Dexo posted:Woah, lets not say things we can't take back. Nah, it's true. Heroes was pretty much Lost + Smallville. They had raided the Smallville producers and directors team too. The whole show was lit/shot/graded like Smallville but with a better budget. The Smallville season finale during Heroes's 1st season had the smallest budgeted Clark/Bizarro fight and it was strangely, honestly better than the culmination of Heroes season 1.

ToastyPotato posted:The old Heroes threads probably wouldn't survive today. Smallville I don't know. I can only base this on how much a few people whine very loudly about other people criticizing Agents of SHIELD in its thread. It's kind of a bummer. Nah, threads that turned into nothing but threadshitters and circlejerking got gassed back then too.

Fake or real, they've already dropped the ball on this one. GCPD should have been a ready for television pitch. Dialing the clock back on the characters twenty years doesn't do anything except confuse your audience while you try and reboot these characters on the big screen (not to mention develop another TV continuity on Arrow). Then, they go a step further and make it a show about Gordon and young Master Bruce's relationship... I don't understand DC or the WB's long game, here. But then again, I'm that guy that doesn't like Arrow, so whatever.

They are more than happy to concede just about everything to Disney/Marvel at this point in terms of quality and branding so long as they can promise short term profits on their own franchises. When the time comes they will pull the plug on DC for the most part without much hesitation. Basically I am saying they probably figure superheroes is a bubble that will eventually pop, so they don't give any kind of a poo poo as to investing any real energy into developing the properties they own. Let Disney spend tons of money making three dozen movies and TV shows and cartoons, we'll release some Batman and Superman stuff occasionally, rake in the quick cash, and then fire everyone at DC when the bubble eventually bursts.

According to The Wrap, Disney and the State of New York have struck a deal which will turn the city - arguably the centrepiece of the Marvel Universe - into the home of Netflix's planned series' based on Daredevil, Iron Fist, Jessica Jones and Luke Cage. An announcement from Disney CEO Bob Iger and Governor Andrew Cuomo will apparently be made in Times Square today, and the state has apparently carved out tax incentives valued at around $4 million to accommodate the needs of the massive multi-character series. Interestingly, the site also adds that the ambitious Netflix project will consist of around 60 one hour episodes in total. http://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansites/JoshWildingNewsAndReviews/news/?a=95173

I think it's meant to be 4 of them at 13 each, so they probably just rounded.

Edit:^^ He would have been growing up during a bad patch in HK history. But yeah, there isn't anything for him to do there anymore. Unless he wants to beat up the homeless that hang around Port Authority Bus Terminal. CSI: NY was also largely not filmed in NYC, at least not at first, I never watched it long enough to see if they moved. How I Met Your Mother, which is all about NYC and how great it is, is filmed in LA. The tax incentives thing kind of sucks. Disney can easily afford to just pay the bills. These incentives just end up losing money for the state.

Matt Murdock: Sworn enemy of drunken brunchgoers everywhere. Seriously, it'll be pretty amusing if they end up dressing up actual HK streets to look like Frank Miller envisioned them in the 80s... for a show that's set in the present day. Oh well, I live in NYC, so more chances to spy on the productions.

The series did have some good ideas, but they were not able to expand on them as it ended before it could flesh them out. The last trade reads like I was missing a couple of storylines as it had characters in places that did not follow from the last volume. For all you know some of the characters could still be there, but those characteristics will be revealed later.

However they are suggesting a supernatural procedure instead of hipster zombies.

Blue Devil's origin is that he actually was a stunt actor with a blue devil suit for a movie before he got turned into a real one, right?
