StumblyWumbly posted:I don't know poo poo about the situation, but I guarantee you being nice has nothing to do with it And yet Marvel was willing to give FOX an extension on the Daredevil franchise in exchange for Galactus and Silver Surfer. Furthermore, I never said Marvel was being nice, I said they were letting it slide. If they have no immediate need for Namor why press the issue? Especially when there exists the possibility that they can get him back for nothing? Disney didn't buy back the rights to Daredevil, Punisher or Ghost Rider. Lurdiak posted:Marvel is owned by Disney now, Disney doesn't "let things slide" when it comes to IP rights. I'm well aware Disney owns Marvel and they have all the money in the world, but they can't buy the rights back if the studio doesn't want to sell. See: Spider-Man. See: X-Men. My point was perhaps Universal was following along the X Movie every Y Amount of Time formula, but then they were bought out by NBC who in turn was bought out by Comcast. It has nothing to do with corporate pleasantries or money, but rather movie rights changing hands twice in eight years has so far prevented them from finishing a movie.

Lurdiak posted:Absolutely. TNG worked because it was episodic fun silly stuff. DS9 started taking itself horribly seriously and attempting the most godawful long-running plotline I've seen in science fiction. They also attempted and failed miserably at having shades of grey in this ridiculous, boring, bogged down conflict of theirs. Then the final season had a stupid magic book? It was a living nightmare. I like you. You have good Star Trek opinions. I don't see how any one can complain about AoS spinning it's wheels when every episode has built off the last. Quick - who killed Sarah? What important piece of story did we get from Felicity meeting her mom? How many seasons did it take to finally kill Olicity? Season 3 Arrow wishes it was Agents of Shield.

ToastyPotato posted:It's like most of the talent from Arrow evaporated and then condensed over the Flash writer's room. My fear however is that a combination of WB interference and season 1 load blowing will make season 2 of the Flash a train wreck. When the entire basis of your first season involves heavy time travel fuckery it makes sense to focus all their attention on Flash. zoux posted:The first half of the season was aimless but not as bad as people say and I'm really getting irritated by the "Arrow sucks now" narrative. The first half of Agents of SHIELD was not as bad as people said and that didn't stop this thread from tossing shade wherever possible despite the two shows being dissimilar. If nothing else its delicious irony.

ToastyPotato posted:AoS writing could only be considered "better" if you consider super dull, safe writing "good". Agents of SHIELD was a show that 1) spent it's first sixteen episodes of its first season intentionally misleading its audience and 2) wound up alienating part of said audience just so that it can 3) blow up the entire premise with its last six episodes that 4) followed up on the plot of a movie that did not have direct ties to the show. This the show that is has safe writing that takes no risks?

Turns out Supergirl was on Glee with Flash. I've heard nothing but negative things about Glee. Is it one of those shows that's really bad with a really good cast? Supergirl is cute  but looks bad. I will watch it anyway.

Fox gets everything TV/movie for X-Men and Marvel gets everything FF in time for their Phase 4 (get it?) movie in 2020. I'd also be down for a Netflix Phase 2 with Punisher / Blade / Ghost Rider / Moon Knight.

Why is there no thread for Supergirl? Was the leaked pilot really that bad?  The actress who plays Supergirl was on Glee with Grant Gustin aka The Flash. 1) we need a Neil Patrick Harris / Music Meister crossover episode and 2) was Glee a show with bad writers, but good acting? I've only ever heard bad things about it.

Doctor Spaceman posted:Dunno if this is a spoiler or not, but is there anything from Jessica Jones in Daredevil S2? Haven't finished JJ and I was wondering if I should do that first. One of the characters in the third episode just made a one-line reference to something from a late Jessica Jones episode that you won't catch if you haven't seen it.

zoux posted:I will add that I've read reviews, discussions and recaps all over the place and the only place where anyone has even mentioned an unresolved hole is on these forums. No one else cares becaue they don't have to have immediate resolution to what is obviously an ongoing plot. The Hole isn't even the most interesting subplot. Karen mentions a brother and later we find out he's dead. Her reaction to the newspaper clipping immediately makes her cry. I understand it's a sad memory for her, but immediately tearing up? Something about this has traumatized her and it's not mentioned again. But no let's talk about The Hole some more. I feel a deep connection with all that dirt I don't see.

Just put it on the CW and forget about it. I stopped reading DC with the New 52. I don't like Supergirl, Legends of Tomorrow, Flash or Arrow anymore. I didn't like Dark Knight Rises, Man of Steel or Batman v Superman. My transformation to Marvel fanboy is almost complete.

X-O posted:NBC has picked up DC's Powerless. The comedy is set in the DC Universe and is about a young insurance adjuster who deals with regular people that need help with damage caused by superheroes. Vanessa Hudgens stars and it also features Alan Tudyk, Danny Pudi, and Christina Kirk. And it's a half hour sitcom on NBC so could last anywhere from 6-13 episodes before cancellation. This is going to be a series filled with SNL skits that never made it to air. I give it two months.

I like most of TOS / TNG and DS9 until it tried to be Babylon 5. I can't believe there hasn't been a Trek show for 11 years. I look forward to the new one next year.

Toxxupation posted:I'm watching Arrow, in season 2, and I'm pretty goddamn tired of how most episodes consist of two members of Team Arrow being snipy miserable cunts at each other for 35 minutes. Also extremely tired of the fact that everyone holds endless grudges that never take into account context or severity. Lying about something that ends in somebody else being killed is apparently directly equivalent to actually killing them in the Arrow-verse, even though that doesn't make any goddamn sense. Enjoy it while you can. Season 2 is Arrow at its best.

zoux posted:Friends, is Iron Fist as bad as they say? I just finished the eleventh episode and it's a solid okay. Unlike the other Marvel Netflix shows Iron Fist starts off with a sketchy first episode (the dialogue dealing with the disbelief of his identity is seriously the worst part) and the second isn't that great either, but after that it's pretty okay. There's no Daredevil's Hallway or Punisher Versus The Mob, but it also hasn't fallen apart in the second half like Jessica Jones or Luke Cage did. I think the fact that they didn't just adapt a storyline from the comics and pad it out to fill the episode order has been a good thing. It ties back into Daredevil a fair bit and has it's dumb / bland bits, but there's nothing truly bad about it.

I only mentioned twelve because they just finish one fight and you think the episode is almost over and nope, one more.

RevKrule posted:This is pretty much my feeling. I'm one of the few people that really likes the Inhumans royals so I was really excited when they put it on the movie slate. Then Perlmutter decided to play keep away with the property and now it's been hosed over. I think it's the other way around. Marvel was pushing Inhumans so hard because they don't have the movie rights to X-Men. I think it's more likely that Marvel Entertainment was pushing for Marvel Studios to do an Inhuman movie and that's why it was stuck on at the end. Remember that The Inhumans movie was never a part of Phase Three, rather it was the beginning of Phase Four. Feige probably never had any interest in doing an Inhumans movie and that's why its a TV series.
