DeKnight has actually said a fair few times that he doesn't know much about plans for Daredevil beyond his own series, so my sense is that it'll be more self-contained than the rest of the Defenders project.

I liked Agent Carter too, it wasn't brilliant but it was a pretty fun first episode (aside from her friend dying or whatever). One thing which I thought was a bit silly was her treatment in the SSR, since from Cap 1 she had a lot of respect from the soldiers. I suppose it's along the lines of how women were treated at the time, though, no matter how much they proved themselves. The interactions between her and Jarvis were great too.

I just watched the One Shot and I can easily see that one shot being the "end" of the series. I wouldn't be surprised if the end of Agent Carter has Howard lobbying Washington to start SHIELD. Carter taking missions on the sly is probably going to be an ongoing plot of the series.Barry Convex posted:Yeah, Melissa Rosenberg is the showrunner. I mean he could be lying but most of the solo movies were pretty solo and the Avengers movie handled the story of how they all came together. I'm sure the Defenders' series will do something similar.

I think there will be more connections between the tv shows than there was between the movies just because Luke Cage has a ton of history with both Jessica Jones and Iron Fist, but Daredevil sorta being its own thing until Defenders would make sense too, he was always a loner.

It makes more sense if you think of the SSR as having been reorganized and turned into something more akin to the FBI after hostilities officially ended (sort of like how the OSS morphed into the CIA). None of the guys she's working with now knew her during the war (they even mention that one or two of them were Pacific Theater vets), so they act like typical WWII veterans of the era, casually dismissive of the woman in the office. I imagine we'll see a big difference in how, say, the former Howling Commandos treat her, since they spent a lot of time with her during the war and have seen what she can do first hand.

They've also emphasized it with the radio play, but the general public just thinks of her as Cap. America's fling, and not someone who was actually there and contributing to the war effort.

She's also a superior officer with the soldiers (and even then, one of them still needs to get punched.) At the SSR she's technically equal, but that's 40s women in the workplace equal.

It was also pointed out in the TVIV thread that Carter actually benefits from being thought of as little more than a sectary because it enables her to hear things that she wouldn't normally be able to hear.

Twisted's wording was poor but I assumed his post was about how Peggy used their sexist stupidity to her advantage, which provided more entertainment in the show not that it was saying their treatment of her was to her benefit. mikeraskol fucked around with this message at 05:56 on Jan 11, 2015 |

Eh, if she was a dude she would still have to work around the SSR as she is literally helping someone indicted on treason, withholding information about his leaving. As it would be hella suspicious how she knows all of this information about Starks weapons and tech. Not that it's "good" but her being able to blend in and be percieved as not important is one of the most important things a spy does Which is why she told white knight dude to knock it off as him standing up for her does no good to either of them.

ToastyPotato posted:Guess they are giving the former Young Justice studio some work with the Vixen thing? Looks like it. If I had to guess as well, this might be DC's answer to Marvel's planned Netflix mini-series. A showcase for an even more obscure heroine on a digital platform, nevertheless set within the same universe, presumably to expand things within spending as much money. On the one hand, its kinda annoying that DC's first superhero show specifically about a female hero in decades is going to be animated in an otherwise live action universe, but on the other hand, its going to be the first African superheroine show out of either of the big two at all, which is actually a pretty decent move on DC's part. Hopefully it'll be able to get broadcast outside of CW Seed somehow, because I live in the UK, and I managed to get my sister and father both hooked on the Flash - so it'd be nice to expose them to Vixen.

Considering Supergirl isn't even cast yet and Vixen already has artwork for the cartoon, probably Vixen. Casting a VA is going to be a billion times easier than casting Supergirl, especially if you considering Vixen was already in some cartoons (Young Justice? Something else?) and they can reuse one of those if they are feeling particularly lazy.

CW Seed shows are usually just shorts. The animated Vixen series will probably just be a handful of 5-10 minute episodes, not a full on animated series.

Timeless Appeal posted:Weird parts of Birds of Prey: I never watched it, but it also seemed to be a really weird hodgepodge of multiple DC continuities on top of all the weird original stuff: main DCU (Barbara Gordon was Batgirl, gets crippled by Joker and becomes Oracle); Earth-2 (Huntress is Batman and Catwoman's daughter); the Burton films (Catwoman was a metahuman); and the DCAU (Harley Quinn exists, Joker is voiced by Mark Hamill). Oh, yeah, and its Black Canary was just a teenager with psychic powers, who later turned out to be the daughter of the real Black Canary.
