jng2058 posted:They're playing the long game. That's how all the Joss shows worked, with clues and hits scattered throughout the first half of the season followed by a ratcheting up of pressure in the second half and a blowout in the season finale. Even if you have doubts, as I do, about how much Joss is still involved in the show, the remaining principles all worked on Spartacus and that had much the same structure. That's fine. I just wish it was better now and not at some nebulous point in the future. It's not bad, but it almost immediately squandered its own potential in favour of being as safe and inoffensive as possible. I guess the same could be said about the Marvel films, but at least they had more energy and creativity to them than this has had so far.

This is really cool. All of these heroes make way more sense on TV than they do on the big screen, so I'm glad they're not trying to force an Iron Fist movie or something when it probably would never be a huge success. Netflix is a really interesting partner, too. Agents of SHIELD is heavily flawed, but there's so much potential in this space and it's really exciting that they're getting behind it in such a big way.

Soonmot posted:How much TV do you guys watch? I haven't had TV on my TV for around eight years or so. I have netflix and my bluray player, so I don't actually watch many TV shows. I mean, as someone who watches a lot of TV shows, SHIELD ranks pretty low. The acting isn't great, the plotting feels almost irrelevant, the quippy dialogue grates sometimes. I don't think it's a bad show by any means, but it feels very early 2000s in tone and style, before networks realized that they didn't have to settle for cheap-looking monster of the week shows. I haven't seen last night's episode yet, but I'm wondering what people see in May. I like Ming-Na, and I keep waiting for her to do something, but she just stands around looking sullen and talking about how her past is dark and mysterious.

I got back into comics like two years ago and I just find pretty much all of Ennis' stuff insufferable. I couldn't even get into Punisher MAX. He's almost as bad as Millar to me. Edit: Okay, maybe that's harsh. Mostly I just find Ennis' stuff really lame and mean-spirited, while Unfunnies is basically the worst thing I've ever read.

jng2058 posted:Honestly, I'm not sure either Marvel or DC or, indeed, the entire comics industry as we know it will exist in 20 years. I rather expect to see a mass die off of comic shops and the extinction of dead tree pamphlets with 22 pages of content for $4. It wouldn't surprise me to see both DC and Marvel only publishing online and that just enough to maintain copyright over names and concepts. Comics aren't even sold outside of dedicated shops in most of the world now, whereas 15 years ago I could pick up a Marvel comic in any convenience store. Print is loving dead any moment now and the sooner the Big Two realize that and capitalize on a digital revenue model and reorganize the way they view that market, the better off the industry will be. The fact that variant covers as a marketing strategy is a thing that exists in 2013 is nuts to me. Digital comics are great and all, but they need to take it a step further and come to terms with the idea that the only people who buy 5-10 single issue comics every week for $3/4 a pop are insane nerds. Something cheap and easily accessible like Marvel Unlimited, but with actual new stuff on it, should be the norm. Hakkesshu fucked around with this message at 20:56 on Dec 2, 2013 |

Trast posted:Taking a shot at a female lead action/adventure show isn't the worst idea in the world to try in that format. Nah, but something like the Jessica Jones show makes more sense in the context of modern TV. This seems like something that could maybe have been successful in the early 2000s, but probably not today. Of course that also describes Agents of SHIELD.

This might fall on deaf ears (understandably so), but yesterday's Agents of SHIELD was legit awesome. It was just a really clever, fun spy show with actual emotion and creativity shown by the people involved. I mean as a whole the show still has a ways to go, but this episode was the first time it actually made me feel something and wasn't just 45 minutes of complete blandness.

bobkatt013 posted:That was another huge problem with heroes, they were all overpowered as gently caress. If they kept powers sort of small with huge threats being overpowered and therefore they all had to team up to stop them. However, nope they make most of the main characters stupidly powerful. I mean Peter and Sylar were as powerful or more powerful as Silver Age Superman. poo poo now I wish Peter was able to shoot out tiny Peters of his hands to help him. They were more powerful than the budget of the show would allow, which lead to that awesome showdown that went on entirely behind closed doors. Man, that loving show. I'd like to think that TV in general has progressed so much since it first aired, so they couldn't possibly bungle it again, but fuuuuuuck.

I thought about the implications of turning Skye into Carol Danvers as well, but I can't really see that happening under any circumstances. It isn't a superhero show, it wouldn't make sense. Of course they could take the show in a different direction based on the negative feedback, but I'll eat my hat if Skye ever starts wearing a costume and gains the ability of flight.

Just caught up on SHIELD and yeah those three Cap 2 fallout episodes were really loving good. The last one with Blackout wasn't though, so they're not out of the fire yet. What they did with Ward was really the best possible direction for that character. Spy Randy Orton.

I don't know that I agree it looks fantastic, but it's good enough to where I'll probably check it out. In my mind it has the same problem that every other occult/horror style TV-show has in that it looks incredibly cheap. Not that it isn't understandable, and with that said, I could go for a darker, bleaker version of Supernatural.

Much stranger things have happened than a show being crappy for its first season and being amazing for the rest of its run. Even after its turn-around I wouldn't call it great, but they did at least legitimately try some creative, daring stuff, which is more than I can say for most generic network action/spy shows of this caliber.

Oh god when I heard it was someone from Boardwalk Empire I was immediately "please be Harrow", but he's probably aiming higher than a superhero show. I guess this guy is fine, too. I didn't care for him on BE much, but I can't imagine he'll do a bad job.

Heroes was a bad show, but I honestly don't think this is a terrible idea. I hope it's good, TV in general is in a different place than it was then, so maybe they learned something? I bet Masi Oka returns as well. Not like he's doing anything noteworthy.

As someone who's not very familiar with Hellblazer, I didn't think it was very good. Definitely reminiscent of Supernatural, but not nearly as confident or fun as that show. It feels very mid-2000-ish in that it's corny as poo poo and a lot of the sets/editing/effects look cheap as hell. Also their attempts at shock horror are downright laughable, goddamn. Main dude's pretty good. You can tell he enjoys the part, and he has some good mannerisms and tics already. The female lead is awful, though; she's one of those paper-thin audience surrogate characters like what's-his-face from the first Hellboy, and she cannot act her way out of a paper bag. There's absolutely no personality there. I'll probably check out a few more episodes to see if it improves, but right now I'm not impressed. The only thing it really has going for it is the main character, but I don't know if he's good enough to salvage the rest if this is all they can muster for the pilot.
