Interesting that Marvel has had (at least) two evil baseball players who throw things with impeccable accuracy. That's Boomerang's origin, too. Has ol' Fred Myers ever gone up against Bullseye?

I'm not sure what he's on about They actually kept the evil pitcher thing, but only as a kid, he killed his coach with a ricocheted ball when the coach took him out to let another kid get some in game experience, then he joins the military and becomes a fed, because the military and law enforcement never attracts psychopaths he still has pretanatural good aim that they don't really explain, but that could just be a combo of his intense study and training.

I'm just starting episode 4 and it is slow going, but I'm into it. It feels like they're building to what would normally be a mid-season finale. Then we'll ramp up heading toward the big finale. So far they've done a great job making Not Bullseye Yet be a creepy fucker.

Plug has been pulled on Luke Cage https://deadline.com/2018/10/luke-c...-uveWrMTtuAYItQ I"m getting the feeling that they're being taken off Netflix to be moved to the Disney Streaming service.

Do they really think "Disney Netflix" is gonna be a massive winner?

sexpig by night posted:man that really sucks, Luke Cage was consistently good as hell Yeah, I think it’ll do pretty well. They have a really deep movie and TV catalog to pull from. Also, with the Fox acquisition, they can develop X-Men shows as well as what would be considered traditional Marvel fare. Having LucasFilm properties won’t hurt either.

Disney Netflix is gonna loving kill, yes. So with Iron Fist and Luke Cage cancelled, seems odds are high for a Heroes for Hire show or Daughters of the Dragon to combine them. Weird to cancel both shows when they set themselves up on hooks for the next season.

I mean I'm a big dork for almost all the Disney poo poo so I'm gonna be a fuckin paypig for them already, I'm just unsure how long it'll last. Then again it's Disney, they've kept absolute failures hobbling along for ages. I imagine 'we have to prop up our streaming service that's only doing fine' is far from the worst case scenario they have.

^^^ Netflix isn't going to squash a show they already paid for. What's even weirder about the Luke Cage news is that the word in the press was that a third season was just waiting on the i's dotted and t's crossed on the contract. So for Netflix to out of nowhere say in second thought, nah makes me think there's more going on than just a referendum on Luke Cage. Like maybe Netflix is rethinking being in business with Marvel, or who knows I don't know enough to read tea leaves, obviously.

There's not as many streaming services in Canada (seriously, you Yanks have what, 5 big ones and a bunch of smaller ones?) so i'll certainly sign up for Disney Netflix to suppliment Netflix. Having access to all the Marvel and Star Wars stuff is enough for me. I'd hope old school Duck Tales would hold up too. Not to mention it will probably have Disney stuff from Touchstone and its other more "adult" studios. That's a lot of content not including all the Fox stuff that will probably be on there.

The lovely thing about Canada is I would 100% subscribe to CraveTV or whatever the gently caress the Bell streaming service that sucks up all the rights to anything cool is ... if only they would loving release a PS4 app already. I wanted to sub for Twin Peaks but I didn't want to bother schlepping my computer tower out to the nice TV every Sunday. e: also luckily Netflix still has like all the Marvel movies and poo poo r/n in Canada, and will probably keep them if Disney's streaming service doesn't hit Canada, or at least until Disney releases some version of it here idk. I wish we got HBO's streaming thing too ffs Bell suck my dick!!

fwiw, Deadline updated their story with a bit more detail quote:This axing of Luke Cage came as a surprise. A writer’s room under showrunner Cheo Hodari Coker had been working for around six months producing scripts and taking notes from Netlfix and Marvel. As actors like lead Mike Colterremained under contract, a formal Season 3 order considered almost a foregone conclusion by all concerned. quote:In another sense, the cancellation was a done deal as the situation became tense on the corporate level. The Marvel shows on Netflix are costly to make, even with New York’s generous tax credits. Back in 2013, the streamer paid top dollar for the series, that they don’t even own so cutting Luke Cage loose was a shift bottom line call.

It sounds like Netflix didn't want to keep paying to make it since they don't own it, and maybe were trying to renegotiate the costs since they were gonna cut the episodes down from 13 to 10. So they probably wanted to pay less and Marvel wanted the same amount. Combine that with people not liking the scripts and there it is. It's surprising to say Marvel doesn't plan on bringing it back.

I don't understand. If they have video of the attack at the Bulletin, shouldn't Nadeem be like "Hey....that's Poindexter." Surely he should recognize his voice? Somebody should? And while the tears are flowing for episode 7 leave Melvin alone, drat it. The poor guy just can't catch a break
