hcreight posted:I'm curious to see if they had any of these characters in mind for crossovers when they made that Sony deal, seeing as how all of these characters have close associations with Spider-Man. But we'll see. Well Daredevil is rated M and I don't see how they can properly translate Alias to television without at least having swearing.

Yeah, the Kevin Smith run might've worked better if you read it at the time, but coming to it like a couple of years ago I thought it was a deeply cynical piece of poo poo. Like all the AIDS stuff and Daredevil almost killing a baby for no reason, just awful.

thrakkorzog posted:Considering how much they ruined your character in Wolverine: Origins, I'm inclined to agree. Not to defend that movie on a qualitative level, but if you were a villain and you had to brainwash Deadpool, sewing his mouth shut would probably be on the top of your list of priorities.

Yeah it's the first issue of Garth Ennis' run which, along with his MAX run, is considered the definitive modern Punisher story.

I can't see them ever doing a standalone Punisher thing again. Something like Ennis' run is just way too bleak and depressing that any large audience would swallow it in the same way as they would Daredevil, there's no good way to make that character sympathetic so it's best to have him as an actual villain. The alternative is to make an over the top action movie, which they did, or hamfistedly try to make him sympathetic, which they did, and neither worked out. That character is done getting his own films/shows.

Gyges posted:At least the one guy Superman killed didn't have to burn to death and then have everyone ignore his death. Good thing for Matt that Catholicism apparently grants you one manslaughter mulligan. Daredevil is anti-killing, but he doesn't magically always avoid killing anyone like Superman. In the comics he is responsible for a lot of deaths, either by accident or neglect or necessity. One of the early Frank Miller comics has him accidentally knocking a prostitute out a window.

DC has a lot of weird steadfast editorial rules regarding Batman or Superman, like how you should never depict Batman sitting down (don't know if they've gone back on this after being ridiculed about it), so not that I know of outside of an Elsewords comic. That's why it was such a big deal when he at least had the intent to kill Darkseid in Final Crisis. But yeah Marvel is generally more flexible about that stuff, even if the hero has a moral obligation to avoid killing. Though they've always gone back and forth about, for instance, Hulk, who has literally destroyed cities without apparently killing anyone.

No, but the movie was practically ready to start shooting when he left the project. Ant-Man is a weird aberration, because it's clearly not part of whatever they're doing with the next 6+ movies, so it just seems like a legacy thing that was planned long before Marvel actually had a solid strategy up until 2020. Well maybe he'll show up in Civil War or something if it's a success, but I doubt it will be (at least on the level of Guardians), I can definitely see it being put into the same drawer as the Ed Norton Hulk in that they'd rather forget it ever existed.

Zythrst posted:Yeah I don't know why they'd shy away from including a Daredevil cameo somewhere, he's an A list character. No he isn't. Not to say he isn't given proper respect but even in the comics he's cordoned off in his own little corner and rarely crosses over with anything else, at least in modern times. The last time I even remember him appearing in a big event was during Civil War and he was not a big part of that either. HIJK posted:Well I can't imagine they won't bring the Defenders into Infinity War considering how popular these shows are or will be. I mean, the whole reason they split Infinity War into two parts is to shove in every single superhero so they can superhero that poo poo up, or so I would think. It would be completely insane not to. Not really, there's no guarantee Defenders will be a big hit and there'll probably be more than enough characters in Infinity War. Besides the whole point of Defenders is that they're the street level heroes, they sure as poo poo aren't going to be messing around with loving Thanos.

Dexo posted:I read it 2 days ago. She says something to the effect of "He would make me watch him raping the random women he found around, but when no one was around to mind control, he would make me beg for it" He would make her beg for it and then not do it, that was the whole point. Ultimately it's a distinction between comic book mind rape and actual rape and it's maybe not worth arguing over, we don't even know whether the show will have anything similar.

Even as cool as Iron Fist can be, his series is the one I'm most iffy about. I think it's a hard sell for TV, I'm worried they can't do all the mystical martial arts stuff justice without turning it into a 70s-style kung fu movie which is pretty played out at this point, but if they make it more realistic it's just gonna be too similar to Daredevil. I'd much rather they just made him a bigger part of Luke Cage's show and turned that into Heroes for Hire, and then went and did a Moon Knight show instead because how loving cool would that be.

tsob posted:Is there any actual Luke Cage comics? I know he's been in Heroes for Hire stuff and been leading his own Avengers team for a while, but has he had any solo stuff in the last decade to go with his new prominence? Cage doesn't have much of a solo presence, at least in modern times. He was kind of a pet character for Bendis (who wrote Alias) and so he used him a lot, he became the leader of the New Avengers as you know, which was a decent book but since it isn't MAX it's obviously very PG and because it was one of the mainline books it got caught up in a lot of event nonsense, especially Civil War, so you'll have to wade through some business to get the complete story. There are neat moments though, like how Luke insists that the Avengers focus more on actual street crime instead of just cosmic bullshit, so he has them visiting crime-ridden neighbourhoods and such. Jessica Jones is also a side character here. Like most long-running Bendis books it eventually goes off the deep end and they start introducing wacky subplots like hiring Squirrel Girl to be their babysitter. You'll probably want to at least read The Pulse which is essentially the sequel to Alias, except it's also not MAX and deals more with the rest of the Marvel universe.

Jedit posted:Kilgrave in the comics once ordered everyone in a busy restaurant to stop breathing because the sound was disturbing him while he ate. I would say that matter of factness is more hosed up than a gibbering nut torturing people because he can. That's debatable, but either way there's a big difference between someone mentioning that a thing happened (I forget whether or not they even depicted that) and having an entire chapter devoted to showing how Dr. Destiny completely loving destroyed these people. Alias never even comes close to being as messed up as that scene in Sandman IMO. Hakkesshu fucked around with this message at 16:21 on Oct 23, 2015 |

Based on this it sounds like there's barely any resemblance between the comic storyline and the TV show beyond the extreme broad stroaks. I don't have a problem with this, but it's worth noting.

I get that her brother died but she is so unreasonable and just downright stupid/selfish/neurotic the whole show I was just waiting for her to be killed off.
