I'm still watching it but something awesome needs to happen pretty dang quick. I like all the characters and I really do look forward to watching it but nothing really happens. Everyone is just still where they started.

i gave marvel's netflix series a go because 'omg they're better than other superhero series"

turns out that's literally it.

they're better than unwatchable garbage like flash and arrow and gotham (is that still on? lol) but that's still p bad

At the end of Episode 10 there's literally a "next time on..." that unironically says something akin to, "SOMETHING FINALLY HAPPENS"

Also don't get too attached to the characters because they take a turn for the despicable real quick.

It's a little weird that they show things like gruesome torture and guys getting shot in the face point blank with a shotgun but don't like anyone saying "gently caress" or showing titties I wish they would say gently caress and show titties like Punisher says "ur fuckin dead bitch" and shoots a guy and the blood splashes all over some bare titties and then he cums on em.

Jessica Jones was kind of ok I guess??? That show liked having people pee in the pants and panties they did it a few times in one season was weird I think it's because a woman wrote it.

Jessica Jones was good. David Tennant was amazing.

He seemed like the only one in the cast who had any degree of energy. Maybe women just relate to perpetually exhausted broken heroines?

First season was better overall but the second season Punisher stuff by itself was really great making the second season superior if you ignore the meandering ninja plotline I guess

I'm glad it exists and I like the show's take on the kingpin character

Flash is really bad.

Arrow is also bad, but it's extra bad when Flash and that weird Bargain Bin Ironman (who is supposed to be The Atom) are in it. Flash and Arrow have a completely different tone. They don't mesh at all, it's like if Wile E. Coyote showed up on an episode of Breaking Bad to score some meth to help him catch the Roadrunner or something. They even spell it out in the actual show, like it's supposed to explain it.

"Well, uh, you see, YOUR city is nice and cheerful but MY city is dark and violent! And, uh, I guess when there's people with SUPERPOWERS involved it makes things feel less real and more upbeat!"

No, you're not justifying the problem with that flimsy bullshit, you're just rubbing our nose in it.

the first half of season 2 was pretty good and then they went overboard with the ninjas

yeah, season 2 sucked once they caught the punisher

even once they put more punisher stuff back in, he was still pretty bad. First half owned but they didn't go anywhere with him once he escaped from jail.

I'd make a Flash bingo card, but it'd be one big box that says "Does believe in himself". The show needs to just do something else instead of

flash doesn't goes fast enough
flash needs to believe himself
flash believes in himself
flash goes fast and beats the bad guy


also STOP RUNNING UP TO THE BAD GUY, AND STANDING STILL IN FIGHTS YOU ARE THE FLASH RUN AT FULL SPEED AND PUNCH THEIR HEADS APART

Daredevil was alright. The acting was really bad though, especially Vincent D'Whatever. I mighr watch season 2 for punisher if he's as good as everyone says.

It was actually pretty good until episode 7, then it just goes full stupid. All the characters begin acting in ways that make no sense ala "Hey I Know...I'll go to jail for murder! That always works!". The bad guy gets caught and escapes like three times. So you have a bad guy that is too dumb to not get caught, and good guys that are to dumb to not let him escape. People with powers that can snap a master lock with one hand, and then strain to pull off a shower curtain rod one scene later. One episode they suddenly know exactly how Dr. Who's powers work, the next episode they know at the beginning but then don't know anymore, and the next episode they find out what his powers are and act all surprised. Jesus, the writers couldn't be bothered to remember what they'd written the page before. And when you need to drive the plot by a character "letting it slip" that he'd helped commit a murder by shouting in a crowded bar, you probably need to stop doing so much smack before work.

It's good but you have my permission to stop once Punisher goes to jail

In fact I recommend it

First Season is pretty good if you like a medium intensity crime drama without the endless moralizing of batman.

Second sucks because suddenly ninjas everywhere and a David Carradine ripoff but they get the Punisher so it's fun to watch him murder the gently caress out of literally dozens of assholes.

Jessica Jones was pure poo poo and literally exists to bait in the David Tennant tumblr crew.

It would be fun to write a show that starts strong and then stops making any sense at all but have the actors really act he hell out of their lines as it makes led and less sense like performance art

I was onboard with the show completely until the season two finale episode.

They dropped the ball so hard with the Punisher not using that loving minigun on a hoard of ninjas that I don't think I can stomach ever going back to rewatch it.

Yeah, ninja bullshit ruined season two but mowing them all down like in the Dolph Lundgren Punisher movie might have saved it.

How about a short film written entirely by AI based on a bunch of sci-fi manuscripts fed into it.

Surprised to see so much hate for arrow itt, I've only seen the first season but I thought it was pretty decent. Choreography is good, a superhero that understands sometimes killing badguys is necessary, hot training montages. Sure the acting isn't stellar but none of the superhero shows are amazing at that.

The first and second seasons are really good, like exciting TV good. The third season starts off decent, but then just tanks, the fourth season promised to recover, but instead it just is dumpster fire.
