I winced like a motherfucker at the scissors to the orbital, and pretty much had my jaw dropped for the last two minutes of the fight in the hallway. That is some entertaining poo poo.

Just started watching and this is already loving fantastic. General question: is there any way at all to track the likelihood that a Netflix series will be renewed? Certainly seems like the critical reviews are giving this show a good shot, I'm just curious.

I'm going to be the dissenter and say that the first ten minutes or so of episode one had me really worried with the terrible exposition and a lot of cliches that I absolutely hate. But then things took off and didn't let up. This is going to be a fun show.

1x03 Mild spoilers. Ben Urich is showing up as the local crime reporter? Figured he'd be locked up with Spiderman. poo poo. After that beatdown at the end of the second episode, I'm about to have a nerdgasm.

Yup, they nailed it. The emphasis on corrupt, impersonal systems that devour everyone shows what they can do with a miniseries.

So far almost everything they've done has gotten more than one season.

Ben Urich was introduced in Daredevil and mostly tied in with him. He only made cameos with Spider-man and he was already in the first Daredevil movie.

Netflix seldom cancels shows after one season. Even the universally panned Hemlock Grove is getting to Season 3. It probably depends more on Marvel wanting to make more than Netflix.

Being part of this defenders metaseries kind of complicates it. You could kind of view DD/JJ/LC/IF as preassured renewals of the same thing, perhaps. This is going to be running for a few years.

Yeah, kind of the way it looks now is that it's "Marvel: The TV Series" with each character/Defenders being a "season". So if they wanted to do a DD season for next year it would shoot alongside Luke Cage/Iron Fist, and if they wanted a third it would be shooting with Defenders. I have no idea how the production deal works so I don't know if this is a big deal or not.

Good point. I guess the question then becomes is it beneficial for Marvel to make more, but I'd hope the series being met with HOLY poo poo THIS loving RULES pretty much everywhere and therefore bringing comics closer to mainstream pop culture makes it more worth their while. I mean I like the whole superteam idea but Daredevil is by far the most interesting of the characters to me, so I hope for more DD.

1x02

The DIY medical stuff is BRUTAL but fits with the tone of the show. Still makes me :gonk: though. Also is Deborah Ann Woll a natural blonde? I thought she looked so much better as a redhead. I know the source character is blonde though, so :shobon:.

All i'm thinking is, if the fight choreography stays at the same level: Think how loving crazy Iron Fist is going to be.

Watched the first episode and thought it was great! Sort of wish the fight scenes were a bit more well lit, but that could be just me.

Do we know the name of the guy who is in the beginning fight who got the ground and pound, and appeared in the ending montage with the weapon shipment? For some reason I keep thinking he will end up being movieverse Bullseye. That said, 'he primarily uses a gun in both appearances' is flimsy at best. No future episode spoilers, please

Holy poo poo yeah. The choreography in this show is so, so good. I agree that I wish the fights were better lit, though. At the same time, I know that's the aesthetic you're going for.

All I know is I'm glad this is by most accounts the future of media and I hope Marvel rides this motherfucker 'til the wheels come off, because I love superheroes and the aesthetics and everything, but I just can't find the energy, motivation, time, and/or resources to really get into comics. Doesn't Marvel have a digital subscription service now that's kinda like Scribd for comics or something? And didn't DC work out a similar deal with Scribd directly? Or am I imagining that?

Yup, Marvel Unlimited. Pay a sub fee, and you get access to most of their back catalogue. I've yet to find anything I want to read that they didn't already have up anyway.

They even do curated reading lists, which are great.

Yeah, it's worth buying a month of Netflix just to watch if you like the character/Marvel poo poo, for about the price of a movie ticket you get something that's longer and better (and, you know, 3 more weeks of unlimited access to a bunch of other good TV shows and films)

It's still kind of the best value proposition for entertainment media

More power to you, but the breadth and depth of Netflix's catalog is so loving huge I'd imagine you'd find other things to enjoy too. :)

Also I'd say it's well worth the :10bux: and I'm only partway through, but in the interest of full disclosure I eagerly gobble up pretty much even the shittiest superhero media. :v:
