Does "funny and light" mean "just like a Justice League cartoon" because that got pretty dark too.

Brother Entropy posted:teen titans go is funny and light, maybe you should watch that instead of complaining that a show you haven't watched yet isn't catering specifically to you Or maybe I could get a live action show that isn't grim and gritty boiled in melodrama like all the other ones and you could stop giving me recommendations for cartoons instead? I don't have a problem with cartoons, I just want one fun live action superheroic show to balance the rest a bit. I'll watch it regardless of what it is, and probably enjoy it even if it's grim, since I liked both Daredevil and Jessica Jones, but I would like one show that's a bit less serious.

The Netflix shows having wildly different tones would be distracting and weird to me since they're much more closely connected to each other than the other Marvel stuff. Sorry Flash sucks, but so be it. If you don't like any of the shows on CW or ABC, then you're just gonna have to deal with not enjoying light superhero shows.

I have watched some. Can you stop giving suggestions now? If it's not what I want, that's fine. Sucks for me, but fine on the whole. I'll watch it and get over it. I'd still like one if possible. In live action. And English. I don't think that's a huge ask, but I'm getting the feeling I'm alone on that.

Luke Cage can't be lighthearted. It would massively conflict with the tone of his involvements in JJ.

Luke Cage is will be funny because visual gags on him being (mostly) invulnerable won't stop being hilarious. "Welp, was caught in the middle of a massive explosion! Better casually saunter out of the building and stop drop and roll"

Agent Carter is light and breezy and really drat fun. Don't dismiss it just because Agents of SHIELD may have sucked the air out of your enthusiasm.

I'll add to the below by saying that the way in which the show coincides with the Hydra reveal in Winter Soldier is amazing and actually does make you reevaluate the way you perceived things in the previous episodes (as such things should). jivjov posted:And SHIELD stopped being mediocre about 2/3rds of the way through season 1, became awesome and has been getting better ever since.

Hey the Daredevil S2 splash bumper promo image thing just came up on my Netflix. It's a supremely lovely quality image of the cast, but there's a weird looking woman(?) holding a razor(?) - and does that mean they inadvertently spoiled Typhoid Mary? E: Nm, it's probably just loving Elektra. E2: Yeah it was. moths fucked around with this message at 05:30 on Mar 12, 2016 |

I'm not saying Agents of SHIELD is bad. Lordy. I'm saying that the start of the show was a completely boring sod-all shitshow of a television arc. And so many people I know are just turned off the whole ABC brand because of it.

Seconding Agent Carter is upbeat and Jarvelous. Agents of SHIELD is also good if you can get over the weird goon bias. Lucifer spent like 4-5 episodes as an average procedural while it worked out all the kinks and it is now also amazing.

Snak posted:Hopefully the NYPD. I remember casting news that Alfre Woodard was cast as Black Mariah an old and insanely named villain of Cage's. Though there was also news of a few other black characters from Cage's books cast as well, so they might all be some sort of weird underground network thing. From a lot of the promotional material they've been showing for DD it seems like they don't even view Punisher as a nemesis.

And really, I can't think of anything short of laugh-track sitcoms that are less "grimdark" on the whole than the Flash. Even mass appeal comedic-drama stuff like Bones gets pretty dark at times (though the gimmick for that show was always the gory corpses). computer parts fucked around with this message at 18:17 on Mar 12, 2016 |

Snowglobe of Doom posted:Apparently Fu Manchu isn't public domain yet and Marvel lost their licence deal on the character a while back which has prevented them from reprinting a whole bunch of comics, so unless they've signed a new deal with the Sax Rohmer Estate we probably won't see him anytime soon.

Superhero grimdark isn't really in popular culture, but grimdark was basically invented to describe poo poo like Warhammer 40k. Which is, by definition, grimdark.

The main difference between Agent Carter and SHIELD is that SHIELD tries to work around it's limitations (budget, sets, being on ABC) whereas Agent Carter embraces the limitations and creates big goofy fun out of them.
