In the article I read as well it was obvious that the four series share the same continuity but not wether they would tie into the film's and Agents of Shield.

After reading the article it sounds like it's gonna be an American Horror Story-style anthology, one season for each of the four heroes leading up to the Defenders bookend season in 2015. But that's still hella awesome. e: I still use "hella" in the 21st century

Junkenstein posted:Absolutely, as long as you don't watch it for the mythos. It's kind of the opposite to today's TV in that regard. I guess some of the season 1 episodes would come across as pretty poor nowadays too. Maybe watch some of the best ones and then skip to season 2? Yeah, the episodes that have actually stuck with me the longest from X-Files are a handful of the MOTWs, things like the fluke-man or Eugene Tooms.

As most of you know, Vince Gilligan got his start on X-files and his episodes are absolutely outstanding. Darren Morgan's are also very very good. Honestly, the worst episodes are anything written by Chris Carter.

This isn't really a motley crew as all the characters are pretty well related in the source material. It makes perfect sense for these four to be grouped together.

Soem of the best comics that Marvel has released have involved these characters. Since Daredevil is involved Kingpin will be involved and he can really gently caress things up. Daredevil also has some really good villains that they could fight such as Bullseye and Purple Man. With Alias it could be like a film noir with superheroes.

The original Defenders was pretty great. It started out with hyper-powered heroes like Dr. Strange, the Hulk, the Silver Surfer and Submariner, then rapidly degenerated into a clusterfuck of whoever felt like showing up. Everyone from Valkyrie, to Valkyrie's host body's petulant ex-husband. One multi-issue run involved some hanger-on publicist running a tv ad inviting people to become members. And about 30% of the plots involved trying to calm the Hulk down, but then just intentionally pissing him off and aiming him at the villain.

I'm pumped about the Marvel/Netfix deal... Though it does it eliminate even more heroes from appearing in S.H.E.I.L.D (I'm assuming different continuities). I wonder if the series are going to take place concurrently or one after another?

The most interesting thing to me is that this 4 series + miniseries event deal couldn't have happened on regular TV. What network, cable or otherwise, would pick up 4 different dramas based on superheroes, and commit to a miniseries crossover event? Netflix pretty much has unlimited space. They're not constricted by slotting stuff onto the air - as long as their viewers stream shows, they can pretty much put out whatever amount of content they please. Also, this makes SHIELD look a little more worse for the wear in comparison.

I don't doubt one word of your educated response or enthusiasm, which I'm sure is running wild across the Internet right now, but on paper this all looks to me like a team the Harlem Globetrotters play deciding to get serious and to make a name for themselves. I don't know, maybe my perspective is all wrong on this but I'm thinking about how during the Battle of New York these four all looked out their windows, dropped some cuss words, then closed the blinds.

SHIELD actually seems like it would be a pretty good position after all this. It could serve as the go between the cinematic side of MCU and this new expanded TV side. I doubt you'd get the Netflix heroes crossing over to the movies and vice versa, but it seems like some cross-promo work could get them on SHIELD. I would think whoever gets the Kingpin part will have the most work, seems like the right role to cross over across all four series and the eventual mini when he could finally get taken down for good.

You're looking for Thor and Iron Man and being disappointed when that's not what you're getting. You're also putting down the characters because you don't know them and since you don't know them they don't matter. And that's not really true at all. The general audience probably didn't know much about Iron Man or Thor before they had movies either. Of course they're not going to know about Luke Cage or Iron Fist. There will be some that know them from comics or cartoons, but most won't. Just because people don't know them doesn't mean they aren't viable characters worth promoting. With that logic no new properties would ever get a chance because nobody knew about them before. So yes, your perspective is wrong on this.

It's dumb to compare the Avengers to any other single superhero because the Avengers fight literally the baddest asses in the entire universe. So yeah, Luke Cage isn't going to be punching out Thanos or anything but you can still have good drama and stories with them facing dudes relative to their power level. Cage and Iron Fist are Heroes for Hire so they have an interesting angle on the superhero trope in that they aren't doing what they do because of great responsibility, they are just trying to stack that paper. (Even though Danny Rand is rich as poo poo  )
