Now granted most of the other shows did kinda faceplant eventually, but still. I think the Feige/Perlmutter feud might have more to do with the difficulty getting the shows to cross over.

Allegedly it was because Permlutter had influence over the MCU back before Marvel Studios was made a fully independent entity. At that time, there was a committee headed by Marvel Entertainment execs. This committee is allegedly the reason Whedon stopped working with Marvel and is the reason the biologist in Iron Man 3 went from being the main villain, to the chick that Tony humped and dumped at one point who dies to move the story along.

Loeb and Kinsberg and Ayer should be sealed in a barrel and dropped in the ocean. I know there is an animation thread, but I don't want to necro it, but I've been binging on Batman TAS and holy poo poo I forgot just how good it is. It has kids episodes, but most of them are surprisingly adult. But the best thing? Batman can be out thought and out fought. He's not a unstoppable god that is 10 steps ahead of everyone. He can have self doubt, he can not know how to win.

She was a major character in season 1 because her life constantly intersected with Jessica's, in season 2 and this one they just keep cutting to her doing her own poo poo and it's just taking away from the main story. This is the Jessica Jones Show, not the Everyone Who Was In Season One Ensemble Cast Show.

I haven't watched Season 3. But from what I remembered of Season 2 of Jessica Jones (which, and I can't state this enough, was worse than Ironfist season 1.) Carrie Anne-Moss's plot in Jessica Jones was completely superfluous. She has some interactions with the A-Plot, but her own plot (how she was "unfairly" pushed out of her company, for the minor reason of how she slept with her secretary and pinned crimes on her.) had no relevance on the main show. It was one of the major problems with Jones season 2.

You see this a lot in tv shows nowadays, actors have contracts that say they'll only stay on if their character gets so much screen time, so if they're a supporting character that means the show will split its attention from what people actually want to watch just to give these minor characters something to do. I suppose it's a lesser evil than the supporting cast of a show just vanishing after the first two seasons because the actors got a better offer than "show up every 3 episodes to say a couple lines".

Lurdiak posted:Why is this lawyer lady's sex life the b-plot of this season. I'm only through nine episodes, but because it directly impacts the main story? Hogarth trying to get back with Kith drives a wedge between her and Malcolm, causes Kith's husband to commit suicide and drives clients away from her law firm, which means she takes Salinger on as a client. More generally, Hogarth is a perfect example of a PeakTV antihero, I'm endlessly fascinated with the character, and if she was on a different show I think there would be more buzz about Moss's performance.

This is mega uninteresting. Superheroes aren't supposed to get annoyed that they don't have evidence to pin on a guy if he's just a serial killer with no connections. Just beat the poo poo out of him and web him up with a note.

One of the major issues with the Netflix shows is the insane amount of time they spend on side character subplots. I love Alfre Woodward, she's great as Black Mary but she has more screen time than Coulter in s2. I like Rachael Taylor, I like her as Hellcat, but sooooo much time.

Aren't Woodward and Taylor antagonists and need the character development? Especially Mariah as she was sidelined so much in the back half of Luke Cage S1 due to Diamondback. I'd say Jerry and Malcomb in Jessica Jones are more worthy of side quests that probably could've been whittled down. But I ended up really enjoying Moss' Jerry plot in JJs3 even though the season was a dud. I felt like of all the characters, Jerry's storyline overall was the best season to season. I really honestly hate how it ended. I hated the last second Kilgrave voice. I hated the dour, complete downer of a note it all ended on. I hated how characters kept referring to the worst of Marvel-Flix as if it was some brilliant television (Jess' Mom, Luke's brother). Hell despite how much I hated how Diamondback was showcased, I hate how he gets sent to The Raft (which gets mentioned a LOT and we never see it) off screen. I hated that the two second Luke cameo was like the most chemistry she had with another male character forever. I hated that the Feelings guy even existed. I kept waiting for someone to call his powers bullshit nobody ever really does. When this show hit it on Season 1, it really hit it well. There are season 1 episodes that I will gladly re-watch. But man this was a badly paced season, full of bad dialogue, over acting and characters that are just all over the place. Kind of like the rest of the series. notthegoatseguy fucked around with this message at 03:44 on Jun 21, 2019 |

That's a symptom of trying to produce the shows like really, really long movies. This serial killer guy would be a fine 3 or even 5 episode villain, but I'm on eppisode 7 so far and Jessica just got a legal and thematic victory over him, a really satisfying one, even, yet there's 5 more episodes to go. If this guy was just a piece of a larger story being told throughout the season, I wouldn't be so tired of him, and the show'd be moving too fast to spend 80 hours on Trish and Hogart. People endlessly complained about the pacing of the Netflix shows, and kept advocating for a reduced episode count, but the real issue was an unwillingness to resolve stories before the season finale. Kingpin's rise and fall in DD S1 could support 13 episodes. Killgrave and Jessica's war very nearly could, although there was a little bit of "get on with it" there. But these other seasons were begging for a shift in stakes and antagonists, a continuing story, a less decompressed take on the events. Daredevil Season 2 was the only season that tried something like that, shifting from "Holy poo poo, the Punisher!" to dealing with Elektra and The Hand. Unfortunately that latter half was executed horribly and Elektra was terribly cast, so maybe the poor reception scared them from ever changing the formula again.

Luke Cage s1 also did the 6 episode split thing but also had the same problem as DD s2 where the back half was terrible, and imo worse than DDs because at least the Hand pushed into the crazier superhero world and kept Punisher around to keep things sorta interesting , while LC killed off an S-rank actor in a great role and replaced it with a solid actor stuck in a garbage role and story.

That was right around the time Ali was blowing up so it's hard to say if the killed him off or not because of availability. They killed off Urich in DD because they wanted Vondie Curtis-Hall for the part but he could/would only do one season.

I mean Diamondback definitely was a tone shift from Cottonmouth but they were part of the same network and knew each other so it's not quite the same as going from Punisher to mystical ninjas, but I feel you.

Does Too Old To Die Young count as comic book TV since Brubaker co-created and co-wrote it? Because omg is it utterly insanely wild and filled with Brubaker's noir archetypes under the methodical neon burn of NWR's violence.
