Two new AMC dramas in the pipe.quote:Not sure how to fill the Bryan-Cranston-bald-pate shaped hole in your heart now that Breaking Bad is no more? A source close to the situation just tipped me off that AMC is right on the brink of picking up two new dramas: Knifeman and Galyntine. This story is still breaking, and updates will continue to come as pickups are officially announced. Knifeman looks cool and I'd love to see how AMC does sci-fi. Also, I found the most 90's thing ever. It starts with like 10 orchestra hits: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ENZ3XbxCRZs zoux fucked around with this message at 15:35 on Nov 6, 2013 |

As most of you know, Vince Gilligan got his start on X-files and his episodes are absolutely outstanding. Darren Morgan's are also very very good. Honestly, the worst episodes are anything written by Chris Carter.

soapgish posted:I understand why I should be excited but this seems really desperate and ill-advised for having something, anything to do with street level characters. Problem is, I don't believe the stakes can be raised any higher than baddie in a penthouse sending out his goons with each series individually dealing until the team-up to take back the city, which win or lose will only be a headline about crime stats being down for two weeks and maybe some McGuffin to perpetuate struggle. A Spider-Man character works because while being street he's still a visually impressive A-list guy who can save the world and stop a purse snatching all the same, but this motley crew feels like the actual real life failures and pajama enthusiasts who dress up as superheroes and mobile phone in the real crimes. In other words, you don't know poo poo about these characters.

It's dumb to compare the Avengers to any other single superhero because the Avengers fight literally the baddest asses in the entire universe. So yeah, Luke Cage isn't going to be punching out Thanos or anything but you can still have good drama and stories with them facing dudes relative to their power level. Cage and Iron Fist are Heroes for Hire so they have an interesting angle on the superhero trope in that they aren't doing what they do because of great responsibility, they are just trying to stack that paper. (Even though Danny Rand is rich as poo poo  )

Rarity posted:Hasn't Luke Cage been one of the most important members of the Avengers for the last 5-6 years? Yeah all four of those characters have been Avengers (or New Avengers) at one point. Except JJ but she punched out Scarlet Witch one time. Irish Joe posted:Yeah, but its not much better. A few years ago comics started getting very talky and Alias was one of the books that led the trend. The only reason people say its good is because its different from the superhero books Marvel normally produces. However, compared to movies, tv shows or actual books, it offers nothing new and, in many respects, offers it in an inferior package. As usual, completely wrong.

Bown posted:I actually have to agree with him this time. Most of what is considered intelligent work in mainstream comics is still light years behind things with similar acclaim in film and TV. For examples, go look at the emotional/heartwarming panels thread in BSS. Can't that thread makes me cringe.

STAC Goat posted:Doesn't Doom wear his mask because the devil burned his face when he tried to use magic to pull his witch mom out of hell? Or something like that? Nah it's because he did some ill advised experiment in college, and Reed Richards told him not to do it, and it backfired and disfigured him. (I guess that could've been getting his mom out of hell, I think it changes) The severity of the disfigurement ranges depending on who's writing the book, from full blown Mel-Gibson-Man-Without-A-Face scarring to a tiny, tiny scar that he can't bear to see because he's so vain.

The CW ordered full seasons of its three freshmen shows (Tomorrow People, Reign and The Originals). I only watch TP and it's merely OK, I don't know about the other two. Wasn't there supposed to be some teen post-apoc CW show or something?

I always liked the episodes where they let Gillian Andersen be less Scully, like the Rashomon episode with Luke Wilson or the Loch Ness monster episode.
