Rarity posted:JJ premiered last month though Sorry, I should have been clearer. Daredevil started filming in July 2014, and premiered the following April. JJ started filming in February of this year, and premiered last month. So about nine months from the start of filming to the premiere date, which would put DD S2 and Luke Cage around April and June, given that they started filming in July and September, respectively.

I dunno why Netflix is so tight lipped about their release schedule, but I think right now only Luke Cage Season 1 is officially slated, and it's no more specific than "2016".

What does it gain them to announce a specific date before like a month in advance once they're totally sure they have the whole show where they want it to be? I'm sure they have internal deadlines for production since it'd be crazy not to, but if they don't announce stuff publicly there's plenty of wiggle room for reshoots or whatever and they don't have to worry about hand-wringing from all over the internet if something slips by a week.

No one should expect a specific date. It's just a bit odd that they're not even specifying a year, which they've done well in advance with their other shows once they start coming together. Not saying it's that big a deal, though, as long as the creative side is finally falling into place.

How, indeed, will they find a way to make their new series worse than the critically acclaimed series that preceded it

As I said before, if the writer of Twilight brought us what I believe to be the best Marvel show by far then I'm satisfied their choice here is the right one. Even if his last show wasn't that well received.

I'm just glad the dude who got his powers from punching a Dragon in the Heart will be on tv. And it looks like his origins will be, at least, partially intact. Hopefully they'll go full 70s/80s cheesy martial arts movie. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DAZp_wbv0h4 Edit: poo poo, maybe we'll get a Shang-Shi Master of Kung Fu appearance.

Apparently Buck also has some experience with Rome, as a writer and EP? That's probably a good thing for the action angle I guess, though I've never seen it myself. How were the episodes he wrote on that show?

I just figured that the bad fights on Jessica Jones were more the result of the characters than the actual choreography. Jessica never really got any sort of training because her strength alone would always win over style (and when her strength doesn't mean anything at the end of the season she uses her brains to off Killgrave) and Luke Cage never bothered to learn more than slugging people in the face because why spend the time when your skin can't be damaged? They're brawlers. Really, the only person who puts the time into it is Patty and she finds out that even training day after day can't help her much when facing a stronger and more determined opponent.

I do think the bar fight and the showdown between Luke and Jessica were very good, though.

BottledBodhisvata posted:Also, the absolute worst part of the show so far was Jessica using her dumb rear end crackhead neighbor as a patsy to steal some drugs. There's a moment where it slows down and she looks at him and he looks away like he's SO BETRAYED and I laughed my rear end off. Okay, sure, I'm going to feel bad because Jessica used this junkie who lets himself into other people's apartments to do some sneaky hero poo poo. Wow, yeah, this beloved friend of yours is just so hurt. He's had three scenes and every one of them has him being a gently caress up, but yeah man, Jessica betrayed his trust or something. That moment is meant to show that in her desperation to stop Kilgrave, Jessica has become just as low as he has: using someone just because he was convenient. Also, to whoever said they want a Mortal Kombat TV show for Iron Fist...well, be very careful what you wish for.

Did someone here post a link saying that Kilgrave never physically sexually assaulting Jessica Jones in the comic was an editorial decision? I've been searching and I must just be using the wrong words or something. Or I read it somewhere else entirely. edit: VVV Yes sorry, in the comic. Lost that in a rewrite. odiv fucked around with this message at 23:29 on Dec 10, 2015 |

Maybe you're confusing it with the comic, where JJ was mindcontrolled to desperately want to have sex with Kilgrave but he amused himself by refusing.

From what I understand (phone posting, don't have links handy), that was an editorial decision for the comic book. The editors said she couldn't be raped, so Bendis wrote it the way he did, and I guess they let it stand. Even more interesting was another editorial decision for the comic: Jessica Jones was originally written to be Jessica Drew, but the marvel editors figured they might want to reuse her character for something else later down the line and worried they might not be able to rebuild her after going through a series so dark, so they made Bendis change it up, after he already had a bunch of stuff outlined. This explains a lot of stuff like the Carol Danvers friendship, and suggests how the Avengers plot might have played out.

They team up in the comics. One of the biggest differences in the comics is that the stories are soaked in the broader Marvel universe. There's one case that doesn't involve some A or B list Marvel dude. It's not a problem with the show, but they did have to go in some different directions and emphasize some different themes.
