EVERY MORNING I WAKE UP AND OPEN PALM SLAM A WHITE WHALE INTO THE PEQUOD. IT'S HELL'S HEART AND RIGHT THEN AND THERE I STRIKE AT THEE ALONGSIDE WITH THE MAIN CHARACTER, ISHMAEL.

i thought the problem with the netflix/disney shows was that it became clear early on that the companies were going to be competitors going forward (as netflix spent to develop their own content and disney started moving towards building their own streaming service) so that neither company had any real incentive in making sure those shows succeeded, which was reflected in their budgets and turnover and marketing

they were dead projects walking from the start, only being made because of contractual obligation (much like the microsoft kin and the apple/motorola ROKR phone)
ifk about "from the start" but this is a major factor just depends where you want to say it started. it also doesn't matter when/where it started lol

the most interesting thing about disney+ is that it suggests that maybe you actually need to be one of the five famously highest-profile and high-paying tech giants to make a web page where you can tap a picture and it streams a sequence of videos and it can remember where you were and it generally mostly works?

I liked the parts in Luke Cage where there was a Wu Tang needle drop. they should have done more of that.

one of the big problems with the marvel netflix shows was how there can be literal superhero battles in the streets of manhattan an 10,000 uparmored nypd/national guard special forces don't immediately rappel into every situation

person of interest had the same problem, these big setpiece gun battles in midtown and no cops show up

Jim Caviezel is apparently a huge evangelical freak. QAA did an episode about him which features quotes from people who worked with him on set of the person of interest. It's a fun listen.

i liked luke cage pretty well.

i really wanted to like iron fist bc sweet, buddhist kung fu superhero. but then he was a rich white savior and it somehow kept getting less good after that

i think i watched the first season of daredevil and it was ok. maybe the second one?

the people interviewed about him mention jim is so incredible dumb they had to treat him like a dog when giving him instructions, saying everything slowly, loudly and repeatedly

unrelated, he also got into a fight with a dog actor, dogctor, on set and was bitten by the dog, so they had to cast a new dog

qirex posted:

legion is... different. it's weird as gently caress and really leans on the weirdness and although it ends up being about saving the world it keeps it at reasonable human scale, plus most of the lead actors are really good which helps a lot. and yeah I watched the rest of jessica jones but I only really liked s1. hell, that and luke cage were the only of those netflix shows I actually enjoyed

maybe i should give it a go; s1 of jessica jones was good and i like luke cage. dd started fine, but the more odd villains try introduced the less i stick to it and i think i didn't catch the last season. lol to iron fist

Kim is such a great foil to Jimmy in BCS. Since I don't think Vince Gilligan will kill her off, I feel like she will be the first person Jimmy makes use the witness relocation service.

the later seasons of daredevil are endless tedium about his rear end in a top hat mentor and his rear end in a top hat mentor’s bullshit organization and how his bullshit powers are basically better than sight in every way and how his friends all hate him for lying to them for years, and the only thing that makes any of it worth watching are the scenes with vincent d’onofrio

daredevil as a character is frankly just far too silly to support either a serious dramatic tone or an intense backstory. just let the man be a small-time lawyer who defends his small-time client of the week by sneaking into offices and beating people up
