Personally I'm hoping we get the version of the Punisher that is a mystical vengeance dealer who was resurrected by angels and can summon glowing weapons.

Alfre Woodard has been cast in Luke Cage. According to Deadline she'll be playing Minetta, "a powerful woman in local politics who will have an impact on Luke Cage’s life."

Rob Liefield I give the absolute credit of being 100% self-aware of his Rob Liefieldness, which is a lot more than you can say about some people in comics.

Rob Liefield was actually pretty good until the 2000s. It wasn't until the Heroes Reborn era that he became the comic book world's Picasso.

I got into comics later than my friends, and they were all huge X-Men fans. I wanted to be different so I got into Punisher and New Mutants. As atrocious as the art in his New Mutants and X-Force was. I loved every issue and enjoyed the concept. Liked that they were more "gritty" at the time. Plus, you have Liefeld to thank for Deadpool.

Liefield's original run at Marvel and his first two years at Image were good. Then he got rich and lazy, and has been phoning it in ever since.

Chain_of_Dogs posted:Anyone else excited for the Iron Fist series? Especially if they base it on "The Last Iron Fist Story" I am excited as gently caress for it. I didn't know who Iron Fist was when it was announced, but I found out and it sounded awesome so I bought a bunch of comics. If they put the same craftsmanship into the martial arts as they did in DD, it's going to be real sweet.

I have to admit, I'm a little worried about the TV properties now. Not sure if you guys heard, but the Marvel Creative Group or whatever is no longer around, and long-time Marvel penny pincher that I've heard about before was basically put into a "Him or me" with Kevin Fiege, and Kevin Fiege won out. The reason I'm worried isn't for the movie properties, but rather, the TV properties which are now under control of the guy who's basically been kicked out of the MCU. This sounds.. messy.

Ike Perlmutter is the CEO of Marvel and he has a reputation for being cheap as gently caress and an inveterate micromanager. Kevin Feige, who heads Marvel's movie division, reported to him, as does Axel Alonso (comics) and Jeph Loeb (TV). Feige has made Disney a lot of money and he was sick of Perlmutter's meddling and leveraged his success to change his bosses. Loeb has always reported to Perlmutter. Article

It doesn't make sense to me that Marvel/Disney would leave MCU Netflix in the hands of an excommunicated employee. All the articles I've seen suggest that Pearlmutter still is in charge of Marvel's TV though as mentioned above, Feige now reports directly to Disney. On the upside, this is probably a good thing for the movies; the Marvel Creative Committee was blamed for almost the entire reason the movies all followed the same formula, and were the guys who drove off Edgar Wright (and probably Joss Whedon, too). Then again, Marvel movies have also had a pretty solid level of quality, so I can't help be a little concerned. Blazing Ownager fucked around with this message at 20:31 on Sep 4, 2015 |

I can't help but think that might cause something of a rift. I hope not. ED: That said having heard the story behind Pearlmutter before this announcement I think it can only be a very good thing for the films to have him gone. Also this: quote:Ike are out of the way (trivia: I understand the reason there are no Black Widow toys is specifically because Ike, with a background in toys, believes girl toys do not sell and thus vetoed them again and again.

"Not only has there been a shake-up, I believe that the Creative Committee is actually finished altogether, although some version of it may continue to live on at Marvel TV, which remains under Ike's control. " "On paper that sounds like a great line-up of talent, but it seems as if in practice it was often a source of frustration. Over the years I've heard many stories of the Creative Committee giving notes that are pedestrian, motivated by 'save the cat' story logic and sometimes a drag on creativity. One Marvel creative talked to me about battles with the Creative Committee where they focused on details of nit-picky science that ignored the general tone of the script itself. The notes that drove Edgar Wright off Ant-Man came from the Creative Committee. What's more, the Creative Committee was often very tardy with their notes, making movie development a much slower process. All of the Committee members have other, very important jobs, so you understand why that would be the case, but it was a pain for filmmakers. And that's before taking into account the political divisions within Marvel that also created friction with the Creative Committee." "Any drag or difficulty caused by the Creative Committee is over, and any skinflint choices and bizarre decisions made by Ike are out of the way (trivia: I understand the reason there are no Black Widow toys is specifically because Ike, with a background in toys, believes girl toys do not sell and thus vetoed them again and again. One guy was the roadblock.)" So the pointy haired boss from Dilbert just got served, his influence over the Netflix show isn't quite known yet (though likely little will change - hang in there Charlie!), and the movies are under the leadership of a dude who knows how to make money. Cool!  forever at Bob Iger having to get involved though, holy poo poo. Is this what happens when white men get money and power?

Everyone should read Marvel Comics: The Untold Story by Sean Howe. It's really interesting and informative and paints Perlmutter as a really miserly figure.

The Marvel shakeup reminds of this little gem from the early 2000s. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fpac3C3P76Q Dumbo 2 was cancelled shortly thereafter and none of these people were allowed to make another movie ever again.  Which just goes to show that sometimes the system works.
