So Netflix execs are pretty open to Marvel spinoffs from their main series of shows

And unlike a regular network, they are not weighed down with scheduling. They can release the things whenever is best and be done with it, no need to worry about sacrificing prime time real estate or running against other shows. Netflix is probably the healthiest place for Marvel shows. ToastyPotato fucked around with this message at 03:49 on Jan 18, 2016 |

Honestly aside from maybe 2 of the 37 odd films Marvel has made, Daredevil and Jessica Jones are probably the best live action poo poo Marvel has ever produced.

I wonder if Agents of Shield sucking has to do with it being on regular tv instead of netflix.

Network TV having a 22 odd episode limit means lots of wheel spinning and such so probably

It would be nice if the next Netflix one could manage 13 instead of 9 watered down though.

Dexo posted:Lol at thinking Agents of Shield is still bad I haven't seen it since halfway through season 1 and maybe it has gotten good but I mean, is it as good as DD and JJ? I somehow doubt that. Both netflix shows were great in their first season while even AoS fans admit it took awhile to get going.

It's no DD or JJ sure, but it got better to a bunch of people after the Winter Solider reveal and they were able to start actually start advancing plots. And stop talking around the villians. Ward also essentially went from the worst to the best character on the show.

I mean the discussion was specifically "the Netflix model is good in part because you don't have to have 22 episodes with network mandated breaks" and that led to Lurdiak asking if that's why AoS "sucked" (in comparison to the Netflix shows). I'm glad it has gotten good but at the very least some bullshit was pulled by the studio/network concerning AoS and as a result a good portion of it did suck. First and foremost locking it into a holding pattern until Winter Soldier came out. I still don't understand why they wouldn't just wait till WS premiered then to launch the series; or alternately just launch the "HYDRA has infiltrated us" storyline in the show and make it a nice crossover for the people who watch both the show and the movie. But also the 22 episode order makes a lot of shows drag, especially when they have to plan major storyline climaxes around sweeps. If the show had just been a Netflix series, they could have dropped 10-12 episodes immediately after WS came out and I'm sure it would be considerably better.

AoS has done a good job in seasons 2 and 3 (season 1 not so much) working around this by essentially structuring 22 episodes as 2 11 episode seasons with a short break in between.

AoS is definitely much improved and splitting their seasons as mikeaskol mentioned is also helping. That said, there were some definite rough spots even then. The episode with the random villains was easily one of the dumbest things the show has done and was as bad as any bad season 1 episode. It also still feels like it meanders a bit in general. Agent Carter is a much shorter series, even shorter than Netflix shows, and season 1 was still guilty of meandering a bit. I don't know if perhaps this was less noticeable in a binge watch though. That said, Agent Carter had much better, more interesting characters, than AoS.

Madkal posted:Network TV having a 22 odd episode limit means lots of wheel spinning and such so probably While I agree with you (haven't watched AoS but this criticism applies to Season 1 of Flash), the same could be said about Jessica Jones. The only things that brought that show down for me was the narration - which they seemed to drop or minimize after a while - and the fact that they probably could have trimmed it down to 8 or 10 episodes and been better off.

The two shows don't overlap, but on top of that, ABC is running a Captain America special during Flash, and CW is running both Legends of Tomorrow and DC Movies specials during the first hour of Agent Carter so good luck if you don't have a DVR and you want ALL THE CONTENT tomorrow night...

Aside from the Jimmy/Lucy subplot, tonight's Supergirl actually did the character the stuff way better than the superhero stuff by far. Also, the latest season preview for Flash has me pretty hyped.

A Punisher series at this point probably is a foregone conclusion. Hopefully. I think it will be excellent if they pull from Garth Ennis's run like doing a Slavers mini series or something similar.
