I mean it seems unfair to lay everything on his door step, but with all the poo poo people are willing to talk about you just know there has to be worse poo poo people are sitting on.

I'm just here to see people be overwrought and badass at each other with sharp metal things until somebody dies. I think part of the problem with Marvel Netflix is that it tries to draw from that well, but the people in charge are too hesitant/incapable/inflexible enough to go all the way with it. Superhero shows, like kung-fu movies, should be completely overdone. Every character should be larger than life, like some kind of Arthurian tragedy. wiegieman fucked around with this message at 09:10 on Oct 23, 2017 |

But again, it’s only fair to mention that the decline in action sequences between ItB S1 and S2 is substantial, at the very least it’s way more noticeable than the decline in fights between DDS1 and DDS2. I was very much Into the Badlands, so to speak, but only made it two episodes in before I realized the guy who did all the good fight scenes clearly wasn’t involved anymore.

The Netflix shows have been mostly very good but they'd better rally pretty soon and simplify it a tad. Dial it down and get back to basics. The best ones have used this approach (JJ, DDs1, LC 1st half). I have high hopes for Punisher and DDs3 getting us back on track. Seems like somewhere around 2/3 through Luke Cage they stopped giving a poo poo somehow and started coasting. Until this thread, I never even knew what a "showrunner" was or why it mattered.

And the showrunner generally has higher creative authority/responsibility than the producers anyhow.

Stars of shows for instance, often become Producers on their shows over time, and while they may have some input over their character, they aren't the final word.

Yeah, a showrunner-producer will be on set nearly every day (good ones at least) and can approve or change things during filming instead of leaving that to the director/AD, who may only work for one episode. This person will work closely with the script coordinator in the office and the script supervisor on set to make sure the show is fulfilling the vision of the writers/creators. This is in contrast to the Line Producer (the “produced by” credit)/Unit Production Manager/Assistant Director hierarchy, who exercise very little creative input and who mostly serve to manage the studio’s money. On shows without a designated showrunner, the directors have much more creative power, which can be a detriment because they change so often. Their feedback comes from the creative producers watching the dailies in the office, which has a significant lag time and can prevent things from being reshot, which is much easier and cheaper on the day than scheduling reshoot days. Showrunners are good.

), but the decline in production and narrative quality was so steep over such a short period of time that it's like watching Arrow in high-speed. And with the next season having as many episodes as the first two combined, I just can't imagine it climbing back to its former heights.)

I mean, I laughed at the poor child actress in a cheap wig trying to twirl knives and do lovely-looking stances that were probably choreographed fifteen minutes before filming while strapped into obvious wires with INTENSE ASIAN ACTION MUSIC drumming away in the background, but that's probably not what they were going for. The show has other funny action scenes (okay yeah, even in the second season); the problem with the one I linked is that it's so poorly put-together that it looks like it's a whole different universe from the rainy swordfight.

You mean you don't like a hamfisted and stupid romance that destroys all the characterization of the protagonist and reduces him and the love interest to comical sitcom stereotypes???? you don't find it compelling for him to destroy his job and friendships for no reason at all except to get his dick wet????
