 Welcome to the Marvel Netflix Megathread, where we can binge-watch the four new series (and one miniseries!) coming to everyone's favorite streaming service! All of these series will be considered in-canon to the MCU (that's Marvel Cinematic Universe to those of you who've been living in a cave the last 5 or 6 years), but I wouldn't get my hopes up about them showing up in future films. Stranger things have happened, but I think it's a safer bet that we might see some sort of Agents of SHIELD crossover instead. Ok, maybe they'll be in Captain America: Civil War. So what are these series?  Premieres April 10th, 2015 Matt Murdock has it rough. When he was a kid, he got splashed with some kind of radioactive goop (which may or may not have mutated some turtles afterwards, it's kinda vague), blinding him. He also got some super-heightened senses out of the deal though, so that's kinda cool. It also makes it easier for him to beat the living hell out of the criminal elements in Hell's Kitchen! Who's In It?  Charlie Cox as Matt Murdock/Daredevil As the Man Without Fear, Matt Murdock is a lawyer during the day, and a vigilante at night. Previously seen on the big screen...you know what, forget that because it was awful. The Daredevil costume is a bit of a departure from tradition, but rumor has it by the end of the series he'll have his horned mask.  Vincent D'onofrio as Wilson Fisk/The Kingpin Don't let the weight fool you, Wilson Fisk is a goddamned walking tank. He is a force of nature that just happens to enjoy running the New York underworld a lot, and messing with him isn't a good idea. However, in that this series is more the rise of Daredevil, it's also the rise of Fisk. He's not the Kingpin yet, but we'll see how he gets there.  AKA Jessica Jones, Premieres TBA 2015 Jessica Jones also has it a bit rough. She tried the whole superhero thing and ended up with a good case of PTSD for her trouble. Now she's a PI for both normal and gifted individuals in New York. Who's In It?  Krystan Ritter as Jessica Jones Jessica fell victim to that good old fashioned Marvel go-to source of powers in the comics, radioactive waste, granting her super strength, limited invulnerability, and flight (which she apparently never really mastered). No word on if that's going to be the case for the series, but my guess is it'll have something to do with the Battle of New York during The Avengers.  David Tennant as Zebediah Kilgrave/The Purple Man Dosed with an experimental nerve gas that dyed his skin and hair purple, Zebediah Kilgrave also found that he could release pheromones that can control people's behavior. The official synopsis for the show indicates that he simply is from Jessica's past, but also that he's the primary villain for the series. Also, he started as a member of Daredevil's rogues gallery originally.  Marvel's Iron Fist, Premieres TBA Danny Rand is a martial artist who has mastered the technique of the Iron Fist, allowing him to focus his chi, which allows him to punch and kick really really hard. Did you know we almost had a movie starring Ray Park back in the early 2000's? Anyway, no casting yet.  Marvel's Luke Cage, Premieres TBA Sweet Christmas! Subjected to a failed attempt to duplicate the Super Soldier Serum, Luke Cage gained super-strength and bullet-proof skin. In the comics he once called Dr. Doom "Honey". I am dead serious. Luke will first appear in AKA Jessica Jones before his own series premieres. Who's In It?  Mike Colter as Luke Cage Aside from him first appearing on Jessica's series, little is known about the direction Luke Cage will take. It's assumed we'll get his backstory there, partially because in current continuity, Jessica's full name is Jessica Jones Cage. Oh yeah, he taps that.  Marvel's The Defenders Premiering after Luke Cage, this miniseries will see all four of our primary heroes team up in some fashion yet to be determined. So there we have it, a basic rundown, which will be updated as more information becomes available. Personally, I can't wait. And Luke Cage better goddamn say Sweet Christmas at some point.

Gaz-L posted:The opening shot is right out of a Joe Quesada drawing. Chasing the bad guy onto the train tracks is right out of Man Without Fear. Did you catch the name of that bad guy? Quesada Also, I will go to the wall and defend Michael Clarke Duncan as Kingpin. Were he still alive, I'd demand that he get a second chance. And I can't hate too much on Colin Farrel as Bullseye. He was having too much fun in the role to hate.

Narcissus1916 posted:If you care enough about it, the director's cut of Daredevil is a HUGE improvement. Practically a different movie, with the focus shifted away the half-baked Elektra romance. In its place is actual scenes of the courtroom, with a pretty great subplot that at least gives the film a coherent reason for Daredevil and Kingpin to fight. Plus, Coolio!

So the "Purple" in "Purple Man" seems to refer mostly to his fashion sense. But I liiiike it.

So apparently Iron Fist is now in limbo because they're not sure just how much supernatural stuff to involve in the Netflix series. All the other series are staying relatively grounded (relatively speaking), and Danny Rand's chi-focusing kind of knocks that into a cocked hat. It probably doesn't help that they still haven't cast him yet, either.

Aphrodite posted:It's not the powers. It's the magic. Exactly. Marvel's been very careful about the mystical stuff so far. Thor kind of went out of its way to repeatedly reinforce the idea that what the Asgardians have is science so advanced that it might as well be magic, and it seems like they're being cautious about how they're handling Doctor Strange. Pretty much all the powered MCU characters have at least a basic explanation for how they can do what they do. Iron Fist and Doctor Strange are game changers because they start implementing "It's magic, we don't have to explain it." edit: STAC Goat posted:And Luke Cage has super strength and Jessica Jones flys. Except we don't have official confirmation of their MCU powersets yet. I mean, I really don't see them taking that away from Cage, but the flight ability might just be outside the budget.

BottledBodhisvata posted:Also, the absolute worst part of the show so far was Jessica using her dumb rear end crackhead neighbor as a patsy to steal some drugs. There's a moment where it slows down and she looks at him and he looks away like he's SO BETRAYED and I laughed my rear end off. Okay, sure, I'm going to feel bad because Jessica used this junkie who lets himself into other people's apartments to do some sneaky hero poo poo. Wow, yeah, this beloved friend of yours is just so hurt. He's had three scenes and every one of them has him being a gently caress up, but yeah man, Jessica betrayed his trust or something. That moment is meant to show that in her desperation to stop Kilgrave, Jessica has become just as low as he has: using someone just because he was convenient. Also, to whoever said they want a Mortal Kombat TV show for Iron Fist...well, be very careful what you wish for.

Best thing about the season? At no point does anyone demand to be put in Supermax. That loving episode...if it wasn't for the amazing Kilgrave scene in the police station, that ep would be completely unwatchable.

Mike N Eich posted:Daredevil the show has this nasty habit of introducing side characters and then immediately killing them or making them double cross the main characters. They go through so many it becomes a cliche and then totally boring, worst example being : Clancy Brown's character, who could have been just a nice scene showing the depth of Frank Castle's character but instead I guess is the Blacksmith drug lord who may or may not have intentionally murdered Castle's family. Well, wait, why did he testify in the first place to help Castle if he actually wanted him dead? Why does any of this make sense? You know what? As much of a waste it would've been to only use Clancy Brown for just that one scene, I'd grant that. I'm a guy who the second I hear that distinctive voice, I'm all loving in for whatever role he has, so to only have him in that one five minute scene would not nearly be enough...but I get what you're saying there. In a way, it would have been good to show him just as Frank's former CO and friend, and had the Blacksmith be more of a Punisher Season One villain. Also, then we could have Clancy Brown as a recurring character.

Aphrodite posted:Batman knows he's completely hosed up, and doesn't kill people because if he starts he's going to get to a point where he just kills everyone. Of course, then there's the stupid as gently caress Elseworlds Batman books where he becomes a vampire to fight Dracula, but he's like a good one until the Joker kills Catwoman (who's a werecat), so Batman snaps and kills Joker in revenge but oh noes now he has to keep killing because he killed Joker and gently caress I hated that story.
