The point of naming him Tommy Merlyn is so that he can be related to that other Merlyn. :flashfact:

It was also a red herring as everyone thought that Tommy was going to turn into a villain like Smallville, but they turned it on its head with Barrowman :argh: Also they named her Speedy and gave her a drug habit, as there have been other Speedys.

drat Marvel. They're going all out. So that's one 13 episode season guaranteed for each one, and then an eventual mini-series team up for them all? Wonder if that will be one each year, or if they'll be closer together. Otherwise seems odd to get Daredevil first, then wait several years before he shows back up in the team up series.

There is a good chance that they will do things like have Jessica Jones be Matt's bodyguard or he hires her for a case. I assume that Alias might be the last or first one. It could introduce all the characters without focusing on them or have alll the character cameo to get ready for the Defenders.

All I want from the Iron Fist series is for it to be like The Immortal Iron Fist by Ed Brubaker and Matt Fraction. I also hope we get Fat Cobra on our TVs. I also hope that the Daredevil show will be mostly The Man without Fear and end with some bullseye stuff. I do not think Elektra is needed unless she too will be joining the defenders.

Eh, I assumed that Daredevil, Luke Cage, and Iron Fist were being reserved for other projects, and I'm not sure how well Jessica Jones would fit.

Now, some of their villains... that could be more of an issue.

I assume we will be getting Kingpin and Purple Man at least.
I also assume that the Punisher will be saved for season 2.

If they're not putting in Strange Kingpin makes the most sense, he can be the big bad behind everything in the solo series, then they all team up to take him out in Defenders. I guess they're just calling it Defenders because that sounds better than Marvel Knights

There is also the fact that they do not have the rights to Silver Surfer. I also think that Strange is getting a movie.

I really like I, Zombie, up until the end when they got cancelled and had to cram a bunch of plot in to the last couple issues.

Yeah the ending was bad as it seemed that they had to bring characters from c-z in order to get the ending that they wanted. Also if they are going to do any Allred series I would rather them do Madman.

Vertigo doesn't let creators keep their work? Roberson was booted off a DC book for voicing his opinions on Before Watchmen, so I could see this being awkward. It'll probably be a neat show, tho. It has a good episodic formula with a good pool of supernatural bullshit to bring in.

Nope unless its a special case then DC owns the characters.

If that's true I don't really see any reason to like Vertigo anymore. That news really depresses me.

How is that shocking? DC owns John Constantine, Swamp Thing, The Endless, and basically every other character. It also could be a case where the written under contract and therefore everything he did would be owned by DC.

I don't see why we can't have them all in the 70s - the Luke Cage series being blaxploitation, the Iron Fist series be a Shaw Brothers homage, the Daredevil series be akin to Carnahan's Death Wish-esque take, and Jessica Jones being, uh, Rockford Files? Dirty Harry? I'm not very familiar.

The Jessica Jone's show would be a film noir but with superheroes.

It's getting a bit headscratchy that now we have half the cast right now with secrets that are a big deal, we swear hammered every episode. Tahtiti is a magical place yes I get it. I guess it's the consequence of wanting to be episodic and still have people be able to pick up the ongoing mysteries, the TV equivalent of comic book characters explaining their powers every time they use them.

The only way this eventual 'Coulson is a robot' reveal will be satisfying is if they all turn out to be LMDs and have Tony Stark make a cameo appearance as their designer and programmer to explain why half the dialogue in the show is little strings of rapid-fire quips.

Ripping off Kirkman? That was a shock twist in an original Star Trek episode. And that writer probably lifted it from something he read in a pulp scifi rag in the 40s.

The real twist would be something like: Coulson gets shot, rack zoom on the wound aaaaand it's bleeding! Someone goes "oh crap, he's human after all. That's a little disappointing..." Then suddenly the blood turns green and Coulson morphs into a SKRULL! *dun dun dunnnnnnnn* I'm so loving clev

I listened to a movie review podcast recently guest featuring Ed Brubaker, and he just very briefly mentioned at the end in response to a question that Winter Soldier was inspired by elements from his run on Captain America. Which surprised me because he...invented the Winter Soldier character. I infer he wasn't really involved in the production.

No Winter Soldier was create by Simon and Kirby. He revamped him, and elements of that are going to be in the movie.

You forgot to mention that Aquaman showed up for a few minutes out of the whole series. I remember him blowing up an oil rig, because that will totally stop the rape of the oceans and not spill billions of gallons of oil.

They did also have the 90s reboot verison of Starman, straight down to the piercings and grunge attire. And I honestly liked Daniel Jackson as Hawkman.

Seasons 8-10 were okay as they were Justice League the TV show. The only problem is that Superman was not Superman, and all the other stupid poo poo that Smallville was famous for.
