The lowercase i makes me instinctively read Ki as an element but there is no Ki element! There's no L either, I honestly don't know why I parse it that way, but I can't not do it.

Weird they're making a TV show about a notoriously rear end in a top hat indie wrestler, but hell I'm here for it.

It's actually an anagram. Kilo. Disney is trying to force the metric system upon their viewers!

Now I know I'm a Disney shill cause I'm ready to make the transition to metric.

Hundreds of megaseconds, but not gigaseconds. And a megasecond is 277 hours, not sure where you got 16.

Finished Doom Patrol. I don't have much faith for a s2 given all the questions about WB's new streaming service, and while they certainly left enough threads for another run, I thought this season had a nice arc and if this was all there was, well that's OK. Probably the most ambitious TV comic book show I've seen, they don't exactly nail the Morrison-feel of the comic but I'm not sure that's possible any way. Anyway, good show, very funny.

Alfred doing whatever secret British spy he did before butlering up would be nice but not an entire series of it.

I can see the logic, Alfred was popular on Gotham kicking rear end and shooting people, but that's mostly because Sean Pewtree is awesome and gotham wasn't afraid of getting silly.

So let's make a completely different show with a completely different actor? (The Young Sheldon theory).

For some reason I'm gonna go ahead and watch Jessica Jones Season 3.

I can't believe they bothered to do yet another "Look, it's the comics costume lmao" bit with Trish. Felt like I got zapped back to the first X-Men movie. I know Cage did it, but his costume had a tiara, drat it.

Wait, so a comics accurate Hellcat costume was an option and they passed so she could wear yet another lovely make shift daredevil rag costume?

Why the hell would Patsy not want something like that? That's been her dream since childhood. To be fair, that costume, kinda clashed with the blonde hair. should have just reused her wig.

But...that's not what Jessica Jones is. I'm not even sure what a fun action comedy show about a rape survivor looks like.

First season of Jessica Jones was great, season 2 should have been about her warming up to a more lighthearted supporting cast of people and by season 3 she could be the relatively happy mother she became in the comics. They could have gradually gotten to an MCUish tone and maintained her "cool but rude" attitude by just allowing her to grow through an arc.

God forbid.

Jessica Jones probably has the most humor out of the four shows.

It has humor, but I wouldn't call it a comedy.

There were, uh, structural problems to the Netflix shows (Jessica should've taken on more random cases to pad out her seasons for instance), but I think the idea of doing serious minded comic book shows wasn't a bad one, and I'm glad that they tried something different.

That said, man, Iron Fist, woof.

That might have been nice. I will say on episode 4 I feel a lot better about this season than the last.

See I was thinking:
Daredevil = Leonardo the serious leader type
Jessica Jones = Raphael the loner with attitude
Luke Cage = Donatello not quite the nerd but the most civic minded and the least eager to fight
Ironfist = Michelangelo the goofball idiot
