars, minus the superhero abilities and not in love with Ritter's acting and many of the action sequences.

Hope after season 2 of Iron Fist, they fold the show into one like how they did with the comics (they were paired together because of poor sales) Haven't seen LC season 2 but really enjoyed season 1. Iron Fist was trash in his own series and the Defenders.

heard Cloak and Dagger was good, may check it out.One thing's for sure: the writers are certainly aware of comic history. They just upended the by plot alluding to one controversial comic scene from Marvel and flipping the script on another from DC.

As I said before their origin is very different from the comics, but they did a good job taking advantage of the geography and culture of their production location (New Orleans) and worked it into the source of their powers and Cloak's -- um -- cloak.

Tenuous MCU connection alert: police detective says she knows "Misty" (Knight) from her time in New York.

Speaking of....about halfway through S2 of Luke Cage. Seems they're trying to make up for the mistake of losing Cottonmouth by trying going out of their way to make the villains more compelling. It's working with Bushmaster and Shades, not so much with Mariah.

just finished luke cage season 2. better than season 1 imo (still dont really understand the hype behind season 1). like seemingly all the recent marvel netflix stuff, there was a lull in those middle-late episodes... but things really ramped up in the last few

but the last 5-10 minutes didnt sit well with me. why DW was so pissed at luke... im pretty sure he deserves the benefit of the doubt tbh :lol. same with misty (though hearing he was about to take a meeting with carbone would justifiably cause suspicion, she was really pissy even before that). and then i didnt understand cage sending claire home.

im probably gonna have to digest it a while longer, but it just felt off after what was a solid season

im probably gonna have to digest it a while longer, but it just felt off after what was a solid seasonI think the Harlem friends were seeing that he was already acting like a crime boss in several ways and concluded it was only a matter of time before he actually became one. Luke was bringing back the status quo ante because he thought that was the only way to bring relative peace to the area he could control, so everyone else took the roles in reaction to Luke's taking the Cottonmouth role; DW took Pop's role, Misty took her old role. Luke may have concluded Claire wouldn't want any part of it once she found out or maybe just didn't want her exposed to any more danger.

I do agree it was better than season one overall. Season one got a bunch of hype because of all the black historical/cultural references which it probably overdid, but that was inevitable since it was just starting out (Black Lightning did the same). Now it's easier to focus on the stories of well-defined characters. They really fleshed out Shades, Bushmaster and Comanche well and almost completely rehabilitated Danny Rand in one hour. Did just enough work with DW and Sugar to justify keeping them in the series but losing so many antagonists might hurt -- it was Mariah's time (Woodard was great but soooooo old) but at least the door is open for some to pop up later.

I have systematically dropped a lot of these shows.

I've watched all at some point and in the end felt let down so I have dropped:

Luke Cage
Jessica Jones
The laughing stock that was Defenders


Daredevil remains top dog. No question.

I still have hope for Iron Fist. And The Punisher is right up there with DD.

I'm pissed that they have pushed DD season 3 so far off to make time for the other mediocre ones.

07-30-2018, 02:43 PM
DD season 1 is the best thing they'e produced so far... but season 2 disappointed, and DD wasn't all that compelling in the Defenders. i like jessica jones quite a bit.

off the top of my head, my ranking would go something like this

1 - Daredevil season one
2 - Jessica Jones season one
3 - Daredevil season two
4 - Jessica Jones season two
5 - Punisher
6 - Luke Cage season 2
7 - Defenders
8 - Luke Cage season 1
9 - Iron Fist

i think 3-6 would probably be rearranged after some reflection or re-watching

probably true.

mariah and shades were way more compelling this time around. Shades was incredibly lame in season 1 until that scene very late in the season in the elevator/rooftop scene where he actually looked badass. until then he just felt like a running joke and his entire character was literally "guy who puts on sunglasses a lot." mariah was very fun to follow this time, unlike season 1 where i didnt care.

i do get frustrated with the show in certain moments... like when Misty was arresting Nandi, only to have that end up being a fistfight when there are like 8 cops there with guns drawn. that shit is so stupid. that was the same situation that made the final fight in season 1 feel really stupid to me: luke and diamondback brawling in the street as the cops stand back and do absolutely nothing. i get that they want fistfights, but they should be written in a way where cops aren't standing 15 feet away.

Pavlov
07-30-2018, 04:52 PM
Oh I can see the cops hanging back in those fights. In the first they hang back just to see what happens and in the second because they want Misty to kick Nandi's ass.

Man, that teaser trailer for Iron Fist sure does explain why his comic costume isn't used. I like that they sneak them into each series though.

Netflix/Marvel is not going to reboot the series with a new actor.

Netflix/Marvel is not going to reboot the series with a new actor. If anything, I could sed them killing off Danny Rand during the next Defenders and maybe have somebody else take up the Iron Fist mantle. But they won't have a new series. It was fucked up from the beginning and the name is tarnished.

Netflix could rename Luke Cage- "Heroes for Hire" and incorporate Iron Fists characters into the show. That or Disney's Streaming service could pick it up for the 3rd season just because they are probably desperate for as much content as possible and it has an audience- obviously not a very big one, but still.

i saw a pretty good piece on why a lot of netflix shows drag... they are essentially 12 hour movies, which are impossible to actually be good and entertaining. in a lot of shows, you can point to particular episodes and be like "oh yeah that was a great episode lemme rewatch that."

with the marvel netflix stuff, each episode is just a small party of an overall story that ends with a cliffhanger so that you can stay on board for the next episode. i can think of some particularly good scenes in shows (some daredevil fight scenes come to mind), but i dont remember any episodes as standouts. they all just sorta blend into one big narrative

Pavlov

*SPOILER ALERT* I guess.

I think IF2 set up a season three nicely if it moves to Disney with a thankfully pared-down cast -- a Danny/Ward road trip could actually work if they pump up the humor -- although Danny's new power looks incredibly stupid. All the others who were getting too much screen time on IF can spin off into what looks like an inevitable Daughters of the Dragon spinoff, although Colleen's new power looks incredibly stupid.

The overall story was better but still so poorly written I can't blame Netflix for killing it in it's present form. Typhoid Mary had such a labored rollout that I wanted Davos or Joy to kill her before the big reveal which still never came. She looks too much like Trish Walker and has the same goddamn last name.

If you think about Netflix's business plan, that's just a shit ton of content they have been buying and producing.

Just from looking at a list of exclusive programming on Disney+, it's very family oriented. It might make more sense to move the more adult Netflix shows to Hulu. Get the streaming rights to Agents of Shield back and it becomes one-stop shopping for every Disney/Marvel TV show made. Logically the movie tie-in shows can stay on Disney+, where all the movies will be.

But it could be all academic. Who knows what the fallout will be from the upcoming merger and all the programming platforms Disney will then own? It's a lot of stuff.

I think it could be significant that Cloak and Dagger and AoS were renewed with their sizable budgets in no small part due to their time-shifted ratings and streaming on Hulu. It's an open question whether Hulu could handle five $40 million Marvel productions on their own, but one would think 2 or 3 with consolidation and guest spots doesn't seem impossible.

Content is king and Disney+ can pick and choose from everything they have from Disney/Pixar/Marvel/Lucasfilm/Fox in the movies and TV. Netflix still flounders around with its original content while the corporate and creative knowledge of Disney after Jan 1 is off the charts. The family angle seems pretty smart because most of the buzz around other services are around pretty adult programs now that I think about it.

Disney is not going to pick up these series where they left off as Netflix has the exclusive rights to the seasons which they produced. It would be really weird to watch seasons 1-whatever on Netflix and the rest on Disney. Especially since the tone and direction of each would likely change. These shows, except for a few easter eggs, have mostly ignored the MCU and are likely too "adult" (especially Punisher) for Disney. And I don't think they'll move to another service like Hulu. Disney wants to keep all of their content in-house from here on out. At best we can hope that they use some of the characters in other projects without requiring too much knowledge of what transpired on Netflix.. Daredevil is a given. Kingpin could even be used in a Spiderman film even if it's just for a secondary role.

Danny and Coleen didn't really start their arcs until The Defenders. Buck and the S1 writers really did a terrible job trying to show Danny was a profoundly damaged man and instead had him come off as a whiny, impulsive douche.

Typhoid Mary Sue was a little much for me, but could get better. Joy was oddly OK as a completely unreasonable bitch.

Agree that Danny isn't compelling enough to continue a show on his own. He was good in The Defenders and really good in Luke Cage. I think Cage would run out of steam quickly as a lead if his show continued too so I'm all for an ensemble show with Heroes for Hire and Daughters of the Dragon maybe with an exasperated Ward trying to manage all the personalities.

I'd be interested to know if Misty's character could be used in other shows, namely Cloak and Dagger where she's already been named as former partner to season two's apparent main villain, Mayhem. A one-episode appearance could be easily done as Tyrone could just teleport her from and back to New York when his powers evolve to that point.

Punisher S3 got better late but again only should've been ten episodes. 13 ends up showcasing bad actors fumbling through obvious filler. Pretty satisfying ending right up until the epilogue, where it goes over the top for no reason. Not as badly as Iron Fist did, but same kind of thing. One cameo was good, another was almost complete waste except for a weird fetish joke.

Will be interesting to see if the Punisher character is subject to the same restriction as those in the other Netflix series.

umm, all the marvel/netflix shows are getting cancelled. the run is over after JJ season 3

I know. Was talking about if they were going to get picked up by Disney + and as if Punisher wasn't going to be axed by Netflix.

I would assume since he showed up first in DD S2 it would be.

:lol @ Punisher snuff-fests ever showing up on Disney+

If the rights are available and the numbers are right it'd be more likely to end up on Hulu. If Disney believes in Marvel TV at all, they should just pay up and get all the TV shows (first run and other networks' reruns) on that platform and start working on the synergy from there.

I would assume since he showed up first in DD S2 it would be.I guess, but the Punisher show itself was on a separate contract made after that, so maybe it supercedes the original.

against my better judgment, i've pressed on through punisher, just finished episode 09 yesterday. the plot has finally become more coherent, but i still think the dialogue is ass and things are still dreadfully slow, at least with the character development and such. the action sequences are very in your face, so thats at least fun

i still feel like it's a chore watching the show, honestly. but after having watched all 11 prior seasons of marvels netflix series, i kinda feel an obligation to see it through.

The double-track plot learned nothing from Spider-Man 3.

ok, so episode 10 was actually pretty fantastic and 11 was strong too. will probably wrap it up tonight or tomorrow.

episode 10 was a much needed shot in the arm

jessica jones was second only to daredevil imo.

i will say that both JJ and Luke Cage had too much filler

On the DC side, Titans S1 was a jumbled edgelord mess and Doom Patrol is off to a great start.

Mixed emotions on the Marvel Netflix series'

Daredevil was far and away the best series and exceeded expectations.

Jessica Jones was a bit overrated, actually liked Luke Cage and though Iron Fist was a bit of a mess.


them together didn't work and almost certainly killed enthusiasm for future seasons and contributed to their cancellation.

without picking apart season by season, i'd say DD-JJ-IF-LC

the hype luke cage got never made any sense to me. iron fist season 1 was pretty poor. season 2 was decent. i didnt like either luke cage season. the villains were poor. and bushmaster with his repetitive correcting everytime somebody said dillard. STOKES. Mariah... STOKES.

oh. and punisher probably between Jessica Jones and Iron Fist. punisher season 1 was quite good. i thought season 2 was a complete disaster but it finished strong.

I liked Luke Cage a lot, from the locations to the music to the episode titles. I'd put it behind Daredevil.

luke cage and iron fist were both corny as hell, but danny being corny at least had some reasoning to it, given his upbringing. luke was brought up in harlem and isn't old enough to have corny dad humor without it seeming awkward.

the fight choreography sucked on both shows. luke was just lazily throwing people around, while iron fist's kung fu was awful in season 1.

i dont think either show was good enough to carry on its own. they should have just made heroes for hire. luke and danny getting to know each other through claire was one of the few bright spots of the Defenders, for instance. they had good chemistry. iron fist's appearance in luke cage season 2 was also the bright spot of that season

Just finished Jessica jones season 3. Thought it was pretty good tbh. JJ and DD both had very strong third seasons. Shame to see the whole thing getting cancelled.

If they just combined IF and LC i think the series would have been better received but imo those two dragged it down because neither could carry solo acts.

Defenders letdown also hurt.

Yeah, I wish they could bring in the characters to Disney+/Hulu in a couple years but the current actors are getting old in the meantime. Might as well just wait for another phase to revive these guys.

Going forward if there was a way to salvage anything, Marvel needs to try to bring back Charlie Cox and Vincent D'onofrio. The other characters I'd be okay without.

krysten ritter too, imho. i think she's been fantastic as jones. but she's also said she doesnt anticipate reprising the role again
