StumblyWumbly posted:The whole thing behind season 1 is a conspiracy to build an earthquake machine to kill the poor. The greatest thing about that is it succeeds. Amazingly the super smart insane rich guy had a back up for his earthquake machine in case things went wrong, the heroes don't stop him, and hundreds of poor people die. It's a ballsy show.

And she was Quasar for nine seconds. Like she was Captain Marvel for nine seconds. And was Martyr for nine seconds. RIP you crazy woman, you died never finding your place in your world.

Yeah I mean I really don't see how you do Jessica Jones and not touch on Purple Man. That's a pretty major part of Alias, and I don't see *why* you'd do Jessica Jones without drawing on Alias.

Heathen posted:Season 3 Arrow wishes it was Agents of Shield. Nah, Arrow had a boxing glove arrow this season, it is probably going to end up more endearingly entertaining than whatever AoS puts out this year. Which isn't to say that AoS hasn't had a much better 2nd year, it's just that a man shot another man in the face with a boxing glove arrow on tv and that is a thing we have thanks to Arrow.

Reader isn't eyeless, he had his eyes ripped out. His power is he can make anything he reads real. They thought he was too powerful, so out came the eyes [Of course his power isn't anything he sees, it's anything he reads, so now he just uses braille]. This guy is something else.

To be fair nothing carried Heroes through it's later seasons, it just went so high early on that it took awhile for it to crash land again. The 4400 was legitimately good though, and skipped right to "People with powers and the world knows about it" pretty drat quick, for which it deserves all the credit in the world.

Frasier would be Banner. People forget that how much truly deranged poo poo he got up to on Cheers, and to a lesser extent Frasier. It's all intellectual snobbery and fine wine until he wakes up naked and covered in dirt somewhere.

wyntyr posted:Edit: pretty sure this Ghost Rider is so named because the ghost rides in the host. It'd be a stupid explanation and as much as I love this show, it seems like where they'd go with it That is literally what is going on with Robbie Reyes in the comics. He's killed in a shooting, and comes back to life a ghost bonded to him. The other Ghost Riders have an angel of vengeance bonded to them in comparison. In a very real sense, Robbie is the only one whose name actually makes a bit of sense.

Honestly if they wanted to do it right it needed to be in production basically immediately after Daredevil season 1 to give it the time to do the fight production it really needed. You can get away with half-assing that poo poo with something like Luke Cage, because he doesn't really fight that much. He just crushes dudes effortlessly most of the time. Danny is all about the martial arts, so if the fights don't pop you are wasting everyone's time.

ToastyPotato posted:As someone who has never read an Iron Fist book, does he really not have any iconic story lines to be adapted? The Immortal Weapons would be a completely loving ridiculous storyline to adapt, but it would take like 3 times the budget they have to work with and you'd need people that can actually fight and act to sell it. And it's not something you can really do as the first story. If you aren't invested in K'un Lun before the other Seven Capital Cities of Heaven are introduced, who cares? You can't just jump straight to "Hi this is Danny, and this is the Prince of Orphans, and this is Fat Cobra, and the Tiger's Beautiful Daughter" and so forth. One of the characters is also the previous Iron Fist's daughter, and you probably don't want to introduce that guy too quick because he's basically Danny but a pulp 30s action hero that figured out how to use his magic glowing kung fu powers on guns. Which is sort of an amusing way to counter the "White guy masters kung fu better than the Asians can" thing, insomuch as he's not even as good as the last white guy to do it. So yeah, it's tricky to get to the good bits of Iron Fist, and it's impossible if the main character isn't a badass that is constantly kung fu'ing the poo poo out of things.

twistedmentat posted:So thinking about Inhumans being officially canceled, could it have been a good show? Like just could there have been a decent Inhumans show? Maybe if they had been willing to spend money, and not have a talent-less hack as show runner and have the most cliched characters and plots. You basically just do what they did with the comics new push. A bunch of their crystal poo poo gets into the eco-system and a whole crop of new Inhumans come out of nowhere. You counter their entirely normal and modern world views with a bunch of royalist assholes as the antagonists. Instead of, you know, following the royalist assholes who have godlike power that requires a loving ridiculous budget to do well.

BrianWilly posted:2) There's this looming..."pallor?" over everything that's happening on this show, which is that we know for a fact that no matter what these characters do...no matter how much they improve their horrific class system or fight back against Brainiac or Black Zero or anything else...this entire planet's still gonna blow up and all you guys are gonna die screaming in roughly a lifetime. Well, maybe not you guys specifically, but definitely your kids and grandkids. Good luck with that! Well I mean little Kandor was always a thing. Hundreds of thousands of them will survive the explosion. It's not great, but it's not nothing.

twistedmentat posted:Those of you who've read the comics, how close is it? The answer is sooooooooooort of but not really? There are a lot of the same big ideas, and the basic outline of the characters, but they mix a lot of the first two trades together in a blender and add a lot of their own poo poo. So the main thrust of this season is the first trade, the Apocalypse Suite, but most of the time travel stuff is from the second, Dallas. They are two distinct stories, so the fact you are mixing them in the first place gives you something very different to start with. There's also entirely new characters added that wildly change the motivation of some people, and the ending is of course profoundly different. Hell, some people have different powers.

That spoiled section is probably the weakest change from the comics, as that character doesn't exist in the comics.

CityMidnightJunky posted:Yeah I get what they're saying. But I'm almost certain the answer to that question would have been 'gently caress yes' Well I mean the shows went to poo poo basically instantly, so I think history has vindicated their decision making process. I will always love that loving James D'Arcy is the only one to make the leap from tv to movies. Good on him.

Canada, Boston, the Southwest, California. But he holds Canadian citizenship, so I will default to calling that. Unless he's currently done something cool, then I will say he's from Boston.
